100% NATURAL AGATE STONE
Each stone is truly one of a kind. The natural variance in pattern and color are what make each piece uniquely beautiful.

Agate is known for its grounding, strengthening, and protective properties, promoting physical strength, emotional balance, and healing. They perfectly compliment the Essentialist approach to beauty from the inside out.
What
Which tool is right for you?
Both styles have been designed to be used interchangeably on the face or body and are appropriate for beginner or advanced users alike.
Wavy- The waved edged tool has been designed to caress the face and neck and is ideal for gentle lymphatic drainage work. The shape makes it easy to hold and a larger surface area makes it perfect for body work on the shoulders, arms, legs, and back. This tool is great for those who are discovering gua sha as there are no complicated maneuvers necessary for optimal utilization.
Edgy- The sharp curves are designed to hug your jaw line, cheek and brow bones, while the jagged edges are made for targeting deeper lines and wrinkles. This tool is excellent for users who are very comfortable with basic gua sha techniques and want to use the tool to explore more advanced target work.

FOR SENSITIVE SKIN AND LARGER SURFACE AREA BODY WORK
Edgy- Toothed Edges and Sharper Curves
FOR ADVANCED FACIAL SCULPTING AND WRINKLE WORK
Why
Benefits of Practice
This ancient Chinese technique is one of the most simple and rewarding self-care practices that you can do literally anywhere. Just like our bodies, the face is made of muscles that can benefit tremendously from gua sha by addressing stagnant energy, increasing blood circulation, promoting lymphatic drainage, breaking down fascia, and reducing facial bloating. With regular use you will not only ease tension, stress, and minimize lines that naturally form from expression but, you will actively tone and enhance skin elasticity too. Working with the epidermis and dermal layers beneath, gua sha also helps to prevent and clear breakouts. There’s a reason gua sha users report having smoother, plumper, and more lifted looking skin, it works!
How
Using your Stone
Pair with our antioxidant rich Daily Renewal Facial Oil for the treat your skin is begging for. Start by generously misting toner or essence onto a freshly washed face. Follow with 3-5 drops of our Daily Renewal Facial Oil and apply all over your face and neck. The key is to create a surface that your tool will glide across- never practice on dry skin. Take this time to set the tone for your ritual with some deep cleansing breaths. If you're familiar with gua sha continue your practice as you normally would.

Warning: Be very careful when the stone is oily or wet, it will be slippery and can break if dropped.
