Best Gua Sha Tools for De-Puffing and Defining Your Face — 2022
Black Obsidian*, extrusive igneous, *Authenticity Certified
Hand Carved, Made in China
Soak Hot Stone in 110F water (not boiling) for 1-3 mins. Place Hot Stone Facial Sheet Mask over cleansed, dry face.
Retrieve hot stone and dry it quickly. Press the Gua Sha for 5-10 sec over sheet mask, focusing on pores/blemished areas.
Continue massage for 5-10 min. If using without sheet mask, apply facial oil to skin first.
Step 1
Gently scrap outwards from the center of the face
Step 2
Press the warmed Gua Sha against the skin to boost the warmth of the Hot Stone Facial Mask
Step 3
Scrape along the jawline, neck and shoulders to reduce puffiness and relieve muscle tension
What's the difference between the Facial Roller and Gua Sha? Both the Facial Roller and Gua Sha can be used to massage, de-stress and de-puff the face while speeding up product absorption, however the Gua Sha can also be used to "scrape" across lymphatic points under the chin, along the neck and shoulders. A Gua Sha can also be used on the body, whereas Facial Rollers were traditionally made for the face and neck only. Facial Rollers are traditionally used cold, while Gua Shas are warmed up for massage.
Will the heat from the Gua Sha trigger redness in my skin? Everyone has different heat preferences, however we recommend not over heating the Gua Sha above 110F for safety reasons and also to minimize the risk of irritation. If used together with the Hot Stone Facial Sheet mask, it is unlikely to cause any redness that won't subside naturally after the session. Please do not exert too much strength onto skin; the massage should be comfortable and gentle.
How often should I use this Gua Sha? Gua Shas can be used every day, however we recommend using it with the Hot Stone Facial Sheet for a pampering home-spa session 2-3 times a week for quickly visible skincare results.
Is this product safe for pregnant or breastfeeding women? Yes!
Can I use a microwave to warm up the Gua Sha? NEVER use a microwave to warm up the Gua Sha. Our Gua Sha is made from natural black obsidian stone and its natural heat retention properties mean that it will heat up extremely fast. It is likely to become too hot for use even if you put it in a microwave for just a few seconds. Please use water around 110F to start, and avoid using boiling water for safety reasons.
Any Gua Sha Tips and Tricks? Try the Gua Sha on your hands! Hand Reflexology with Gua Sha is fast, great way to relax at home and can be done easily on your own (just alternate both hands).
SAFETY: If you accidentally break your Gua Sha, please dispose of the shards immediately in a safe manner. Obsidian is a very sharp natural material and is best kept away from children and pets.
4 MASSAGE TOUCH POINTS The traditional "wing" shape of Gua Sha mimics the shape of a hand, offering 4 massage touch points as well as the flat surface for pressing against the sheet mask or skin to help relax muscle tension and boost serum absorption.
EXCELLENT WARMTH RETENTION A premium "hot stone" for warmed massages that help stimulate blood circulation. Use with Hot Stone Facial Mask for amplified masking results.
PROTECTIVE ENERGIES In crystal therapy, black obsidian is believed to have protective energies against mental stress and negative thoughts. Similarly in Feng Shui, it is thought to help clear out obstacles in one's career and life path, protecting its user from deception.
As Seen In
"Grab a jade roller or a gua sha tool, like the Snow Fox Black Obsidian Hot Stone Gua Sha to massage your face, help with fluid retention and sculpt. Both tools can be kept in the fridge so they feel refreshing and cool. We love to pair these with a facial oil."
"This is a hand-held stone tool with originations in ancient China. In fact, gua sha loosely translates to “scraping away stagnant energy.” It should be held nearly flat against the skin and very gently glided. This is soothing, but also facilitates lymphatic drainage and reduces inflammation."
Satisfied Customers
★★★★★ "The obsidian is really good quality. It's a little slippery when using with oils, but after a while I got the hang of it and it's been so relaxing to use (especially on the neck and shoulders)."

★★★★★ "I adore this gua sha. I have a few from other brands which cost me a pretty penny, but Snow Fox ones are my top faves."
— S W
★★★★★ "I use mine on my face, neck, shoulders and even hand and inner wrists! Ever since I discovered gua sha therapy I have been using it everyday and have been feeling so much better, less anxiety, more focused, better mood and can't stop recommending this to all my friends! Snow Fox has the best crystal tools I've seen around."

it came packaged very protectively without too much packing, the box itself is hard paper which kept it from being smashed in the post. They were smart to put the diagram on the lid itself instead of wasting paper. Minimal foam. My box came in a beautiful recycbale paper box with biodegradable wrapping, stickers and all! Very thoughtful company.
