Selection and use of quartz facial massagers

Quartz facial massagers are at their peak of popularity today. Especially often photo and video images of these beauty devices are found on social networks.

Quartz facial massager, in fact, is a Chinese tool for healing the dermis, which has been around for several thousand years. However, its heyday in the beauty industry began only in 2017, when blogger Marianne Hewitt told her audience about such a device. In September of the same year, Herbivore introduced rollerballs in rose quartz and jade, and other brands followed. A massage roller is made of natural quartz - a smooth and cool natural stone that has not been processed. It is very pleasant to the touch, smooth and cool, looks extremely aesthetically pleasing due to its translucency and natural patterns.

The main purpose of using the device is to improve blood circulation, relieve swelling and relax the clamps, and, therefore, to carry out a facelift. In addition, the ability of natural stone to maintain a chill for a long time creates a significant drainage effect.

Despite the fact that massage with a quartz device is mostly safe, People suffering from rosacea, rosacea, psoriasis and rashes are advised to consult their doctor before starting the procedure. It is believed that the massager is able to activate these inflammations and even provoke new problems. Even with the permission of a specialist, you will need to use the beauty tool with great care, only lightly touching the surface of the face. It is also not recommended to use the device with fillers or after botox. - a regular blood flow, on the contrary, will contribute to the breakdown and elimination of the drug from the body.

Reasons to refuse the procedure include thyroid diseases, hernias, inflammation and even dental problems. It is impossible to process the face with the instrument and in the presence of a large number of moles and dilated vessels. Massagers are suitable for people over 20 years old, although they are usually recommended for owners of mature skin.

Quartz massagers may be different, but they still work according to the same principle.

Ordinary rose stone massagers can be divided into directly rollers and gua sha scrapers. The first ones have one or two rotating parts fixed on a comfortable handle: the small one is used to work out the delicate areas under the eyes and around the nose, and the large one - for the rest of the face. They promote vasodilatation, smoothing of wrinkles and better "introduction" of care substances into the dermis.

Guache scrapers are more versatile due to their shape. With the help of the plate, it is possible to regulate the force of pressure on the surface, which means, to work out deeper muscles and act on biologically active points. The benefits of such a massager are also increased due to the ability to use it not only for the face, but also for the whole body. Guasha are the most budgetary representatives of "stone massagers" and are available in different shapes and sizes.

The main difference between conventional and vibrating quartz massagers is the creation of sound vibrations. The vibrations that arise during use enhance the effect of force on the skin, that is, the muscles relax more, and the skin, on the contrary, is tightened. The vibrating massager also looks a little different: as a rule, only a vibrating head is made of rose quartz, and aluminum is used to create a reliable handle. Such devices, powered by a conventional finger-type battery and equipped with a miniature switch, should be used on cleansed, and then moistened skin.

Prices for quartz massagers can vary quite a bit, but when buying a sample that is too cheap, it is important to understand that it is most likely a fake. Real quartz simply cannot cost little, and therefore, instead of it, some unscrupulous sellers slip some polymer or even acrylic onto the buyer. To check the authenticity of the purchased beauty instrument, it is enough to lightly scratch its surface with a needle or knife. The appearance of scratches, as a rule, indicates a fake. Natural quartz is so strong that the impact of the same needle will not harm it, plus, it is very difficult to break it. It will also be possible to identify a fake if you remember that the rollers made of real material remain cool for a long time.

Some people don't understand the difference between quartz and jade massagers as they look very similar. It really makes sense to give preference to a pink stone, because the hardness of this material is higher, which means that it will better resist various influences of the external environment. However, it is the jade massager that is sometimes supplemented with a serrated attachment that presses more strongly on the skin, and therefore more effectively affects it.

You can massage with a quartz device both in the morning and in the evening.... At the beginning of the day, it perfectly wakes up the skin and "erases" the swelling and creases formed during the night. The evening procedure relaxes the facial muscles and helps smooth out wrinkles. Massage should be done after cleansing the skin of the face. Further, according to the execution technique, you can nourish the skin with toner, serum, cosmetic oil or moisturizer, because the roller can improve their penetration into the skin. In addition, the nutritious mass will provide a smoother glide - a dry roller sometimes pulls and jerks the surface of the face, which, on the contrary, contributes to the appearance of creases and wrinkles.

The scheme of the procedure itself, in principle, is similar to that used with other massagers: Quartz is lightly pressed on the skin and is guided along the massage lines, that is, areas of lower skin resistance, protecting it from stretching. From the center of the chin, you need to move to the earlobe, from the middle of the forehead to the temples, and from the eyebrows to the hair. Movement from the corners of the lips is directed towards the center of the ear, and from the wings of the nose - upward.

Additionally, it is worth treating the area around the eyes, as well as the neck, with a small clockwise roller, moving from bottom to top with gentle movements. The lower eyelid is massaged from the outer corner to the nose, and the upper eyelid is massaged from the nose to the tail of the eyebrows. By the way, it is even recommended to work out the neck first to open the lymphatic drainage channel. On the sides, the movement goes from the lower jaw to the collarbones, and in the center - up to the chin. During the procedure, the area of ​​the thyroid gland should be avoided.

When performing any movement, you do not need to stop or retreat. Massaging should always be carried out in one direction, since the rotation of the rollers back and forth leads to twitching and even stretching of the epidermis. This facial treatment takes no more than 5-10 minutes, but you need to arrange it regularly, at least once every three days. It is worth mentioning that to enhance the drainage effect, the quartz fixture can be previously kept in the refrigerator for several minutes. During the massage, if a pronounced discomfort appears, it is better to pause the procedure. You can't put too much pressure on your face.otherwise you can bruise and damage delicate capillaries.

The used roller must be cleaned: first washed with soapy water at room temperature and then dried naturally on a dry towel or even simply wiped dry. The quartz device should be rinsed after each use, but if it has metal parts, then this should not be done under running water. The massager should not be watered with hot water, nor should it be soaked for a long time. To maintain the integrity of the instrument, do not expose it to cleaning agents or chemicals.

It is worth adding that working with guache is carried out in a similar way, but the scraper must be kept in one position - flat edge down... It should be moved in smooth movements up to the temples. In no case should you touch the skin around the eyes - there is a small roller for this. The procedure with gouache is carried out faster in time, not exceeding 3-5 minutes.

In general, reviews of quartz facial massagers indicate that these devices are insanely aesthetic, they are very pleasant to use, but one cannot expect any outrageous results. Indeed, regular massage has a lymphatic drainage effect and relieves puffiness, but there is not much sense in expecting the disappearance of dark circles under the eyes or narrowing of pores.

The device copes with muscle relaxation and can even come to the rescue in case of a headache, but it does not always cope with deep wrinkles.As for the opinion of cosmetologists, they agree that this equipment is able to stimulate lymph circulation and relax tired muscles. The only condition is that the procedure should always be carried out in accordance with the massage lines.
