Jade Roller

Like any crazy beauty trend, I first heard of jade rolling on Instagram. Even though I was a little sceptical at first and not completely sure what were the benefits of jade rolling, I was eager to try it due to its appearance. The tool is absolutely beautiful and the design is really innovative.

The Jade Roller is a wand with two jade stone heads on each end. The smaller side is made for the under-eye and the bigger for the rest of the face. Jade is considered a green ornamental gemstone and is said to have healing powers. The Jade Roller was used by the Ancient Chinese for centuries to get smooth, youthful looking skin. I bought mine at Le Brow Bar for 26 canadian dollar.

After buying it, I did some research to learn more about it. Jade rolling has a lot of benefits. The gentle massaging motion of the jade on your skin helps to boost blood circulation, reduce swelling, and makes your skincare products penetrate deeper and quicker into the skin. Jade rolling is an easy cure for daily skincare struggles like dark under-eye circles and puffiness from fatigue. The increase in circulation can also help smooth out fine lines and wrinkles and overall brightens your complexion.

After applying your favorite serum or moisturizer, roll the Jade Roller starting at the center of the face and moving out towards the hairline in an upward motion. You can use your Jade Roller whenever you like, but I like using it in the morning to wake up my complexion and start the day on a great note.

I noticed that if I woke up with a puffy face, the Jade Roller seems to be the perfect solution. For some reason the stone on the Jade Roller is always cold and I find it a pleasure using it every morning. It feels really refreshing.You can also put it overnight in the fridge for an extra cooling effect.

The Jade Roller can be cleaned with a soft damp cloth. It's important to never put hot water on it or to soak it. To prevent from damaging the stone, it is better to not use it along with products that contain a lot of alcohol.

It has been a nice relaxing addition to my skincare routine, and to be quite honest I didn't think I would be reaching for it every morning as much as I am. I definitely recommend jade rolling for anyone who is looking to get rid of fine lines, reduce dark under eye circles, or just to have a cool skincare tool to show off to friends.
