Skin CoLAB’s Beauty Tools: Tried, Tested & Totally Worth It

At Skin Colab, we’re all about giving your skin the same love between appointments as it gets in the treatment room. Whether you’re looking to cool, sculpt, smooth, or deeply nourish, these tried-and-true tools make it easy to upgrade your routine at home. And yes, you’ll spot many of them in our professional facials too.

Cryo Globs - Your At-Home Skin Chiller

These stainless steel globes are kept cold (store them in the fridge or a bowl of ice water) for a refreshing facial massage. Roll them gently over your face to reduce puffiness, soothe inflammation, and wake up tired skin — perfect for mornings or after a long day. Pro-Tip: After filler treatments, these can be used to reduce swelling. Be sure not to rub on the skin. We don’t want to mess up your perfectly placed filler!

How to Use: Apply a serum or facial oil, then roll the chilled globes in upward, outward motions across your face and neck.

Gua Sha - The Natural Sculpt

This smooth, flat stone tool is an ancient beauty staple that helps lift and contour your features. It works by improving circulation, relieving facial tension, and encouraging lymphatic drainage for a healthy, sculpted look. At Skin Colab, we incorporate this into facials, but you can also use light, sweeping motions with your hands or a gua sha at home for a similar effect.

How to Use: Glide the stone at a 15° angle along your jawline, cheeks, and forehead, always moving outward toward your hairline. Use gentle pressure and pair with a hydrating facial oil for slip.

Body Plane - A Detox for Your Skin

Inspired by ancient self-care rituals, the Body Plane gently exfoliates dry skin without irritation. Pair it with nourishing Riddle Oil for a glow that feels as good as it looks. Lymphatic drainage is a gentle massage technique that supports your body’s natural detox process, flushing out toxins and reducing swelling.

How to Use: Immediately after bath or shower, apply a body oil (we recommend Riddle Oil). Using medium to strong pressure, glide the Body Plane over damp, oiled skin towards the torso. Focusing on arms and legs, gently scrape away dead skin and dirt with long, steady, upward strokes. Use softer pressure and shorter strokes on the chest, torso, and neck.

Dry Brush for Body - Energize & Exfoliate

A centuries-old wellness ritual, dry brushing uses a firm-bristled brush to slough off dry skin while boosting circulation and lymphatic flow. It’s a quick, invigorating way to smooth texture and leave your skin looking and feeling refreshed from head to toe.

How to Use: Before showering, brush in long, upward strokes toward your heart, starting from your feet and working upward. Follow with a rich body oil or lotion to lock in moisture.
