How to Use: Ice Roller, Jade Roller & Gua Sha
❄️ Ice Roller
Best for: Puffiness, redness, pores, post-workout recovery, headaches
- Freeze it — Keep your ice roller in the freezer (at least 2 hours before use).
- Cleanse first — Always start on a clean, dry face.
- Roll outward — Start at the center of your face and roll outward toward your hairline and ears.
- Neck & jawline — Roll upward along the neck and jaw to reduce tension and puffiness.
- Under eyes — Gently roll in a half-moon motion under each eye to reduce dark circles and bags.
- Duration — 3–5 minutes daily is enough. Use morning for depuffing, evening for relaxation.
- Clean after use — Wipe with a damp cloth and return to freezer.
💡 Pro tip: Use after applying serum to help absorption and reduce product puffiness.
💎 Jade Roller
Best for: Lymphatic drainage, product absorption, facial contouring, relaxation
- Apply your serum or oil first — The jade roller works best over a slippery surface (facial oil, vitamin C serum, or moisturizer).
- Large end for face — Use the larger roller for cheeks, forehead, and neck.
- Small end for detail areas — Use the smaller roller under the eyes, along the nose, and around the lips.
- Roll outward and upward — Always move from center outward and from neck upward. This follows lymphatic drainage direction.
- Light pressure only — The jade roller is not for deep tissue. Gentle pressure is key.
- Duration — 5–10 minutes. Use morning or evening.
- Clean after use — Wipe with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid soaking in water.
💡 Pro tip: Chill your jade roller in the fridge (not freezer) for 15 minutes before use for extra de-puffing.
🌿 Gua Sha
Best for: Facial sculpting, tension release, lymphatic drainage, jawline definition
- Start with a facial oil — Gua sha requires slip. Apply 3–5 drops of facial oil to clean skin.
- Hold at 15–30° angle — Keep the flat edge almost flush to the skin — don't drag it upright.
- Neck first — Always start with 3 downward strokes on each side of the neck to open the lymph nodes.
-
Work upward from there:
- Décolletage → neck → jaw → cheeks → forehead
- 3–5 strokes per area, always moving in one direction (not back and forth)
- Jawline sculpting — Use the notched end (if available) along the jaw for contouring.
- Under-eye area — Use very light pressure. Stroke outward from the inner corner toward the temple.
- Duration — 5–10 minutes, 3–5x per week for visible results.
- Clean after use — Rinse with cool water and pat dry.
💡 Pro tip: Some redness after gua sha is normal — it's increased circulation. Avoid if skin is broken, sunburned, or inflamed.

❓ FAQ
How often should I use these tools?
Daily use is safe for the ice roller and jade roller. Gua sha is best 3–5x per week.
Can I use these tools if I have acne?
Avoid rolling directly over active breakouts. Use around them — the tools help with inflammation but shouldn't contact open skin.
How long until I see results?
Puffiness reduction: immediately. Contouring and glow improvements: 2–4 weeks of consistent use.
Do I need all three tools?
They complement each other. The Complete Face Kit includes all three at a bundled price — the most popular option.
