What Is A Jade Roller?

The famous Jade Roller is an ancient facial tool that originated in China. A jade roller is a beauty tool that uses a cool-to-the-touch gemstone for facial massage, and it’s been around for centuries. It is also an anti-aging facial tool used as a massager that dates back to the seventh century.

The roller is made up of semi-precious stone, Jade stone, used for face massage is also available in different types of stones.

Jade stone is made up of ornamental minerals which are best for the detoxification process of the lymphatic system and have proven effective since thousands of years. Jade stone is proven to help with anxiety and fatigue, and also has healing properties.

Benefits Of Jade Roller:

1- Reduces Puffiness:

Jade rollers work great to wake up the skin. When we wake up in the morning, our skin has some muscle tension that we call puffiness. Your jade roller will help you reduce the morning puffiness by providing a facial massage.

It works best when your jade roller is cold. You can put the jade roller in the fridge at night and use it in the morning to reduce face puffiness.

2- Anti-Aging:

Jade roller is a facial massage tool and helps our skin almost in the way facial massage does. It improves our skin quality and reduces the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.

Thus, it helps to reverse the signs of aging on your face and neck. it helps in regaining natural freshness and also reduces under-eye bags which brings facial brightness.

3- Healing Power:

The Jade Stone is said to have healing powers. If you believe in crystals and their properties then a jade roller is something you should definitely try. The healing properties of jade roller will help people with acne-prone skin with their acne and blemishes.

4- Lymphatic Drainage:

Our lymphatic system holds all the toxins and waste in them. Lymphatic drainage is something that can help your skin to flush out toxins. Toxins can be a cause of many skin irritations and infections. Jade rollers help to detoxify our skin by massaging our face and stimulate the lymphatic nodes that help our skin to improve its health and appearance.

5- Increases Blood Circulation:

Because the jade roller is a facial massaging tool, therefore it increases blood circulation in our skin. Increased blood flow helps our skin in so many ways. Like detoxification, cell regeneration, and quicker healing of any skin condition.

Jade rollers can even ease sinuses and release stuffy noses. How interesting is that…

6- Relaxes Facial Muscles:

As you roll the jade stone over your face, it will make your tired skin feel so relaxed and refreshed almost instantly. Especially if you use the jade roller after chilling it in the fridge for at least 30 minutes and at most overnight. Once you try jade roller for yourself and feel how relaxed and calm it leaves your skin, it will become a part of your daily derm rituals.

How To Use A Jade Roller:

Getting started, follow these steps:

1. Store your jade roller in the fridge. The benefit of a jade roller, as opposed to a simple massage with the hands, is that the cool temperature of the stone may help alleviate puffiness.
2. Cleanse your skin. Follow your usual morning skincare routine. If it involves cleansing, rinse your skin before using the roller.
3. Apply a serum or moisturizer. Use your usual nourishing product just before your jade roller. Although it might not work to push the products any deeper into your skin, jade rolling a hundred percent feels better when performed after moisturizing.
4. Use upwards motion. Do not use it downwards as it can promote saggy skin.

Step # 1: 

Prepare the skin, make sure to hydrate it well to reduce tugging and puling by the roller on the skin. Oil can be applied pre-use of this tool to reduce friction and discomfort.

Step#2:

Collar bone and neck (Clavicle) roll the roller up word motion from neck to jaw 3 to5 times and repeat o the other side.

Step#3:

Roll the roller from the jaw towards the ears 3 to5 times and move to the other side and repeat.

Strep#4:

Roll the roller on your forehead from the middle to either side vertically and roll it horizontally from left to right side. 

Step#5:

Roll the small side of the roller under the eyes by applying medium pressure and roll from the inner eye towards the outer corner. Repeat 3 to5 times and switch to another side.

Step#6:

Place the roller between the eyebrows and roll out over each eyebrow, repeat 5 to 7 times and switch to the other eyebrow. This part of the face needs a little more love.

Step#7:

Use the small end of the roller and run it over the jawline, apply medium pressure with rapid rolling where the skin feels tight. We have lymph nodes below both our ears. make sure to roll up from your jawline till the end of your ear.

Step#8:

Clean the jade roller with soap and water after every use. 

Types Of Jade Rollers:

Jade is not the only stone that is used in facial rollers. These days facial rollers can be customized according to the gemstone you like. But I will tell you about the most commonly available facial rollers found in the market. They are also called jade rollers because jade is the first stone to be used in the roller form.

1- Clear Quartz:

A Clear Quartz roller designed to help drain puffiness, unwanted toxins, shape the face, and help smooth fine lines and wrinkles. Clear Quartz is known as the “Master Healer”. It absorbs , stores, releases, and regulates energy.

2- Rose Quartz:

Rose Quartz is believed to open up the heart at all levels like an emotional healer. It’s meant to detoxify the skin and fight signs of aging like fine lines and wrinkles. Rose Quartz is believed to have positive energy.

3- Jade:

The most common types of rollers. It’s perfect for irritated skin because it calms inflammation. It also works to improve skin in all the ways discussed above.

4- Embossed & Textured Facial Jade Roller:

Special lumps on the design enhance its effectiveness to ten folds and provide extra deep and smoothness to the facial skin. While they can’t smooth wrinkles, they help to decrease puffiness, give you a glow, and at the very least be a fun addition to your skin-care routine.

How Often Must You Use A Jade Roller?

I suggest using jade roller once a day every day. However, you can use the jade roller twice a day if you have more muscle tension than usual, or want to increase blood circulation because of some skin condition. But do not over use

As I always say:

“Excess of anything is bad”

Jade roller does make your skin feel calm and refreshed but do not get addicted to it. In my opinion, once a day is enough. I use it twice a week, as I am also using other facial massage techniques which I will share with you guys in one of my next posts.
