Description

Designed as a dual-function facial tool, this gua sha pairs traditional sculpting techniques with targeted pressure to support circulation, release facial tension, and encourage lymphatic flow. The curved gingko-inspired form glides comfortably along the natural contours of the face, while the integrated acupressure tip allows for focused work on pressure points around the jaw, temples, and brow.

One edge features subtle ridges designed to gently massage areas prone to fine lines and tension, helping stimulate circulation at the surface of the skin and support a smoother-looking appearance over time.

Made from 440c stainless steel, this tool is naturally non-porous and hygienic, designed for longevity and repeat use. Designed for slow, intentional use as part of a daily facial practice.

Pairs well with our No. 2 Vanilla Body Oil for comfortable glide and an elevated ritual.

MATERIALS

How to Use

Directions: Use with a facial oil or serum to support smooth glide across the skin. We recommend preparing the skin with a small amount of our No. 2 Vanilla Body Oil before use. Designed for slow, intentional application across the face, neck, and décolletage.

Storage: Clean the tool after each use with warm water and a gentle soap. Store in the included cotton dust bag.

The Morning Ritual

01. Awaken the Lymph Nodes

Begin by gently stimulating key lymphatic areas to help open pathways for lymph fluid to move and drain properly.

02. Prepare the skin

Apply a small amount of No. 2 Vanilla Body Oil to clean skin to allow the tool to glide comfortably without pulling the skin.

03. Sculpt & Glide

Using the curved edges of the gua sha, glide outward and upward along the natural contours of the face. Use slow, consistent strokes, allowing the tool to do the work.

04. Target with pressure

Use the integrated acupressure tip to apply gentle, focused pressure in areas of tension.

05. Refine with the Ridged Edge

Use the ridged side of the tool to gently massage areas prone to fine lines or congestion.

06. Finish & Reset

End with a few light, downward strokes along the neck toward the collarbone to support lymphatic flow.

FAQ

What makes this gua sha different from others?

This is a dual-function facial tool designed to pair traditional gua sha sculpting techniques with targeted pressure in a single form. The gingko-inspired silhouette allows you to glide and sculpt along the natural contours of your face while the integrated acupressure tip and subtle ridged edge allow for more focused work in areas of tension and fine lines.

Why stainless steel?

Stainless steel is naturally non-porous and easy to clean, making it well suited for facial tools used regularly on the skin. It’s durable, stable, and designed for long-term use, offering a consistent surface for intentional facial massage.

How is this different from a stone gua sha?

Unlike stone tools, stainless steel is non-porous and does not absorb oils or bacteria. It is more durable, consistent in temperature, and designed for repeated, long-term use without chipping or cracking.

What is the acupressure tip used for?

The acupressure tip is designed for targeted pressure on areas of tensions, including the jaw hinge, temples, brow bone, sides of the nose, and ear points. Gentle pressure at these points can help release facial tension and support relaxation.

What are the ridges on the edge used for?

The ridged edge is designed to gently massage areas prone to fine lines and tension. Use with light pressure, it helps stimulate circulation at the surface of the skin and supports a smoother-looking appearance over time.

How often should I use the gua sha?

This tool can be used daily or a few times per week, depending on preference. It can be incorporated into a morning ritual as a way to gently stimulate circulation and release facial tension daily.

Do I need to use an oil with it?

For best glide and comfort, we recommend using a facial oil or serum. Our No. 2 Vanilla Body Oil pairs well with this tool – it’s acne-safe and non-comedogenic.

Can this be used on sensitive or acne-prone skin?

Yes. Stainless steel is non-porous and easy to clean, making it suitable for sensitive and acne-prone skin types. Always use gentle pressure and an adequate slip agent such as our No. 2 Vanilla Body Oil.

Can I use this on my neck and décolletage?

Yes. This tool can be used on the face, neck, and décolletage using light to medium pressure.

Is this tool suitable for beginners?

Yes. The shape and weight are designed to feel intuitive and easy to control. We recommend starting with light pressure and following the guided ritual on the product page.

Should I ice or chill my gua sha before use?

We do not recommend using the tool cold. Traditional gua sha practices emphasize warmth to support circulation and lymphatic flow. For this reason, the tool is designed to be used at room temperature or gently warmed in the hands or warm water before use, rather than chilled.
