One small tool, endless skincare perks.

Hype around trendy beauty products is often just that: a whole lot of talk and minimal results. In the case of gua sha tools, tools from traditional Chinese medicine that are surging in spas and on Instagram, the excitement is to be believed.

Gua sha tools refer to jade, rose quartz, crystalline, and other semiprecious stones carved to have a firm, flat surface. The term translates from Chinese to “scraping,” but these stone tools aren’t meant for exfoliating. Instead, gua sha tools are pressed on the face in gentle, upward strokes. A few rounds of gua sha can tone the face while also increasing blood flow and stimulating the lymphatic system. Some even consider it a viable (and needle-free) alternative to line-eliminating procedures like Botox. Unlike the jade roller you may have bought last year, the angles on a gua sha tool allow you to apply more pressure to your skin for increased circulation.

Getting in on gua sha’s revival doesn’t require a trip to a fancy spa. Consider the products below your beginner’s guide to gua sha tools, from the simplest rose quartz stone to an expert-level jade set. Pick your favorite, then proudly take a seat on the bandwagon.

Mount Lai's gua sha tool hits all the right notes: curved edges to hug sensitive areas, flat edges for increased pressure, and smooth jade stone for a refreshing touch. Apply a thin layer of your favorite moisturizing serum, then settle in for some serious contouring with this pick.

Odacité's curved edges were carved for massaging delicate skin around the eyes. Gentle strokes under and around eyes with this gua sha tool reduces puffiness and under-eye circles.

Four edges, four ways to experience the power of a gua sha tool. Shiffa's two-point edge can ease tension along the jawline, while its serrated edge can massage the back of the neck. Then, the curved side can aid circulation in the face, chest, and front of the neck.

For all-over tension relief, all day, you're in the right place. Gingerchi's take on gua sha tools fuses two products into one must-have relaxation item. Its curved edges offer all the circulation-enhancing qualities of a typical gua sha, but the comb side can also massage the scalp.

Most gua sha tools are made with jade or rose quartz. Wildling's take is custom-created with a blend of over 40 trace minerals with purported antioxidant properties. Expect your skin to feel extra-invigorated after 30 minutes with Wildling's gua sha tool.

Gua sha tools brighten your complexion—why not choose a bright tool for the job? You don't have to be a crystal fanatic to appreciate the extra touch a limited-edition amethyst gives this straightforward gua sha tool.

All the facial contouring you could ever need, all provided in a two-for-one gua sha and facial roller kit. With two tools in your arsenal, get ready for brighter, plumper skin in three...two...

This heart-shaped gua sha tool may look sweet on your bedside table, but the whimsical shape is for a reason. The smooth curves and large surface area accommodate more sensitive skin that's in need of a circulation boost.
