FACIAL WORKOUT
Share
Keep your skincare routine on a roll by adding a face roller. The trendy tool, made with stones like jade or rose quartz, has been known to help reduce inflammation and puffiness in the face. But the technique isn’t all that new. In fact, the roots of using cool stones on your skin can be traced back thousands of years to ancient China.
What is face rolling?
Using a tool, which typically has a roller at each end made from jade or rose quartz, you massage or roll the skin away from your face. You may also see face rollers made with other materials like stainless steel or amethyst.
You can use your face roller every day for about 5 minutes to give an immediate boost to your appearance, but the results aren’t long-lasting. Most people see results for just a few hours after treatment.
Benefits of using a face roller
While using a face roller may feel good against your skin, it may also provide the following benefits:
- Improves lymphatic flow and drainage.
- Improves blood flow.
- Reduces puffiness.
- Reduces inflammation.
- Cools and soothes skin.
- Provides relaxation.
- Reduces stress.
- Distributes skincare ingredients more evenly.
“The lymphatic system is your body’s way of getting rid of toxins and unwanted bacteria in the body,” says Dr. Khetarpal. “So by rolling in a certain direction, you can improve the lymphatic flow and drainage of the face.”
If you think a face roller is right for you, give it a roll. Using a face roller can come in handy for big events when you want to look your best. But like with any new product, proceed with caution at first.
