Croll & Denecke Facial Care Black Obsidian Roller + Wooden Gua Sha

This daily beauty ritual combines ancient traditions and modern skin care and is designed to stimulate the skin and facial muscles, boost circulation and support the skin’s vitality and radiance.

The set includes an obsidian face roller and a beech wood Gua Sha scraper. Obsidian, a volcanic glass, is known for its cool, smooth surface, which is perfect for facial massage. The beech wood Gua Sha scraper allows a targeted massage that can help boost circulation and relax the fine layers of facial fascia.

Regular use helps improve skin tone, supports the facial contour and brings out natural radiance.

How to use the facial Gua Sha

1. Cleanse the skin

• Start with freshly cleansed facial skin.
• It is best to use the Gua Sha in the evening after removing make-up and applying skin care.

2. Use a facial oil or serum

• Apply a light layer of facial oil or a slippery serum to the skin.
• This helps the tool glide better and avoids irritating the skin.

3. Hold the tool correctly

• Hold the Gua Sha at an angle of about 15° to 45° to the skin.
• Don’t press too hard – it should feel relaxing rather than painful.

4. Massage directions on the face (always from the centre outwards!)

Recommended strokes:

• Neck: from bottom to top (supports lymph flow).
• From under the jawline towards the ear.
• Cheekbones: from the nostrils towards the ear.
• Under the eyes: very gently from the inner corner of the eye outwards.
• Above the brows: from the start of the brow towards the temple.
• Forehead: from the brows upwards to the hairline.

Repeat each stroke 5–10 times.

How often to use?

• Face: 2–3 times a week (or daily once the skin gets used to it).
• Body: 1–2 times a week or as needed.

Precautions

• Do not use on broken or inflamed skin.
• Avoid areas with severe acne, rosacea or very sensitive skin (especially on the face).
• Consult a doctor if you have blood clotting disorders, recent surgery, etc.

The obsidian face roller is a great tool for facial care at home – it helps boost circulation, soothes the skin and can reduce puffiness, especially in the morning. Here is a simple guide to using it correctly and effectively.

How to use the obsidian face roller

1. Cleanse the skin

• Start with cleansed skin. Remove make-up and wash your face with your usual cleanser.

2. Apply a serum or oil

• The roller glides better if you use a facial oil, serum or moisturiser.
• This also helps the active ingredients absorb into the skin better.

3. Hold the roller correctly

• The roller is used with light upward and outward movements.

Step-by-step massage guide

Always work from the bottom up and from the centre outwards – this supports lymphatic drainage.

Neck

• Start at the neck and roll upwards to the chin.
• Do 5–10 strokes on each side of the neck.

Jawline and chin

• Roll along the jawline from the centre of the chin towards the ear.

Cheeks

• Start next to the nose and roll along the cheekbone towards the ear.

Eye area

• Use the small end and roll very gently from the inner corner of the eye outwards.
• You can also lightly roll upwards under the eye to reduce puffiness.

Brows and forehead

• Roll from the middle of the brow towards the temple.
• On the forehead, move from the brows upwards to the hairline.

TIP: Chill the roller

• Keep the roller in the fridge before use – especially in the morning.
• Cool obsidian is even better at reducing puffiness and refining the look of pores.

How often to use?

• Every day, morning or evening, for 5–10 minutes at a time.
• Can be added to your skin care routine, e.g. after applying serum.

Caution:

• Do not use on broken, inflamed or irritated skin.
• Clean the roller regularly – at least after every use (e.g. with warm water and mild soap or an antiseptic wipe).
