The beauty industry is advancing in leaps and bounds to be able to offer treatments that respond to all the skin’s needs. This constant evolution has led to the emergence of new methods that go beyond traditional cosmetic application treatments. In this context, the sector has developed new technological tools that seek to revolutionize the beauty world. Among them we find the jade facial roller, the quartz roller, the cooling globes or new methods such as facial yoga or the gua sha technique. The gua-sha technique, although it may seem like a recent creation, has its origins in Asia for more than 200 years.
The gua-sha technique aims to stimulate the muscles of the face through self-massage. In this way, lymphatic drainage is promoted and helps to diminish and/or reduce small, very superficial expression wrinkles. This massage is performed with a stone that, by applying a little pressure to the face, relaxes the area and rejuvenates it. When applying massages with the gua-sha technique, experts say that it is best to make small controlled movements on the face to increase circulation. “Its function is to promote lymphatic drainage and stimulate muscle circulation,” says Dr. Pérez Sevilla, specialized in Facial Aesthetic Medicine and Surgery.
In addition to the gua-sha technique, today there are other tools that are part of any beauty lover’s routine. The jade facial roller, which is believed to have healing properties, is used to soothe the skin, expel toxins and improve the texture of our complexion. Cooling globes are another trending technique that promises a good-looking effect in a matter of minutes. You must put these gadgets in the refrigerator so that they are very cold and then apply them to certain parts of the face to notice the result. And, if you are looking for something more conventional, you can opt for a facial cleansing brush with which you can eliminate toxins, impurities and cleanse the skin while massaging your face.
Whether you use the gua-sha technique, a massager, a facial cleansing brush or a roller, professionals say that the most important thing is consistency in its application; since it will be this repetition that will help our skin look revitalized and have an improved appearance.
