A Guide to Jade Facial Tools
Jade facial tools use the natural properties of jade to release tension, firm up your skin and smooth out wrinkles. Use these tools when you wake up to feel refreshed, or relax in the evening to enjoy better sleep quality. Jade tools are ideal for people who prefer natural treatments or want to save money by reusing their face masks.
What is a Jade Roller & Gua Sha?
A jade roller is a tool with a jade handle and polished jade stone on each side. To use, roll the largest stone across your neck, then roll your face to stimulate the skin. Use the smaller stone for the skin around your eyes. This promotes blood flow and collagen production, which firms your skin while maintaining elasticity.
Some rollers come with a gua sha, which is a polished heart-shaped or horn-shaped, or other different shaped stone that’s flat on either side. Apply pressure as you stroke the stone across your face and neck. In Chinese medicine, using a gua sha releases stagnant energy to relieve inflammation and chronic pain.
To clean your jade roller, detach the stones from the roller and wash them with soap and water, then dry them with a soft cloth. Repeat this process with the gua sha.
What is a Jade Eye Mask?
Jade masks are hand-woven and made from polished jade raw stone. They fit snugly over your eyes to soften the skin and improve circulation. These masks conform to virtually any eye shape.
The benefits of using a jade eye mask include:
- Relieves muscle tension and sensitivity
- Relaxes facial muscles
- Eases the symptoms of headaches and migraines
- Helps you relax and get to sleep
- Reduces eye bags and puffiness
- Improves your metabolism
- Reduces the risk of fine lines
- Relieves eye fatigue after spending time in front of screens
Place the mask in the fridge for a cooling effect, or soak it in warm water to make a hot compress.
What is a Jade Face Mask?
Jade face masks are hand-woven from hundreds of polished stones. Like eye masks, these masks are flexible enough to adjust to any face shape. They cover a wider surface area so you can treat your eyes, nose and cheeks at the same time without using separate products.
Jade masks are also reusable and easy to clean. Instead of throwing away face masks every night, you can save money and reduce waste. Simply clean the stones with soap and water, then dry them with a soft towel.
When you apply a jade mask, the light, cooling touch helps you relax as the crystals stimulate blood flow, softening the skin and relieving skin fatigue. These masks reduce swelling, puffiness and wrinkles to keep your skin fresh and elastic.
Overall, jade facial tools are sleek, attractive and easy to use, making them ideal for beginners. If you already collect jades, these tools make a vibrant addition to your practice.
