Empress Wand

"A facial massage tool built by an acupuncturist. The meteor backstory is optional."
Our take

$59 Price at Wildling, checked Oct 2026.

The short answer

The Wildling Empress Wand is a facial massage tool made of Bian stone, designed to release tension in the face, jaw, neck and shoulders. At $59 it is worth it if you already like gua sha and want a tool refined by an acupuncturist and holistic esthetician. The relaxation and de-tensing come from the massage itself.

Our Take

Why it made the edit.

Why we love it: The shape is designed for jaw and neck tension, which is where a lot of people hold stress. A few minutes with it makes skincare feel like self-care.
Skip it if: You will not commit to a regular massage routine, since a tool in a drawer does nothing.
The catch: Bian stone is fragile if dropped, and the brand's claims about ultrasound pulses and far-infrared waves are not established skincare science.
