Gua Sha Tool + Face Oil Set
Guasha and face oil are the perfect duo to give your skin a real treat! What exactly is guasha and what does it do?
Gua sha is one of the oldest recorded forms of traditional chinese medicine to increase energy flow and blood circulation. It works to brighten the complexion, as well as contours and sculpts which in turn softens fine lines and wrinkles. It also assists with reducing inflammation & puffiness while providing a lymphatic drainage.
Why a stainless steel guasha as opposed to jade, obsidian, or rose quartz?
- stainless steel is nearly impossible to break while natural stones break easily if dropped
- the market is saturated with 'fake' stones and crystals so it has become increasingly difficult to trust the actual material of a guasha.
- naturally very cool which allows lymphatic vessels to shrink more quickly.
- eco friendly-100% recylable
When practiced regularly, gua sha promotes better circulation, healthier skin tissue, and stronger facial muscles, as well as reduces puffiness, lessens the appearance of lines, and improves skin texture and elasticity. The result from regular use of gua sha is a more toned complexion with a natural glow.

EFO-Summer was specifically formulated to be a lighter version of our best selling Essential Face Oil. How is it lighter while still being full of nourishing & hydrating oils? Certain botanical oils are considered to be 'dry' because they absorb more quickly into the skin. Grapeseed oil is one of these and now found in Summer Days. This oil has all the same properties of EFO, such as being an excellent regenerating, revitalizing, and restoring serum for mature or aging skin, but also with the additon of an antioxidant powerhouse from the polyphenol compounds of grapeseeds.
