The Gua Sha promotes lymphatic drainage and helps give the skin a glow.

The benefits of gua sha have been known by traditional Chinese medicine for thousands of years, and are still used for today’s beauty routines. This facial massage tool was perfected over the centuries to promote the circulation of interstitial fluid, reduce puffiness, reduce inflammation, stimulate blood flow, help release facial tension, and help define the facial contours, tone the skin, and brighten its complexion.

Made of black obsidian, the Omy Gua Sha is elegant and truly unique. It is engraved with your name at the Omy laboratory, to remind you, on a daily basis, of the importance of taking a moment of relaxation for yourself.

*Please note! As the Gua Sha is made of volcanic stone, it may break if dropped on the ground or on a solid surface.

The name on the personalized Gua Sha will be engraved exactly as it was written in the order. Please make sure that there are no typographical errors when completing the order.

Uses of the Gua Sha and tips:

• This tool is designed to be used with a skin care product and should never be used dry. Apply facial oil or customized serum to clean skin.

• Hold the gua sha at a 30 degree angle against the skin and avoid placing it perpendicular to the face. For an enhanced facial appearance, massage the stone from the bottom to the top of the face and from the center to the outside of the face.

• Tip: For an anti-puffiness effect and to restore the skin's radiance, keep the Gua Sha in the refrigerator.

• Tip: For a soothing effect, put the Gua Sha under warm water before doing your beauty routine.
