THE APPLICATOR — A SELF-CARE TOOL

Every award-winning AKT product is designed to be applied with ritual, a little performance that turns an everyday application into a stolen moment of indulgence — even if it’s only for a few minutes.

Enter The Applicator — our covetable golden wonder designed to elevate your application experience to a tension relieving ritual. 

Crafted from titanium-plated stainless steel, The Applicator is a self-care tool inspired by the ancient Chinese practice of Gua Sha, and can be used instead of fingers to apply The Deodorant Balm or The Everyday Encore Body Oil, for a deeper pre-show ritual.

WHY SELF MASSAGE?

Self-massage using The Applicator can be a simple, effective and fast way to help relieve the everyday tensions we hold in our bodies. Using long sweeping movements with shorter, more focussed strokes in areas that need more attention, can gently massage the muscles to help release tension and make you feel reenergised.

HOW TO AKT:

Step 1:

Using the long curved edge of The Applicator, place the tool at the centre of your chest. Applying slight pressure, gently stroke towards your underarm. Repeat this step on both sides 8-10 times.

Step 2:

Place the long curved edge of the tool against your inner arm by your elbow. Stroke 8-10 times towards your underarm. Repeat this on both arms.

Step 3:

Place the tool under your ear and gently stroke The Applicator down your neck 8-10 times to help relieve stress induced tension. Repeat this on both sides. 

5 MINUTES TO CALL TIME

Of course, the amount of intensity you put into it is up to you (do what you want, this isn’t a cult, but please don’t hurt yourself!), but we recommend spending five minutes during your morning or evening routine to feel the tension relieving benefits of the Gua Sha inspired massage. It might feel indulgent, but it’s worth it. And you deserve it, don’t you? (Yes, you do!)
