My Honest Experience After Using the Face Fascia Blaster & Gua Sha Tool Consistently…
I recently started Fascia Blasting a few days prior to turning 40 back in September 2021. Initially, I thought the fascia blasting tools were all about smoothing out the fascia of the body, and reducing the appearance of cellulite, but I quickly learned these tools address so much more…
The package I chose to purchase from the company’s website when first starting my Fascia Blasting journey included the Face Blaster. I came across several before and after pics, on the Fascia Blaster Facebook group page I joined when I was researching these tools, that showed some pretty impressive results from blasting the face and neck area. So, I decided to really focus on this area to see if I could get similar results, as well.
I had already started using a jade Gua Sha tool I purchased from Osea on a daily basis a few weeks prior to receiving my face blaster tool, and I was happy to find that the Fascia Blaster company recommends using a similar tool after blasting to help flush the area after blasting. I decided to commit to a face and neck routine for a few weeks, to see if I would notice results. And after just a couple of weeks I DID actually notice a difference. The changes are very subtle, likely because I didn’t have any major areas that needed addressed. However, I had started to notice the “11s”, those 2 perpendicular lines that start to stay as wrinkles between your eyebrows from furrowed brows, hanging around even when my face was relaxed with no expression. This is where I’ve noticed the biggest difference.

After a few short weeks, those pesky “11s” would only stick around on my more stressful, emotional days, and were no longer noticeable on regular days. My skin looked smoother and more radiant, my under eye area that has always been one of my problem areas started to improve, and I felt more comfortable wearing less makeup. I was so excited to share this with the Fascia Blaster Facebook group, and I received tons of positive feedback and questions wanting me to share the details of my routine, as well as requesting a video of what exactly I did during my face and neck routine.
So, I reluctantly made my first ever “tutorial” video, and shared it on the group page. I’m not a huge, “must wear makeup at all times” kinda person, but I never thought I’d post a video of myself with no makeup on in a Facebook group with over 400,00 members. However, doing this routine, and the results I was noticing, made me feel more comfortable and confident about the way I looked without wearing any makeup.
My Routine & Products I Used
It is recommended by the Fascia Blaster company that you use some sort of oil, or a similar type of product, to achieve a smooth glide when using the Fascia Blaster tools on your skin. The company has grown to the point that they now offer their own line of skincare products, which I love using the Blaster Oil prior to blasting my body, but I use other products for my face and neck routine.
The Products…

- Honey Grail ultra-hydrating face oil made by Farmacy https://amzn.to/3IHg57f (this particular face oil is very thick, but I like the consistency for my skin type)

The Routine…
- Thoroughly clean your face
- Apply eye cream all around the eyes
- Next apply the face oil generously on forehead, nose, cheeks, and chin
- Finally, apply coconut oil on neck/décolleté/shoulders
- Use light to medium pressure using the Face Fascia Blaster to address the décolleté, shoulders, neck
- Then blast along the jawline and across the chin and around the mouth
- Move on to blasting the rest of the face and forehead (I avoid the cheeks, because I want them to remain full)
- Spend extra time in areas you want to address specific concerns, such as laugh lines or the “11s”
- Move on to blasting all along the scalp to reduce tension, release fascia, increase circulation
- Finish up by flushing the area using the jade Gua Sha tool, remembering to move the lymph towards the lymph nodes
The Initial Results…
I committed to doing this routine at least 3 to 4 times a week for several weeks, but noticed a difference in my skin after just the first few times of doing it. The entire routine takes me generally about 15 minutes from start to finish, and it is well worth the results, in my opinion. After just 6 weeks, I shared my first before and after face photos in the Facebook blasting group page, and at that time I shared how I only noticed those “11s” hanging around on particularly stressful days.
6 Months Later…
Now that I have been doing this routine fairly consistently for about 6 months, I noticed something new to share. These are my exact words from my Facebook post I recently shared in the Fascia Blaster Group…
“Hi All!! I just noticed an exciting change looking in the mirror last night.. I had recently started noticing the “11s” popping up right when I turned 40 in September. It was right at the exact same time I finally decided to give blasting a try, and ordered my first kit. Honestly, I hadn’t even heard of the phrase the “11s”, until joining this group LOL. Anyway, here I am 6 months later, and I noticed they are gone!! They reappear on extra stressful/emotional days, at times. But even yesterday, after having a very emotional and stressful day, lots of tears and all, I couldn’t see a trace of them!!”…

YEP… even after having an extremely stressful day, including quite a bit of crying, I STILL didn’t notice those “11s” hanging around anymore. These results are too exciting not to share!! I hope you experience similar results, if you decide to give this routine a try. Please leave a comment, sharing your experience with these products or tools, or with any questions you might have that we didn’t cover in this post. We look forward to hearing from you!!
