How To Use A Rose Quartz Roller & Gua Sha

So, you’ve gotten yourself a Rose Quartz Roller and a Gua Sha, or you’re thinking of getting yourself a set. If not, at the very least you’ve seen them all around social media and you’re wondering ‘what’s the hype’? Or thinking ‘how do I use a stone to my benefit’? Well, worry no longer. As the first Maldivian Facial Roller brand, we’re here to give you all the details you need to know about Rose Quartz rollers and gua sha tools that date back to ancient China. You’ll also come to understand why almost every skincare enthusiast and beauty guru has a facial roller.

While aestheticians and dermatologists agree that the usage of these tools deliver skincare benefits, it is important to know exactly how one must use these tools to reap the benefits. Since ancient China, these tools have definitely evolved overtime and so have the methods. However, before we go on to discuss how to use these hyped tools, let’s take a quick look at their benefits, which we bet will motivate you even more to incorporate facial rolling into your daily skincare routine.

Benefits of Rose Quartz Roller VS Gua Sha

If you’re a busy person, the facial roller is more convenient in comparison to the gua sha as it offers a quick solution to depuffing your skin (especially the under-eye area in the morning) while also stimulating blood flow and promoting lymphatic drainage. Stimulating blood flow to your face helps bring oxygen to the skin and reduces tension for a more youthful glow. The rose quartz roller also helps to soothe rashes or heated flush. The gua sha on the other hand is preferred when you like to take your time with your skincare routine. Continuous use of gua sha can help your face look more contoured by toning your facial muscles, aiding in circulation which helps carry away toxins and congestion, while enhancing skin tone and texture, as well as reducing signs of aging.

Step-by-step Guide to using Rose Quartz Roller and Gua Sha

With skincare, it’s always crucial to be consistent. The best skincare results are always seen upon consistent and dedicated care of your skin, whether it’s a toner, a serum, a cream, a mask or a tool, you must stay consistent and loyal to your routine to reap the benefits.

Always start off your skincare routine with a freshly cleansed face. For this you can use a normal facial cleanser or a face wash and pat dry. You can use the Rose Quartz roller and gua sha any time during the day or during your night-time skincare routine, whichever way you feel works best for your skin and your routine. You can use the rose quartz roller and gua sha before applying your serums and creams, or during applying them, or even after applying them. Choose a way that makes your skin feel the best!
