Face rollers are the new fad. But what are they? What do they do? Do you really need to be using one? We’re here to help answer these questions.
What are they?
Face rollers are made from different types of gemstones, such as quartz, rose quartz, jade, or amethyst. Each gemstone offers different properties. For example, quartz regulates energy; rose quartz promotes self love; jade promotes wisdom and peace; and amethyst is a natural tranquilizer with high spiritual vibrations.
What do they do?
They promote cellular turnover, boost circulation, reduce the appearance of wrinkles and dark under-eye circles, eliminate toxins, and tightens the skin. They also help your skincare products absorb better into the skin.
**Pro Tip** – Put your roller in the freezer, or fridge, for a few minutes before use to reduce puffiness. Or let it soak in a cup of warm water for a minute before use for a very relaxing facial massage.
How do you use them?
Use gentle, upward strokes on your face and neck. Go slow; it’s about quality, not quantity. Just like using a massage roller on other areas of your body, you need to find the pressure point that feels right for you. Most rollers are double-ended, with one large end and one small end. You can use the small end for harder to reach areas such as under the eyes and around the nose and lips. Use your face roller every morning and night after applying your skincare products.
Using a face roller will only add about 3-5 extra minutes to your skincare routine and is definitely worth the extra time! When used properly, you will see and feel a noticeable difference in your skin. There are so many different rollers on the market now, so it’s easy to find one that fits your budget. Here are some rollers we found for you that are great quality at a great price point, including jade and rose quartz rollers.
