This is a cost-effective method that provides many benefits for the user’s skin. Regardless of the current state of your face, you can consider using additional ingredients with the stone to help improve blood circulation, shrink pores, and soothe inflammation for smooth and luminous skin.
Safe facial stone massage techniques
– First, you need to clean your face before applying the stone.
– If you don’t have a stone roller, you can wrap the stone in tissue paper, fabric, or even a ziplock bag to prevent direct contact with the skin.
– If the stone directly touches the skin, the cold temperature from the stone can damage the skin’s protective barrier, leading to skin irritation, redness, cold burns, and dryness. Using an object to prevent direct contact between the face and the stone is essential.
– To achieve the best results, you should maintain a daily routine and perform the massage for about 5 to 10 minutes.
– You should gently massage the skin in circular motions on different areas such as the forehead, cheeks, and jawline. After finishing, you can continue with the remaining steps in your skincare routine.
Some stone massage methods you can try
– Spring tea: This type of tea is rich in Vitamin C and antioxidants, similar to green tea. To maximize the effect, you can wrap a stone in a thin cotton towel and gently massage it all over your skin.
– Milk: Pure milk contains vitamin A to regenerate cells and lactic acid to naturally exfoliate dead skin cells. You can soak a clean cloth in the mixture mentioned above and hold it on your entire face for 15 seconds, repeating it up to five times.
Massage your face with a frozen milk stone from the chin along the jawline to the temples, then upwards along the cheekbones, under the eyes, and horizontally on the forehead.
– Chamomile tea: You can use a cold compress made from cotton and chamomile tea and apply it to the eyes for a few minutes. Alternatively, you can wrap a stone in cotton and slide it from the corner of the eye upwards along the eyebrows in circular motions.
Some benefits you should know
Better absorption of skincare products: If you apply serums to your face before the stone massage, it will help these ingredients penetrate deeper into the skin.
Reduce dark circles and treat acne: While bacteria are the basic cause of dark circles and acne, a little cold can help reduce pain and inflammation by constricting blood vessels.
Alleviate rosacea: If you struggle with rosacea, experts advise against applying anything too hot or cold to the face.
Eliminate eye bags: Use a cold compress made from cotton and chamomile tea or wrap a stone in cotton and slide it from the corner of the eye upwards along the eyebrows in circular motions.
Soothe sunburn: Applying a cold stone to the skin, especially on the face, can not only relieve pain but also reduce the occurrence of inflammation after sun exposure.
Combat skin aging: To quickly address your concerns about aging, the cold stone massage therapy can temporarily minimize the appearance of wrinkles.
