You may need to book a treatment at the spa for a rejuvenating full-body massage, but you can give your face the same attention and care with the help of handy skincare tools. Facial rollers made from materials like jade, rose quartz, amethyst, or stainless steel often look luxurious (but worth it) and are just as the name suggests. A smooth stone or metal surface rolls over the contours of your face to provide a range of purported benefits — from reducing puffiness and firming skin to reducing the appearance of wrinkles and making products easier to absorb.
But what does rolling a stone in your face really do? Although jade rollers have been used in Chinese beauty rituals since the seventh century, with the practice making a comeback, whether modern rollers actually affect the look and feel of skin has been the subject of much debate in recent years.
Now that you know that this popular skincare tool has gained the approval of beauty bloggers and clients alike, here are the top 5 jade roller — and they actually work — based on rave reviews from clients.
Top 5 Jade Roller – Green Jade Face Roller
This facial roller is made from green jade, a natural cooling stone with balancing properties that keep your skin looking its best. The tool has two differently sized rollers – a larger one for broad strokes on flat areas of the face, and a smaller one for reaching delicate parts of the face (like under the eyes). Sephora shoppers love the double-sided device and say they use it to relax and lock in serums and moisturizers.
Top 5 Face Roller – Amethyst Roller
This amethyst option is a great option if you’re interested in trying out therapeutic crystal face rollers. Store it in the refrigerator before use (for an ultra-cooling effect) and roll it over the skin outwards after applying your favorite serum, oil, or moisturizer to get the most out of the soothing roller. Not only does it help your skin absorb the product faster and reduce puffiness, but amethyst is also thought to relieve stress—at least, it’s a little self-care act that’s a good reminder to take it and give yourself some time. Reviewers on Ulta seem to agree that this gadget is very relaxing and really helps reduce the appearance of wrinkles and puffiness.
Top 5 Face Roller-Rose Quartz Roller
In the world of crystal healing, rose quartz is associated with the heart chakra – so if you can use some self-love (even if it sounds cheesy), don’t take yourself too seriously, and use this rose face when you prioritize self-care wheel. It promotes relaxation and calm, while stimulating the lymphatic system to quickly detoxify your skin. One customer called it “therapeutic,” and others suggested putting it in the refrigerator before using it for extra feel-good cooling.
Top 5 Face Roller-Stainless Steel 3D Roller
Designed to recreate the feel and effects of a professional facial massage, this facial roller is ideal for shaping and conditioning skin. It gently rolls over the contours of your face while firming skin texture for a more youthful look. After applying your favorite serum, oil or moisturizer, try rolling outward from the center of the face for a super relaxing experience. “This is my favorite tool I’ve ever used. It’s very good quality, and it’s really cool,” said one customer who purchased the tool.
Top 5 Jade Roller-Xiuyan Jade Roller
It is the same material as the green jade face roller, they are both serpentine jade. But relatively speaking, the color of Xiuyan jade is lighter, and it looks better in appearance. Its price is also slightly higher than that of the green jade roller. From the effect, the effect of both is very good.
