    Necessity

    My esthetician gives me facials frequently for my dry skin. My face use to be red for a week from all the extractions. However, as soon as I implemented this in to my routine. It was game changing. My skin healed faster and it was less red. I would recommend. Especially because it’s non-comedogenic!

    I keep buying this because it works so well with their gua sha. I also have sensitive skin and it doesn’t irritate it :)!

    THE SCIENCE BEHIND THE RITUAL

    Why It Works

    Mount Lai tools are designed to work on the lymphatic system, address adhesions in the fascia and melt tension in the facial and jaw muscles, promoting a radiant complexion + combatting fine lines and wrinkles.

    01 / Why is lymphatic drainage important? The lymphatic system is a part of the immune system that helps the body get rid of toxins and waste. ...

    02 / The benefits of lymphatic drainage are two-fold. Lymphatic drainage removes toxic and congestive substances from the tissues, which allows greater absorption of nutrients. ...

    03 / Why is using a tool better than using your hands? The beauty of Mount Lai tools is that they work on the skin without pulling. As a result, the tool is able to work on the very surface level of the skin to target the lymph system and fascia that you wouldn’t be able to target with your hands. ...
