The benefits of jade facial rollers go far beyond removing facial puffiness
Jade rubbing has long been a practice in Chinese medicine. The stone is believed to have healing properties and is a symbol of strength and immortality. Over the past few years, the tool has made its way into beauty stores (and Instagram mentions) in the Western world, thanks in large part to its de-puffing abilities. What makes it special is that it is made of natural jade, which offers both mental and physical benefits and is known for its purifying and detoxifying properties. Professionals say the benefits of the jade roller include lymphatic drainage and improved blood circulation. Here's what you need to know.
Benefits of Jade Roller
1. Detoxifies and reduces swelling
Jade rolling is one of the easiest ways to do this at home. Using this tool to massage your face helps reduce fluid buildup and eliminate puffiness. Roll the massager towards your lymph nodes (located on your neck, slightly behind your ears) to help stimulate lymph node movement.
2. Brighten and firm the skin
Jade rollers massage the top layer of skin and if they are cooled in the refrigerator, they can soothe irritation, tighten pores and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
3. Relax facial tension
If you are a habitual clencher, then treating yourself with our DIY Jade Roller Massage can help remove some of the tension left over from this habit. By applying gentle pressure to your face and neck, it helps to reduce tension. By using the smaller end of the roller to gently massage along your chin, you will immediately feel the pressure in the area being released.
4. Remove eye bags
After a night of crying, drinking alcohol or eating salt, if your eyes end up puffy, a simple jade roller routine can help. Massaging your face with the smaller end of the tool can help even out some of the fluid, and if it's fresh out of the fridge, it will do double duty because the cold temperature helps constrict blood vessels, which helps prevent blood flowing fluid into the tissues.
