THE SCIENCE BEHIND THE RITUAL

Why it works

Mount Lai tools combine ancient techniques with modern science to rejuvenate your skin by stimulating the lymphatic system. This network helps clear toxins and waste, but when it’s congested, it can lead to dullness and puffiness. Our tools gently promote lymphatic drainage, releasing impurities and enhancing nutrient absorption. Unlike hands, they glide effortlessly across the skin, targeting deep tension and fascia adhesions, leaving you with a smoother, radiant complexion and reduced fine lines. It’s more than skincare—it’s a revitalizing ritual for inner and outer beauty.

The Black Obsidian Facial Spa Set

A western medicine & bodywork framework take on using the Gua sha tools and practice

I understand and respect that the cultural framework of Gua sha is a very different lens from my own. I can appreciate it, but can only give a thorough review from my own perspective: I received most of my education in the western medicine and western bodywork frameworks and incorporate other lenses but mostly stick with that.

Very smooth handling tools - nicely finished edges. I've tried quartz, stainless steel and obsidian tools now and did find that the volcanic glass warmed faster and stayed warmer (without pre-warming) than the others. I also felt the surface has a bit more resistance/grab and felt like it subtly lifted the skin more than the quartz tools - and so the whole massage process felt different. There are definitely subtle improvements to my appearance beyond what was getting with manual massage, I have less sinus pain, my TMJ issues which were caused by tension have reduced and it has contributed to lowering my stress as the practice is intentional, rather meditational, and neurologically relaxing your muscles has an upstream effect on your brain. All good things!

I like using gently pre-warmed obsidian lifting and rolling tools for the strokes along the nasal passages (initially), jaw, neck and base of the skull which effect a lot of lymphatic drainage. I like using chilled quartz or stainless tools to finish over my sinuses and around my eyes for the vasoconstriction/de-puffing effect. I also use the tools on other parts of my body for self-massage. I plan to swap out my lesser--quality quartz tools for some Mt. Lai versions soon.

Nice little set

I'm enjoying this set. I found that I love obsidian, it is very warming, and it's so nice to have the two tools together.

Immediately helps puffiness

I see results so quickly in the puffiness of my face when I use this! Very happy with my purchase (I got the obsidian set)
