Facial massage ritual.
Ío Elixir · 25 ml + Gua Sha
THE OIL. THE STONE. YOUR TIME.
The stone waits beside the bottle. A few drops between your hands awaken the scent of geranium, orange, and lemon.
Ío nourishes, softens, and helps maintain hydration. The gua sha accompanies its application through a delicate massage, following the contours of the face.
Two elements brought together to turn facial care into a practice of your own. To enjoy soft, luminous skin, learn a different rhythm of touch, and set aside a few minutes for yourself.
BOTANICALS FOR THE SKIN.
ELIXIR · ÍO
Our signature facial oil combines avocado and rosehip with essential oils of geranium, orange, and lemon.
The plant-based base provides emollience and flexibility, softens rough texture, and provides the necessary glide to work with the gua sha without pulling the skin.
A vegan formula with an oily texture, dispensed drop by drop. Its floral and citrus aroma comes from its ingredients, with no added fragrance.
A WAY TO TRAVERSE THE FACE.
GUA SHA
A massage tool that allows you to follow the jawline and cheeks with slow movements and light pressure.
On skin prepared with Ío, its surface glides and helps distribute the oil. Your hand guides the path and regulates the contact.
The value of the gesture lies in its delicacy: getting to know the contours, observing how the skin responds, and dedicating attention to each movement.
A RITUAL WITH INTENTION.
You can find a place for it before meditating, after finishing a movement practice, or in the intimacy of your nighttime routine.
Choose a word you want to hold onto during those minutes. Let it accompany the massage like a personal mantra.
Geranium evokes the leaf and the flower. The citrus notes bring the scent of a freshly opened fruit. Skincare thus finds a sensory and contemplative expression, characteristic of Smell the Planet.
HOW TO PERFORM IT.
With a clean face and tool, apply your usual mist or water-based serum. Distribute a few drops of Ío over your face and neck, using enough so that the gua sha glides comfortably.
Hold the tool almost flat against the skin. Perform gentle movements from the center of the face outward, following the cheeks and jawline. Support the skin with your free hand and avoid pressing, scraping, or lingering on irritated areas or lesions.
When finished, clean and dry the tool. The oil remains on the skin; do not rinse.
