A good tumbler should be made of jade or rose quartz. It has a handle with two ball rollers at each end. Think small rolling pin on one end of the handle bigger and another smaller roller on the other end of the handle.
Do facial rollers really work?
This ancient Chinese skin care technique is my weapon against puffy, tired eyes and a stuffy nose. Studies have shown that facial rollers are an effective tool to help drain excess water from the face, help absorb skin care products and prevent wrinkles. In short, facial rollers are said to provide major skin benefits.
What does a facial roller do for your face?
Facial rollers can help increase blood flow, aid in lymphatic drainage and help make the face look less puffy and contoured.
Here are some of the main benefits of using a facial roller
Improves facial blood circulation. Using a facial roller stimulates blood flow to the face, making your skin look brighter and feel firmer.
Helps with nasal congestion. For me, it's a game changer.
Reduces puffiness. Stimulating lymphatic drainage and using cold rollers definitely improved puffiness under my eyes and throughout my face.
Helps flush toxins and improve wrinkles. The glow I get in the morning when I use the cold jade roller illustrates this.
How to use the facial roller
First, I definitely recommend watching a tutorial before massaging your face with a facial roller. I prefer to use my facial roller in the morning with my coffee. It's one of my favorite morning skincare routines. However, you can also use your facial roller in the evening to help better absorb your nighttime skincare products.
Apply a facial oil, I like this cold pressed rosehip oil which is inexpensive and extremely moisturizing. It's important to use the oil or serum on your face, otherwise the tool will pull or tug on your skin, which can actually cause wrinkles.
Start at the neck and roll upwards. For best results, roll up instead of rolling back and forth. This tutorial is very helpful.
Gently roll from your jawline to your ears on either side. You can continue this movement from your chin all the way to your cheekbones.
Roll from the forehead up to the temples and only upwards. This is the same gentle pull you would use if you were using your hands to tighten the skin and eliminate wrinkles.
Rolling horizontally over your eyebrows may be especially soothing if you have a headache.
Bonus Tip
Store your facial roller in the refrigerator, this cool tool really does remove puffy skin quickly.
Make sure you buy a real jade or rose quartz tool, real stones are worth their weight in gold.
You can use the facial roller daily for only about 5 minutes at a time.
How to get rid of puffy eyes
After my morning coffee and facial massage, I continue to use these products to help my skin glow while getting rid of puffy, tired eyes. I use these eye masks at least a few times a week. The green tea extract is super healing and feels relaxing.
