I can't help but laugh at all the comments about the Dr.'s hair being down. Who cares! The point of the video was how to use these products. Worry about your own hair and if you prefer having it up. Geez People. Complainy Birds
Actually, I don't think those folks are "Complainy Birds"...folks are looking to get instructions and the hair was getting in the way of her tool. She kept having to move it out of the way. Why not take some suggestions from your viewers and put your hair up the next time so that you don't have to stop your motion to move the hair away? My first time viewing and I thought she did a good job but truthfully, because of the hair action, I thought she cared more about how her hair looked so this will be it for me.
Hi Dr. Mona. I discovered this video two days ago (together w/your video on facial massage) and I decided to dust off my facial roller and gua sha and give them a try. I bought these devices a few years ago and--given my skepticism about everything--I pretty much forgot about them. I watched your video (just for fun) and I followed your rolling, etc., recs religiously yesterday morning and this morning. I was super excited that I could breathe out both nostrils throughout the day after the rolling! Yay! At any rate, at work today a co-worker said to me, "Wow, what did you do? You look so different. So good!" Well, I forgot about the rolling, etc., and mentioned that I'd had my hair colored over the weekend. My coworker (20 years my junior) shook her head and said, "No, not that." She kept looking at my face. Then, she just smiled and shrugged. It couldn't possibly be the roller/gua sha, right? Not after two days, and yet... Wow, I'm hooked. All the best. BTW, I'm in my 60's.
If this is the only video you watch, I really suggest you go find some more videos. She's not finishing the movement, not pushing the lymph all the way out with the roller. It should either be directed down the neck like she showed, or directed to the top of the rear across the temple
Gua Sha is much better than J roller. It really makes your skin glow if you do it right. Also is much cheaper. Thanks to Mona for different ideas of using gua sha. Very high quality content! Love ya.
I got my kit (jade gua sha and roller) from Ross for $7.99 out of curiosity. Never used it, I had no idea how. Sat in my vanity drawer for a year. Looked it up today for the first time. Thank you for the technique video.
@@Londya nooope, south-asian magic :)) she's probably wearing mascara or has lash extensions but brows like that are normal to have naturally from her half Persian side
@@foodiekamini299 I bought a gua sha. It gives immediate firming and it minimizes my forehead wrinkles. It isn't permanent though. But with continuous use, it might give longer-lasting tightening/firming.
I have a question about the direction of Gua Sha on the neck. With regards to the neck, why is the Gua Sha used in an upward motion compared to the jade roller in a downward motion? Thank you so much! Gina
I wondered that too. Everything else I've seen emphasises downward motion for lymphatic drainage. You always want to be moving lymph towards the heart.
I think it's to do with tightening the skin and preventing wrinkles. It's a trade off between lymphatic drainage and firming the skin... :/ I think what I'll do it upwards first, to firm the neck, and then finish of downwards to encourage drainage. Let me know anyone if this is really wrong xD
i’ve seen a lot of models and celebrities do this, and they are not as gentle, and i don’t think they understand how to properly use it. so thank you for teaching us the right way!
Thank you, this was super helpful because of your demo 😘 And you can use these with serums too (works best before moisturizer or with lighter moisturizer), esp. mornings/before makeup, if you don’t like to use greasy oil. Jade Roller works very well with sheet masks too, and help all ingredients & hydration sink in better.

Gua sha all the way for both drainage and lift! I tend to wake up with puffy eyes and cheeks, and the gua sha is the best for me to get the fluid moving.
Your videos are always so informative, could you please link your favorite tools and oil? I usually research the best products (which can take hours) but I trust your judgment on beauty products and watching your video helps save me time on knowing which products are best.
I heard that when we are doing a lymphatic drainage we should work on the whole left side of the face and then the whole right side. Not jump from left to right again and again. Is that really a big matter of concern, doctor? Thank you for this video. 🤗
What is the best way to clean the tools after using them?? LOVE this video, I’ve had a jade roller for a year or two now but my step mom recently gifted me a gua sha tool and I wasn’t sure how to use it so this was super helpful!!!
Future pharmacist here... I LOVE your channel. Any tips on staying healthy with a crazy study/work schedule. Between internship, rotations and studying for Naplex it’s hard
Just wanted to say congrats keep up the good work chica! Im sure youll make an amazing pharmacist. Hectic schedules always so draining but what helps me is drinking lots of herbal and green teas, yoga and MEDITATION. I cant stress the wonders of all three but especially yoga n meditation. Be blessed.
Thanks for showing the massaging process. My question is how often do we need to clean the roller, after every use? And is it just a wipe down or with water? Thanks, Swathi.
Great video and demonstration. Thank you 🙂. I would like to know, how to properly care and cleanse a Jade Roller? And how often should it he cleansed..
Thanks, very helpful! Curious how you can use the roller during regular skincare routine (rather than just with an oil)....can you use after you apply serum and moisturizer? Or does it have to be an oil?
Hi Dr mona, in your igtv with Lauren from the skinny confidential you guys mentioned that when jade rolling around the eyes to bring it down the sides of the nose, is this still correct as I started to do that! Great video BTW x
Can I use the gua sha if I have acne prone skin? Should I avoid using it if I have a pimple? Or does it no matter? I’m scared of distributing bacteria if I do this ritual while I have a pimple
On your neck, use upward movements with the Gua Sha and downward movements with the jade roller?? For lymphatic drainage, I thought you would have to go downwards.
Hey Dr. Vand! Thank you so much for this. I’m a bit confused, why does the gua sha to go up but the jade roller go down, when both are for lymphatic drainage?
Please tell me; is there a significant reason we should wiggle the gua sha tool at the end of each stroke? Or is it not necessary? Thank you for your time and awesome help ;>
Glad to see products are being named. I will look into Honest oil and the Murad mist. Is there a particular jade roller that anyone could recommend? Dr. V?
@@sirenenoire4091 not really "cheap "... but manageable affordable ;)…. when a kit with 3 objects costs 100 dollars...and in China you could get it for 5 to 15 dollars... well….not really cheap
I created a Facebook group to share holistic beauty and wellness experiences, tips, and news: facebook.com/groups/544524792986237/ I'd absolutely love it if any fans of Gua Sha join to keep the conversation going!
Do you recommend jade over rose quartz or is there a difference? This was a great video and I appreciate it coming from you and not just a beauty guru!
Jade is a softer stone so in terms of durability rose quartz lasts longer. But I don’t think there’s a HUGE difference in terms of what they do for your skin
The best skin care with castor oil will be to swallow a good dose (1/2 oz = 15 ml) regularly, this the best early in the morning not having breakfasted, for the Chinese medicine knows upon the assignment: skin --> bowels.
Yes, this would be too harsh unfortunately. You don't want to aggrevate inflamed lesions... You could keep the Gua Sha in the freezer and press it gently onto inflammation to reduce the swelling.
BarntheFarmer no it will not be too harsh on acne. Just go easy. With time, gua sha is supposed to help clear acne and move the fluids and knots in the face.
Hi Mona, thanks for a detailed tutorial on the use of both tools. Have you also tried The uplift roller (Nurse Jamie)? I wonder if the technique you show for the Jade roller would also apply there?
I just bought mine today on Sephora it was like the 38 dollar mini one even tho I wanted the bigger one and amethyst stone but the point is don’t get the false ones cause it won’t even last in your fridge the cold will go away quick , buy one with real jadeite or nephrite
vanessa Luna I got mine at Tj Maxx(cheap one) and I have been using for a week, and today I notice my neck is looking slimmer, I guess no matter is cheap or not, it works
I bought 2 different surface of oval roller shape in 1 + gua sha + another roller in round shaped for 3$, quality is fucking good and may be made out of porcelain or Stone , I have no idea so i just use however i want with each 😭

Actlly u cn use gua sha downward if u dont wnt to lift ur neck. It dsnt matter tho. If u dnt care about liftng ur neck then use it downward
The lymph node is below the ear lobe too
i’ve seen a lot of models and celebrities do this, and they are not as gentle, and i don’t think they understand how to properly use it. so thank you for teaching us the right way!
Sarah Roloff how do you know this is the right way?
Thank for this, please can you do a video on wrinkles under the eye? What’s best to use and how to prevent further creasing. Many thanks

I’m an esthetician for Murad - I use this spray throughout the day and especially before my jade roller routine in the morning 😀
i love murad! it’s helped my skin so much
Hi, what are your views on microneedling? Does it work?
Thank you! This is the most comprehensive video I’ve seen on how to use the tools & why.
This is super helpful. I've been thinking that I wanted to Jade roller and then I found a bunch of Gua Sha videos and now I'm really indecisive
Gua sha all the way for both drainage and lift! I tend to wake up with puffy eyes and cheeks, and the gua sha is the best for me to get the fluid moving.
Carina Oliveira Does it work for you?

Dr. Mona, please provide link to the oil and the spray you have used in this video thank you.
So jade roll goes down the neck that makes sense for drainage, but then the gua sha goes up the neck so doesn’t that counter act the drainage?
Yes. I was wondering the same thing.
Samee
Amira L we r suppose to use the jade mornings and gua sha at night??..maybe it makes a difference 🤷🏽♀️
You should each once a day at different times rather than combining the treatment.
I heard that when we are doing a lymphatic drainage we should work on the whole left side of the face and then the whole right side. Not jump from left to right again and again. Is that really a big matter of concern, doctor?
Thank you for this video. 🤗
Precious Girl please reply to this comment doctor
The original (very old) technique is right to left. It’s said to give better drainage results.
What is the best way to clean the tools after using them?? LOVE this video, I’ve had a jade roller for a year or two now but my step mom recently gifted me a gua sha tool and I wasn’t sure how to use it so this was super helpful!!!
Soap.
Water and soap is best
Warm water n dish soap.
Rinse well be careful itusnt slip off from your hand
Great video, what a beauty she is, and who cares if her hair is up, always a few with nasty comments!!
This honestly gave me a beautiful bone structure presence. I didn’t even use all of these techniques.
In how many days it starts working

First time viewer! This stuff must really work because you have glowing skin! Really beautiful!
Thank you for addressing the oil viscosity. I made the mistake of using an oil that was way too thick and didn’t work.
Great tutorial! Thank you! Should I clean the oil off of my tools when finished? And, if so, what should I use facial wash, makeup removal cloth, or?

is it recommended to do jade roller before or after applying skincare products? do you suggest to do once a day or twice?

Very informative video, Mona! Question: Do you think a jade or rose quartz roller wields better results--or does it not matter? Thanks so much!
I would to know this too
So much great info. This video was very helpful and you're stunning Dr. Vand!
Both do pretty much the same thing. I have both and gave cups. I use all of them. All very helpful.
Such a great explanation of both tools
I'm so jealous of people that can put anything on their face and No breakouts 😭.. if I lightly sprayed/put anything on my face instant irritation 😝
April try Avene mist spray, I have rosacea & it doesn’t irritate my skin.
You always have the best videos! I got my skincare routine dialed in thanks to you!
I use my Gua Sha as a way to help me ease my anxiety. Do you think there are any concerning issues if I use it daily and through out the day?
Thanks, very helpful! Curious how you can use the roller during regular skincare routine (rather than just with an oil)....can you use after you apply serum and moisturizer? Or does it have to be an oil?
Really enjoy the jade roller....is it me, or do I feel drainage behind my throat ?
I do feel something .
Yes its true you can feel it

hey from where u purched ur jade roller?
as i am very afraid of purchasing bcz many fake companies are there
so can u share link pls
Dr. Mona looking great your health and beauty protocol is definitely paying dividends
Do we need to do these massages everyday or occassionally?
Everyday 😊
Hi Dr mona, in your igtv with Lauren from the skinny confidential you guys mentioned that when jade rolling around the eyes to bring it down the sides of the nose, is this still correct as I started to do that! Great video BTW x

Can I use the gua sha if I have acne prone skin? Should I avoid using it if I have a pimple? Or does it no matter? I’m scared of distributing bacteria if I do this ritual while I have a pimple
She is really beautiful with very beautiful skin🥰
most credible demonstration vid thus far. thanks

Please do a video on facial exercises!
Is there a difference between the jade or rose quartz?
@@M-WG Thank you!!!:-)
To be clear, most of the jade rollers are not true jade stone. They are a simulated jade which is much cheaper. Real jade is very rare . Much love! 💓
Hi
Which is better jade or rose quartz? Or does it not really matter?
Thanks
Hey Dr. Vand! Thank you so much for this. I’m a bit confused, why does the gua sha to go up but the jade roller go down, when both are for lymphatic drainage?
I was wondering the same.
There are lymph nodes below the ear lobes as well
She did say why
The neck lymphatic must go towards the clavicle
Please tell me; is there a significant reason we should wiggle the gua sha tool at the end of each stroke? Or is it not necessary? Thank you for your time and awesome help ;>
What's with the wiggle
What type of oil did you use? I learn so much from all of your videos!!
Glad to see products are being named. I will look into Honest oil and the Murad mist. Is there a particular jade roller that anyone could recommend? Dr. V?
There is a link under her video for a (imo) crappy one, but there are way better sets that include both on Amazon for under $20
I see stainless steel gua sha and roller which I though is a brilliant idea. Does the material matters? Will stainless steel ones be as effective?
Is it better to do this in the morning or at night? Or both?
Can i jade rolling my eye balls when closing my eyes?
Can you suggest which one is best and real jade roller in the market?
How do you clean these implements after use? How do u store these. Thank u. Great instruction
I have noticed my skin is brighter and a little bit more oily,
Do not touch the applicator to your face and then put it back into the product, it contaminates the product. Hope this helps.
Better to tie up your hair n use a hand band when showing usage of any facial stuff
Do we really need these products? Isn’t the face massage done with the hands enough ?
It actually works. And it’s cheap.
@@sirenenoire4091 not really "cheap "... but manageable affordable ;)…. when a kit with 3 objects costs 100 dollars...and in China you could get it for 5 to 15 dollars... well….not really cheap

Jade is a softer stone so in terms of durability rose quartz lasts longer. But I don’t think there’s a HUGE difference in terms of what they do for your skin
I have lines on my forehead, so what direction I should use my Gua Sha and Jade rollers?
Can I do roller in the morning and gua sha before sleep? Also does it have to be every day to see the results?
Thanks for the information. Why with the Gua Sha do we go up the neck instead of down ?
The best skin care with castor oil will be to swallow a good dose (1/2 oz = 15 ml) regularly, this the best early in the morning not having breakfasted, for the Chinese medicine knows upon the assignment: skin --> bowels.
Mam,can we use this roller under eyes?
It's relaxing just watching you doing it :) love it
I have a lot of acne bumpy's would the gua sha be to harsh using on my skin
Yes, this would be too harsh unfortunately. You don't want to aggrevate inflamed lesions...

A big hug from Portugal.
What does the wiggling at the end of the gua sha movement do, Mona?
Sara Yates it’s for massage/ relaxation purposes :)
Waking up the lymph gland to assist it in cleansing toxins/excess fluids from your system
Would you advise using lavender oil?
is extra virgin coconut oil from the grocery store ok for this process on the face and body? thank you!! very helpful

Great video. How often should you use the Jade roller?
go to the spa, human touches trumps all tools for the face.
I bought 2 different surface of oval roller shape in 1 + gua sha + another roller in round shaped for 3$, quality is fucking good and may be made out of porcelain or Stone , I have no idea so i just use however i want with each 😭
