Facial Rollers - Our Fave At-Home Self-care Practice

⠀⠀

We've been aboard the facial Gua Sha train lately (especially as a nice at-home treat these days with COVID still hanging around), but still have so much love for the jade roller. Jade rollers (or other stone, we carry a beautiful sodalite in our boutique) are really great for gentle lymphatic drainage massage and can be used over areas that we like to avoid with Gua Sha like rosacea and acne. They also require a little less thought and effort so you can roll away while watching your fave TV show.

Using your roller over a face mask or serum can help enhance absorption of the glow-boosting properties in these products. Sarah likes to use her jade roller a few times a week when feeling too lazy for the full gua sha routine.

Always start by rolling over your neck in a downward motion to get the lymph flowing, then work over your face from the center out towards the ear, where your other main lymph nodes live. Spend a couple minutes doing this on each side of your face, switching to the smaller roller around the eyes.

Pro tip: If you wake up one morning feeling extra puffy - throw your roller in the freezer for a few minutes before using!
