How to use a jade roller
Learning how to use a jade roller can be a quick process, especially if you really want to have younger, more vibrant skin. Check out these simple steps.
Apply facial serum - After cleansing your face, warm a few drops of facial serum in the palm of your hand and apply it to your face. Doing so lubricates the face and helps the roller glide over it more smoothly. The rolling motion not only stimulates the facial meridians, but also helps the nutrients in the serum to penetrate and absorb more effectively into the skin layers. Repeat all movements 3 to 6 times or more, if needed.
Cheeks, forehead, chin and neck - Each GingerChi Jade facial roller includes easy-to-follow instructions on how to use the jade roller. First, using the large end of the roller, roll over the larger areas of the face. Roll in an upward and outward motion across the neck, cheeks, forehead and jawline. Specifically for the forehead, move upward from the eyebrows to flatten the forehead line. Then, from the center of the forehead, roll along the eyebrows toward the points between the eyes and ears.
Eyes - Next, use the small end of the roller to roll along the curve of the eyebrows to the temples. Roll under the eyes to reduce puffiness and over the fine lines and wrinkles on the outer edges of the eyes. With eyes closed, roll the smaller roller from the inner corner of the eye across the eyelid and toward the meridian points near the ear. Focus on any puffiness, crow's feet and wrinkles around the eyes. Use the smaller roller to gently press the meridian points by the ears. Hold for a count of three, exhale, and repeat. This helps relax the face, relieves any tension, and is great for headaches.
Nose - Still using the smaller roller, roll from the eyes down and around the base of the nose to the meridian points on its side. Gently press on the meridian points on either side of the nose. Hold for a count of three, then exhale.
Chin and Lips - Switch to the larger roller. Starting from the nose, roll along the cheeks to the meridian points near the ears. From the center of the lips, roll along the upper and lower lips toward the ears. From the center of the chin, sweep upward toward the ears. From the bottom of the chin, roll upward to the meridian point under the lower lip. Press down to a count of three, exhale, and repeat. Continue rolling the lines around the nose, mouth and chin area.
Pressing Meridian Points - To get the full benefits of the Jade Roller, follow the instructions provided by GingerChi to press the meridian points of the face using the small end. This helps to activate facial Qi and reveal the true beauty of the Jade Roller. This set of instructions will also provide information on how to clean the Jade Roller.

Sometimes, a squeaking sound may be heard as a result of the jade coming into contact with the metal. We do our best to resolve this issue by having a team check and inspect each roller.
