Facial rollers have really hit it big in the past few years, with influencers, bloggers, and celebrities pushing them through pretty posts. From jade to rose quartz, these tiny tools have taken social media by storm. Since they are aesthetically pleasing and beautiful women everywhere are promoting them, they must work, right?!
So, are they beneficial, or are facial rollers just one more step to your skincare routine?
We have broken down all the details for you.
What is a facial roller?
Typically made with jade, amethyst, or rose quartz, facial rollers are smooth, cool stones rolled across the skin. They are often used to brighten + soothe the skin by promoting circulation.
Why we love facial rollers
Though they are aesthetically pleasing, there is so much more to facial rollers. While they just recently regained popularity, the technique has been around for centuries.
We’ve highlighted some of the benefits here:
Depuff: The motion of a facial roller acts as a massage to the skin. This stimulates lymphatic fluid drainage, which can help reduce puffiness and swelling.
Brighten: Using a roller increases blood circulation in the skin. As this happens, your skin will appear brighter + result in a natural glow.
Better product distribution: Often, facial rollers are used with oils and other products. Using a facial roller with your favorite products can help you apply them more effectively, giving them a better chance of soaking them into your skin and working.
So, if you’ve been on the fence about whether or not you should add a facial roller to your routine, we recommend it. Though the benefits may be subtle, they can’t be denied!
