Who needs professional facials or massages when you have facial rollers to the rescue? As one of the best skincare "staple" tools in China, they can take your self-care routine to the next level.
So the hype around facial rollers, rose quartz and jade is real. And we can't deny it, because the results - whether physical, metaphysical or spiritual - are also magical.
Whether it's relaxing tense facial muscles or just helping to absorb serums and lotions, facial rollers are the age-old beauty tool for all your skincare needs.
Let's take a look at the differences between the two.
Jade Roller
Jade facial rollers have been around for centuries. As early as the 7th century AD, there is evidence from China that this stone has multiple healing properties. This stone was considered a symbol of grace, beauty and longevity in Chinese society. It is known to balance your inner energy and bring you a sense of calm and harmony.
In the past, jade facial rollers were used to remove fluid buildup and smooth out facial wrinkles.
If you feel sluggish in the early morning or are not an early riser, this roller balances your chakra and rejuvenates your skin, helping you stay fresh and awake throughout the day.
In addition, this stone is highly sought after for its cooling and skin tightening properties. Made of rectangular pure jade and attached to a handle with a metal frame, it lifts your skin, improves its elasticity, eliminates puffiness under the eyes, and promotes lymphatic drainage.
Rollers are also said to have mystical powers, as jade itself promotes various qualities such as peace, wisdom and balance.
Daily use of Jade will leave your skin feeling healthy and firm while working wonders for dark circles and under-eye puffiness.
Rose Quartz Facial Roller
Rose Quartz is a rose-pink variety of quartzite.
Known as the love stone, it is also considered to be the perfect vibration for love, happiness, healing, self-care and anti-inflammatory properties. This beautiful stone carries a powerful energy that works in the heart chakra and the areas associated with compassion. In addition to this, it is believed to increase self-esteem, balance emotions, reduce stress and restore confidence.
Did you know that the Rose Quartz Tumbler paired with Chrysoberyl can also help you find true love?
It is well known that the goddess Isis used rose quartz stone as a facial massage stone on the banks of the Nile to prevent wrinkles and to keep her skin crystal clear.
The Egyptians believed that Rose Quartz stones had magical anti-aging properties. Rose Quartz facial rollers are rich in minerals such as iron, sodium, silicon, magnesium, sodium and oxygen, which heal and rejuvenate the skin and have the ability to reduce inflammation.
Silicon dioxide binds your skin together and gives it extraordinary flexibility; magnesium slows the aging process; iron regulates blood circulation and sodium fights free radicals.
All of these elements renew the skin and improve a dull complexion. Plus, if you're a night owl, it works because it calms your skin and prepares it for the night.
The Verdict
We're confident you won't miss either gemstone as they both offer excellent skin care benefits.
Both rollers can be used with serums, massage masks, facial oils and moisturizers to better absorb them.
However, there are only subtle intrinsic differences between the two. Jade, for example, relaxes the nervous system and removes toxins from the skin. Rose quartzite, on the other hand, has incredible anti-aging properties, can help boost microcirculation and exert a calming loving vibe.
In a nutshell
Roller tools have been around for centuries, dating back to ancient Chinese practices.
Jade is a stone known for its peace, wisdom and balance, while Rose Quartz is a crystal known for enhancing anything associated with love and playing on the calming gentle vibrations of love and peace.
Jade is smooth but not as smooth as rose quartz, and the molecular structure of jadeite dissipates heat more readily than rose quartz crystal, so you can expect your crystal tumblers to stay cooler slightly longer than jadeite.
