Gua Sha & Face Roller Set

Gua Sha & Face Roller Set

Gua Sha Benefits:

1. Facial Contouring and Lifting: Gua Sha involves scraping the skin with a smooth-edged tool, typically made of jade or rose quartz. This technique is believed to promote lymphatic drainage and circulation, which can help reduce puffiness and promote a more sculpted appearance.
2. Brightening and Even Skin Tone: Regular use of Gua Sha is thought to stimulate microcirculation, which may lead to a brighter complexion and improved skin tone.
3. Reducing Tension and Relaxation: The gentle scraping motion of Gua Sha can help release muscle tension in the face and neck, promoting relaxation and potentially reducing the appearance of wrinkles caused by muscle tightness.
4. Enhanced Absorption of Skincare Products: By promoting blood circulation, Gua Sha can help enhance the absorption of skincare products, allowing them to penetrate deeper into the skin for better results.

How to Use:

1. Apply Skincare Product: Start with a clean face and apply a facial oil or serum to provide slip for the Gua Sha tool.
2. Technique: Hold the Gua Sha tool at a 15-45 degree angle to your skin. Start at the center of your face and gently scrape outward and upward along the contours of your face. Use gentle but firm pressure.
3. Areas to Target: Focus on areas prone to tension or puffiness, such as the jawline, cheeks, forehead, and under the eyes. Be careful around delicate areas like the eyes.
4. Repeat: Repeat each stroke 5-10 times on each area. It's important to be gentle and not overly aggressive to avoid bruising or irritating the skin.
5. Cleanse Tool: Cleanse your Gua Sha tool with soap and water after each use and store it in a dry place.

Face Roller Benefits:

1. Cooling and Depuffing: Face rollers, typically made of jade or rose quartz, have a cooling effect on the skin, which can help reduce puffiness and inflammation.
2. Enhanced Circulation: Rolling the face with a facial roller is believed to stimulate blood circulation, promoting a healthier glow and improved skin tone.
3. Lymphatic Drainage: Similar to Gua Sha, facial rollers can aid in lymphatic drainage, reducing fluid retention and toxins in the skin.
4. Relaxation and Stress Relief: The rolling motion can provide a soothing massage-like effect, promoting relaxation and potentially reducing facial tension.
5. Enhanced Absorption of Products: Using a facial roller after applying skincare products can help them penetrate deeper into the skin for better absorption and efficacy.

How to Use a Face Roller:

1. Prep Your Skin: Start with a clean face. Apply your favourite serum, oil, or moisturiser to provide slip for the face roller.
2. Technique: Begin rolling from the center of your face (nose area) outward and upward. Use gentle pressure as you roll the larger end of the roller along your cheeks, jawline, and forehead.
3. Under Eye Area: Use the smaller end of the roller to gently roll under the eyes, starting from the inner corners and moving outward.
4. Neck and Jawline: Roll along the jawline and down the sides of your neck to help with lymphatic drainage.
5. Repeat: Roll each area of your face 5-10 times, ensuring gentle but firm pressure. Avoid rolling over active acne or irritated skin.
6. Clean and Store: Clean your face roller with a gentle soap and water after each use. Store it in a dry place or in the refrigerator for a cooling effect before use.
