The jade facial roller is all the craze right now!

We talked about guasha, and how great it is for your skin.  The roller is similar, but it has its own unique set of benefits

Facial muscles need to be worked just like muscles in the body do.  The jade roller will gently wake up those tired muscles in the face giving you a vibrant more youthful look.

I’m starting to see these rollers in stores everywhere.  Look for quality always.

There’s also a gazillion videos online if you need the visual to see how to use it.  It’s an easy technique though that takes about 5 minutes.

Ok, let’s talk about this little gadget and see why your skin is going to love this!  Get ready to roll!

What is a jade roller?

Its a handheld roller with two stones on it that is rolled on the face. One stone is large for all over the face, and the other is smaller which works nicely around the eye area. They are cool to the touch and can be used as is.  For even greater benefit put in the fridge to get cold. This would also feel great on those sinus areas or if you have a headache!

How to use the roller

• Start with a clean face.  You can also apply a serum for even better benefits.  Start on the chin or forehead.  I like to start on the forehead which can relax the whole face.
• Roll on a section of the face, one section at a time.  All the way down to the jawline and neck. A lot of pressure isn’t needed.  You’re stimulating the lymph as you roll so a heavy hand isn’t necessary.
• When you’re done, you can reapply a serum if you need to and then moisturize.

What are the benefits and results?

• Helps to tighten sagging skin.  Hello, tighter jawline!  Also good if you clench your teeth at night helping to relax your jaw.
• Calms and evens out your skin tone.
• Reduces puffiness on the face and under the eyes, especially when used cold.
• Makes fine lines less visible.
• Brings increased energy to the face and cells.  Look rested and awake even if you don’t feel it!
• Increases collagen.  Anything to increase collagen, I’m in!
• Increases circulation to the face. This makes you look healthy and vibrant.  As we age circulation slows down.  This will ramp it up again!
• Skin is noticeably brighter.  Hello, glow!
• Feels relaxing.  Your own mini spa treatment.
• Under eye darkness is improved.  The cool roller constricts the small vessels under the eye which results in a lighter more rested look in the eye area.

How often should you use the roller?

• 3 to 4 times a week, but if you do it more it’s fine.
• Use guasha on alternate days and take your skin to another level of wow!
• This technique is fast and easy and delivers results you can see.

Give this little roller a try!  You will be amazed at how in 5 minutes your skin just looks better.  Brighter, calmer, rested and more glow!  Remember, the more consistent you are the better the results.  Let the rolling begin!

 

Until next time,
