VEIL is made to move with you. Use 2–8 drops depending on your hair type and how you’re using it—on roots as a scalp oiling ritual, through wet or damp lengths before styling, on dry ends for daily protection, or before sun, sweat, sauna, and hot yoga. A little goes a long way.

Both.
On wet or damp hair, smooth a few drops through mid-lengths and ends before blow-drying or styling for an added layer of protection, while helping soften, smooth, and reduce frizz.
On dry hair, focus on the ends to smooth frizz, add softness and shine, and help reduce the wear and friction that can contribute to split ends and breakage.
Start with 1–2 drops and add more as needed.

When I was purchasing my VEIL OIL, I saw the Gua Sha and decided to give it a try. I had honestly never used one before and thought all the Gua Sha videos on TikTok and Instagram were kind of BS ;-), but after only a few uses, I get it! I can actually see a difference in how it depuffs my face and I even feel like it’s helping define my jawline!
The stone has such a nice weight to it and feels amazing. I love that it’s a natural stone that comes from the earth. I use it in the sauna on my face (which feels amazing because the stone gets warm) and after workouts on my arms and legs when they are tight. It’s quickly become one of my favorite rituals. Such a cool multi-use tool to have on hand.
If you’re like me and have only used cheap plastic gua shas, this luxury stone is an absolute game changer! I actually notice a difference in my face and jawline after using this for lymphatic drainage massages, and it doesn’t leave my skin irritated. I’m collecting STOA artifacts like pokémon lol, they’re seriously the best quality!
I use the Bian Stone Gua Sha to massage sore muscles after my workouts, and it’s incredible. I use it with VEIL to help it glide over my skin, and together they help work out knots and loosen tight tissue within minutes. I didn’t expect to use it as much as I do, but it has quickly become one of my favorite recovery tools.
This has quickly become one of my favorite little rituals. The weight of the Bian stone feels so grounding, and it glides beautifully across my skin. The stone feels cool and substantial, and I love using it around my jaw, cheekbones, and neck. My face looks more refreshed afterward, but honestly, the tension relief is what keeps me reaching for it. I also noticed that the lines on my neck are slightly less visible.
This is hands down the best gua she I have ever had! I love how it has different sides and textures so you can use it in different places on your body!
It’s perfect, looks and feels amazing.
The STOA Bian Gua Sha is truly exceptional. Its unique shape feels comfortable in the hand and makes it easy to follow the natural contours of my face and neck. When paired with the Veil Oil, it glides beautifully across the skin and creates such a relaxing, spa-like experience. My face feels refreshed, less puffy, and noticeably more sculpted afterward. The quality and craftsmanship are outstanding—it has quickly become an essential part of my skincare routine.
This is the best Gua Sha I’ve ever used!!! And it’s beautiful.
I’ve been loving the STŌA Bian Stone Gua Sha. It has such a grounding, intentional feel to it and turns a few minutes of skincare into something that feels more like a reset. The stone itself feels substantial and beautifully made, and I love the ritual of using it at the end of a long day.
What makes STŌA stand out to me is the philosophy behind the brand. The products are beautiful, but there’s also this deeper idea of staying composed, caring for yourself, and creating space to come back to center. That meaning is what makes this feel like more than just another beauty tool.
I love this Bian Stone Gua Sha. It feels beautiful in my hand, has a really substantial, high-quality feel, and has quickly become one of those little rituals I genuinely look forward to. I love using it to slow down, release tension, and take a few minutes to care for myself instead of rushing through everything.
What I love most about STŌA is that the products feel like they have meaning behind them. It isn’t just about skincare or beauty — it’s about creating small moments of composure and self-care in the middle of a busy life. The story and intention behind the brand make using this feel even more special. Beautiful product, beautiful purpose, and something I’m very happy to have in my routine.
