In skincare, tools boost your skin. Jade rollers and gua sha grow in fame. They come from natural stone. They are pretty and work hard for clear skin. This guide shows you how to use them. Advice comes from Natalie at Eminence Organics.
Understanding Your Tools
What Are Jade Rollers and Gua Sha?
Jade rollers and gua sha come in two forms. They are made from jade or rose quartz. They work on your skin to move blood and smooth it. Each tool works in a different way.
- Jade Roller: The roller is light. It works on lymph drainage. It cuts puffiness and is a great finish when you add moisturizer or oil.
- Gua Sha: This tool gives extra work. It helps firm the skin and ease tight spots on the face. It uses steady pressure to shape your skin.
Proper Preparation
Before you start, get your skin and tools ready. Follow these steps:
- Clean: Wash your hands, face, and tools. This stops skin troubles.
- Cool: Place your tools in the fridge. The cool feel cuts puffiness and calms the skin.
- Oil: Pick a good facial oil to help the tool glide. Try these three oils from Eminence:
- Facial Recovery Oil – good for sensitive skin.
- Rosehip Triple C+E Firming Oil – fits mixed skin.
- Camellia Glow Solid Facial Oil – works well on dry skin.
Step-by-Step Techniques
Using the Jade Roller
- Neck: Start at your neck. Roll upward to your jaw. This moves blood and drains the area.
- Cheeks: Use the large side on your cheeks. Roll from your face toward your ears.
- Forehead: Roll on your forehead. Sweep from the center to the sides.
Mastering the Gua Sha
- Neck and Jaw: Hold the tool flat on your skin. Make smooth upward strokes from your neck.
- Tension: Use the curved side to press on your jaw and cheeks. Give a light press where you feel tightness.
- Under Eye: Use the small end along your eye bone. Roll gently from the eye to the temple.
- Forehead: Use the flat, curved side on your forehead. Roll upward to lift and calm the skin.
Final Thoughts
Using jade rollers and gua sha turns care into a calm time for yourself. It relaxes your face and moves blood well. Your skin grows a clear look. Keep your tools clean, use oil, and press lightly as you roll. Enjoy your new self-care routine!
