WHAT EXACTLY ARE GUA SHA AND FACIAL ROLLER TOOLS?

First things first, it’s important to know exactly what these skincare tools are. 

Gua sha and Facial Roller tools assist with massaging and de-puffing the face. So, they’re basically your new best friend. 

While these tools might be new to you, they have been a part of Chinese skin care routines since the 7th Century - so they really have proven their results over the years.

For those of us who wake up with a puffy face, or if you’re just wanting some R&R, these tools are a lifesaver and can get rid of that puff quickly. Just firmly, but gently glide them over your face, and you’re good to go!

While Gua Sha and Facial Roller tools both assist with massaging and de-puffing the face, each tool comes with its own distinct set of benefits. So, let’s break down the specific benefits of each one.

BENEFITS OF A GUA SHA TOOL

Releases tension

One of the biggest benefits of a Gua Sha tool is that it assists with releasing tension in the face and neck, which helps get rid of associated pain points like a headache or a sore, tense jaw.

Contours the face.

Want your cheekbones to pop? The Gua Sha has got you covered! A Gua Sha facial uses strokes that create pressure and lift at the same time. The tool has different shaped edges to fit around the different parts of your face which, combined with the Gua Sha facial technique, are designed to sculpt and contour the face.

Assists with facial lymphatic drainage.

Does the skin on your face look dull, tired and puffy? It might be because fluid has started to build up in your lymphatic system. The light pressure and upward and outward motion applied when using a Gua Sha tool helps with lymphatic drainage, reducing puffiness and improving appearance of the skin overall.

Supports blood circulation.

You might notice your skin gets slightly flushed when using a Gua Sha tool. This is a sign of healthy blood flow to the skin. Increasing blood flow helps nourish skin cells as blood carries nutrients and oxygen to cells in your body. The end result is happy healthy skin!

Skincare product penetration

You’ll want to use your Gua Sha tool with a facial cream or oil. This has two benefits:

      1.It helps your Gua Sha to glide smoothly across your face.

      2. It helps your skin to soak up the products nicely thanks to the gentle pressure you apply to your Gua Sha tool.

It’s relaxing.

A Gua Sha facial massage is so relaxing! We like to spend at least 5 minutes using a Gua Sha tool all over our face, and recommend using your Gua Sha tool on fresh, clean skin after your evening shower or face wash. It’s the perfect way to end your day!

BENEFITS OF A FACIAL ROLLER

Cooling and calming

Our Facial Rollers (and Gua Sha tools) are made with 100% genuine stone or crystal which have a natural ability to keep cool. 

Using a Facial Roller all over your face first thing in the morning as you have your morning coffee is beyond soothing (and helps get rid of that morning puff, especially under the eyes). 

For an extra cooling effect, pop your roller in the fridge overnight.

Assists with facial lymphatic drainage

Just like a Gua Sha, a Facial Roller assists with lymphatic drainage and helps to de-puff your face. Be sure to apply a light pressure when using your tool so your skin can reap the benefits.

Skincare product penetration

Applying a light pressure when using your Facial Roller helps your skincare products to soak into the skin. So be sure to pop a hydro jelly mask, a serum, or an oil on your face before rolling away.

Our pro-tip is to use your Facial Roller when you’re wearing a hydro jelly mask. Your face will get a nice massage while soaking up the product from your mask - hello glowing skin!

It’s easy to use, and super relaxing!

If you're new to the skincare facial tool game, a Facial Roller will help you to ease into it. 

Facial rollers are also great if you’re short on time. Just a quick 1-2 minute roll all over your face will have your skin looking and feeling great. 

It’s simple and straightforward to use and because it massages your skin, it’s so relaxing and adds a whole new level to your self care routine.
