Jade rollers are handheld massage tools inspired by traditional Chinese medicine. They improve blood circulation, which in turn helps promote lymphatic drainage and a firmer, more radiant complexion.
What are the main benefits?
Jade has long been considered an important semi-precious stone in Chinese medicine, as it is believed to have calming and healing properties. Whether or not you believe that crystals and gemstones can have this effect on your skin and health, rolling them over your skin does have many cosmetic benefits.
Using a jade roller improves blood circulation and helps to flush toxins and impurities out of the body. The result? Less congestion, fewer breakouts and a more enhanced, radiant glow.
Using jade rollers (gently) around the eyes can also work wonders, as they reduce puffiness and dark circles. By removing excess fluid that builds up during the night, the cooling jade helps to constrict blood vessels and prevent further swelling and puffiness.
How to use Jade Rollers.
Jade Rollers can be used in a variety of ways, depending on how you wish to incorporate them into your skincare routine.
Use with serums: Apply your favorite serum or oil (some of our favorites are from ELEMIS, Pai and Caudalie), then instead of massaging your hands into the product, use the Jade Roller until it is completely absorbed. You'll find it blends into the skin better and leaves your face glowing.
Alone: If you are feeling a little puffy or your complexion is tired, a 5 minute massage with the Jade Roller will help transform your skin. Use alone without product and let the cooling stones work their magic.
Around the eyes: Gently roll the stone under the eyes and under the brow bone to reduce puffiness and dark circles.
Use on the neck: For loose skin around the neck, using the Jade Roller day and night helps tighten and lift over time.
Important: Place it in the refrigerator overnight and use it on your face and neck in the morning for a refreshing, de-puffing treat!
The perfect rolling routine...
Follow these steps to perfect your jade rolling routine for a gorgeous glow and a healthy complexion.
Start at the chin and work your way up to your chin and up to your natural hairline. The pressure should be light and comfortable without any pain.
Place the jade roller on its side and roll from the nose to the hairline, toward the ears.
For a refreshing eye treatment, apply ultra-light pressure under the brow bone and roll toward the temples (this is also good if you have tension headaches, as it helps relieve stress).
Repeat this above the brow, rolling down to the outer corner of the eye.
Place the jade roller between the eyebrows and roll upward toward the hairline. This is very useful for stimulating circulation and fighting acne on the forehead. Move out of the forehead as you go.
Finally, place the jade roller on its side and roll it over the forehead to soothe.
