FAQs

The gua sha

What is a gua sha?

A flat, smooth tool that you glide over oiled skin to massage the face and neck. The gesture comes from Chinese tradition; today, people mostly use it to give themselves a relaxing moment in their beauty routine.

What's included with the Roselyse gua sha?

One heart-shaped gua sha in pink. Oil and serum are not included: use the ones you already love.

Why a heart shape?

Because each part has a job: the two rounded edges for the cheeks and forehead, the dip for the jawline and neck, the point for delicate areas like the brow bone.

What is it made of?

It has a smooth surface that feels cool to the touch. We'll state the exact material here once our quality checks are complete. [TO BE CONFIRMED]

What are its dimensions?

[TO BE CONFIRMED] We'll publish them as soon as our control samples arrive.

Gua sha or jade roller: which should I choose?

Le rouleau roule en ligne droite ; le gua sha, plat, suit mieux les courbes du visage et du cou, sans pièce mobile. Beaucoup de personnes utilisent les deux.

And compared with an electric device?

A gua sha needs no batteries or charging, makes no noise and doesn't break down. You control the movement and the pressure.

Use

How do you use a gua sha?

On clean skin, apply a few drops of oil or serum. Hold the gua sha almost flat, then glide it from the center of the face outwards and from the base of the neck up to the jawline, with light pressure. Three to five strokes per area is enough. The full step-by-step is in our guide and in the free e-book.

How long does the ritual take?

Five minutes is enough for the face and neck. You can take longer in the evening if you like.

Morning or evening?

Both work. In the morning for a fresh start to the day; in the evening for a moment of calm before bed.

How often should I use it?

A few times a week or every day, depending on how you feel and your skin. It should always feel pleasant.

Quelle huile utiliser avec un gua sha ?

Une huile végétale ou un sérum que vous utilisez déjà et que votre peau tolère bien. L'important est que le gua sha glisse sans accrocher.

Can I use it without oil?

It's not recommended: without oil or serum, the gua sha drags instead of gliding and it becomes uncomfortable.

Do I need to press hard?

No. Light pressure is enough, with the gua sha held almost flat against the skin.

Can I put it in the fridge?

Yes, a few minutes before your morning ritual, for a cooler feel. Let it return to room temperature before rinsing it in warm water.

Precautions

Can I use it if I have sensitive skin?

Yes, with very light pressure. If you have a skin condition, ask a dermatologist for advice before you start.

Are there areas to avoid?

Avoid irritated or broken skin, inflamed spots and areas that have just had a treatment or cosmetic procedure, and never go directly over the eyelids.

Is a gua sha a medical device?

No. It's a wellbeing accessory for facial and neck massage. It doesn't treat anything and doesn't replace the advice of a healthcare professional.

Can I share my gua sha?

Like a toothbrush, it's best for everyone to have their own. That's also why our offers include several.

Care

How do you clean a gua sha?

Rincez-le à l'eau tiède avec un savon doux après chaque utilisation, puis séchez-le avec un chiffon propre.

Can it go in the dishwasher?

No. Also avoid very hot water and harsh products.

How should I store it?

Somewhere dry and protected from knocks, such as a pouch or make-up bag. Like any smooth, rigid object, it can break if dropped on a hard floor.
