The ritual
Slow down
Five minutes, three passes.
Release mental tension and screen-time stress.
Place the two rounded 'snail tips' between the inner corner of the eyes and glide upward 3–5 times.
This area is often used to ease tension in the eyes and soften the effects of staring at screens all day.
Gently define the contours of the face.
Glide the comb upward along the natural contours of the face, moving from the center outward.
These lifting movements help ease built-up tension and encourage circulation, which can bring a more softly defined look to the face over time.
Calm your mind through the scalp.
Place the comb at the top of your head and move in a slow zigzag pattern across your scalp.
In traditional Chinese practice, the crown of the head is where many meridians meet. Combing helps stimulate these points, encourage circulation, and ease built-up tension.

I was able to test the head and face massage brush from BuyGumi and I am absolutely thrilled! The quality is really high and the design looks beautifully aesthetic. But the best part: it simply works really well and feels wonderful. I am so glad I got to try it, and I would not want to be without it in my routine! 🤍

FAQ
Your questions, answered
Why is it called the snail comb?
For the shape of the comb that resembles a little snail, and for the slower pace it reminds you to take :)
How do I use the snail comb?
Use the rounded tip to gently massage areas where you carry tension: around the inner brows, temples, jaw, scalp, neck, or shoulders. Apply light to medium pressure and glide slowly for 2–5 minutes whenever you need a reset.
Many people enjoy incorporating it into their morning routine, during work breaks, or before bed.
Why sandalwood?
Sandalwood has been used in Chinese self-care traditions for generations. It feels warm and smooth against the skin, develops a beautiful natural patina over time, and is gentle on hair.
Unlike plastic, each comb has its own unique wood grain, making every piece one of a kind.
Can I use it every day?
Absolutely. In fact, many people enjoy using it daily.
Just a few minutes in the morning, after work, or before bed can become a small moment to slow down and reconnect with yourself.
Will it help with headaches or tension?
Many people use the snail comb to ease facial, scalp, and neck tension. While we can’t promise specific medical benefits, gentle massage may help promote relaxation and relieve muscle tightness.
Think of it as a simple daily wellness ritual rather than a medical treatment.
How do I care for a sandalwood comb?
Simply wipe it with a soft dry cloth after use.
Avoid soaking it in water or exposing it to excessive moisture. With proper care, the wood will naturally become even more beautiful over time.
Where does your comb come from?
Our products are carefully sourced directly from trusted partners in China.
As a Chinese-founded brand, we work closely with manufacturers and curate products we genuinely use ourselves, while sharing the cultural stories behind them.
Would this be suited as a gift?
Definitely. The snail comb is a thoughtful gift for anyone who appreciates wellness, intentional rituals, or beautifully crafted everyday objects.
Many customers gift it as a small reminder to slow down and take care of themselves.
