Black Obsidian Gua Sha

Samson & Charlie's Black Obsidian Gua Sha carved of authentic volcanic glass as the ancient Chinese beauty tool used to improve the skin's firmness and enhance the performance of facial oils/serums absorption while stimulating collagen production for firmer skin. Black Obsidian is known as the 'Truth Stone' purging negative thoughts and emotions. Believed to provide powerful mental detoxification that shields and protects against negativity allowing the bearer to release disharmony, resentment and anger.

Gua Sha is an ancient Chinese practice of scraping the skin with a Gua Sha Tool to improve energy flow and blood circulation. In Chinese, “gua” means “to scrape” and “sha” loosely translates to “sand” and refers to the rough, sand-like rash and bruises created by the traditional treatment method. However, the modern application is gentler and also balancing of chakra with the use of a crystal stone. 

This ancient technique has experienced a revival as an amazingly effective Facial  & Body sculpting method of using a crystal Gua Sha sculpting tool to improve the smoothness and firmness of the skin by using firm long strokes for several minutes.   

Most practitioners agree that consistent use of the tool helps improve microcirculation, skin toning and smoothness. The Gua Sha massage is a great treatment for breaking down fat deposits as it works to improve circulation. Gua sha effectively works at increasing blood flow beneath the skin.

*We recommend using a facial oil, to begin with, this will aid absorption and enhance the effects of your serum or oil.

Expect natural variations in the stones, each Gua Sha will be unique in colour and pattern. The smoothness of the edges is the primary function of the Gua Sha we inspect each stone to ensure the edge is not rough or sharp. It is normal for natural indentations to be present which are characteristic of a natural crystal stone and do not adversely affect its use or performance.
