What Is a Jade Roller and Should I Be Using One?

 What is a jade roller? 

While jade rollers are having their moment in the spotlight right now, they have been a staple in Chinese skincare routines since the 7th century. You can think of them as handheld mini face massagers. They are can be made of beautiful green jade or pink quartz, and are believed to have healing and protective properties for the skin, including boosting blood circulation, reducing swelling, and allowing for deeper penetration of skincare products. Jade rollers look like the one in the photo above: they are made out of the gorgeous jade green stone and have a rolling piece at the top with a handle. Some jade rollers have a smaller roller at the bottom of the handle too, which can be great to use on smaller areas of the face.

How to use Jade Roller? 

First, choose your favourite facial oil and apply a few drops to clean skin to create a smooth surface then take your roller and start from the inner cheeks. Use the smaller side around the eyes and the larger side on the rest of the face. Move outwards towards the ears with gentle strokes and continue for around one minute or more. 

Next, follow down to the chin and continue to move outwards towards the ears for a minute. Make sure when moving out from the chin you move down below the ear down your neck to encourage lymphatic drainage, avoiding your pulse point.

 Lastly, move to the forehead, using gentle upwards strokes from the eyebrows to the hairline for one minute or more. Then move above your eyebrows from the centre towards your temple – this is another area we can hold tension
