\nI didn't happen to have that particular face oil on hand, so instead, I used a different one that I already had at home: the Uncommon Beauty Face Oil ($48). I'm a fan of this product because it's vegan, and it's so lightweight that I don't have to wash it off after using it; it soaks into my skin fairly well.

Face oil isn't the only thing Jenner uses to get a great glide for gua sha - she also spritzes on the Heritage Store Rosewater ($14) before going in with a stainless steel tool. Instead, I opted for the Omorovicza Queen of Hungary Mist ($34), which is one of my favorite facial sprays for long-lasting hydration. Then, I grabbed a nameless gua sha product I had shoved in a drawer from years ago.

Jenner keeps her gua sha in a cup of ice and starts out by pressing it on her eyes. From there, she drags the tool across her jawline and down her, across her cheeks, and over each eyebrow in an upward motion three times in each section. She says that one of her eyebrows is higher than the other, so she brings one of them up very high using the tool, and the other one, she pulls more in an outward motion.

For one week, I started my morning with Jenner's gua sha regimen. I kept my gua sha in the fridge overnight, and I loved how it helped wake up my eyes and reduce puffiness. I also loved how my skin felt extra hydrated when using the oil and facial spray combination, even though I did wash them off before doing my full skin-care routine. I didn't notice a long-term difference in what my face looked like from using the gua sha, but I did see temporary benefits. My face overall looked less puffy, and my skin looked brighter, as well.

Even though my little experiment is over, I'm still going to continue using gua sha in the morning. It's a great way to get my day started, and I really love how relaxing it is. If you've been looking for a fun and easy way to start your morning and reduce puffiness, I'd recommend giving it a try. It only takes a minute, and in my opinion, self-care is worth it.
