If you haven’t already noticed, there’s a huge hype around skincare tools, also known as at-home beauty devices. They undoubtedly make your skincare routine more exciting and interesting! If you love taking care of your skin, you’re probably thinking about incorporating one or more of these into your daily routine, but with so many options, how do you distinguish the truly effective ones from those that are simply following trends? As an esthetician with over 30 years of experience in skincare, I will guide you through the skincare tools that are worth your investment and how they can benefit your skin.
Let’s divide them into 6 categories:
- Gua Sha & Jade Rollers
These traditional beauty tools have roots in ancient Chinese medicine. Gua Sha is a flat, smooth stone designed for a special skin massage, promoting lymphatic drainage and muscle toning. It can be made from various precious stones, such as jade and rose quartz. Jade is believed to have balancing properties, while rose quartz is known for its calming energy and its ability to boost blood circulation.
Similarly, the jade roller has two rollers of different sizes that glide over the skin, offering a relaxing and cooling massage.
How They Work: Gua sha is applied with gentle movements on the skin to release tension and enhance microcirculation. Jade rollers are applied with upward and circular motions to reduce puffiness and relax facial muscles.
Main Benefits:
- Stimulate lymphatic drainage and reduce toxins
- Enhance blood circulation, giving a natural glow
- Relieve tension and contribute to the reduction of fine lines
- Ideal For: Those who want to reduce puffiness, tone the skin and enjoy a relaxing treatment experience.
