JALO is the crown jewel of the Yin Your Skin tool collection. A gorgeous piece of bian stone, JALO is suitable for everyone but designed especially for professionals and demanding users aiming for premium effects. JALO is a bit bigger and heavier than the other tools and invites you to a variety of advanced techniques.

The serrated edge gives a unique boost for treating the wrinkles and helps you to effectively release blockages and tension in the connective tissue. The thinned lines are efficient for treating the saggy skin. Opposite to the useful U-notch, the hook-shaped end fits perfectly to areas behind and in front of the ear, around eyes and the nasolabials.

In Finnish, JALO means qualities such as graceful, fine, noble and elite. A stone embodying these qualities is a real ‘jalokivi’ – a precious gemstone and a piece of everlasting natural beauty. A companion for life.

*JALO advanced tool is part of Yin Your Skin® holistic beauty concept by Katja Kokko. Treasuring the millennia-old Gua Sha self-care tradition, Yin Your Skin® JALO advanced tool is made of 100 % Sibin bian stone in China. Each piece is unique. Just like you.

As the tools are made from natural stone, each tool is unique and may vary in colour. Effects of a facial gua sha:

• boosts skin circulation–> oxidized blood travels up to the surface layers of the skin to nourish tissues and skin cells –> faster skin renewal
• invigorates lymph fluid circulation –> removes puffiness on the face and under the eyes
• brightens and ”opens up” the eyes
• can reduce impurities
• can fade pigment spots
• improves collagen and elastin production
• fades fine lines and wrinkles and tightens saggy tissue
• the features of the cheeks and jawline become more sculpted
• improves absorption of skincare products into skin

Gua sha is not recommended if you have:

• damaged or infected skin
• rosacea, acne or perioral dermatitis (areas of the afore-mentioned symptoms should be left untreated, but you can treat skin below and around. Treating the neck and décolletage is actually beneficial if you have acne or rosacea.)
• if fillers or Botox have been applied to the skin in the last three months

How To Use:
A lubricant is used in gua sha to make sure the tool glides smoothly on the skin – a high-quality skin oil works best. Do the gua sha at the end of your normal skin care regimen. Hydrate the skin with an essence or toner and apply oil. You can also use your regular serum and moisturizer before applying oil. Use a body oil when treating the body.

After use, clean the comb with soap and water and dry carefully. Disinfect the tool if treating someone else.
