The Stone and Rose Quartz Roller has become the biggest skincare tool of the year! I wanted to share the benefits and changes I've personally noticed and show how to use the jade roller to massage your face, eyes and neck.
The benefits of jade roller
Lymphatic drainage - Facial fluid buildup is pushed to lymphatic drainage points, which reduces bloating and renews facial contours.
Increased blood flow - Increased blood flow results in an immediate glow to the skin. Increased blood flow can also help bruises heal faster.
Relieves stress - Methodical use of the roller is very soothing.
Jade vs. Rose Quartz
Jade is non-porous, which means it does not harbor bacteria. Jade is an adaptable stone and will warm up with use.
Rose quartz also does not harbor bacteria and can be cleaned with 70% isopropyl alcohol or soap and water. When you roll the quartz onto your face, it stays cooler.
Emerald and Rose Quartz have the same level of stone hardness and are easy to clean. If you prefer a tool that gets hot when you use it, choose Jade. if you prefer a tool that stays cooler, choose Rose Quartz.
How to use a jade tumbler
Tools| Most jade rollers have two sides, the smaller side for around the eyes and the larger side for the face.
Pressure| Make sure you use gentle pressure. You don't need to press the roller into the skin, the combined movement of the jade stones will do all the work for you.
Clean Skin| Always use a jade roller with clean skin.
I wash my face first, then apply a toner and/or serum. This is my favorite serum (technically it's a toner, but I use it as my serum and it's fantastic). The texture is slightly thicker than water and it makes my skin so bright. I pat it in with my fingers.
After applying the serum, I wait about a minute and then start jade rolling.
Sometimes if I need a lot of TLC, I will wash my face and apply a mask or eye mask and then cover them with the jade roller to make the mask more effective.
Rolling Direction| When rolling, make sure you roll in one direction only, not back and forth.
On the face, always roll up and out towards the hairline and outer edges of the face (including the jawline).
On your neck and chest, you can roll down and toward your heart.
The direction you roll is important because you are rolling toward the lymphatic drainage points of your face and body. This will push any residual fluid to these points so that they can be flushed out. Your body will do this naturally during the day, and even rolling for a minute will help speed up the process and reduce bloating quickly.
Start at the center of your eyebrows and roll up toward your hairline.
2 | Continue this movement on your face, rolling the right side first, then the left.
3 | Under your eyes, use the smaller side of the roller to roll up towards the outer edge of your eyes, all the way to your hairline.
4 | On the upper eyelid, start rolling from the inner corner of the eye and work your way past the eyelid to the outer corner of the eye.
5 | When you reach your neck and chest, you can begin rolling down and inward toward your heart.
The whole rolling process takes about 60 seconds in total. It is easy to adapt in the morning while making coffee, etc.
Clean + disinfect your rollers
Spray the roller with 70% isopropyl alcohol, then gently dry the roller with a clean towel.
This is the fastest way to clean it (so I'm most likely to actually do the cleaning.)
You can also wash it with a little cleanser and water, then dry it with a clean towel.
Alternatively, you can store the roller with your skincare products, or if you want it to be fresher when you roll it, you can keep it in the fridge.
Shop for jade rollers| Amazon. Super . Sephora.
I searched and read countless reviews and found a well-made real jade roller. I wanted to make sure it was sturdy and durable and that the base could withstand daily use. I created this list of the most highly rated rollers so you don't have to dig through hundreds of options.
