Jade rollers have been the latest craze and have been popping up everywhere. It’s no surprise when you look at the benefits of incorporating rollers into your skincare routine.

Last week I wrote about the benefits of Ice Rollers, but I couldn’t forget about jade rollers, because you can actually use both!

What is a jade roller?

First things first: What is a jade roller? They have actually been a staple in Chinese skincare routines since the 7^th century. 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. 

Why should you use a jade roller?

You can utilize this tool to help aid in the absorption of treatments into the skin, reduce the appearance of puffiness, and reduce signs of aging. This dual sided tool can be used throughout all areas of the face and neck to maximize your daily skincare regimen.

What are the benefits of using a jade roller?

Because of the nature of the stone and the end result of lymphatic drainage, skin brightening is one of the factors or characteristics of skin the individuals may notice after using the jade roller. The reduction and puffiness as a result of lymphatic drainage or redness or even large pores may be benefited by using a stone roller.

How to use a jade roller:

The roller is fantastic used on bare skin, but it’s even more amazing when you apply a little of your favorite serum, oil, or moisturizer first. Massage for five to ten minutes, targeting specific areas as instructed below.

It’s important that you roll along facial features, not against them. Think about up and out when you use the jade roller on your face.  Think of up and down (for lymphatic drainage) when you use the jade roller on your neck.

We want our jade roller to lift, and that’s why diagonals up and out work as well as they do as part of your skin care regime.  You’ll want to follow up with a drainage technique however after our lifting technique. Focus on healthy detoxification and drainage, making movement towards the ears (after up and out).

One of the things we’re going to learn when it comes to a skin care regimen and manual therapy is “End With Cold”.  This is because ending with cold helps initiate detoxification naturally in the body as the body shunts blood “to and fro”.  Akin to the hot/cold therapy is to end the series of up and out strokes with center to ear approach for full drainage.
