Give your beauty routine a boost, with these rollers and gua sha tools that help your skincare work harder
Facial massagers come in different shapes and sizes, with each focusing on specific techniques and skin concerns.
Massaging your face is a practice said to lift and tone skin, creating extra elasticity over time and reducing pesky puffiness.
Face massage tools work by assisting lymphatic drainage and reducing any toxin build-up. This, in turn, promotes healthier-looking and -feeling skin.
Popular picks include the flat stone gua sha, which is a Chinese massage tool designed to stimulate soft tissue circulation and increase blood flow. Other tools take the form of rollers, wands and even vibrating facial massagers. They’re made from various materials, including amethyst, jade and zinc, for additional wellbeing benefits.
But what makes each option unique? We’re here to help you find out, as we’ve been busy testing a range of options. So, whether you’re looking to firm up fine lines or indulge in some deep face-massage relaxation, keep reading to find the best facial massage tool for you.
