A deluxe self care package including a modern twist on an ancient Chinese facial massage tool and a deeply penetrating and hydrating organic jojoba oil
Comes in a minimalistic, plastic-free eco gift box (100% home compostable packaging and shipping).
Gua Sha (pronounced “gwa sha”) is an ancient Chinese facial massage technique that can help with:
- improving energy flow and blood circulation
- encouraging lymphatic drainage (aiding the body in removal of waste and toxins)
- improving skin complexation, vitality and elasticity by increasing collagen and elastin production
- increasing skin absorption (paired beautifully with jojoba oil benefits!)
- oxygenating the skin
- reducing skin and eye puffiness
- relieving muscle tension throughout the face and neck
- connecting to your body and self through self care ritual and meditation
Gua Sha Features:
- Made of medical grade stainless steel (304 stainless steel), meaning strength, durability, cleanliness, corrosion and rust resistance and recyclability
-
Made to last - other crystal gua shas are fragile/breakable
- Rounded, smooth edges with each side of the gua sha tool suiting a different purpose (see photo) and allows you to massage your facial acupressure points
- Lightweight, portable and durable
Jojoba oil (pronounced "ho-ho-ba") is one of the only plants known to produce wax esters that are nearly identical to those in our skin, meaning it is a natural oil that mimics our skin's own oils, penetrating the skin deeply for nourishing hydration. Jojoba oil can help with:
-
moisturising, regenerating and repairing damaged skin cells
- anti-ageing
-
soothing sensitive skin as it is gentle and non-irritating
- balancing oily or acne-prone skin as it is non-comedogenic so will not clog your pores!
-
improving the appearance of scars and stretch marks
- naturally removing make-up

-

- Cold pressed extraction method
- Suitable for all skin types
- Readily absorbed
- High in Omega 6 and 9, full of vitamins A, D, E and antioxidants
- Can be applied to face, body and scalp

Directions for Use: The amount of pressure applied in gua sha massage needs to be firm to achieve best results (but not too hard). Ensure your face and gua sha tool are clean before commencing - simply run the tool under fresh water with some natural soap. Apply a small amount of jojoba oil to your face and neck. You want to scrape the tool (almost flat, not upright) along your skin. Working from the collarbone up the neck, or from the centre of your face outwards, following the contours of your face. There are many tutorial videos on gua sha online, which I recommend exploring and following along while you get the hang of it. You can do this daily and it is a beautiful addition to your morning flow.
