Tutorial Library

Small techniques for everyday beauty care.

Use these concise guides as a starting point, then adjust the pace and pressure to your personal comfort and the instructions supplied with your tool.

Facial Roller Gentle start

Cool, glide and reset

Apply comfortable slip, support the skin lightly and guide the roller with slow outward movements without pressing or dragging.

Clean the roller before it touches the face. Use short passes rather than repeated forceful strokes. Wash and dry the tool after the ritual.
Gua Sha Technique focus

Slip, angle and feather-light movement

Keep the tool nearly flat against comfortably lubricated skin and move with a light, controlled touch rather than scraping.

Start with clean skin, hands and tool. Support the skin and avoid sensitive or irritated areas. Stop if the movement feels uncomfortable.
Cleansing Device Routine basics

Dampen, dispense and guide

Pair the device with a compatible cleanser, begin on the gentlest suitable setting and avoid holding it in one place for too long.

Follow the device-specific use and charging guidance. Move continuously with minimal pressure. Rinse and dry removable contact surfaces carefully.
Makeup Brushes Application

Load, tap and build gradually

Pick up a restrained amount of product, remove excess and build coverage in thin layers for more controlled blending.

Match brush shape to the area and texture. Use the side or tip intentionally instead of pressing flat. Clean brushes regularly and dry them thoroughly.
Hair Styling Controlled finish

Dry, section and shape

Work with manageable sections, use the lowest suitable heat and keep heated surfaces moving according to the tool instructions.

Confirm hair is prepared for the selected tool. Keep cords and hot surfaces clear of water and skin. Allow the tool to cool before storing it.
Manicure Tools Clean setup

Clean, shape and finish carefully

Work on clean, dry nails with sanitized tools, gentle filing direction and measured pressure around the nail edge.

Do not share personal manicure tools without proper cleaning. Avoid forcing tools beneath or around sensitive skin. Store dry tools in a clean protective case.
Focused Techniques

Precision begins before the tool is switched on.

Preparation, clean sections and an uncluttered working area make styling and manicure routines easier to control.

Hair Styling

Heat-conscious styling

Prepare the hair, divide it into clean sections and select the lowest suitable setting recommended for the tool and your hair. Keep the tool moving, maintain a safe distance from the scalp and allow it to cool completely before storage.

Keep heated tools away from water, children and heat-sensitive surfaces.
Manicure and nail-care tools used during a careful nail routine
Manicure Care

A clean, measured setup

Arrange clean tools on a dry surface, work in good light and shape the nail gradually rather than removing too much at once. Clean reusable tools according to their materials, dry them fully and return them to protected storage.

Avoid using damaged, rusted or difficult-to-clean manicure tools.
The Care Studio

A clean tool completes the ritual.

Product residue, moisture and loose debris can affect how a beauty tool feels and performs. A simple care sequence helps keep personal tools ready for their next use.

Always follow the cleaning directions supplied with the product. Electrical components, natural stone, metal, silicone, wood and brush fibers may require different methods.
01

Remove surface residue

Wipe away visible product promptly using a method suitable for the tool material.

02

Clean the contact surfaces

Use the recommended cleanser or cleaning approach without soaking non-waterproof parts.

03

Rinse only when appropriate

Keep charging ports, motors, handles and bonded components dry unless guidance says otherwise.

04

Dry completely

Allow brushes, rollers and reusable tools to dry fully before closing a case or drawer.

05

Store with intention

Protect clean tools from dust, humidity, direct heat and contact with unclean surfaces.

Tutorial Notes

Questions before you begin.

Beauty tools should fit comfortably into your routine. When technique, material or product compatibility is unclear, begin with the product instructions or ask the Novellea team.

How much pressure should I use with a facial massage tool?

Begin with a light, comfortable touch and enough skincare slip to prevent dragging. More pressure is not necessarily more effective. Follow the tool instructions, avoid irritated areas and stop if the movement feels painful or uncomfortable.

Can every cleansing device be used every day?

Frequency depends on the device, the attachment, the selected setting and individual skin comfort. Follow the product guidance and introduce the tool gradually rather than assuming that daily use is appropriate for everyone.

How often should makeup brushes and applicators be cleaned?

Clean tools often enough to prevent visible product buildup and keep personal application hygienic. Tools used with liquid or cream formulas may need more frequent attention. Wash with a suitable cleanser, rinse thoroughly and dry completely in a shape-supporting position.

What should I check before using a heated hair styling tool?

Check the cord, plates, barrel, attachments and controls for damage. Confirm that the hair is prepared as directed, choose the lowest suitable setting and keep the tool away from water, skin and heat-sensitive surfaces.

Can I share facial, grooming or manicure tools?

Personal beauty tools are generally best kept for individual use. When a tool is designed to be shared, follow its complete cleaning and disinfection guidance between users and replace any component that cannot be cleaned properly.

What should I do if a tool causes irritation or discomfort?

Stop using the tool and allow the area to settle. Review the product instructions, pressure, frequency and any products used alongside it. Seek qualified professional advice when irritation persists or when you have concerns about an existing condition.
