While jade rollers are having their moment in the spotlight right now, they have been a staple in Chinese skincare routines since the 7th century. You can think of them as handheld mini face massagers. They can be made of beautiful green jade or pink quartz(pictured above), and are believed to have healing and protective properties for the skin, including boosting circulation, reducing swelling, and allowing for deeper penetration of skincare products.
The most well-known benefits of using a jade roller include reducing inflammation and puffiness of the skin, reducing the appearance of under eye circles(especially if your roller is cold), stimulating the lymphatic system and blood circulation, brightening complexion, tightening pores, helping reduce the appearance of fine lines, and allowing skincare products to penetrate more deeply. Aside from these benefits, it’s a lovely way to relax and get in “bedtime” mode after your evening skincare routine.
You can pretty much search for jade rollers on Amazon and find a slew of options with all different price points, although we feel strongly that an inexpensive jade roller will do the trick. Give it a try!
