The different facial tools

The facial spa vaporizer

A steam bath for the face is a youth treatment in itself for your skin. By sweating, you will release toxins and promote cell renewal. Moreover, the moisture naturally hydrates your epidermis, which will soften and look younger.

Frequency of use: treat yourself to a facial spa once a week. If you have time, try to make it a little wellness ritual by taking time to relax and breathe deeply.

Ice globes

The cold is excellent for circulation, and using ice globes on your face will, on one hand, decongest the skin and, on the other hand, enhance the effect of your daytime cream, as the pores are more open in the morning and therefore more receptive to treatment.

Keep the ice globes in the fridge and in a small airtight box to avoid food odors.

Frequency of use: Every morning (yes, really, you’ll see, it’s just a habit to adopt). You will love waking up your skin with these ice globes.

The lifting roller or jade stone roller

The roller is one of the facial tools that you absolutely must integrate into your morning beauty routine.

By using it regularly, you will be surprised to see that your dark circles are diminished, your wrinkles are smoother, and your skin is plumped. Its draining action offers a little lymphatic massage to your face and improves blood circulation.

Remember to use your roller after, and only after, applying an oil or cream to your face to avoid damaging your bare skin.

Frequency of use: every morning in addition to or instead of the ice globes.

The Gua Sha stone

Similar to the jade roller, the Gua Sha stone is also used to reshape the contours of the face. Its benefits for the skin are real and known for hundreds of years as it is used in traditional Chinese medicine. It is most often made of rose quartz but can also be made of jade.

Frequency of use: as often as possible depending on your skin’s sensitivity. If you have dermatological issues, do not continue this practice, but if you listen to your body and have the right gestures, there is no risk and the results are surprising.

The Gua Sha stone is used like this:

The ultra-soft brush

An affordable must-have to gently and deeply cleanse your skin. Choose one that is very soft with synthetic or natural fibers and remember to clean it after each use to keep it clean for as long as possible.

The grip is very simple, and you make small circles on your cheeks, forehead, and chin while avoiding the eyes and the neck skin, which is very thin.

Frequency of use: very sensitive skin should use it once or twice a week, while normal skin can use it more often, knowing that it is not necessary to cleanse the skin every day to avoid weakening the epidermis.

How to prepare your face in the morning?

Before equipping yourself with your facial tools, it is important to cleanse your skin well. Start by removing your makeup with a milk, micellar water, or solid makeup remover.

Next, clean deeply but gently with a brush made of antibacterial synthetic fibers to purify the skin and remove all impurities. Rinse with cold water to tone the skin, and let’s be honest, nothing wakes you up better!

Once your skin is clean, apply your usual day cream without pressing too hard. Depending on your preference, massage yourself with your jade roller, Gua Sha stone, or lifting roller.

Then gently but firmly tap with the tips of your fingers starting from the neck and moving up to the forehead for one last boost before starting your day.

The right gestures to adopt

Drink plenty of water

Our body and skin are mostly made up of water, so it’s important to stay hydrated throughout the day.

By drinking at least 1.5 liters a day, your skin will be brighter, visibly healthier, and it helps the liver rid itself of toxins.

Get some fresh air

Walking outside for a few minutes each day can improve our mental and physical health. Walking stimulates blood circulation and is good for our skin. Keep this in mind the next time you have a short trip to make.
