How To Use Gua Sha & Jade Roller
How To Use Gua Sha Tool:
STEP 1 - PREP YOUR SKIN
Grab your favourite moisturiser, serum or facial oil. Apply all over your face and the front, back and sides of your neck. This step is key to your gua sha effortlessly gliding on your skin - you want to avoid pulling your skin.
STEP 2 - YOUR NECK WILL THANK YOU FOR THIS STEP
Take the v shaped part of the gua sha and lightly sweep it up your neck. Start by placing it on your throat at the collar bone. Glide up towards the jawline. Repeat this step 3 -5 times, on the left and right side of your neck, and the back of your neck.
STEP 3 - SNATCH THAT JAW
Place the v shaped part of your gua sha tool at the bottom, middle part of your chin. Gently sweep your gua sha up and out along the jawline on the right side of your face. Repeat this motion 3 - 5 times, before doing the same thing on the left side of your face.
STEP 4 - CHEEKBONES ARE POPPING
Place the long side of the gua sha tool on your cheek. Starting from the centre of your face, glide the gua sha up along your cheek and cheekbone, and out towards your hairline. Repeat this motion 3 - 5 times, on both sides of your face.
STEP 5 - GIVE YOUR UNDER-EYES SOME LOVE
Lightly run the top curved part of the gua sha under your eye - from the inner corner and out towards the hairline. Be extra gentle here - your under skin is thin and you don’t want to tug it. Repeat this step 3 times, on each side of your face.
STEP 6 - DON’T FORGET YOUR FOREHEAD
Take the long side of the gua sha and work your gua sha from your brow bone up to the hairline. We usually do this in three sections, left, middle and right side of the forehead. Repeat this step 3 - 5 times per section.
How To Use Jade Facial Roller:
STEP 1 - PREP YOUR SKIN
Prep is key, always. Grab your favourite moisturiser, serum, facial oil or sheet mask (for an extra bougie experience)! Apply your skincare product on your face and neck. This step will help your skin reap the benefits of your skincare product - the jade roller is notorious for helping with product penetration.
STEP 2 - YOUR NECK IS THE PLACE TO START
Place the large barrel of the jade roller at the base of your neck. Gently, but firmly, roll the jade roller up your neck, taking it up and out at your jawline. Repeat this motion 3 - 5 times and work your way around your neck.
STEP 3 - WHERE THE JADE ROLLER MEETS THE FACE
Starting at the centre bottom part of your face, run the large barrel of the jade roller along your jawline. Be gentle, but firm and move upwards and outwards. Repeat this step 3 - 5 times on each side of your face. Once you’ve used your jade roller along your jawline, repeat the upward and outward motion on your cheeks and cheekbones, 3 - 5 times per section and on each side of your face.
STEP 4 - DON’T FORGET THE UNDEREYE AREA
Your puffy eyes will thank you for this step! Place the small barrel of the jade roller under your eye at the centre of your face. Run the jade roller along your under eye area in an upward and outward motion. As always, be gentle but firm, and repeat this step 3 - 5 times on both sides of your face.
STEP 5 - SHOW YOUR FOREHEAD SOME LOVE
Your forehead will be looking snatched, all thanks to the jade roller. Place the large barrel of your jade roller at the base of your forehead. Gently, but firmly, glide it up towards your hairline. Repeat this step 3 - 5 times, and on the left and right sides of your forehead. For some extra TLC, place the large barrel of your jade roller sideways in the middle of your forehead. Slowly roll your jade roller out towards your temple. Repeat 3 - 5 times.
