- Before applying skincare: The notched edge is used around the nose and cheeks to refine pores, while the V-shaped end helps improve skin elasticity. For wrinkles, a stretching and zigzagging motion is recommended.
- After applying skincare, The V-shaped edge sculpts the jawline, while the concave side smooths and enhances glow.
The goal isn’t instant transformation but rather a progressive improvement in skin texture and resilience over time, something Chanel’s research strongly supports.
At the heart of Chanel’s N°1 De Chanel line is the red camellia, a flower known for its resilience and longevity. Studied in the brand’s open-sky laboratory in Gaujacq, France, it has been found to contain high levels of protocatechuic acid, an antioxidant that plays a role in protecting skin from oxidative stress, one of the primary accelerators of visible ageing.
Chanel’s skincare research, developed in partnership with the University of Vienna, focuses on cellular senescence, the process where skin cells slow down and lose their ability to regenerate. Using advanced imaging technology, researchers have visualised how the red camellia extract helps preserve cell vitality, targeting the early stages of senescence to maintain the skin’s energy and radiance over time.
Beyond product efficacy, daily skincare rituals contribute to overall well-being. The sensory experience of applying products, the tactile movement of a gua sha tool, and the act of pausing for a moment of care all contribute to lowering stress and supporting skin function.
While beauty trends come and go, the value of consistent, mindful skincare remains unchanged. Chanel’s latest innovation doesn’t reinvent gua sha but rather refines it, blending tradition, research, and a material-conscious approach to skincare.
