NIVA spoon is the most effective tool for activating lymph circulation and reducing puffiness. By small, pumping, wave-like motions, it encourages fluids into motion. It is tool number one for sensitive skin and the skin around the eyes, allowing a very gentle yet effective treatment. The side of the spoon is great for scraping wrinkles. The thin end brings an extra boost to treating sagging skin and scalp, and the other end is perfect for targeting acupuncture points.
In Finnish, NIVA is a word describing an arctic river with a wild, powerful stream. These pure and crystalline waters are always in free motion. Running and circulating, washing away any blockages with ease.
*NIVA spoon is part of Yin Your Skin® holistic beauty concept by Katja Kokko. Treasuring the millennia-old Gua Sha self-care tradition, NIVA Yin Your Skin® tool is made of 100 % Xiuyan-jade 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
