Amethyst Gua Sha Facial Massage Tool

Starting with a clean face, prep the skin by applying a generous amount of hydrating facial mist to your face and neck and directly follow with your favourite face oil or serum. This provides slip so the Gua Sha Facial Massage Tool glides along the contours of your face.

Holding the tool at a 15-45 degree angle, gently glide the Gua Sha in upwards strokes following the natural contours of the face. Focus on areas where you hold tension such as your jaw, cheeks, brows, forehead and under eye area.

Gua Sha, an ancient practice rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), offers a wealth of skincare and wellness benefits:

• Gently lifts and firms the skin, giving a natural, non-invasive facelift effect.
• Promotes lymphatic drainage to reduce puffiness and eliminate toxins.
• Improves circulation for a radiant, glowing complexion.
• Releases muscle tension in the face and neck, relieving tightness and promoting relaxation.
• Enhances absorption of your favourite serums and oils.

Using a Gua Sha tool with a combed edge adds additional benefits to your facial massage. The combed edge provides a unique texture and vibration on the skin that can enhance the effectiveness of the Gua Sha technique. Here are some of the key benefits:

Enhanced Stimulation for Circulation
The combed edge offers gentle stimulation to the skin and underlying tissues, promoting better blood flow and circulation. This can help deliver oxygen and nutrients to the skin, resulting in a brighter and healthier complexion.

Deeper Release of Tension
The combed edge can target areas of built-up muscle tension more effectively than a smooth edge. It is particularly useful for releasing tightness in areas like the jawline, neck, and shoulders, where knots and tension tend to accumulate.

Increased Lymphatic Drainage
The textured surface helps to encourage lymphatic drainage, clearing away toxins and excess fluid more effectively. This makes it ideal for reducing puffiness, especially around the cheeks and under-eye area.

Boosts Collagen Production
By providing deeper stimulation, the combed edge can help activate the skin’s natural collagen production, which contributes to improved skin elasticity and a firmer appearance over time.

Amethyst is a calming and protective crystal, cherished for centuries for its ability to soothe the mind, ease stress, and promote emotional balance.

Often referred to as the stone of peace, intuition, and spiritual connection, it carries a gentle yet powerful energy that helps quiet mental chatter and encourage relaxation - making it ideal for evening rituals and restorative self-care.

Energetically, Amethyst is connected to the Third Eye and Crown Chakras, supporting clarity, inner wisdom, and a deeper connection to oneself.

On a physical level, its naturally cooling and anti-inflammatory properties can assist in calming redness and tension in the skin, promoting a clearer and more radiant complexion.

Bringing Amethyst into your Gua Sha practice creates a moment of stillness and serenity, nurturing both outer beauty and inner harmony.

After use, wipe clean with a soft, damp cloth after each use. If needed, use mild soap and warm water.

To further cleanse your Amethyst Gua Sha Facial Massage Tool, you can place it on a selenite plate which naturally charges crystals and renews their energy. Alternatively, you can place it under the light of the full moon.

Store in a dry, safe place - ideally keep it in the included cotton dust bag to protect it from scratches and energy build up.
