READ REVIEWS

The Empress Stone is a facial gua sha tool designed to sculpt and reinvigorate the skin. Unlike other gua sha stones typically made from quartz, the Empress is composed of Bian stone, an amalgamate of 40+ minerals known for their healing properties. Each edge of the tool is intentionally architected to enhance the practice of facial gua sha, which is a traditional Chinese beauty practice.

Known for its rejuvenating properties, Bian stone was created when a meteor struck a mountain in ancient China. It is said to emit ultrasound pulsations, far infrared rays, and negative ions as a result of the cosmic impact — all of which are known for their antioxidant and anti-aging effects on cells and DNA.

We recommend protecting this stone with the Empress Pouch, this natural stone is fragile when dropped on a hard surface.

How It’s Made

At Wildling, pure and authentic medicinal crystals are carefully selected for their healing properties for the skin as well as their positive effects on the emotional body. This practice of "stone medicine" is an ancient Taoist healing technique.

White “veins” of various sizes may appear on the stone. These veins were formed as a result of the meteor striking the earth and are a sign of the Bian stone’s authenticity.

How to Use

THE EMPRESS FACIAL RITUAL SYSTEM

The Empress Ritual System

Practicing the facial gua sha Empress Ritual will clear, smooth, plump, tighten, and rejuvenate skin while reducing under-eye circles and puffiness.

Stage 1

STEP ONE:
EMPRESS TONIC

Hydrate

After cleansing, the Empress Tonic primes skin to absorb face oil. It's an essential step in activating the skin, preparing it for gua sha, and maximizing results. Plant wanters from nutrient-dense sweet fern, damask rose, and Douglas fir stimulate detoxification, promote lymphatic drainage, and hydrate to amplify your gua sha practice.

Stage 2

STEP TWO:
EMPRESS OIL

Activate

This powerful whole plant oil infusion elevates your gua sha ritual by boosting circulation, plumping, and toning the skin. Balm of Gilead and our Resin Nutrient Complex nourish skin and can help stimulate lymphatic flow. Using the Empress Oil in tandem with the Tonic and Stone is what makes our ritual—and results—different from the rest.

Stage 3

STEP THREE:
EMPRESS STONE

Lift & Tone

A multi-action tool custom crafted from Bian stone massages our whole plant actives into the skin while manipulating the tissues of the face more precisely than hands alone.

Delivery Process

GUA SHA METHOD

The facial gua sha method works by releasing tension in the muscles of the face, smoothing out the fascia, and circulating blood and lymph through the tissues.

It also delivers whole plant actives from our products into the deeper layers of the skin for increased absorption and effectiveness. The result is deeply hydrated, plump, toned, and sculpted skin with a radiant glow.
