Whether you’re a seasoned facial massage fan or new to the buccal world (that’s intraoral, for the uninitiated), there’s no denying the buzz around this technique.
Favoured by A-listers like J.L and Meghan Markle and facialists alike, buccal massage involves working not only the surface of the skin but the muscles inside the mouth too - all in the name of lifting, de-puffing and releasing deep tension.
The result? A more sculpted jawline, better circulation and a glow that looks like you’ve banked your full eight hours of sleep and had a green juice for breakfast.
But the sad truth is, not all of us can pop into a luxury facialist’s studio every other week.
The good news? With the right tools, you can bring some of the magic home. From traditional gua sha stones and kansa wands to high-tech gadgets with LED and microcurrent features, there’s now a whole world of massage tools designed to elevate your skincare routine.
Whether you want to ease tension, firm up sagging skin or simply add a soothing little ritual to your self-care regimen, the key is choosing tools that work for your face shape, routine and budget.
Some are perfect for prepping the skin before a buccal massage, while others are great for soothing and sculpting after you’ve done the deeper muscle work.
We’ve rounded up the best at-home tools for buccal massage and beyond - from £3 rollers to luxe all-in-one devices - all tried, tested and designed to help you feel a bit more lifted, rested and glowy from the comfort of your bathroom mirror.
