5 Things You Must Know About the Face Roller!
1. The History of the Face Roller.
Rollers have a very long history, dating back hundreds of years, dating back to the Qing Dynasty. At that time, because the material was made of jade, the cost of the facial roller at that time was very high (jade has always been a symbol of wealth in ancient China, and the price was high). Therefore, the face roller at that time was a symbol of aristocratic beauty.
Because of the high cost, jade facial rollers have been in the category of niche beauty since ancient times. And it is in a state of dormancy in modern times.
But with the rise of natural beauty now, more and more people are fascinated by natural things for beauty care. As a result, the facial roller made of natural jade and crystal has been gradually re-excavated by people. With the magical effect and experience, the fans of Jade Roller have exploded in just two or three years. Finally, you can find the presence of jade facial rollers in almost any social media about facial beauty, in the store.
2. The Effect of the Jade Roller
The trace elements in jade help the skin maintain vitality, so as to achieve the effect of wrinkle removal, anti-aging, face-lifting, beauty, lifting and firming.
This type of roller dredges the lymph nodes on the face after massage, keeping the skin firm and full, thus playing the role of face-lifting and anti-aging. In addition to massage, you can also use the roller to accelerate the absorption during skin care. You can take the essence capsule with you when you go out, and use the roller to massage to introduce the essence.
The main function of the jade roller is to promote facial blood circulation, massage the lymphatic system, help cell metabolism, reduce swelling and improve skin relaxation.
When the skin is rubbed, it will promote the lymphatic circulation of the skin, thereby helping the skin to achieve a face-lifting effect.

3. How to Use the Jade Roller
How to use the jade roller correctly determines whether you can get the best use effect. Next, we follow the steps to explain how to use the jade roller correctly.
Before Use:
Before use, we must make sure that our jade rollers are clean and safe. So, wash your jade rollers clean. You can use medical alcohol for cleaning or mild detergent.
Using:
First, apply your favorite serum or lotion to your face. The purpose is not only to reduce friction and make the use of the jade roller smoother, but also to promote the absorption of these skin care products by our skin.
Next comes the formal roller massage. Start with your forehead. General double-headed rollers have balls of two sizes, one large and one small. Using the larger ball, roll from the middle of the forehead to the sides and repeat 15-20 times. Then roll from the top of the eyebrows to the hairline, repeat 15-20 times.
Next is the cheek, cheekbones position. Roll from the nose along the cheekbones to the corners of the eyes. Repeat 15-20 times on each side.
Chin position. Using the larger ball, roll from the chin to the base of the ear. Repeat 15-20 times on each side.
eye position. Using a small roller, roll from the inside to the outside of the lower eyelid. Repeat 15-20 times on each side.
at the neck. Scroll from top right to bottom. Try to cover the entire neck area. Each position can be repeated about 5 times.
After use:
In order to ensure the safety of the next use, please clean it thoroughly after use. In order to avoid bacteria such as high-quality and essence remaining on the roller, it will endanger the safety of your face. At the same time, protect yourself. Because the natural jade roller is fragile, try to avoid it in areas that are not easy to fall. Avoid contact with hard objects and scratch the surface of the jade face roller.
4. How to Store Your Face Roller?
At present, the main jade rollers on the market are roughly divided into three types: natural jade crystal, metal, plastic and resin. The methods and precautions for saving face rollers of different materials are also different.
Natural Jade Crystal: As we said earlier. Facial rollers made of natural jade crystal and other materials are fragile in texture, high in hardness, but low in toughness. Therefore, when we store it, it is best to place it in a safe area that is not easy to fall. At the same time, we should use a soft cloth bag or box to isolate it from other hard objects to avoid damage to the jade roller.
Special attention is that some materials have more attention to preservation due to their material properties. Such as rose quartz material and amethyst material. These two material face rollers are very popular for their beautiful appearance. However, when they are exposed to prolonged direct sunlight or high temperatures, their color will gradually become lighter. So they need to be kept in a cool environment.
Metal material: Metal material is the opposite of natural jade crystal material, with low hardness and sufficient toughness. Therefore, the jade roller made of metal is not easy to crack. But its surface is more prone to scratches. So when saving your metal face roller, the most important thing is to avoid contact with hard objects.
Metal rollers do not have high requirements for temperature and humidity. Because most of the metals currently used on the market are alloys that are not easy to rust and have strong rust resistance. But just to be on the safe side, clean and dry your face roller after use. Keep as dry as possible.
Plastic and resin materials: Although we do not recommend that you choose plastic and resin materials, there are still many people who choose to use them because of their low prices. Of course, as long as the raw materials are safe, there is no danger in using them.
Plastic and resin materials have lower hardness than metals. Therefore, the face roller of this material is more prone to scratches. Therefore, it needs to be stored in an environment where there is no hard object contact.
Avoid contact with high temperature, fire and other environments. When plastics and resins come into contact with a high temperature environment, they are very prone to deformation, which affects their aesthetics and normal use.
5. How to Choose A Face Roller?
- Material: jade>metal>plastic.
- Price: Too high or low price is not a good choice. Because as long as it is a safe material, the difference in effect is not very big. So you don’t need to spend a lot of money to buy a jade roller unless you really like it. And the price is too low, you can hardly confirm whether it is safe and reliable.
- It may be difficult for you to confirm the quality of the product you purchased before it has been delivered to you. You can buy several more to compare, or go to a trusted store to buy. For example Jeoxi. As a store directly connected to the Jade Roller Factory, the products in the store are all high-quality products from the factory, and free home delivery.
5 Misconceptions About Jade Rollers.
1. Jade Roller Is Not As Good As Jade Gua Sha?
When it comes to the jade roller, you can hardly separate the jade scraping from it. In many stores, jade rollers are often sold together with jade scraping boards. The appearance of jade scraping is much earlier than the jade roller. It is also because scraping is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, so many people think that jade scraping is much better than jade rollers.
Indeed, if only the effect is compared, Gua Sha is indeed better than the facial roller. Both in terms of effect and comprehensiveness. But the premise of this conclusion is professional gua sha.
Many people simply do daily beauty scraping at home, and do not spend a lot of money and time going to a professional scraping shop to experience professional scraping. In this case, the effect of the jade roller is not much different from that of scraping.
The use of jade rollers will be more convenient than scraping boards. This is the advantage of the jade roller.
2. The More Expensive the Jade Roller, the Better?
No, of course not. We have already said that the effect of jade rollers under the same material category is not much different. The main factor that determines the price of jade rollers is the price of the material, not the efficacy. For example, the price of rose quartz face rollers is much lower than that of amethyst face rollers. The price difference is simply a material difference. Amethyst is more rare, so the raw material cost is higher. And because the loss rate during the production of amethyst is higher, the production cost is also higher. Not because amethyst is much more potent than rose quartz.
3. Jade Rollers Have Miraculous Beauty Effects.
We can frequently see the amazing magical effects of jade face rollers touted on Instagramy and Facebook. Lifts the face, removes wrinkles, double chin and more. But a lot of it is overblown. Although as the source factory and wholesale supplier of jade rollers, we also hope that jade rollers can be recognized by everyone, but not in this way.
Of course, the jade roller does have a recognizable effect, but it is more of an auxiliary tool for daily beauty, which can greatly improve the beauty of your face. Moreover, the effect that the jade roller can bring takes time to accumulate, and it is impossible to bring you great changes in a short period of time.
4. Jade Face Roller Cannot be Used Every Day.
Wrong, you can use the jade face roller every day. And, we recommend that you use it every day. It is different from scraping. Gua Sha achieves the effect of massage by sliding, so it will generate a large amount of friction and cause some damage to the skin (very slight, and it will recover quickly). The jade facial roller is rolled, so it will not form a large friction, and it will not damage our skin.
And, we said in a previous point that the effect of the jade roller takes time to accumulate, so you should ensure that you have ten minutes a day to use the face roller.
5. The Jade Face Roller Uses Fake Jade.
First of all, we need to judge what jade is and what is its standard? If you take Chinese “Hetian” white jade etc. as your standard for jade, there really is no “real jade” face roller on the market. But jade isn’t just the expensive variety, they also come in the less expensive kind. We currently have the most “green jade” rollers on the market using this lower-priced jade. Xiuyu and its variants from Xiuyan, China. This kind of jade has been used as one of the materials for jade carving since ancient times.
So the jade rollers on the market are not “real jade”? This view is wrong.
