Basalt Facial Stones

Used either hot or cold, these small smooth basalt stones are perfect for facial work. They can be used for direct pressure or to protect the therapist's hands. Hot stone massage is not only relaxing, but also has many healing properties. The use of hot stones allows a therapist to give a deep, penetrating massage without putting excessive stress on his or her own body. Additionally, the stones will heat the skin, open the pores and prepare the skin to better absorb massage oils. As a result, they increase the benefits any given oil will provide. The use of massage stones also provides a way to increase circulation in and around the area being massaged. Increased blood flow helps clear out toxins and assist in healing an injured or strained area. Basalt is the ideal material for hot stone massage. These stones are made with volcanic rock, which has high silica and iron content that allow them to hold heat longer than most stones.
