What is a jade roller?

Jade rollers are handheld massaging tools, inspired by traditional Chinese medicine. They work to boost circulation, which in turn helps to promote lymphatic drainage and encourage a firmer, more radiant complexion.

What are the main benefits?

Jade has long been recognised as an important semi-precious stone in traditional Chinese medicine, as it's believed to have calming and healing properties. Whether you believe that crystals and stones can have this effect on the skin and well-being or not, the act of rolling it across your skin really does have many beautifying benefits.

By using a jade roller, you are encouraging better blood circulation, which helps to get toxins and impurities moving and out of your system. The result? Less congestion, less breakouts and a more enhanced, radiant glow.

Jade rollers also work wonders when used (gently) around the eye area, as they can reduce puffiness and dark circles. By removing excess fluid under the eye that builds up overnight, the cooling jade stone helps to constrict blood vessels and prevent further swelling and puffiness.

How to use a jade roller:

Jade rollers can be used in a multitude of ways, depending on how you want to fit it into your skincare routine.

• Use with a serum: Apply your favourite serum or oil all over, and then instead of using your hands to massage in the product, use your jade roller until it's fully absorbed. You will find it melts into the skin much better and leaves your face glowing.
• Use on its own: If you feel a little puffy or have a fatigued complexion, 5 minutes with a jade roller will help transform your skin. Use on it's own without product and let the cooling stone work its magic.
• Use around the eyes: Delicately roll the jade stone under the eyes and just below the brow bone to reduce puffiness and dark circles.
• Use on the neck: For sagging skin on the neck, use your jade roller day and night to help tighten and lift over time.
