The Bedouin Elixir was born from generations of North African beauty ritual — but the science behind it is entirely modern. We dug into peer-reviewed clinical studies to show you exactly what the research says about the 15 oils inside your bottle. From argan oil's two human RCTs on skin elasticity and hydration, to prickly pear's clinical firming results, to sea buckthorn's double-blind trial — this is the evidence behind the elixir.
FacialGuaSha is an ancient Chinese healing technique that uses a pebble or stone to stimulate the skin (Gua – scraping), boost blood circulation (Sha – redness) and encourages skin to heal itself.
Scraping the skin (using jade or rose quartz stone) helps treat all sorts of ailments to promote clear skin, banish fine lines and wrinkles, and sculpt the face for a firmer look. In actual fact, in doing Gua Sha you create a very minor and controlled skin trauma (being the redness), which stimulates blood flow, new collagen production and while shifting puffiness.
