You must have seen it in stores or on Instagram- the famous ”face roller” everyone is talking about! It is made of precious stones and looks like some kind of kitchen utensil, and beauty gurus swear by it. These rollers are pure luxury and do a great job on the beauty plate, but are they only an accessory, or can it be used as part of your daily skincare routine? Here are some surprising benefits of the jade roller!
Tightens Pores
Regular use of a jade roller can improve the texture of your skin. As a result, your pores will become smaller, and your skin will look more smooth. You can keep the roller in the refrigerator for better results.
The Absorption of Facial Products Will Be Improved
Applying a day cream or serum immediately after using the jade roller will allow the skin to absorb the active ingredients better. This will enable you to feel the effects of the facial device more.
Improves Dark Circles
Dark circles and bags are fluid accumulation, which can be dealt with by rolling the jade roller. The rolling motion stimulates the lymphatic system to drain the (excess) lymph fluid. This is also known as lymphatic drainage and reduces the chances of fluid buildup on the face. As a result, your skin will feel smoother and less puffy.
Accelerates Healing
Do you have small acne scars or eczema on your face? If so, it can be helpful to make it a habit to use a facial roller. The rolling motion accelerates the healing process, making the scars smaller and less noticeable.
Helps With Stress
Using a jade roller is also part of a calming health regimen to reduce stress. High levels of stress can aggravate skin diseases such as acne, eczema, and psoriasis. Thus, jade rollers also indirectly help with skin health.
How To Use It?
Of course, you can roll your face at random, but in order to get the most out of facial massage, you need to do it carefully and here’s how it works:
Step 1 – Jawline and Cheeks
With a large roller, roll along the jawline from the chin. Slowly roll from the bottom to the top, always from the inside to the outside.
Step 2 – Eyes
With a small roller, roll from the eyes towards the ear. Roll under the eyes first, but also gently roll the area above the eyelids and up to the eyebrows.
Step 3 – Forehead
Let’s go further up, this time using a larger roller. Start from the center of the forehead and roll towards the hairline.
Step 4 – Neck
Many women forget about their neck and décolleté when it comes to skincare. Unfortunately, a beautifully smooth face with droopy chicken neck underneath isn’t the most flattering. So, after applying the necessary cream to your neck and décolleté, roll it on from top to bottom. Start at your jawline and roll down to your collarbone.
Before you start rolling, your face should be clean and already coated with serum, facial oil, day cream or night cream. All in all, the rolling should take about 5 to 10 minutes. Jadar rollers are actually the last step of the skincare routine, and it also helps to increase the absorption of the last product used into the skin.
In conclusion, using a jade roller can positively affect your skin, but don’t stress about it if you have been taking care of your skin without using a jade roller! Share your thoughts with us in the comments below!
