When somebody says that skincare is therapeutic, there are two sides to that story. One side is the laborious makeup wiping, double cleansing, and pore-caring. On the other hand, there are these glorious gifts from the skincare Gods – facial massage tools. These little (and sometimes big) babies are a fool-proof way to elevate your skincare game to the next level. Every skincare geek has at least one facial tool on which their skincare therapy relies on, and as a beauty writer, I have 30. Do you want to know which facial tool is POPxo’s beauty team befriending off late?

The One That Never Dissapoints
“I have this great Gua Sha by House Of Beauty, with small and blunt teeth on one end. Unlike many other facial tools that I have used, this one has turned out to be the most effective. Even after a quick 10-minute massage, you can see a visible difference in your skin. I like it because it stimulates blood circulation in my skin and instantly makes my skin feel relaxed.”
– Nidhi Kavle, Beauty Editor
A New BFF
“I just got my hands on this amazing Gua Sha, and I can’t get enough of it. This Black Obsidian Gua Sha is sculpted in a unique way that helps me massage all my facial areas effectively. It almost feels like it was specifically made for my face. Although the brand description says that it’s designed for men, it works great for me, so I guess that makes it a unisex find. On days when I am a victim of a puffy face, tired complexion, or a super stressful day, using this gua sha always makes me feel so much more relaxed. I like to start my day with this little number, and I sometimes end my nighttime skincare routine with it too.”

For All Your Skin Depuffing Needs
“I use this one pretty much every day to depuff my face and to make sure the goodness of my face oils penetrate deep within the skin. I pop it in the fridge for about 15 minutes before I have to use it and then follow along with a 10 min face roller massage routine. It helps with lymphatic drainage and is very gentle on the skin. The best part about it is the calmness and relaxation I feel after using it.”
– Anandita Malhotra, Junior Editor
Made A Difference
“I love putting my jade roller in the freezer before using it to get it nice and cool. Along with making my skin feel soothed and relaxed, the cold temperature also helps reduce any puffiness that I might have woken up with. This facial roller has made a noticeable difference to my skin. Not to mention, it feels super relaxing and can be used in multiple ways. I personally love using it over sheet masks or post applying my face serums.”
– Ayushi Verma, Beauty Writer
A Calming Ritual
“I love to use ice globes in my skincare routine. The whole ritual is very calming and relaxing for my skin and helps me get rid of any puffiness. I have been using these ice globes for a while now, and I feel like they do help in firming your skin with regular use.”
