Jade Rolling and Facial Massage
Last year jade rollers were all the rage on Instagram, beauty bloggers across the globe were posting pictures and videos with a jade roller in one hand and a cup of coffee in the other. There are many claims of what using a jade roller can do for your skincare routine, from anti-aging to healing, to turning back the hands of time. Let's dig a little deeper into what the benefits of jade rolling or facial massage in general can do for your skin.
Jade rollers can be an effective form of facial massage, and when done gently and correctly they can increase circulation which will make your skin look brighter, more luminous, and less puffy. The stone itself does not hold any magical powers, it is more about the movements on your face, getting the blood flowing, and the lymph fluid moving that will lead to a decrease in inflammation.
You may see a difference in your skin right away after using a jade roller or any other facial tool such as a Gua Sha Lifting Tool, but the results will only be temporary, which is why consistent use is important. Jade rolling however will not increase or stimulate collagen, the only way to do that is through food or treatments such as a peel or retiniods.
Jade rolling can help to break up any stagnation in your lymph fluid in and around your face, help your serums and oils penetrate the skin a bit more, and minimize fine lines by plumping the skin through circulation.
