What is a Face-roller?

Face-rollers have been around for much longer than you can imagine. It’s only that it has made it to popular culture now.

Just like the Gua Sha, the face-roller technique comes from China where it was used traditionally by wealthy women. It is a handy facial tool that has two rollers on either end made up of semi-precious stones like Jade or Amethyst.

Because of the high demand of face rollers today, they come in an array of choices of stones and sizes. The mini-roller is smaller in size and has only one roller. It is more affordable compared to dual-ended ones and is travel friendly. It is designed in a way so that it can efficiently target the area around the eyes and the mouth. 

How can you benefit from using a face-roller? 

The face roller needs to be used correct. If that is not done, you might get a lot of side effects. Using the face-roller with a good technique will prove beneficial for you because, it will:

How does a Face-Roller work?

To know the best way of using the face-roller starts by first understanding its structure. The larger roller is meant for the entire face. And the smaller one is made for areas like around your eyes. These rollers are made up of semi-precious stones which have healing properties. 

According to experts, when you roll this face-roller upon your skin, it exerts some pressure which stimulates blood and energy flow in your facial tissues. This undoubtedly increases blood flow, and also optimizes lymph movements. This ultimately leads to regeneration, repairing, and freshness. 

How to choose a Face Roller that’ll suit you best?

Just as your choice of skin care products depends on your skin type and requirement, so it is with the face-roller. There are different stones that serve different purposes. 

1. Jade

The jade face-roller has cooling properties and reduces irritation and inflammation. It causes lymphatic drainage which reduces wrinkles and blemishes. So if that is your target, you ought to go with this one. 

2. Rose Quartz

Rose quartz is associated with self-love and care. It represents younger and beautiful skin. It will help reduce your stress and negative energies. It softens fine lines by increasing cell turnover and heals your skin. 

3. Amethyst

This crystal represents power and protection. So if you’ve got acne-prone skin, the Amethyst face roller is your bestie. It will reduce inflammation up to a great extent and tighten skin. 

4. Obsidian 

The obsidian stone represents balance. It has the elements of earth, fire, and water. It is great healing in nature and rejuvenates your skin on all levels. 

How to use a facial roller?

To get the best results from a facial roller, use it in the manner mentioned below.

1. Firstly, prepare the tool for rolling by keeping it in the freezer for 2-3 hours. This will add additional cooling to your skin. 

2. Clean your face before you begin. Make sure it is clean and rid of all dirt. Next, after drying your skin with a soft towel, apply some serum or moisturizer on your face for a greasy base. We recommend our natural creams for this.

3. Now, take your face-roller and place it behind, at the top of your neck and start rolling it in a vertical motion. Cover both the sides of your neck. Once you do this, place the face-roller in the front of your neck and roll it in a downwards motion from the jawline to the collarbones.

4. After doing this step, bring your face-roller to the middle of your face. Push it outwards, toward the sides, along your cheekbones. Cover the entire cheek area before you move on to your forehead. 

5. Place your face-roller on your forehead and roll it downwards to your eyebrows. After repeating this a few times, but the roller between your eyebrows, and pull it horizontally towards the temples on either side.

6. With the help of the smaller side of your face-roller, roll gently between the outer and inner corners of your eyes.

7. Finally, wipe your face gently with a towel, and apply your moisturizer for hydration.

How often should you use a face roller? 

We recommend you to use your face-rollers up to 3-4 times a week. You can also choose to use it on a daily basis. Just ensure to be consistent with your skincare routine as inconsistency will not be beneficial for you. 

How to clean and store your face roller?

A tool that you have to use on your skin often needs to be clean otherwise it can lead to other skin problems like sudden breakouts and acne. Use a soft towel to wipe your face roller before each use. Even better, you can use a towel dipped in a mixture of cleanser and water and then use it to gently wipe the face roller. This will remove any bacteria on the tool.

Make sure that you don’t use hot water because that can cause damage to the stone. Ensure also that your tool is completely dry before storing it in the box.

Get started with improving your skin tone with a face roller

Handling your face roller with care is really important as it is made up of semi-precious stones and is fragile. So you need to store it in a place where it cannot fall from or better still, keep it in the refrigerator to have an added cooling effect.
