Jade Roller vs. Gua Sha | NO Wrinkles NO Breakouts! | aja dang 

If you would like more fat, plumpness in the face, do you think this might not be good to use?

@@rochellerusso6573 Massaging doesn't add fat to your face but helps the skin rejuvenate

So what's the difference between dry brushing and gua sha?

@@s.8186 They both help with the blood circulation and draining of the lymphatic system. Gua Sha is less irritating because the tool has a smooth edge. You can also apply more pressure with the Gua Sha tool. Dry brushing is good for the body(altho I have pretty delicate skin and even the softer bristles scratches it), but might be too irritating for the skin on the face

@@Losshe ok, now I understand. Thanks for the detailed answer :)

My skin has acne can I still use it?

girl - y'all are busy. I'm not going to waste your time with bs.

See, now this is why you are my all-time fave!

Ya like I said, I only thing Jade Roller is more popular right now because it looks prettier but the Gua Sha tool is definitely better for results.

oh I was curious what changed have you personally seen in your skin? :O

it's not painful????

Hello...can you add a bit more about the differences you felt from using both the tools and why one is better over the other? Thank you

Where do u get ur gua sha tool? I feel like the ones on amazon aren’t actual jade? Does it matter?

Please, how do you sterilize the tool after each use; since you carry it about every where you go?

How do you use a soup spoon as the shape looks quite different from the Gua Sha tool?

Elfin same way regular GuaSha

Yeah beauty companies are just marketing all of these garbage tools at all of the 20 year olds out there that don't know any better.

Elizabeth - it actually does have some benefits and it’s definitely not the same as using a spoon......

Thanks Olivia for that tip and its Cheaper

I have both and going to start doing that in my skincare routine

told ya! the jade roller is just pretty.

Cathryn Thordarson I'm really loving it so far! And I agree with staying out of the sun. Too late for me now, actively trying to correct the damage done

How do you clean it ?

I think it would be really helpful if you could show a before and after of someone older with wrinkles to see how much if any it helps.

Gua Sha isn't an acne treatment but is good to prevent acne. Gua Sha will clearing clogged pores and control acne and pimples. This will help you avoid getting breakouts. If your acne is caused by oily skin, using Gua Sha can increase skin moisture, reducing oil production and improve blood circulation, which can affect and improves your skin condition 😉

Aja Dang Acne shouldn't be touched more than neccesary though. Pimple sores being rolled over with a hard object with preassure can make your skin a lot more irritated.

I totally understand that, which is why my comment explains how it doesn't help with acne you already have but prevents you from getting further breakouts.

Aja Dang That is a good way to put it! Gua Sha can increase blood circulation from the friction and movement of the jade on the skin. However, I don't think it regulates oil production or skin moisture. Our skin is composed of natural moisturizing factors in the stratum corneum. Our skin is kept healthy by keeping a healthy skin barrier, so using a pH balanced around 5.5 and using moisturizer, perhaps with ceramides for extra skin function. The skin will produce excess sebum in response to an unhealthy skin barrier, but if the skin has sebaceous glands that are naturally very active, both tools will do nothing to regulate oil production. Therefore, they cannot help prevent further breakouts caused by oil as there is no active ingredient that can stimulate the sebaceous glands in the dermis. So, the gua sha tool and jade roller alone as a tool only help increase blood circulation. I wouldn't advise it to anyone who is prone to acne as the increased blood circulation isn't worth the risk of irritating your skin. For acne viewers not suffering from hormonal acne, I would recommend finding a pH balanced cleanser around 5.5 (cosrx has one), incorporating a chemical exfoliant such as retinoids, azelic acid, or mandelic acid to help clear and maintain the pores, and a moisturizer that isn't too heavy for the skin but not light enough where you do not get enough hydration. Btw, I am not a physician, but a 1st year medical student with a passion for skin and maintaining it 😊

Emily why are you recommending skin care routines? As a first year med you wouldn't know much about improving acne. You really wouldn't get that deep into that stuff until you get into a dermatology school.

Marina Marina- I know this reply is a year late, but I wanted to state that jade isn't just mined from one country using unethical means, there are many countries in the world that jade is mined ethically and without cruelty.

Marina Marina just keep in mind that just cuz it’s marketed as jade doesn’t mean it’s real authentic jade.

Rose quartz is an option.

my gua sha is made from rose quartz :)

How does it go against religious beliefs?

you get skin tensions either way. The way I do it, which many Asian skincare professionals do the same way as well, creates greater tension then laying it flat on your skin.

@@AjaDang Slapped down by the creator, I'm humbled lol.

Aja Dang hi, love your videos! I’m a upcoming Esthetician and I wanted to know if this would be a good tool to use as a part of my facials for my clients? Or I shouldn’t use the same tool on all my clients even though I do plan on cleaning it?

Thanks for making this video! I think that I need both tools.

Hi...thank you for the tips! would you tell us the name of your serum please?

Hello! may i post bits of this video on my instagram? i will credit you of course! thank you!

Aja Dang show to clean our gua sha? Thank you

kromatic I think Gua Sha definitely might help!

Kasvini Muniandy it's incredibly relaxing

@Felicia Garland 👍🏼😊

thank you! Gua Sha is definitely my favorite tool. I used my jade roller yesterday because my eyes were puffy though

Same. My rose quartz roller broke in the freezer. Guess it was too cold, harsh for it. Only had it 6 months tho:(. Going to get a gua aha; it seems more effective and even comfy anyway.

same hahahaha

ActuallySure luckily my Gua Sha took was only $16 but as long as your tool works, that's all that matters! You can also use a spoon!

It's absolutely incorrect. The proper way is start from the forehead and work down towards the lymph, which you were doing correctly before you were misinformed by this person.

up!!

@@anneliseloader1914 thanks a lot :)
