BENEFITS OF FACIAL ROLLERS & GUA SHAS:
-
Lymphatic Drainage. If you're feeling extra puffy or inflamed it could be due to a buildup of fluid. The facial roller and Gua Sha are designed to stimulate lymphatic drainage. This reduces the appearance of puffy skin.
-
Contour & Sculpt. With the correct motions and added pressure, it boosts circulation in your face which in turn aids in the production of collagen and improves elasticity in the skin.
-
Relieve Tension. Whether you are dealing with a tension headache, neck or back pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, tight muscles or tension in the jaw, adding pressure to these pain points, specifically with the Gua Sha, can help alleviate these symptoms.
-
Improve Blood Circulation. Massaging the skin with the facial roller or Gua Sha helps to promote blood circulation and aids in cell regeneration which leaves you with a healthy glow and improved skin tissues.
-
Product Stimulation. Applying pressure to the face with the roller or Gua Sha after applying your skincare products allows for better absorption.
THERE ARE OTHER NOTED BENEFITS TO USING FACIAL ROLLERS AND GUA SHAS, SUCH AS SOOTHING THE SKIN DUE TO ITS NATURALLY COOLING PROPERTIES.
