One thing that has remained constant in the beauty space this year so far is the importance of wellness. According to market research firm Spate, this influenced the way consumers approached skin care as well, with facial massage (+28.4%) and other techniques becoming a popular form of facial care.
 
The gua sha stone is a tool that allows consumers to improve circulation by massaging their face or different parts of the body to improve skin health and promote a glowing complexion. Jade is the traditional stone used for the tool, but rose quartz is also a popular variety sold. Consider the gua sha to be the original facial device!
 
I  tried the Lanshin Pro Gua Sha Tool and found it to be a great addition to my daily skin care routine—especially after applying a facial oil or serum. The stone is smooth, relaxing and actually provides lymphatic drainage to the face.
 
The facial tool was designed by beauty expert Sandra Lanshin Chiu, an acupuncturist, herbalist and renowned expert in facial gua sha and Chinese Medicine-based skin care.

According to the company, it has a variety of skincare kits on its website that pair products with the gua sha stones.
