Jade massagers are not just a fashion statement. This is primarily a device that helps to take care of the skin, makes the daily beauty routine pleasant and useful.

A polished stone of irregular shape, often resembling a heart. Used for facial massage using the Guasha technique.

A wide variety of jade massagers and their manufacturers raises logical questions: what to look for when buying, what type to choose, how not to run into a fake. Jade is a stone of the East, it is not officially considered precious, deposits are located in many countries, therefore it has a low cost.

Even so, counterfeits are common. They are made from the following materials.

• Plastic is the lowest grade surrogate for stone. The hardest grades of plastic are selected, they are given the desired shape, after which they are painted in a color close to the stone.
• Glass is slightly higher in quality than plastic. After molding, the glass is darkened to minimize transparency, which is not typical for jade.
• Other stones are cheaper. Scammers choose different breeds. If the color does not match, a mineral with a similar structure is used and artificially colored.
• Jade chips are the most valuable and closest to the original imitation. Waste obtained during the processing of natural gems is taken, the crumb is glued together, pressed, painted.

Knowing what the massager can be made of, it is easy to determine its fake by a number of signs, which experts divide into two groups.

• External
  • Shine. Jade has a very subtle shine, similar to matte wax. Glossy shine on natural stone cannot be achieved even after long polishing, so you should not trust the sellers of too “shiny” products.
  • Transparency. Jade is impervious to light, with the exception of plates up to 2 cm thick, in this case they are translucent.
  • Structure. There are stones that are homogeneous or interspersed. More often in stores there are "patterned" minerals, their structure is heterogeneous, the pattern is intricate and unique. You can always see a pattern in a fake, since it is difficult to imitate randomness.
• Tactile
  • The weight. A real stone is massive, heavy, all analogs will be lighter.
  • Temperature. The natural mineral has good thermal conductivity, it maintains temperature for a long time. The stone in the display case will be cold, in the hands it will gradually heat up, and then slowly cool down.

Checking the external and tactile data of the stone will allow us to weed out imitations made of plastic and glass. But what if the imitation is of high quality and is made from other rocks or crumbs? A strength test will come to the rescue. Jade is not afraid of blows, scratches or heat. It is durable, and this determines its naturalness. For a mechanical check, of course, it will not be possible to hit the massager on any surface when buying, but you can draw it with a thin needle - there will be no scratches on a real stone.

The second way is to hold a stone over a lighter. A small soot will appear on the surface, which can be easily removed with a napkin. The imitation of the crumb will smell of smoke from the resin used for gluing. Knowing these little tricks, you can easily check the jade for authenticity and buy a quality massager.

The correct use of the massager is the key to effective skin care at home.

When using it, cosmetologists recommend adhering to the following rules.

• Use only on cleansed and moisturized skin. Carry out your usual daily (morning and evening) ritual: removing makeup, washing, toning, moisturizing and nourishing. Any massager will glide better on a cream or serum, and now you can find on sale special products based on various massage oils.
• Before using in the morning, the beauty accessory can be put in the refrigerator in the evening. Cooled jade stimulates blood vessels better and awakens tired skin.
• To relax and calm down, it is recommended to massage with a hot mineral; for this, the massager is placed in hot water for a few minutes, so that it has time to accumulate heat.

The scheme and technique for performing self-massage are simple. Here's a quick guide to make your facial treatment easy and effective.
