Speed is not as much of a factor with facial rolling, however, it can be a great part of the routine if you have time. The roller is just a much simpler concept and can be soothing with just a quick rolling technique to activate a little energy and flow to the skin. Without the mindful approach to your deep breath, you could be skipping over an opportunity to connect with your skin’s messaging. Gua Sha is meant to be an act of self-care by slowing down your breath and allowing yourself to rhythmically contour the face with your stone of choice to release muscle tension and activate the lymphatic system. So in terms of convenience, if someone has more time, Gua Sha is the better choice, if someone has less time and needs a quick boost, use the Facial Roller? The facial roller can be a much more convenient and quick option to stimulating blood flow and draining puffiness while the gua sha can help the individual incorporate some intuitive flow to their routine, helping to go deeper while spending more time really indulging in the ritual of skincare. The first difference is obviously the shape and usage of the tool as one is on a handle to roll gently on the skin and the other one is shaped to be held in the hand as it massages along the skin’s surface. There are a few differences along with so many similarities between Gua Sha and Facial rolling but in my opinion, it just comes down to preference in modality. What is the difference between using Gua Sha and a Facial Roller?
