<\/p>\n

What is it?<\/h4>\n

Jade and other stone rollers are beauty tools made of semi-precious stones used for facial massage; they\u2019re believed to have originated in China and used to move unhealthy energy out of the body and restore harmony and balance. They often have one smaller- and one larger-sized roller to target different areas of the face (e.g., the small end works best around the eyes) and can offer either a smooth surface or a textured side<\/a> with studs to increase the massage factor.<\/p>\n

Similar to face rolling is gua sha<\/a>, which involves massaging the skin with a beauty tool also carved out of a gemstone like jade<\/a> or rose quartz<\/a>.<\/p>\n

What are the benefits?<\/h4>\n

Facial rolling (and gua sha) can help improve skin in many ways including reducing the appearance of fine lines, depuffing swollen skin, and boosting circulation in the face by delivering fresh blood to the area.<\/p>\n

You might have heard the term lymphatic drainage<\/a> before\u2014this is the act of naturally removing stagnant lymphatic fluid from the skin. Ideally, the lymph should be flowing easily and removing toxins to help facilitate a healthy complexion and eliminate tension from the face. The primary way face rollers aid the lymphatic system is with gentle pressure and movements that encourage fluid to travel along its pathways and drain into the body.<\/p>\n
