At Shoreline Glow, I believe self-care is more than surface deep, it’s a ritual, a rhythm, a return. And in this sacred return, the tools we choose matter. Among the most intriguing tools gracing my shelves is the terahertz face tool, a sleek, thermally conductive stone designed not only for beauty, but for balance.
Whether you’re navigating breakouts, inflammation, dullness, or just craving a moment of grounding connection with your skin, these tools offer a powerful way to weave intention into your skincare.
But the question arises:
Can you use tools like this if you have acne?
The answer is: Yes; thoughtfully, and with care.
What Is Terahertz?
Terahertz (THz) refers to a frequency that vibrates around 1 trillion times per second, a fascinating area of study in the realms of physics and quantum science. In medical and technological applications, THz waves are used for imaging, detection, and even cellular research.
The terahertz tools used in skincare, however, are made from a man-made stone designed with high thermal conductivity, meaning they can hold cold or heat beautifully, allowing you to use them for thermal treatments. While these tools don’t emit active terahertz radiation, the name reflects their inspired origin and energetic symbolism.
And while the quantum frequency aspect may live in theory, the results you’ll feel on your skin are very real.
Why Acne-Prone Skin Can Benefit
Acne-prone skin is often overwhelmed, inflamed, congested, and sensitive to disruption. That’s why terahertz tools, used properly, can become an essential part of calming the chaos.
Here’s how they help:
Cooling therapy: When chilled, the tools help calm inflammation and reduce redness around blemishes or cystic breakouts. For cystic acne, using real ice is reccomended but in a pinch using this tool is less messy if you are on the run.
Support for PIH (Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation): Consistent cooling can minimize the lingering pigment marks often left behind by acne.
Lymphatic drainage support: Used around (but not on) active breakouts, terahertz tools help move stagnant fluid and toxins, gently encouraging clarity.
Energetic grounding: Many clients find the ritual itself reduces stress, which plays a huge role in breakouts and skin imbalance.
How to Use Terahertz Tools for Acne-Supportive Skincare
For Cooling Inflammation:
Place the tool in a bowl of ice or cold water for 10–20 seconds.
Gently press or glide the cooled stone near inflamed areas (but avoid direct movement over open pimples).
Repeat for 5–10 minutes as needed. If the stone warms, re-cool and continue.
💡 Pro Tip: When you feel a cystic blemish brewing under the skin, use this method morning and night. Many clients find the blemish never fully surfaces or, if it does, it forms a gentle whitehead that’s easier to extract without scarring.
Gua Sha, But Make It Mindful
If you practice Gua Sha (or want to learn), terahertz tools are an elegant entry point. Their glide, weight, and thermal capacity make them ideal for facial massage but when acne is present, less is more.
Avoid gliding over active, painful breakouts.
Instead, work on the jawline, neck, and around the ears to activate lymph drainage.
This technique reduces puffiness, increases circulation, and helps clear congestion at the root.

Terahertz: Not Just for Acne
Don’t let the acne talk fool you, these tools are for everyone. You can use them:
Warm (run under hot water) to soften fascia, melt tension, and encourage collagen flow
Cool (with ice) to depuff, calm redness, and boost circulation
Daily as a moment of mindfulness in your morning or evening ritual
Their versatility makes them a must-have for clients with sensitive skin, rosacea, menopausal changes, or simply a desire to infuse their skincare with deeper meaning.
Bringing the Ritual Home
Here’s how to create your own moment of beauty and balance:
Start with clean skin
Apply your favorite facial oil or serum (My go to is the Youth Activating Oil Balm by O'Cosmedics.
Warm or chill your terahertz tool depending on your skin’s needs and for an uninterrupted ritual, I always recommend having two on hand: one in use, while the other stays perfectly warm or cool, ready for the next pass.
Begin with gentle strokes; working outward and downward to support natural drainage
Focus on areas of tension, inflammation, or puffiness
Breathe deeply. This isn’t just skincare, it’s self-care.
💡 Bonus Tip 1: For added energetic alignment, hold the tool to your third eye or heart chakra for a moment of stillness. Terahertz is believed to resonate with cellular communication and may assist in quieting the nervous system, think of it as a skincare-meets-energy-healing moment.
💡 Bonus Tip 2: Keep your tool in the fridge during summer months for an instant cooling pick-me-up during your morning routine.

Please Note: Please handle your terahertz tool with care. While it may feel smooth and solid in your hand, it is still a stone and like all stone-based beauty tools, it can chip or break if dropped. To protect its integrity and extend its life, I recommend using it over a soft surface (like a towel) during your ritual and storing it safely when not in use. This beautiful tool is designed to support your self-care for years to come when treated with gentle hands and intention.
