Crystal facial rollers are beautiful tools for relieving tension, increasing flow and reducing puffiness, adding that they help to better incorporate the elements in serums, moisturizers and oils.
Facial rollers and scraping massage tools can be made of jade or quartz, they both operate under the same mechanism and it is their massage effect that really provides any advantage, not the composition of the stone used itself.
Jade rollers should be able to do anything from sculpt, tone and tighten the skin to increase mobility, improve radiance, reduce puffiness, diminish fine lines, enhance flexibility, detoxify and help skin care products penetrate better. It's a long list, so we have to ask...
Since the beginning of the fascination with facial tools, rollers highlighting a variety of different crystals from jade to rose quartz have hit the shelves, each with unique physical and metaphysical properties. Just as your skin type determines which topical products you will apply, it should also determine which tools you prefer. So, how do you know whether to choose a jade, rose quartz, amethyst or shaving roller?
How to choose the right gemstone for you
If you choose to accept it, the gemstone will possess a certain amount of modern power. This really boils down to one decision: you choose to set an intention with the stone you pick, and that intention is rarely all the power you need.
Jade
Jade has been used for centuries in traditional Chinese medicine. This OG rock stays cool and therefore relieves irritation and redness. It is also great for softening fine lines and tightening the skin. Jade is reported to support lymphatic drainage to flush out toxins and bacteria that cause unsightly blemishes.
Rose Quartz
Rose Quartz is the ultimate crystal for self-love and care. It has long been associated with grace and youth. The ancient Egyptians even believed it could be used to maintain a youthful appearance. This may be due to Rose Quartz's properties of reducing tension, promoting healing and increasing cell renewal.
Amethyst
What many people don't realize about amethyst is its powerful role in purifying the skin. This popular purple gemstone soothes acne-related inflammation and tightens pores. In addition, it has been reported to be very beneficial in promoting blood flow while also regenerating cells and helping to reduce the effects of daily stress on facial muscles.
Scraping stones.
These come in all shapes and sizes, but are usually flat stones with scallops, indentations, curves or edges. You can use them to manipulate the skin, muscles and lymphatic fluid.
