Gua Sha — Ancient Chinese beauty tool for a naturally contoured face

“It’s good for a nice lymphatic draining face massage, and it depuffs! It’s also just a few bucks, so there’s literally nothing to lose” —  Jowell, Partnerships Manager

“I recommend stainless steel gua shas over crystal ones, because I drop things all the time, and the metal won’t break. The crystal one also had more of a pointed edge rather than curved, so it felt a bit rougher” — Megan, Digital Marketing Coordinator

A Sassy fave (two of our team members swear by it!), the gua sha is the ancient-meets-modern beauty tool every Hong Kong skincare lover needs. Loved for its ability to boost circulation, reduce puffiness and sculpt facial contours, this device turns your daily routine into a relaxing at-home facial massage.

Medicube Age-R Booster Pro — Korean skincare tech for smooth and hydrated skin

“I don’t notice a huge difference before and after using it, but I love it! The air shot mode feels like a nice exfoliation (you can smell a burning scent because of your skin fuzz, and I can see my pores tighten, so it’s a nice add-on before masking!) It’s roughly equal to one facial session, so I think Medicube is much more worthwhile than a traditional facial!” — Jowell, Partnerships Manager

A K-beauty sensation straight from the land of glass skin (and beauty routines of multiple Sassy members!), the Medicube Age-R Booster Pro is the sleek skincare gadget Hong Kong can’t stop talking about. Using gentle microcurrent tech and four targeted modes (Air Shot, Booster, Microcurrent and Dermashot), it helps lift skin, shrink pores and boost hydration!
