JALO is the crown jewel of the Yin Your Skin tool collection. A gorgeous piece of bian stone, is suitable for everyone but designed especially for professionals and demanding users aiming for premium effects.
Is a bit bigger and heavier than the other tools and invites you to a variety of advanced techniques.
The serrated edge gives a unique boost for treating the wrinkles and helps you to effectively release blockages and tension in the connective tissue. The thinned lines are efficient for treating the saggy skin. Opposite to the useful U-notch, the hook-shaped end fits perfectly to areas behind and in front of the ear, around eyes and the nasolabials.
NOTE
In Finnish, JALO means qualities such as graceful, fine, noble and elite. A stone embodying these qualities is a real ‘jalokivi’ – a precious gemstone and a piece of everlasting natural beauty. A companion for life.
