Happy Heart Shaped Gua Sha, Obsidian

Happy's heart-shaped gua sha is a hand-held facial massage tool cut from obsidian, a glossy black volcanic glass that is traditionally associated with serenity. Gua sha is a Traditional Chinese Medicine technique; the facial version is a deeper massage that uses the smooth, curved edges of the stone to sweep across the skin and help firm its look.

People use it to ease tension in the jaw and cheeks and to reduce the look of morning puffiness. Apply a facial oil or moisturizer first so the stone glides, use light to medium pressure and keep the tool as flat to the skin as you can, using the pointed tip around the brow and eyes. Handle with care and do not drop it.
