Beauty buffs 'ditch' anti-ageing creams for 'ancient' £9 tool with 46,000 ratings used to tighten sagging necks for thousands of years

Beauty buffs looking to target the signs of ageing, fine lines and wrinkles are ditching expensive creams for a tool that's been used in Chinese medicine for thousands of years. When used regularly and consistently, Gua Sha tools can help to contour the cheekbones and jawline, and can help to give a younger look by promoting lymphatic drainage.

On Amazon, the BAIMEI Jade Roller & Gua Sha kit normally costs £11.99. But for a limited time, it has been slashed to under £10, and is now £9.99 for Amazon Prime customers.

Created around 2000 years ago, Gua Sha is a natural healing method that uses a smooth-edged massage tool to improve circulation and lymphatic drainage. Used by many as an anti-ageing tool, it can help to increase the production of Collagen, as well as reduce water retention, puffiness and soften wrinkles and fine lines.

In 2023, traditional Chinese medicine practicing experts Sandra Lanshin Chiu and Anna Lam told InStyle: "Facial gua sha is a relatively new 'cosmetic' treatment derived from traditional gua sha, which is practiced on the body and is an important technique in traditional Chinese medicine.

"Facial gua sha uses a smooth tool, often jade or quartz, to slowly stroke the face and neck, improving circulation and releasing tension."

When used regularly, the jade face roller provides muscle tension relief and can reduce facial puffiness. In turn, this should help your skin look fresh, firm, dewy and lifted.
