Minēra — Porcelain gua sha

Gua sha is a self-massage tool designed to detoxify, smooth and restore radiance to facial skin, while improving blood circulation and lymphatic drainage. It comes from a Chinese therapeutic method that dates back to the time of the emperors and whose practice has been proven by traditional Chinese medicine for millennia.

Minēra is the very first porcelain gua sha made in Canada. Sculpted by hand in Quebec in the Limoges tradition, it is made from a 100% natural blend of kaolin, quartz and feldspar. MINĒRA was created for everyone, regardless of age, gender, skin type, personality, lifestyle, or level of discipline. It is an accessible, minimalist, and sustainable self-care tool that combines the power of minerals and the wisdom of the body to reveal your natural and unique beauty.

Use

Cleanse the skin and apply your favorite serum or oil to facilitate the massage. Repeat each of the 9 exercises below 3 to 5 times per session; massage each side of the face separately for maximum results. Allow about 5 minutes. Clean and store your Minēra.
