Learn More About Jade Rollers
By now, you’ve heard about jade rollers, right?
They’re popping up on everyone’s Pinterest & Instagram. Jade rollers (or the ‘Stone of Heaven’) originated for Chinese skincare to keep skin beautiful, & women ageless. But what are the benefits, & how exactly do you use it?
What are the benefits?
Jade rollers help boost blood circulation, reduce swelling, & encourage you skincare products to penetrate deeper into the skin. They’re basically an easy cure for daily skincare struggles like dark under-eye circles & puffiness. They can also help smooth out fine lines & wrinkles. The Jade stone has a natural cooling effect which helps to increase lymphatic drainage.
On top of the skincare benefits, jade stones are said to be calming. It’s a traditional stone that soothes the mind, & releases negative thoughts, which can boost your mood!
How do you use it?
After washing my face, I apply my eye serum, homemade toner, & face oil. I take the Jade roller, & roll outward. Light pressure works to drain lymphatic fluids, & medium pressure can help skincare products to penetrate deeper, & boost blood flow. The movements help increase blood circulation & collagen production to maintain a youthful glow.
When do you use it?
The beauty of this product, is that you can use it morning or evening! I throw my roller in the fridge overnight because, in the morning, a chilled jade roller can help sleepy, puffy eyes look refreshed. Then, I rinse the roller off in the sink after use, & leave it at room temperature for the evening time.
What skincare products work with jade rollers?
A face oil combined with your jade roller is a winning combo! The oil will help the roller glide against your face, & a face oil can be easily penetrated into your skin. (click here for my homemade face oil for all skin types)
Is there a difference between cheap & expensive jade rollers?
It truly depends on personal preference. I picked up mine from Winners, but looked into the company I was purchasing from to see if it was real Jade stone. You want to make sure you’re getting quality stone, so it doesn’t hurt to opt for the more expensive Jade roller (but I won’t tell if you go to Winners like myself).
