Summary
SKIN U Innocent Body Oil and Gua Sha were created to enhance skin elasticity and hydration.
Offering smooth skin while leaving a subtle musk scent on the skin, the body oil combined with
the excellent grip and comfortable massage of the Gua Sha transforms routine skincare into an
extraordinary experience.
Design Concept
The first body oil and Gua Sha presented by Skin began with a meticulous analysis of the customer’s skincare
experience. To ease of application during massages a-type container was chosen. The transparent brown bottle
not only of the oil when not in use but also exudes an elegant yet serene feel, reminiscent of lingering
scent. Since the design of the Gua Sha massage tool prioritizes practical functionality over aesthetic
elements we began by closely observing customer usage patterns to define the critical features.
Collaboration with BANYAN TREE
We had the opportunity to deeply learn about massages using Gua Sha through collaboration with Banyan Tree.
Through this collaboration, we developed a special Gua Sha structure with a lower section designed to care
forensed muscles and sides that assist in spot care. This was created with the expert advice from Banyan
Tree professionals. Detailed information on the Gua Sha massage method, which effectively shapes the
body silhouette, can be on the SKIN U Gua Sha product page.
Design Story
To find the optimal grip for the guasha tool, we created various prototypes and conducted numerous tests.
Through internal customer tests and multiple experiments, we discovered that using the guasha tool with
oil leads to decreased grip due to slipper, resulting in discomfort. We believed that a new structure
was necessary to reduce this inconvenience and provide the most satisfying massage experience.
After several experiments, we finally perfected a guasha structure that delivers optimal massage
pressure with minimal effort.
