cupping, dermaroller and gua sha – a complete guide to better skin
Something has changed in the way we work with skin.
It's no longer just about products.
But about techniques.
Movement.
Stimulation.
Repetition.
Cupping, dermaroller, and gua sha are three different ways of working with the skin – and when used correctly, they can complement each other.

Why use beauty tools?
Skin is alive.
It reacts to:
- blood circulation
- fluid
- tension
Beauty tools help activate the processes that already exist in the skin.
Not by forcing anything – but by stimulating.
Cupping – when skin needs a wake-up call
Cupping uses a light vacuum to lift the skin.
It:
- increases blood circulation
- reduces puffiness
- adds glow
It's the most "active" technique of the three.

How to use cupping
Always start with:
✔ cleansed skin
✔ oil or serum
Move the cup:
- upwards
- outwards
- in gliding motions
👉 Avoid holding it still – this can cause marks
When is cupping most beneficial?
- in the morning
- for puffiness
- when skin feels tired
The effect is often quick – but still natural.
Dermaroller – letting skin do the work itself
The dermaroller works in a completely different way.
Instead of massage, it creates microscopic stimulation in the skin.
This can:
- improve skin texture
- increase product absorption
- stimulate the skin's own renewal

How to use a dermaroller correctly
This is where many go wrong.
✔ use on clean skin
✔ roll lightly – don't press
✔ work in sections
Afterwards:
👉 use soothing products
👉 avoid makeup immediately after
How often?
- 1–2 times a week is enough
- skin needs time to recover
More is not better here.
Gua sha – the gentle technique
Gua sha is slow.
Controlled.
It works with:
- lymphatic drainage
- tension
- texture
→ Face gua sha

What does gua sha do?
It helps to:
- reduce puffiness
- release tension in the jaw and forehead
- create a more defined feeling in the face
Not dramatic – but noticeable.
Gua sha for the body
The technique can also be used on the body:
→ Body gua sha

Here it works with:
- tension
- musculature
- blood circulation
Face roller – the simple finish
The face roller is the simplest tool.
But also the most underrated.

When do you use it?
It works perfectly:
- after cupping
- after dermaroller
- after gua sha
It:
- calms the skin
- reduces redness
- restores balance
How to combine all tools
You don't need to use everything every day.
A good routine could be:
Daily:
- face roller
- gua sha
1–3 times a week:
- cupping
1–2 times a week:
- dermaroller
What can you expect?
Not new skin.
But:
- more glow
- less puffiness
- a more even surface
These are small changes – that build up over time.
Typical mistakes
- too much pressure
- too frequent use
- lack of oil
- too high expectations
👉 This is not a quick fix
👉 It's a process
The most important thing
Consistency.
Not intensity.
5 minutes a day does more than 30 minutes once.
✨ It's not about doing more.
Just about doing it right.
