Mount Lai Gua Sha Facial Lifting Tool - Multiple Options
Gua sha has been practiced in Traditional Chinese Medicine for thousands of years. Perfected throughout the centuries, the gua sha tool was built to have a firming, lifting effect on the skin.
Besides improving overall health and radiance of the skin, gua sha has a multitude of benefits:
Sculpts and contours facial features
Promotes lymphatic drainage
Reduces puffiness and fluid buildup
Relieves facial and jaw tension
Aids in circulation to give skin a glow
Firms and lifts the face over time
How to use:
Start with a clean face and prep skin with a facial oil or serum to enhance the glide of the gua sha tool and nourish the skin
Keep the tool flat against the face and begin with the forehead. Scrape in an upward motion from the eyebrows to the hairline
Move to the cheeks and scrape in an outward motion starting from the crease of the nose until the ear
Move to the jawline and use the end of the gua sha tool with the two curves. Start from the chin and scrape until the ear. Gently massage the gua sha tool into the ear to release tension
For the under-eye area, very gently scrape the gua sha tool from the inner corner of the eye outwards to the temple. Because the area is so sensitive, it is important to only apply light pressure
Stone options:
Jade: Balancing and naturally cooling
Black obsidian: Unlike other stones, black obsidian naturally retains warmth and is great to use on congested, blemish-prone skin. The warmth of the obsidian encourages stimulation of the lymphatic system and circulation. To warm these tools, place them in a glass of warm water.
Rose quartz: Soothing; considered “the stone of love.”
Mount Lai is based around Traditional Chinese Medicine practices that have been passed down through generations, inspired by founder Stephanie Zheng's grandmother, who has been jade rolling and practicing gua sha for more than 50 years. Her grandmother treated her skincare routine as a breath of calmness in her busy life. A daily ritual, an act of self-care.
The brand is cruelty-free, vegan, Leaping Bunny-certified and carbon-neutral.
