How To GLISSAGE™

 

 

 

WHAT is GLISSAGE™?

GLISSAGE™ is our newest invention (patents pending). It is a facial massage tool made of ice in the manner of gua sha.  It is a two part system: the water tray and the triangular GLISSAGE™. There is a third optional piece, the base that provides the tray stability in the freezer. But you can just as well use your own tumbler or drinking glass.

WHY use GLISSAGE™? 

  • Massage reduces puffiness
  • Ice reduces inflammation
  • Melting ice provides lubrication; so you don't need to use oil
  • Need more reasons? Read on! 

Yes, there are even more benefits to using GLISSAGE™. For example, if you happen to drop it and break the ice, you can just refreeze yourself a new one! If you drop a traditional gua sha you will need to buy a new one. 

Because you use fresh water for each use, you don't have to worry about germs on your gua sha. It's like using a new GLISSAGE™ each time.

HOW do I use GLISSAGE™?

There are two main things you need to do to use GLISSAGE™: 

  1. Freeze
  2. Massage

Here are the Freeze steps:

STEP
1.  Fill tray with water. The "tray" is the tall, slim container with slots on either side. Fill Tray with Water
2.  Place triangular GLISSAGE™, hole-side down, into tray  Place Glissage in Water Tray
3.  Place the assembly (tray, and put in freezer 

 

Here are the Massage steps:

STEP
1. 

Run warm water on the bottom and sides of the tray for about a minute and a half. This will help gently release ice from the tray.

PS: avoid getting water INTO the tray because that will cause ice to separate from GLISSAGE™.

2.  Stroke your face upward and outward in long strokes with the ice. Ideally, you should hold  GLISSAGE™ at a flat angle (not vertically) against your skin. 

 

What NOT to do: 

  • DON'T massage over the same area more than twice for thrice at a time. You DON'T want to freeze your skin. 
  • STOP if the massage feel uncomfortable. We designed GLISSAGE™ to feel refreshing and energizing. If it feels painful or even uncomfortable, STOP immediately.
  • DON'T use GLISSAGE™ if you are sensitive to cold or have any skin conditions that can get worse with touch.
  • DON'T use GLISSAGE™ beyond two or three minutes. Once the ice melts, don't use a second  GLISSAGE™ over the same area. 

 So there you have it. Use  GLISSAGE™ frequently, but safely, and you will have see results in no time!
