Everything to know about 레벨 스무스

What is a stainless steel gua sha?

Gua sha is a traditional massage technique in which a smooth-edged tool is glided over skin prepared with a little facial oil. Gua sha tools are made from several materials, including jade, rose quartz, resin and stainless steel. A stainless steel gua sha has a smooth, non-porous surface that is easy to wipe clean and sanitise, is far less likely to chip or crack than natural stone, and stays pleasantly cool to the touch, especially after a few minutes in the fridge. The massage is gentle, and many people find the cool stainless steel relaxing and refreshing.

Why a heart-shaped gua sha?

The heart shape gives you several tools in one. The curved centre follows the cheekbones and jawline, while the point and the straight edges are easy to guide around smaller areas. That makes REBEL SMOOTH a friendly first gua sha.

How to choose a gua sha

  • Material: stainless steel is durable and easy to keep clean, while natural stone can chip or crack.
  • Shape: a simple rounded shape is easiest when you are starting out. Several edges give you more variety.
  • Size: it should sit comfortably in your hand so you can keep the pressure light.

How to use your gua sha

  1. Start with clean skin and add a few drops of facial oil or serum so the tool glides.
  2. Hold the tool flat against your skin and glide with light to medium pressure, moving upward and outward.
  3. Work from neck to jawline, cheeks, then forehead, about 5 to 10 strokes per area.
  4. Choose the edge for the area: the short edge is a gentle option around the eye area and brows, with very light pressure; the heart-shaped centre glides along the cheekbones and jawline; the long edge suits the cheeks, forehead and neck. Then wipe the tool clean.

How often: many people use gua sha a few times a week as part of a consistent self-care routine. Use light pressure, stop if anything feels uncomfortable and listen to your skin.

Gua sha, face roller or cupping?

Gua sha is a gliding, pressing massage. A face roller is lighter and quicker, and facial cupping uses gentle suction. Many people combine them.

Care

Wash with warm soapy water after each use and dry well.

FAQ

Should it hurt? No. Use light pressure and stop if anything feels uncomfortable.

Smooth or Sculpt? Smooth has a heart-shaped centre and soft edges. Sculpt has six shaped edges for more variety.

Questions about your tool?

How often should I use it?

The “How to use” section above gives the recommended frequency for your tool. For example, the Rebel Cup is best used 2-3 times a week, with a day of rest between sessions.

Do I need a face oil or serum?

We recommend a few drops of face serum or a light facial oil on clean skin, so the tool glides smoothly.

Can I keep my tool in the fridge?

Our stainless steel tools can be used cool or warm. For an extra soothing and cooling effect, keep them in the fridge before use.
