Fact: This is the best time to step up your skincare game. Not shelling out the big bucks for bar tabs and Ubers has potentially left a little more room in your shopping budget, but you shouldn’t be spending frivolously. It’s all about investments, and if you’re in the market to treat yourself to some new products that were out of reach before, then we have a few suggestions.
When upgrading your skincare regimen, it’s always good to look to the A-list. Case in point: Vanessa Hernandez, aesthetician to the stars. She’s been credited with helping major celebrities like Gwyneth Paltrow achieve optimal skin before heading out to red carpet events. Hernandez, who is also the founder of VH Skincare, recently shared her guide to the perfect at-home facial in an interview with E!. She put emphasis on using a gua sha tool, just like this one we found from Credo Beauty. It could be the key to the ultimate self-care experience!

If you’ve never used a gua sha tool, one of its many functions is as a stone massage device to help promote skin health. This is an important part of your facial process because it can make different masks, oils and other skin treatments work more effectively. After applying a product, running the gua sha over your face helps press the oil into your skin — while both firming and reducing the appearance of puffiness!
Repeating this process for three to five minutes is essential. “This will stimulate blood circulation, all while delivering powerful antioxidants, vitamins and essential minerals and extreme hydration,” Hernandez said. In the past, we may not have had that extra couple of minutes to focus on skincare, which is why this is a great time to it a try. Now is the time to invest in yourself!
