Just when we thought the hype around trendy skincare tools was slowly hushing down, the coveted jade roller stepped aside for its not-so-distant cousin to have its moment in the spotlight. Popping up all over spas and beauty counters this season are Gua Sha tools.
Serving more than just a pretty prop for top-shelf Instagram flat lays, these carved stones, often made from jade and rose quartz, derive from traditional Chinese medicine with the initial purpose of stimulating blood flow to relieve migraines and neck pains. Delivering legitimate skin benefits such as lymphatic drainage, these days, Gua Sha tools are considered as a viable needle-free alternative to diminishing visible signs of ageing.
These lifting and de-puffing tools are to be pressed on the face in gentle, upward strokes, and unlike the jade rollers, the grooves and curves on gua sha tools allow you to focus and apply more pressure around the under-eye area (with caution, of course).
While experts recommend trusting a professional to perform a Gua Sha treatment for you, you don’t need to book an appointment at a high-end spa to get on this trending tool. To help you hop on the Gua Sha bandwagon, here, we’ve included ones you can buy on Amazon for as low as $3. This anti-ageing tools also don’t break the bank — another reason why you should try it!
