There are several advantages to jade rolling and ancient gua sha, but this is why I do it.
1. Reduce puffiness: Sometimes you wake up with puffy eyes. Jade rolling and Gua Sha are perfect for this.
2. Lymphatic drainage: Jade rolling and the ancient technique of Gua Sha help massage your lymph nodes. Lymph nodes are located around the ears. Draining lymphatic fluid helps to reduce wrinkles, enhance detoxification and eliminate skin conditions.
3. Reduce wrinkles: Jade rubs are also very effective in reducing wrinkles and fine lines. While they may not eliminate them, they can help reduce the dramatic nature.
4. Relieve facial tension: I have a very tense face and daily jade rubs or gua sha have proven to be very helpful. Both are deep tissue massages - going deep into the facial muscles and soothing them to reduce tension.
5. Promotes the movement of more nutrients from the blood to the skin
Technique of Jade Kneading
First, you will need a few tools - a cleanser, facial oil and a jade roller. I like to use the Remodeling Anti-Aging Facial Serum. It is a natural vegan skin care oil made from organic botanicals, plus it is zero cruelty and contains no SLS, parabens, preservatives or mineral oils.
1. Wash that pretty face! The process requires a clean surface to get the best results.
2. Moisturize! I like to use facial oil to do this because it adds moisture. If it doesn't suit your skin, you can use your favorite moisturizer.
3. Push out!
Now, the question is, how do you roll it out?
1. Start with your cheeks and chin. Apply the large end of the jade roller to your chin - using medium pressure. Then, roll it up to your ears. Do an average of five to six times at each point, then roll up along your cheeks. Do this process for both sides. 2.
2. Continue with your forehead. Starting in the middle of your forehead, use the large end of the jade roller to cross your ears. Repeat this five times, then move in the opposite direction.
3. Next, move to just below your eyes. Using the smaller end - medium pressure - move from the inner corner to the outer corner of the eye. Repeat ten to fifteen times for each eye.
4. Move up to the eyebrows. You can use the same procedure as for the eyes.
5. Then, apply medium pressure to the small end of the roller, quickly up and down the corners of the eyes. Do this for each eye. 6.
6. Finally, the chin. I prefer to finish by massaging the jaw joint with the small end of the roller. I massage hard, back and forth, back and forth, and fast in the areas of tension.
Shaving Techniques
Gua Sha and Jade Roller Facial Essence Massage
Before we look at the process, we should understand the tools needed for gua sha. You can use rose quartz, jade or plastic scrapers.
The technique also requires a facial oil. I recommend that you use Remodeling Anti Aging serum as it contains all the right ingredients to help slow down the aging process naturally.
In choosing your preferred tool, let's get right to the process.
Prepare your skin by using a moisturizer such as a shave and facial oil on your cleansed face. As I mentioned before, I use a massage with a remodeling anti-aging facial serum made from organic botanicals.
The whole process is very simple and straightforward if you apply a gentle pressure.
Place the preferred scraping tool on your face and slide the curved edges inward and outward, starting at the neck to the chin, then the jaw and finally around the mouth, averaging four times per area.
Then move to the cheeks, gently gliding under the eyes and over the eyebrows starting from the forehead and up to the hairline. I recommend you do this several times for best results. You may be a little nervous the first time you try it. I was too. All you need to do is control the pressure applied to your face to avoid bruising.
Continue to gently run the tool over your neck, moving from left to right with the gentlest strokes of the produce.
Finally, after the neck, massage from the nose to the side of the cheek and then outward to the middle of the chin, starting with the eyebrows on the forehead.
Conclusion: Scraping and jade roller massage with facial serum
Consistency is key to obtaining excellent results. Use for a few minutes a day to get the best results from ancient shaving and jade rolling massage.
