Jade rollers are facial massage tools made from jade stone that are believed to have healing properties and are naturally cool to the touch. They have become popular in the natural beauty world due to their numerous benefits for the skin. Some of the benefits of jade rolling include:

• Reducing puffiness
• Improving circulation
• Helping your skin glow
• Smoothing fine lines
• Reducing dark circles
• Calming inflammation
• Sculpting, toning, and firming skin
• Enhancing elasticity
• Detoxifying

Most jade rollers have two ends – a larger side and a smaller side. The larger side is used for the larger areas of your face (cheeks, jaw, forehead) and the smaller side is used for smaller areas of your face (under eyes, brows, etc.) . Jade rollers work best when you use some sort of liquid on your skin first. You want your skin to be somewhat “slippery” so the roller can move easily and not tug too much on your skin. The best types of liquids/products to use are serums, oils, or moisturizers.

While jade rollers can provide noticeable short-term results and can be a great way to look and feel your best before a meeting, event, or photoshoot, they are not a miracle fix for great skin. Technique is extremely important when it comes to using a jade roller. Not using it in the right way might end up doing more harm than good. It is important to start with a clean, fresh face with your serum of choice, use medium pressure, and take your time.
