What Facial Sculpting Tools Will You Need?

Hot Compress

The hot compress is a versatile and accessible sculpted skin tool that offers a range of benefits for your skincare routine. Applying a hot compress to your face can have several positive effects on your skin. The warmth allows for better absorption of skincare products. This is particularly beneficial when applying moisturizers, serums, or facial oils as it allows the ingredients to penetrate deeper into the skin, maximizing their effectiveness. Additionally, the heat from the compress increases blood circulation, bringing more oxygen and nutrients to the skin cells, which can promote a healthier complexion.

To perform a hot compress at home, you'll need a clean cloth or towel and warm water. It's important to use a clean cloth to prevent any bacteria or dirt from transferring to your skin. Remember to be mindful of the temperature and listen to your skin's reaction. For best results follow-up with a hyaluronic acid serum and your normal skincare regimen.

Gua-sha

Gua sha is an ancient Chinese skincare technique that involves using a smooth-edged tool to gently scrape the skin. It has gained popularity in recent years for its numerous skincare benefits. The gua sha tool is typically made of jade, rose quartz, or other stones, and it is used to massage and stimulate the skin.

When using gua sha at home, the tool is gently scraped along the face or body using specific techniques. This scraping motion helps to stimulate lymphatic drainage, increase blood circulation, and reduce muscle tension. The benefits of incorporating gua sha into your skincare routine are plentiful.

When choosing a gua sha tool, look for authentic crystals, which are typically heavier in weight and allow for deeper penetration, providing tension relief. For best results, apply a facial oil, then gently sweep the stone up the neck, focusing on facial contours towards the hairline.

Facial Rollers

Face rolling is a skincare technique that involves using a facial roller, typically made of jade or rose quartz, to massage and roll over the face. It has become a popular practice for its potential benefits in promoting healthy skin. The face roller consists of a larger stone for the cheeks, forehead, and jawline, and a smaller stone for delicate areas like the under-eye area and nose.

The technique is similar to gua sha, where the roller is gently moved across the face in upward and outward motions, following the natural contours of the face.

Using a chilled facial roller two-three times a week for at least five minutes will not only help to move lymphatic drainage, but it also treats puffiness and headaches while providing a sculpted facial appearance.

LED therapy

LED therapy, also known as light-emitting diode therapy, is a non-invasive skincare treatment that uses various colored LED lights to target specific skin conditions and promote skin health. This therapy involves exposing the skin to low-level light wavelengths, which are absorbed by the skin cells and stimulate various cellular processes. LED therapy can treat a range of skin conditions and concerns, including: acne, loss of skin elasticity and collagen production, hyperpigmentation, rosacea, and much more. The most common form is red light therapy and can be combined with other colors such as blue or yellow. The Dr. Dennis Gross FaceWare Pro is a great tool that combines 60 LED lights that is an easy at-home treatment with great skincare benefits.

Micro-needling

Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a minimally invasive skincare treatment that involves creating tiny micro-injuries in the skin using a pen-like device or roller with fine needles. These controlled micro-injuries trigger the body's natural healing response, stimulating the production of collagen and elastin, which are essential proteins for maintaining skin firmness, elasticity, and overall health. Microneedling can effectively treat various skin conditions and concerns including: enlarged pores, acne scars, fine lines and wrinkles, uneven skin tone, stretch marks, and skin texture.

It’s important to note that microneedling is typically performed by trained professionals, but there are also at-home microneedling devices available for personal use. However, if considering an at-home device, it’s crucial to follow the manufacturer's instructions and maintain strict hygiene practices to minimize the risk of infection. A great at-home tool is the BeautyBio GloPro that even includes red light therapy.

How to DIY SPA Night at Home

1) Start with a Steamy Bath or Shower

A luke-warm bath or shower, amplified by Epsom salt or sea salt are not only therapeutic, but also de-bloating, muscle-relaxing, and incredibly calming. Treat yourself to an aromatic session at least once a week – you deserve it!

2) Don’t Forget About Your Feet!

After your feet are soft enough in the shower, this is the time to give them attention! We stand on these bad boys all day, so it’s important to treat our calluses with a foot buffer to exfoliate dead skin cells. For extra care, try a foot mask – there are plenty of exfoliating and deep hydration masks out there.

3) Moisturize Your Body

After a relaxing bath, make sure to follow up with a hydrating moisturizer or body oil for maximum absorption and baby-soft skin.

4) A Hydrating Face Mask is Essential

Now that the face and body is squeaky clean, it’s time for an instant facial. Experience a soothing burst of hydration with our biocellulose sheet mask that plumps, protects, and calms skin.

5) Under Eye Peel Off Mask

The under-eye is an incredibly sensitive area, and the thinnest skin on the face! It’s important to treat this area to prevent crows feet and fine lines. Depuff, hydrate, and soothe skin with the Hydra+ Mask, which also doubles up as an under-eye mask.

6) Finish With a Good Night’s Sleep

What’s equally as important as hydration? Getting the right amount of consistent sleep. According to Dr. Satchin Panda, a leading expert in the field of circadian rhythm research, repeatedly disrupting your circadian clock can have adverse health consequences. Therefore, 7 hours of consistent sleep every night is crucial to your overall health and wellbeing.
