FACIAL GUA SHA: amzn.to/3jdqZpN
JADE ROLLER: amzn.to/2uj8GHE
Gua Sha is a little bit like dry brushing for the face in a sense that it helps with lymphatic drainage when done correctly. It also helps a lot with water retention. My mom and I started doing it a few years ago and felt a big difference. Our faces seem firmer and less puffiness. For reference I'm 27 and my mom is 52
If you would like more fat, plumpness in the face, do you think this might not be good to use?
@@rochellerusso6573 Massaging doesn't add fat to your face but helps the skin rejuvenate
So what's the difference between dry brushing and gua sha?
@@s.8186 They both help with the blood circulation and draining of the lymphatic system. Gua Sha is less irritating because the tool has a smooth edge. You can also apply more pressure with the Gua Sha tool. Dry brushing is good for the body(altho I have pretty delicate skin and even the softer bristles scratches it), but might be too irritating for the skin on the face
@@Losshe ok, now I understand. Thanks for the detailed answer :)
I’m a Gua Sha tool user now for the past few months. I have to say I see improvement in my skin. People compliment me on how nice my skin looks. I’m 32 and noticed before this my face looked more uneven texture wise. Also less sinus headaches than before which is a plus.
My skin has acne can I still use it?
Your videos are always short, sweet, and to the point! Always appreciate that. And girl...you are STUNNING!
girl - y'all are busy. I'm not going to waste your time with bs.
See, now this is why you are my all-time fave!
I've been using both for a while now and prefer Gua Sha. I've seen more change in my skin with Gua Sha. I do love the idea of using the jade roller with a sheet mask!
Ya like I said, I only thing Jade Roller is more popular right now because it looks prettier but the Gua Sha tool is definitely better for results.
oh I was curious what changed have you personally seen in your skin? :O
I love how you explain the Eastern and Western influences for the products and practices you use. It's informative and practical. I have started using Gua Sha recently and feel a difference. I'm sure with more use, I will see a difference. Thank you for sharing what works for you and being so relatable.
You don't need the special jade Gua Sha tool, I used to do body Gua Sha (neck and back) for my mom when I was a kid, started around 5-6 years old. We used a soup spoon, the type you see in most Chinese restaurants. We dipped the spoon in a small amount of oil to protect the skin. It worked perfectly.
How do you use a soup spoon as the shape looks quite different from the Gua Sha tool?
Elfin
same way regular GuaSha
Yeah beauty companies are just marketing all of these garbage tools at all of the 20 year olds out there that don't know any better.
Elizabeth - it actually does have some benefits and it’s definitely not the same as using a spoon......
Thanks Olivia for that tip and its Cheaper
It must work, Ms. Dang has one of the most gorgeous faces I've ever seen on a human being.
I totally agree with you. I started by using jade roller and then I switched to Gua Sha tool. now I’ve been using Gua Sha for 2 years now, my skin complexion has improved tremendously. Skin becomes more radiant and firm. I do this a few times a week. Totally in love with this tool. I carry it everywhere I go. Thanks for the video! Love it.
it's not painful????
Hello...can you add a bit more about the differences you felt from using both the tools and why one is better over the other? Thank you
Where do u get ur gua sha tool? I feel like the ones on amazon aren’t actual jade? Does it matter?
Please, how do you sterilize the tool after each use; since you carry it about every where you go?
When I was younger I was very into Jade....I recently watched a documentary on how it is mined,and have since stopped buying it.
Slave labor, and death, should never be used to procure a stone to help my skin, muscles, or religious beliefs.
Marina Marina- I know this reply is a year late, but I wanted to state that jade isn't just mined from one country using unethical means, there are many countries in the world that jade is mined ethically and without cruelty.
Marina Marina just keep in mind that just cuz it’s marketed as jade doesn’t mean it’s real authentic jade.
Marina Marina this is also late but jade rollers and facial jades are made from a cheaper alternative that is still jade. It is made of usually new jade or Xiuyan jade. That is why you can get them for so cheap. Real authentic jade can cost over 1,000 dollars for the smallest amount.
Rose quartz is an option.
my gua sha is made from rose quartz :)
For everyone asking, you caaannnn put the Gua Sha tool in the freezer but it doesn't add anything. With the tool I have, the sides are small enough to where you don't really feel the cold. I just tested it out and it's refreshing for a second but not an added value like it is with the jade roller.
Aja Dang hi, love your videos! I’m a upcoming Esthetician and I wanted to know if this would be a good tool to use as a part of my facials for my clients? Or I shouldn’t use the same tool on all my clients even though I do plan on cleaning it?
Thanks for making this video! I think that I need both tools.
Hi...thank you for the tips! would you tell us the name of your serum please?
Hello! may i post bits of this video on my instagram? i will credit you of course! thank you!
Aja Dang show to clean our gua sha? Thank you
Love this video, she gets right to it and looks great. I've watched a bunch of videos tonight because I just bought both of these things and so far I like this video the most and feel it's the most genuine. I also love that she states that she is sharing her personal opinion.
I use both daily. I use the roller in the morning & the gua sha board in the evening before bed. 🙂 💖🍃🌸
I have both and going to start doing that in my skincare routine
I found this very helpful! I bought a jade roller that comes with a gua sha and I had no idea what to do with it until now! Thanx for sharing and for the knowledge!
Finally someone who gave me some clarity thank you 💕
Hi Aja! I think you video was amazing, I just found out about this technique last night. Yours is the first video I've watched. I love you. You made this smart, savvy and informative. You bring to life ancient, metaphysical and skin care to a perfect pitch. I'm actually 50 years old this year. I don't look a day over 30. But, I've been and do sell my own vegan based skin & hair care products. I also use crystals including jade to metaphysical treatment/healing for my clients. This is a welcomed essential, thank you. I will be following you!
Bought a jade gua sha tool and I love it, think I'll get a rose quartz one just because I love pink 💕💕💕💕
Besides the content itself, just love the HD quality of the video!
so helpful! I definitely want to try the gua shua. I was stuck between the two but after your video I am leaning towards gua shua :D
Your voice is so calming! Thanks for the informative video :)
So happy to have found your channel. I was looking for information on gua sha as well as the jade roller. You've been incredibly helpful and informative. I will absolutely now purchase both as the roller looks nice as a soothing treat for my under eyes some mornings however I'm extremely excited to get and start incorporating the gua sha stone into my everyday skincare routine. I can completely see how it could aid in anti-aging. In one short video you've totally won me over and in really looking forward to seeing what else you've got to offer. Hope you're having a wonderful day. Peace and love xo
You’re such a stunning person and I love your vids!! Definitely gonna try out the gua sha! Sounds amazing and I’ve actually read a lot of articles about the lymphatic fluids in your face and all that jazz so I look forward to trying this out!
This was fantastic! I use my Jade Roller with my Carrot Seed and Avacado oil and am getting very great results.You convinced me...I have to try the Gua Sha! You are so beautiful!!! xxoo susan
Idk how it feels like to be this beautiful 🥺😭 omg you’re SO beautiful
I’m a guasha person and I totally agree with you!
I have a jade roller and gua sha from Mount Lai and i love them! definitely authentic and such a staple part of my daily routine.
Very helpful, I am setting aside time in my routine to try a pink quartz roller. I am such a skincare newbie and I felt this was well explained. Will remember to put it in the freezer!
This jade rolling trend has reminded me to do gua sha on my face. I usually do it after moisturizing. Great video!
This was sooooo informative, I just ordered a gua sha tool this morning and now I’m seeing this. I’m glad you broke down the differences and what to expect. Thank you thank you thank you!!!
To viewers with acne:
I would not recommend either one of these tools for acne prone skin. These tools can cause extra friction on the skin, therefore irritating existing acne and acne prone skin.
Aja does not seem like she has acne prone skin, so maybe its works for her for increasing circulation, and possibly reducing her breakouts.
However, for acne prone skin I would stay away from irritating your irritable skin more!
Gua Sha isn't an acne treatment but is good to prevent acne. Gua Sha will clearing clogged pores and control acne and pimples. This will help you avoid getting breakouts. If your acne is caused by oily skin, using Gua Sha can increase skin moisture, reducing oil production and improve blood circulation, which can affect and improves your skin condition 😉
Aja Dang Acne shouldn't be touched more than neccesary though. Pimple sores being rolled over with a hard object with preassure can make your skin a lot more irritated.
I totally understand that, which is why my comment explains how it doesn't help with acne you already have but prevents you from getting further breakouts.
Aja Dang That is a good way to put it! Gua Sha can increase blood circulation from the friction and movement of the jade on the skin. However, I don't think it regulates oil production or skin moisture. Our skin is composed of natural moisturizing factors in the stratum corneum. Our skin is kept healthy by keeping a healthy skin barrier, so using a pH balanced around 5.5 and using moisturizer, perhaps with ceramides for extra skin function.
The skin will produce excess sebum in response to an unhealthy skin barrier, but if the skin has sebaceous glands that are naturally very active, both tools will do nothing to regulate oil production. Therefore, they cannot help prevent further breakouts caused by oil as there is no active ingredient that can stimulate the sebaceous glands in the dermis.
So, the gua sha tool and jade roller alone as a tool only help increase blood circulation. I wouldn't advise it to anyone who is prone to acne as the increased blood circulation isn't worth the risk of irritating your skin.
For acne viewers not suffering from hormonal acne, I would recommend finding a pH balanced cleanser around 5.5 (cosrx has one), incorporating a chemical exfoliant such as retinoids, azelic acid, or mandelic acid to help clear and maintain the pores, and a moisturizer that isn't too heavy for the skin but not light enough where you do not get enough hydration.
Btw, I am not a physician, but a 1st year medical student with a passion for skin and maintaining it 😊
Emily why are you recommending skin care routines? As a first year med you wouldn't know much about improving acne. You really wouldn't get that deep into that stuff until you get into a dermatology school.
I've wanted a gua sha board since I originally watched this video and finally got one today. The instructions are great.
Thank you, I found this very helpful. I was looking through multiple videos to figure out how to use a gwa sha...as I never have used one. Your video had the most practical information, and you didn't waste time talking to the camera about nonsense. Very nicely executed, you go girl!
Yesss! I’m so obsessed with mine, I love it! I’ve seen a difference with my skin and I’ve only been using it 2 weeks!
Thank you for pointing out that this has been around for centuries! 👌 Trendy doesn't always mean effective! ✌💗🔆
How great this video is! I just bought both tools but had no idea how to use them so THANK YOU! 💗❤️💓💛💜
I have the jade roller and I have seen substantial improvement on my skin
love your makeup! so chic but natural looking
Your explanation was so helpful. Thanks a bunch!,,
I think this is good for serum penetration. Serum then sheet mask and jade roller. To soak in the skin all the beautiful ingredients.
Thank you so much. A while back I bought an ice roller for headaches and I could get either just that, that and a roller, or that with a roller AND the stone for a little more. Decided to get the three pack but wasn't quite sure how to use the other two. Now I know and I will definitely try tonight
Wow. I didn't even know a out these products. Thank you for explaining a out each one so well. I would definitely try this.
I am excited for this! I received my Face Roller & Gua Sha the other day. Can't wait to unbox and use
you’re so pretty. I just heard of gua sha, but I’ve been using the jade roller for months. I never knew the correct way to use it though
I also put both my jade roller and quartz roller in the freezer. First thing in the morning after cleansing I use both rollers. Feels amazing.
This is so helpful! I've been debating between the two for a long time. Going to get the Gua Sha! Thanks!
WHAAAAAAT you are ridiculously pretty, i'd only seen you on an instagram ad before this.
This was so helpful thanks Aja!
Oooo... sounds so comfortable. A good exercise for the face muscles.
Kasvini Muniandy it's incredibly relaxing
I LOVE my Gua Sha. I actually didnt know what it was called till now! But I struggle with puffy eyes a lot. And my face is really sensitive to salt. So as soon as I learned how to use it, my life became a lot easier! I used to have to use green tea bags for my eyes in the morning, but this tool makes it a lot easier and quicker to de puff!
Thank you for your review, it's just what I needed to decide whether or not I will be purchasing any of these!
I just bought both from Amazon and used the roller first. I was super happy with it until I used the Gua Sha and OMG! I definitely prefer the Gua Sha over the roller. I instantly felt the difference with the Gua Sha. I definitely love it!
told ya! the jade roller is just pretty.
THAT THUMBNAIL THOUGH. 💚
I am mostly Filipino with some Chinese (and Spanish also) in my roots. I can definitely attest to jade being important to my family's culture. My mother gifted a jade ring to me on my 18th birthday, just as my grandma gifted one to her.
I didn't take careful care of my skin in my college years and now have dark (and I mean, DARK) circles and wrinkles around my eyes. I neglected moisturizing my dry skin and didn't sleep well. Recently, I've noticed even some wrinkles/folds on my neck. I've never tried jade rolling or gua sha but have always been intrigued by both techniques. Thank you, Aja for providing some more information! I think I may try gua sha for my neck.
kromatic I think Gua Sha definitely might help!
Just bought a guasha and jade roller.and both are amazing I just love it.especially the feel of the tools and the cool bottle green colour of the jade stone.very cool and relaxing to the eyes.just love love both tools😍😍😍🤗😁☺
You have a natural beauty! Very pretty.
Thank you so much for the information regarding “upwards” and “outwards” motions. I use both tools for my facial routines. Your video is really good.
Also, I've been using a gua sha for two years to help with migraines and jaw stiffness. My acupuncturist recommended it.
Im gonna try this tonight! I'll try out the diff ways you've showed and hopefully I'll see some results after a month or so 😊
Can't wait to try it. I got both as a gift.
Just bought a jade roller from Esteli Body and love it. Thanks for making this video!
Thanks for sharing! Very helpful video! Now I know what to choose.
Totally agree with you! I love guasha more than the roller! 💕💕
First of all thank you for all of this information and second of all, YOU ARE GORGEOUS without make up! ^^
Been using my gua sha for about 2 years now. I'm 52 and I think it's really improved my skin tone and texture 💜❤️🌷you have gorgeous skin! Wish I'd been more proactive and avoided the California ☀️ sun !
Cathryn Thordarson I'm really loving it so far! And I agree with staying out of the sun. Too late for me now, actively trying to correct the damage done
How do you clean it ?
I think it would be really helpful if you could show a before and after of someone older with wrinkles to see how much if any it helps.
Thanks Aja for this video!! I was looking for a difference between the Roller and the Gua Sha and you just give me the answer which one buy first :) Excellent information. Thanks again
Thank you for such a detailed video! I haven't heard of either tool but now I want them both :D
so helpful! I would think you would favor the jade roller more, but I am convinced that i need a gua sha!
I’m new to both products. Your video was SO helpful! Thank you! 🤗
Any improvement?
Omg I am so happy you made this video.
I was just given a Jade Roller for Christmas, never seen one before and I love it, really does help with Puffy Eyes and also Headaches rolling on the Temples, Very Soothing :-)x
Thanks for making this! I have an autoimmune disease that’s causing puffiness in my face. I can’t wait to see if this helps.
I tried both two and i agree with you. Gua is better, my skin IS incredible
Hi Aja! Such a fantastic and informative video. I just wondered what you would recommend for me, I am 20 years old and wanted to start trying this technique for myself. Since there seems to be multiple benefits to using Gua Sha 😌
On amazon you can get both of these tools together for a good price i just ordered mine
Love this video! Should you do this on clear skin or can you use it over some acne?
Thank you so much for telling me the difference of the jade roller and gua sha Aja!!
Where do you buy the Gua sha? Keep doing more videos, I found it so helpful!! 🎉👏🏼🤗
Loved this video! You need a skin fridge, they are life changing haha
This video was very helpful. I just ordered a jade roller and a gua sha and I didn’t really know what to do with it. Thanks for the video❤️
Just FYI for anyone watching this who is going to buy the Gua Sha tool, she is doing it wrong in the video, you are supposed to hold the tool at a 5 to 10 degree angle (almost flat). Certainly she may still have benefits doing it this way, but you get more benefits from creating the skin tension of the tool when held properly.
you get skin tensions either way. The way I do it, which many Asian skincare professionals do the same way as well, creates greater tension then laying it flat on your skin.
@@AjaDang Slapped down by the creator, I'm humbled lol.
This was so helpful, thank you!
I have just bought a set, so now I'm quite excited to try both out, thanks for the tips! Interested to know what sheet masks you recommend?
I from Ukraine 🇺🇦 and your pronunciation is very clearly, I like so much, I understand almost all what you say 😻😻😻❤️❤️❤️thanks
Your skin is amazing and you are beautiful !!!
Dang Aja! Great video. Thanks
Wow her voice is so beautiful 🥺
thankyou for the explanation and demonstration, i feel like i will be able to use these tools with better understanding and more benefit.!
Anyways, how do you take care of your neck skin?? No wrinkles! I'm 25 years old but mine got wrinkles more and more...
Thank you so much information I have no idea about!! Trying both!
I found you while searching for gua sha reviews, I started with jade roller a couple weeks ago and wanted to know if it's the best option and your video really helpmed out! Thank you!
I've had a gua Sha tool for a few years and I love using it especially when my face feels super puffy or swollen around my period 😂 mine is just ceramic though and I kind of fell in love with your jade one 😍 time to invest in a new one I think
ActuallySure luckily my Gua Sha took was only $16 but as long as your tool works, that's all that matters! You can also use a spoon!
I love your comparison. I learned a lot and now want BOTH. lol TFS!
Great video,I enjoyed watching you.I Just got mine the other day and started using.
New subscriber here ur skin is amazing!! I thought 8 mins would be long but it went by so quick. What face mask are u using 💕
I've just started using a Jade roller, this video is very helpful thank you so much xx
Thanks Aja for this video! I was wanting to know more about jade rolling. Not only is it good for your skin but jade is so pretty..lol..i love the tool.
Thank you so much!! This was a great video and what I needed to hear:)
How often do you use the tool..and what pressure is best? Is it ok to use under eyes? Thanks so much great video xxx
This was so lovely and informative! Thank you! I want to get a gua sha now instead. I have tremendous tension and knots in my left shoulder and really want to start seeing an acupuncturist -this would be a lovely compliment to it. Also truly obsessed with beauty and skincare and anything that can add to the rituals of self love. Will be trying this :). You look radiant by the way xx
i love my gua sha. i've heard that the rollers break. I purchased a gua sha kit and love it so much
Can we use both? For example using the jade roller first and when we finish use the other one?❣
Amazing video,just right to the point,love it!
This really helped me out. Thank you!
