Face roller or gua sha, that is the question. While both face massaging tools have similar benefits, the main difference comes down to how quickly you want to see results and the amount of time you’re willing to spend using the tool. If you’re looking for a quick and easy way to depuff your face, reach for a roller. If you’re hoping to sculpt and contour your face shape, then grab your gua sha. Ahead, we’re breaking down the benefits of each skincare tool so you can find the right one for your schedule and needs.
We’ll start with the benefits of both:
