Face rolling has been a big beauty trend for years. It's easy and it's cheap. But with so many different tools available, which one should you choose? Let's talk about jade rollers vs. ice rollers.
There is already a detailed article on ice rolling where you can learn about the benefits and the reasons why you need it. So, instead of going into detail, I will focus mainly on the differences between these two tools and how I use them. I think it always helps to compare when you have to make a choice.
Well, let me start by saying that I have both of these tools. I use them a little bit differently.
The main purpose of both the jade roller and the ice roller is to massage lymphatic drainage, increase the flow of lymphatic fluid and reduce toxins in the body.
Jade Roller VS Ice Roller
Using the ice roller in the morning.
I keep mine in the fridge and I like to roll it in the early morning while making coffee. It's cold, but it feels refreshing, especially when you've just woken up. In a way, it wakes up my skin and makes me feel more awake. However, I like the ice roller because it helps a lot to eliminate puffiness and tighten pores. Things I didn't notice when using the Jade Roller.
Using the jade roller at night.
This tool is very delicate, which is a good thing because it doesn't allow you to over-pressure your skin. However, it is very effective in increasing blood flow, relaxing the nervous system and reducing puffiness. I like to use the jade roller at night after I have applied all my serums and moisturizers. It helps push the products deeper into my skin and allows them to be absorbed better.
How to use: I roll it upwards and apply it to my face, cheeks and under my eyes. Basically, I want to push it out from the center of my face. Then, when I reach my neck, I roll it down my neck. This is the only area I rolled down.
I also want to mention scraping, which is often mentioned when we talk about jade rollers. This tool is much more intense and amazing in terms of increasing circulation. It also feels great on the skin.
Final thoughts on the JADE ROLLER VS ICE ROLLER debate
Both are great tools. However, if you are looking for something to tighten your skin, shrink pores and calm inflammation, go for the ICE ROLLER. If you want to improve your skin's elasticity and tone while allowing your skin to better absorb your skincare products, then you should choose the Jade Roller.
