jade facial roller

The jade facial roller is a massage tool originally made of jade stone, hence its name. It is now available in different stones such as rose quartz or amethyst. This has two ends in the form of a roll of different sizes. It acts on the surface of the skin by providing a draining massage. By using it daily morning and evening, the roller will have the benefits of smoothing skin texture, reducing imperfections, reducing wrinkles and reducing swelling.

The gua sha

The gua sha is a fine stone massage tool such as jade, amethyst or rose quartz. This stone is flat and smooth in the shape of a heart to adapt to different facial lines. Originating in China, “gua sha” means “to scrape off disease”, so it is used to provide a deeper massage. By massaging your face 2 to 3 times a week (or more if you feel the need) with gua sha, you will notice a thinning of the oval of the face and redesigned cheekbones, a firmer and more luminous skin.
