Identify the area you want to revive.

Hold skin taut with your index finger and thumb using your non-dominant hand.

With your dominant hand, hold the stone so the Comb Edge is on the skin long-ways. Begin “erasing,” using light pressure with a quick up and down motion.

FIELD NOTES

Flush it out.

During this challenge, water is your ally. Don’t forget to hydrate, hydrate, hydrate! We’ll keep reminding you. Drinking water helps to flush out anything that’s being moved (lymph, stored toxins, cellular waste, etc.), ultimately promoting clear and hydrated skin.

SELF-LOVE LETTERS

“The empress stone is my favorite!! The comb edge is my favorite for erasing lines on my face! My skin is loving it and the oil and tonic feel amazing on my skin and smell soooo good too!"
