Jade rollers, also known as  yushi gunlun, date back to China’s early 17th century Qing Dynasty. Medicine practitioners called them the stones of heaven, and Chinese nobility used the tool for their healing and soothing properties. Today, they’ve regained popularity due to how they improve the skin’s tone, texture, and elasticity. They’re a must-have tool to incorporate into your natural skincare routine.
Stone rollers are beneficial for all skin types. Four different styles provide a wide array of benefits. First, as previously mentioned, there’s the jade stone, then obsidian, rose quartz, and aventurine. Using the rollers, you’ll find that they reduce puffiness and leave your skin with a healthy glow. Giving your face a gentle massage encourages lymphatic drainage and increases healthy circulation.
Waking up from a long deep sleep usually makes your face puffy; the rollers help relieve the inflammation. Some find relief from sinus pressure and headaches, as well. Because they’re entirely non-porous, these rollers are an excellent tool for evenly applying moisturizers and other serums.
The rollers have one large roller on one end and a smaller roller on the other. The smaller roller is used around the nose, mouth, and under-eye areas.
The best practice is to direct all your rolling motions toward the outsides of your face. Start at the center of your chin, and roll up and out towards your ears. The exception is your forehead area, where you should start at the brows and roll upward towards your hairline.
