so i received a jade roller and gua sha set from matykos beauty (thank you matykos!) and i can say that i really love it! it seems to be high quality at such a low price compared to other competitors.
claims:
the set comes with a certificate that the jade roller and gua sha are genuine jade. theyre made of xiuyan jade. by what ive researched, there are three types of genuine jade. jadeite, nephrite, and xiuyan jade. jadeite is the rarest and most valuable of them all. nephrite is in the middle and is rich in tremolite. xiuyan is the most popular as it is the most affordable and xiuyan is rich in serpentine.
jade is considered to have healing powers and balance the chi but if you dont believe in that theres other benefits!

how to use:
i use the gua sha at night when i use my cleansing oil so itll be easier to take the oil off when im done. i feel refreshed after i use it. people typically use regular facial oils but i get acne easily and i just prefer to be able to wash the oil off. i follow the visual directions the pamphlet gives.
i use the face shop rice water bright rich cleansing oil.
i use the jade roller in the morning and at night one time after i pat my essence in and another time at night after i put my moisturizer on. in the morning, it helps to wake me up and at night it helps to relax me and help put me to sleep. it doesnt squeak which i heard some other jade rollers do which the pamphlet says it wont squeak. i follow the visual directions the pamphlet gives.
i use the cerave moisturizing lotion and the jigott moisture skin essence.
i put both the jade roller and the gua sha in my freezer to benefit from them more. i recommend putting yours in the freezer or the fridge so you get the cooling effects with it.
i used to run an ice cube across my face but since i received the jade roller, i dont have to do that anymore!
one thing i CAN mention is that the pamphlet they give you seems a little off. the print is askew and the instructions seem to cut off at certain points but its not bad enough to where you cant assume what to do.
if you're looking into buying a jade roller and gua sha, i highly recommend the matykos beauty jade set. you can buy your set here.
