If you are still searching for that tool like us, we have created a list of 5 trending beauty tools that you must try.  After all, they are trending for a reason. 

Facial Ice Rollers

This beauty tool has been popping around TikTok like crazy. You might think rubbing ice on your face is odd, but it can help with morning face puffiness and skin redness. Moreover, a lot of TikTok skincare gurus have been using other liquid ingredients, instead of plain water, in the ice roller for more skin benefits. It is for sure a great pick me up on those groggy mornings! Make sure to wet the ice before placing it on your face in order for it to glide smoothly. Otherwise, it could irritate the skin!

Here is a link to an Ice Roller on amazon, but there are tons of options. There are different shapes, colors, and sizes.

Silicone Facial cleansing Brushes

Most of us have seen tons of cleansing brushes. However, the most popular ones are the ones with brush bristles that spin. These bristles can be harsh on one’s skin and damage the skin barrier. That’s why silicone brushes are a better option and help efficiently cleanse the skin in a gentle manner. Not only that, but bristle brushes tend to retain humidity and bacteria, while silicone does not create a happy environment for these germs. Thus, the brushes with bristles might make you break out more instead of helping your skin. 

Here is an example of a silicone facial brush product on amazon.

Gua Sha

At this point, you’ve probably heard of the famous Gua Sha. If you haven’t, now is your chance to learn about this magnificent tool that originates from traditional Chinese medicine. The Gua Sha is a natural alternative therapy that involves massaging and pulling your skin to improve your circulation. This tool also breaks up the tension due to stagnation from water retention, muscle tightness, and other congestion. Although the Gua Sha can be used all over the body, it is mainly used for the face. 

Although you can find the Gua Sha in many places, it is better to buy them from Asian-owned businesses. Here’s a link to one.
