Jade rollers have become a staple in skincare routines, and for good reason. These ancient beauty tools offer a host of benefits, from reducing puffiness to enhancing your glow. At Izi Salon, we love incorporating jade rollers into our facials and recommend them for at-home use. Here’s why you need one in your skincare arsenal.
What Is a Jade Roller?
A jade roller is a handheld tool with one or two smooth jade stones attached to a handle. The larger stone is used for broader areas like cheeks and forehead, while the smaller stone targets delicate areas like under the eyes. Jade, a cooling stone, soothes skin and promotes a spa-like experience.
Benefits of Jade Rolling
Reduces Puffiness: The cool jade stone constricts blood vessels, reducing swelling and puffiness, especially in the morning or after a salty meal. Store your roller in the fridge for an extra cooling effect.
Improves Circulation: Gentle massage with a jade roller boosts blood flow, delivering oxygen and nutrients to skin cells. This enhances your natural glow and promotes a healthy complexion.
Enhances Product Absorption: Rolling after applying serums or oils helps drive products deeper into the skin, maximizing their efficacy. It’s like giving your skincare an extra boost.
Relieves Tension: Massaging with a jade roller relaxes facial muscles, easing tension from stress or clenching. It’s a soothing ritual that promotes relaxation and self-care.
How to Use a Jade Roller
Step 1: Prep Your Skin
Cleanse your face and apply a facial oil, serum, or moisturizer to create slip and prevent tugging. This also aids product absorption.
Step 2: Roll with Gentle Pressure
Start at the center of your face and roll outward and upward, following the natural contours of your skin. Roll 5-10 times per area. For the neck, roll downward to promote lymphatic drainage. Use the small end for under-eyes and around the nose.
Step 3: Clean the Roller
After each use, wipe the roller with a damp cloth and mild soap. Dry thoroughly to prevent bacteria buildup. Store in a clean, dry place.
Tips for Best Results
Use your jade roller 3-5 times a week for 5-10 minutes. Roll in one direction (outward/upward) to avoid pulling skin downward. Pair with a hydrating serum for maximum benefits. If the roller squeaks, apply a drop of oil to the axle.
