Physical Healing - Believed to alleviate pain and support recovery from shock, trauma and abuse.
Gua sha is a natural, alternative therapy that involves scraping / invigorating your skin with a massage tool to improve your circulation. This ancient Chinese healing technique may offer a unique approach to better health, addressing issues like chronic pain.
Use short or long strokes to stimulate microcirculation of the soft tissue, which increases blood flow. They make these strokes with the smooth-edged instrument known as a gua massage tool. Apply facial oil to your skin, and then use the tool to massage your skin.
Gua sha is intended to address stagnant energy, called chi, in the body that practitioners believe may be responsible for inflammation.
Inflammation is the underlying cause of several conditions associated with chronic pain. Rubbing the skin’s surface is thought to help break up this energy, reduce inflammation, and promote healing.
What does using a crystal roller do for your face?
The simple act of massaging your face with a face roller has a ton of benefits for the skin. It may even reduce stress and release tension, just like a body massage would.
Here are some key benefits:
Improves blood circulation in the face. Using a face roller can stimulate blood flow to the face, which can make your skin look brighter and feel firmer.
Helps with stuffy sinuses. Some studies suggest that using this tool may help clear the sinuses, though the research is still in the early stages.
Decreases puffiness. Rolling may also decrease puffiness (like hard-to-handle under eye bags) by stimulating lymphatic drainage.
Cools and soothes your skin. If you store your roller in the refrigerator or use a naturally cold stone like jade, it’ll cool the skin on contact. This can quickly de-puff your skin and tighten pores.
Distributes skincare product. Rollers are typically used with an oil or moisturiser to help the tool glide across your skin. It’s said this process can deliver product deeper into your skin.
Myths and facts about facial roller massage
There are many big claims about facial rollers.
Here we will talk about what’s actually true about facial massage, and what’s a myth about facial rollers.
Facial massage can improve your mood: True. It may seem weird, but facial massage reduces anxiety for some.
Using a roller can slim the face: False. The only way to truly slim down or lose weight from any part of your body, the face included, is through nutrition and exercise. However, the de-puffing potential of the facial roller may make your face look slimmer temporarily.
Using a roller can contour the face: True. The roller can be used to drain fluid from the face, which can help to contour your face temporarily. The best way to use the tool for draining and contouring is to roll up at an angle and then push the roller downward by the ear. The process helps direct excess fluid to the lymph nodes.
Toxins can be flushed from the body by using a roller: True. Any activity that stimulates lymphatic drainage, including massage or facial rolling, can be detoxifying for the body.
How to use a facial roller
Follow these steps when using a facial roller:
Apply a facial oil, serum, or moisturiser with lots of slip. If you don’t have lubrication, the tool can pull or tug the skin, which may actually contribute to wrinkles.
Start at the neck and roll upward. For best results, roll up, not back and forth.
Roll from the jawline to the ear on both sides using gentle pressure. You can continue this motion all the way from the jaw to the cheekbone.
Roll from the forehead up toward the temples, only in the upward direction. It’s the same gentle pull that you would use if you were using your hands to pull the skin taut and wrinkle-free.
Roll flat over your eyebrows horizontally, which may feel especially relieving if you have a headache.
How often should you use a face roller?
Face rollers are safe to use every day. In fact, some dermatologists recommend daily use for best results.
How long do you roll for?
Even if you only have a few minutes, you may still be able to get some of the de-stressing and de-puffing benefits.
