The Effect
How the Gua Sha stone can improve your skin
Smoothing
The Gua Sha stone smoothes the skin and massages away expression lines that form throughout the day, particularly on the forehead, around the eyes and around the mouth.
Firming
The massage improves muscle tone, which decreases significantly over the years. The muscles pull the skin downwards, deep wrinkles appear and the face loses contour. Regular use is like a workout for the facial muscles, they appear more defined and firmer.

FAQs
Why do I need the Gua Sha stone?
Gua Sha is a centuries-old technique from Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). There are dozens of different stone shapes. The so-called ‘mushroom’ is ideal for massaging in your oils. It stimulates blood circulation and ensures plumper skin and firmer contours. The mushroom also has a cooling and decongestant effect, especially when applied to the eye area in the morning
How do I use the stone?
The stone should always be used on oiled skin to avoid excessive friction and to create a pleasant massage effect. In contrast to other Gua Sha stones, the application of the stone is very simple and intuitive. There is no specific technique to follow, making it the ideal tool for beginners to Gua Sha.
How often should I use the stone?
Ideally daily, at least three to many times a week to achieve good results. You can use it in the evening or in the morning if your face is pale and the area around your eyes is a little swollen. The cool, heavy stone has a particularly pleasant effect here. In the evening, it is ideal for working in the Master Elixir; the massage stimulates blood circulation and helps the skin to absorb the active ingredients better. A massage of the temples and neck is particularly beneficial, for example for tension headaches. It is advisable to work with two Mushrooms at the same time.
Do I have to look after the stone?
You should rinse your Gua Sha stone briefly with hot water and a mild soap after use and then pat dry. We deliver the mushroom in a small bag, so you can keep it safe and clean.
