And this is where I love a good facial massage!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe Bare Roots Gua Sha Tool is a beautiful and simple way to bring a little facial massage into your skincare routine. The smooth natural stone glides over the skin while the different edges and curves allow you to work around the contours of your face, jaw, neck and also your decolletage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eUsed with a facial oil or another product that gives your skin plenty of slip, gua sha can be a lovely way to massage the face, release some of that built up tension and leave your skin looking fresh again.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eAnd a little MKS honesty:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eBecause you know I can’t help myself… honesty and transparency all the way! Gua Sha isn’t going to permanently sculpt your face or magically transform your skin overnight…\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eBut what I do love about it is the massage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eIt can help to temporarily reduce the appearance of puffiness and encourage circulation, bringing fresh nutrients and oxygen to your skin cells.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eAnd perhaps most importantly, it gives you a few minutes to slow down and actually pay attention to your skin, notice how your face feels and help you de stress.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eTo be honest (again!)… that is sometimes what is the most beneficial.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eNow you absolutely can do a facial massage with your hands! But I love the experience and the ritual using a gua sha stone gives you. It also helps to encourage you to slow down and be really intentional with the massage as you work your way through the steps.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;\"\u003eBut which stone should you choose?!\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; font-weight: normal;\"\u003eIt is available in 3 stone options and as to which one you choose, it really is personal preference. You don’t necessarily need to choose one based on claims about ‘energy’ (however you absolutely can!) or even the skincare benefits of the stone.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eWhichever you choose, the facial massage matters the most. So I think you may as well go with the one you love looking at or feel drawn to. Because actually using it is what will help your skin the most, rather than it being another thing at the back of your skincare drawer.\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; font-weight: normal;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;\"\u003e🩷\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;\"\u003e Rose Quartz:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e A classic choice with its beautiful soft pink colouring.

Think gentle and gliding, rather than scraping or trying to force the tool through the skin.
