Do jade rollers really work? It really depends on what your goals are. Is a jade roller a panacea for acne and wrinkles, as some people say? Sorry to disappoint you, but no. Jade rolling can temporarily reduce puffiness by increasing lymphatic drainage. In terms of increasing product penetration, that's where they differ. While social media says it can help, there is really no scientific evidence to back this up. That being said, if you're not expecting any miracles and you like the way it smooths over your product, then yes, jade rolling may be for you.
How do you use your jade roller?
Let me guess - you took your jade roller, gave it a few random rubs on your face, and said it was great, right? While this may feel good, there is a proper method and reason for jade rolling, so let's take a moment to review it. Jade rolling is a simple technique derived from an ancient Chinese beauty ritual that uses a roller to apply pressure to the skin and underlying tissues, creating movement under the surface. Jade rolling is a bit like foam rolling your face, although it's definitely not as painful as working on the tight muscles of your body. In fact, if it hurts, you're definitely doing it wrong.
So what's the proper way to use a jade roller? Tip: Unlike a paint roller on the wall, Chiu says that instead of pushing the tool back and forth in various ways, work in a specific direction depending on the target you're trying to target. After preparing your skin for hydration, follow her steps for face rolling, as follows.
Neck: Start at the nape of the neck to open up circulation channels. Place the roller at the back of the top of the neck and roll down the sides. Then, move to the front and roll from the jawline down to the collarbone.
Cheeks: Place the roller in the center of the face and push outward to the sides.
Forehead: Roll from the hairline down to the eyebrows. Then, place the roller between the eyebrows, pulling them horizontally toward the temples, and repeat on the other eyebrow.
Eyes: Gently roll horizontally from the outer corner of the eye to the inner corner of the eye and repeat on the other eye.
