You Can Now Massage And Depuff Your Face With This Chanel Tool
You say "gua sha", we say "gua-Chanel"
Can you even call it self-care if there’s no facial massage involved? Chanel thinks not. Enter its pro-level hack for applying the cult-fave N°1 de Chanel Revitalising Serum, plus the shiny new Red Camellia Cream. An iteration of the original Revitalising Cream, this plumper comes with a breezy gel-cream texture that’s perfect for sweaty-weather days. Both drop at Chanel Fragrance and Beauty boutiques on January 3, 2025.
The Red Camellia Cream ($193 for 50g) is loaded with red camellia extract – Chanel’s not-so-secret magic potion for tackling senescence (a fancy term for how your skin ages) – and, for the first time, camellia ceramide.
This lightweight skincare powerhouse keeps your skin looking flawless, boosting elasticity, strengthening the skin barrier, and said to deliver up to 12 hours of hydration without the dreaded sticky feel. It also contains oligopeptides to stimulate collagen and hyaluronic acid production, delivering anti-wrinkle and firming action.
The receipts? Chanel’s research shows that after two months of use, wrinkles and pores are reduced by 30 per cent, elasticity improves by 51 per cent, and skin becomes 46 per cent more radiant and 60 per cent smoother.
The Red Camellia Cream features a less sticky gel-cream texture.
Enhance your self-care routine with Chanel’s modern take on gua sha, a centuries-old tool known for muscle-soothing and detoxifying benefits. Chanel’s version goes beyond tradition, crafted to boost the N°1 de Chanel ritual by targeting wrinkles, elasticity, pores, and radiance.
This facial massage tool ($69) is eco-friendly, crafted from over 85 per cent bio-based materials including camellia seed husks and FSC-certified wood by-products. Its organic cotton protective pouch is GOTS-certified, the globally recognised textile processing standard for organic fibres, incorporating ecological and social criteria.
The massage accessory is drenched in the signature N°1 de Chanel red.
Before applying, target those pores by using the notched edge of the accessory on the nose and cheeks with some up-and-down strokes, followed by horizontal, outward smoothing movements. For that extra elasticity, twist the skin on the lower face with the V-shaped end.
To tackle wrinkles, stretch the skin on each wrinkle and go to town with the pointed tip for zigzag moves. Apply the serum and cream, then smooth things out with your hands. After applying, grab the V-shaped end along the jawline, from chin to ear, and use the concave part to amp up that radiance.
