Continue With Google Why You Need to Add "Jade Roller" to Your Xmas Wishlist
Still pondering over what to put on your Christmas wishlist? You might want to add "jade roller."
For the past couple of years, beauty buffs have been ranting and raving over the use of ancient skincare tools, such as gua sha stones and jade rollers. But are they worth the hype?
Here's everything you need to know about jade facial rollers.
WHAT IS A JADE ROLLER?
A jade roller is a beauty tool made from jade that's used for face massage and stimulation. It might be relatively new to us, but jade rollers have been around for centuries in China.
The benefits come from the fact that it's cold on the skin, which offers certain skin tightening and rejuvenating benefits. Then there's the matter of lymphatic stimulation, which brightens, firms, and de-puffs skin.
"The practice of applying a cold sensation and pressure to an area has been used for centuries because it works without fail," says Joie Tavernise, aesthetician and founder of JTAV Clinical Skincare in NYC. "It’s simple: The cold restricts blood flow to a particular area, and pressure pushes fluid, known as lymph, to the lymph nodes, which process it and filter out toxins."
It's definitely worth getting acquainted with jade rollers since they could be a great Christmas gift idea for yourself!
BENEFITS OF A JADE ROLLER
One of the reasons we think a jade roller would make the best gift for yourself this holiday season is because it offers so many skincare benefits.
You may have already seen the influencers on TikTok and Instagram touting all the benefits of using a jade roller, from boosting collagen to clearing breakouts. It turns out, they weren't lying. Jade rollers can indeed do all these things, helping to reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and blemishes. However, it's important to remember that results depend on the individual and how often you are using the roller. Remember: consistency is key.
The primary benefit of using a jade roller is its brightening and de-puffing qualities. Rolling a jade roller over your face encourages the lymphatic system’s natural detoxification process and brightens by boosting the circulation and blood flow. With the lymph system working optimally, you'll also be left with less puffiness and more distinguished facial contours.
What's more, using a jade facial roller gives a cool surface that soothes irritation and redness in sensitive skin types.
And finally, "rolling the device over skincare products you have applied may help enhance penetration of the active ingredients," says dermatologist Joshua Zeichner. From your luxury lotions to your revitalizing sleep masks, everything works better with the aid of a jade roller.
HOW TO USE A JADE ROLLER
Thinking of adding a jade roller into your skincare routine? Here's how to use it:
Use a gentle cleanser to wash your face, then apply your eye creams, serums, and moisturizers. You can also add in a little facial oil to make the rolling easier. Remember to rinse off the excess oils left on the device. You can also apply your skincare products using the roller to massage them in.
Using the roller back and forth, move up and down and out to the side, working all around the crevices of your face. You don't want to miss a spot!
To encourage lymph drainage, acupuncturist Ross J Barr gives instructions. "Imagine the bridge of your nose is the central point and roll away from that in all directions. Imagine you are very gently rolling all the toxin build-up outward and downwards, finally rolling outward along your jaw and down the channel that runs down your neck by your ear."
Spend the time covering all areas of your face to reap the most benefits from jade rolling.
