We have had our eyes on these for a while now! We have been tranfixed by all the social media videos of people using these and we love ours! They help aid lymphatic drainage and help reduce bloating & puffiness caused by fluid under the skin. UpCircle recommend using it alongside their facial serum (as an oil) or peptide serum for best results. It's made from stainless steel.

It helps to stimulate circulation, produce collagen and brightens your complexion. It will also aid in decreasing inflammation and tightness, softening fine lines and reducing the appearance of dark circles. Also (!) it will help strengthen facial muscles.

So how does it work? Lightly sweep the gua sha from your chin to jawline. Use gentle pressure and even strokes - move towards the ears and then down the neck. Repeat. There are some great videos out there and Sophie will release one soon, too!

Zao’s Aloe Vera Mascara delivers intense definition, volume and durability with its clever structured lash-by-lash brush wand. Its nourishing formula cares for your lashes with organic aloe vera, castor oil and shea butter whilst coating your lashes from root to tip with intense colour. Perfect for evening wear, this mascara will gives your lashes va-va-voom!

Our Volume & Sheathing Mascara has a thinner formula that is great for separating lashes, whereas the formula for the Aloe Mascara is thicker in comparison. Those with watery eyes are advised to choose the Aloe Mascara over the Volume & Sheathing Mascara due to the thicker formula. 

Formulated without synthetic preservatives and with high quality raw materials, this mascara reduces the risk of redness and irritation to your eyes. Suitable for regular use and sensitive eyes. Our mascaras are now refillable to reduce waste.

Packaged in a unique, varnished bamboo case and attractively presented in a bamboo pouch with drawstring, Zao makeup is both a beautiful gift and an item to treasure.

A wand is included with all refills due to hygiene regulations, but please note that a lot of wildlife charities will take old mascara wands as they are extremely useful for removing things such as fly eggs and larva from the fur and feathers of animals.

Ingredients highlight:

Organic aloe vera gel: Known for its soothing virtues, organic aloe vera gel repairs and soothes the contours of the most delicate eyes.

Organic acacia gum: Acacia gum or gum arabic is derived from the resin secreted by the Acacia Senegal tree. Used as an adhesive agent, it improves the hold of Zao mascaras.

Organic carnauba wax: Secreted by the leaves of a palm tree native to Brazil, this wax is a film-forming agent that protects skin through the production of a continuous film and thus improves makeup durability.

Instructions for use: Start with the upper lashes, holding the brush horizontally close to the root, move up in a zigzag motion while you are looking down. Concentrate on the ends to enlarge the eye and on the centre to open up the eyes. Gently tap the eye lashes when applying mascara to the lower lashes, ensuring that you don’t overload them.

Zao beauty tip: Mascara is the key item in your beauty kit, just a touch of mascara can work wonders! Some tips for a quick and easy beauty routine: before you put on mascara, always make sure your eyelashes are dry and free of cream or oil, then dust them with powder. This preparation will ensure your mascara won’t smudge and will last even longer. Open the mascara gently and in one movement. Avoid pumping to keep the product on the brush, but make sure that you do not overload it. If so, gently remove any excess with a tissue and not at the opening of the bottle. If you have a few drops of mascara on your skin after you’ve applied it, wait until it is dry, then gently wipe it off with a cotton swab. If you are already wearing foundation, you can also dab a little on the cotton swab before removing the mascara to ensure your complexion remains even.

Packaged in a stylish, varnished bamboo case that is durable and sustainable,?the product is presented in a bamboo pouch with drawstring to protect the bamboo packaging.

Ingredients highlight:

Organic aloe vera juice (Aloe barbadensis leaf juice): The aloe vera plant has been renowned as a natural medicine for centuries, treating conjunctivitis and other eye allergies. Known for its soothing properties, organic aloe vera juice nourishes the delicate eye area.

Organic bamboo water (Bambusa vulgaris leaf extract): Produced by distilling bamboo leaves, it moisturises and soothes the delicate eye area.

Organic acacia gum (Acacia senegal gum): Acacia gum or Arabic gum, derived from the acacia senegal tree, is used as a bonding agent to boost the eyeliner’s staying power.

Organic shea butter (Butyrospermum parkii (shea) butter): Shea butter is an extract from the fruit of the shea tree, which grows only in west Africa. It nourishes and moisturises due to its high content of fatty acids. It is used to expedite wound healing, is protective against UV rays, whilst soothing and calming skin.

Instructions for use: Shake prior to use. The thickness of the line depends on the amount of pressure you apply. So, for a thin line, press the brush lightly; for a thicker line, apply slightly more pressure. On the upper eyelid, paint the line on the closed eyelid close to the roots of your eyelashes. Start from the inner corner and move towards the outer corner of the eye.

Zao beauty tip: To get to the roots of your lashes more easily, close your eye lid and gently pull the skin up at your eyebrow. To get a perfect line, start at the centre of the eye lid and draw the line outwards to either side. Then draw from the ends to the centre of the lid to complete the line. Thin lines are recommended for small eyes. The thicker the line, the more of the eye lid is covered, making the eye look even smaller.
