Almost everyone could use them without any exception of skin types and textures. 

Face tools are most commonly made up of either jade or rose quartz. There are some modified versions too which use the technology to give desired results. There are plenty of options now available in the market to choose from depending upon your skin needs.

The Benefits of Facial Massages

1. Reduces puffiness of the face- If you wake up with a puffy face then facial massages should be on your list of to-do things every morning. Therefore, a good massage helps reduce puffiness by aiding proper lymphatic drainage.

3. Reduces stress- Massages, in general, are a great way of releasing any tension or stress. By doing a facial massage, you can feel the level of stress dropping instantly as the muscles of your face are relaxed.

4. Anti-ageing benefits- Regular massage helps in tightening the skin. This in turn reduces the appearance of wrinkles caused by ageing.

5. Better absorption of products- Massaging your face helps better absorption of your skincare products like serum and oils. When a product penetrates better, it gives better effectiveness and results.

6. Sculpts the face- It is a common belief that a regular massage of the face, gives a more sculpted look. 

How To Use the Face Tools In a Right Way

Step 1- Cleaning

Firstly, cleanse your face well with an exfoliator or face wash of your choice.

Step 2- Moisturizing

Now, apply facial oil, serum, or moisturizer onto your face to get enough lubrication. 

Step 3- Using A Tool

Always, start from the base of your neck and roll upward. For best results, roll up, not back and forth.

Roll upwards from your jawline to your ear on both sides using very gentle pressure. Now, roll from your forehead up toward your hairline, only in the upward direction. And lastly roll flat over your eyebrows horizontally, which may feel relieving if you have a headache.

Important Things To Keep In Mind

1. Make sure you have enough lubrication on your face. This will help the tool glide onto your skin easily. Without it, the massager or the tool could tug on your skin which could cause damage.

2. Always start from the base and roll-up. This is the best technique to get firmer skin.

3. Remember, always clean your massager after use.
