Rolling tools are usually made of jade, rose quartz or other materials made of crystal and are designed to gently massage the face and stimulate the lymphatic system to reduce fatigue, relieve tension and stimulate blood flow to increase the skin's radiance.
Does face rolling work?
Yes, if you roll it the right way - or, if you roll it with purpose, not randomly on your face. And only roll upward, not back and forth. For more dimensional results, she recommends rolling in the morning; while crystal rollers are naturally cooler - especially rose quartz, which is more dense - chill further in the fridge for better results. Always use a cream or oil to 'glide' over the skin, then start gently rolling up and out along the jawline from chin to ear so you're actually draining the fluid that causes puffiness. Do this at least five times "rolling and then moving upward, rolling from the side of the nose to the cheekbones below the ears, then upward below the eyes to the temples, and then downward to the ears. It takes about five minutes to do your face.
Benefits of face rolling
You can see the face-sculpting effects of face rolling almost immediately, as it gently eliminates puffiness. However, for a longer-lasting lifting effect, you need to make it part of your daily regimen. This helps to retrain the muscles and as you roll upward, resisting gravity, you will continue to lift and move the muscles in the right direction.
Many people use a sheet mask to help ingredients penetrate more deeply, but for the same reason, you can also use a facial roller at the last step of your skincare routine to promote product absorption. Even better, gently rolling your face over your makeup can give your skin a beautiful, healthy glow and help create a more natural, less-appealing look. While we know all the benefits of cooling the roller, heat the roller to use it "like a hot stone massager". Submerge it in hot water for 30 seconds, dry, then use it over a sheet mask, serum or cream. It's so relaxing."
Rules of face rolling
1 . Always roll upward in one direction - never up and down.
2 . Repeat up to five upward rolls in each area. Start by rolling outward from under the jawline to the ears.
3 . Next, use the facial roller to roll from underneath the cheekbones to the ears.
4 . Finally, roll flat along the eyebrows and then upward on the forehead.
5 . Go slower on the neck and jawline, but lightly and firmly on the top and bottom of the cheeks.
