L'Occitane Body Gua Sha

I got this stone-like massage tool for working in lotions into my arms and legs and for relaxation and circulation. It is well-made and I like the shape of it and edge of it for applying creams and lotions. It said on it that I could put in the fridge for 10 minutes before use for a cooler effect but right now it's plenty cold as is when I'm using it. I do not have or plan to get the artichoke scrub so I can't vouch for how that works.

This L'OCCITANE Body Gua Sha has a beautiful design to it and an interesting shape. This is made from a quartz material which is synthetic but contains actual stone and minerals to give it the weight and feel of a natural stone. It has a really interesting shape and nice smooth edges and corners making it a good tool for the job. I use this on its own or with lotion to massage and it has a nice, luxurious feel to it. It comes wrapped in tissue in a nice-looking box so it would be good as a gift. While it is pricier than some, it is on par with other name brand gua shas and L'OCCITANE is a highly regarded company. I do think this would potentially be fragile if you drop it, but I'd also imagine it would be a little more resilient than a natural stone. Overall this is a high-quality gua sha and if you are looking for something high end and don't mind paying a little extra for a name brand, this is a great choice.

This is a review of L’OCCITANE Body Gua Sha: Stone-Like Massage Tool to Stimulate Skin Micro-Circulation First of all, this massage tool is very attractive. The soft honey yellow color is lovely, and the tool and feels good in the hand. It is a pretty standard gua sha tool shape, so it is similar to a less expensive tool that I already had, though on this one the short edge has three scallops rather than two. I don’t have the special Occitane artichoke body cream, so I use itool with other creams and it works well. In general gua sha is supposed to enhance blood flow, stimulate lymphatic drainage, and promote healing. I believe that massage is relaxing and beneficial, so I like being able to do gentle massage on myself. If you want a high-end gua sha tool, this is a nice one.

the brand packaging is not sufficient to keep the stone secure. it arrived badly broken.

This Gua Sha tool came in a simple box but the actual product is so pretty in light orange color. The design is great as it’s so easy to hold and use and it’s so well designed to form the face to a better shape. The tool is not heavy so you can have it in your purse or when you travel but the key to use it is to apply face oil or serum before using the tool on the skin.
