Gua Sha Tool, Stainless Steel

Most gua sha tools are stone. This one is stainless steel, which means it stays cold, it doesn't chip, and you can actually clean it properly.

The curved edge follows the jaw and the flat face covers the cheek and neck in one pass. Ten minutes with a facial oil, upward and outward, is the whole method. Keep it in the fridge if you want the cold to do more of the work.

Use it

• Over oil or serum, never on dry skin
• Light pressure, always upward and outward
• Five to ten minutes, three or four evenings a week

What it doesn't do

It doesn't change your face. It moves fluid, it feels good, and skin looks less puffy for a while afterwards — best in the morning before something matters. Anyone promising more than that is selling you something else.
