Minēra is the very first porcelain gua sha made in Canada. Sculpted by hand in Quebec in the Limoges tradition, it is made from a 100% natural blend of kaolin, quartz and feldspar. It provides a gentle massage for the face and neck, improving circulation, relieving tension and giving the skin a natural radiance.

MINĒRA was created for everyone, regardless of age, gender, skin type, personality, lifestyle, or level of discipline. It is an accessible, minimalist, and sustainable self-care tool that combines the power of minerals and the wisdom of the body to reveal your natural and unique beauty.

The benefits of gua sha facial therapy have been demonstrated by Traditional Chinese Medicine for nearly a millennium. Minēra’s ambassador, Audrey Chen Lafitte, and the team of skin specialists from Beauties Lab use Minēra daily as a technique for beautifying the skin, holistic health and a self-care ritual.

Pro tip

To maximize the benefits, stimulate relaxation, and reduce inflammation, place the porcelain tool in the refrigerator for a few minutes or run it under cold water. The cold will further stimulate blood circulation, the expulsion of toxins, and the production of collagen.
