Are At-Home Tools Effective For Lymphatic Drainage?
With all of this in mind, you might be questioning where those rollers and stones come into play — and if they're necessary or effective. Vargas personally considers hands to be best for lymphatic drainage, but thinks tools can be useful, too. "Tools can make it easier to deal with if someone feels they are clueless on how to do it. Plus they can be fun to use as gadgets," she said. "I, however, don't use one; hands are the best feeling on the face at night."
One benefit of facial rollers and Gua Sha tools Vargas does like, however, is their ability to temporarily relieve puffiness. They're naturally cool to the touch, which is only amplified when stored in the fridge (a favourite method of influencers and skincare junkies). And if you've ever wondered if the type of stone makes any difference — jade vs. rose quartz vs. amethyst, for example — Vargas doesn't think so. It's all in the technique.
