Jade Roller - facial massage with anti-aging effect

The Jade Roller

The jade stone has long been known for its healing properties and as a gemstone it is a beautifully shimmering mineral which, in combination with other foreign elements, takes on a green, yellowish or violet colour. In China, where the opaque gemstone has long been known, it is called the "Stone of Heaven" and is a symbol of immortality. In the meantime, jade has also found its way into the beauty and cosmetics sector and, as a roller, helps to combat wrinkles and dark circles and generally improve the complexion.

What is a jade roller?

The Jade Roller is a face roller in which the healing stone achieves an anti-aging effect. Here, the positive effect of the jade stone is combined with a soothing facial massage, whereby both in combination stimulate blood circulation, smuggle pollutants out of the body and refine the complexion over the long term. After application, the face has a radiant complexion, while at the same time collagen formation is stimulated. The jade roller contains the mineral as a cylindrical stone that can be optimally rolled over the skin of the face and other areas of the skin. The roller of the smoothly polished stone is attached to a handle and unfolds its effect with regular use.

What are the advantages of a jade roller?

In Asia, jade was primarily used as a healing stone for the treatment of lumbar and kidney pain and was also used for elaborate art objects and jewelry. The stone is extremely break-resistant, harder than diamond, but at the same time has a very supple surface that is particularly pleasant in contact with the skin. As a massage device, the jade roller is not necessarily new, but it has become a trend again within the cosmetics industry. The mineral has a calming effect within traditional Chinese medicine and promotes a long life. The massage with the face roller has a clearly visible anti-stress effect, promotes lymphatic drainage and reduces swelling. Other advantages are:

• improvement of blood circulation
• Anti-aging effect
• Promotion of a radiant complexion
• Preparation for better absorption of other active ingredients
• Reduction of tension
• refinement of the complexion
• detoxifying effect
• Relief of dark circles and signs of fatigue

How is a jade roller used?

An application of the jade roller is recommended as a daily massage. Especially before daily facial care, the face roller stimulates the metabolism, which makes it easier to absorb other care products. The face should be cleaned before using the jade roller. The roller is guided outwards from the center of the face and is passed over the desired area a few times with light pressure. It is important not to move the scooter back and forth, but to always start again. The jade roller is suitable for the entire face and can be used on the desired areas of the skin. For the forehead, this means massaging from the center of the forehead to the hairline and slowly rolling left and right from the center of the forehead. The eyes are treated from the inner eyelid to the temple, while the cheeks are massaged from the nostrils to the cheekbones or the face roller is moved from the respective side of the face down to the chin.

Why does the jade roller help against wrinkles?

In addition to the beneficial effect and promotion of better blood circulation, the jade roller is also excellent against wrinkles. The massage with the healing jade stone stimulates the formation of elastin and collagen. Like elastin, collagen ensures the elasticity and resilience of the skin, which decreases over the years.

Regular use of the facial roller smoothes out wrinkles again, while the skin looks plumper and fresher. Especially small wrinkles that appear around the eyes, the mouth and on the forehead can be reduced with the jade roller. Dark circles and other signs of tiredness are rolled away with lasting effect, while the massage also detoxifies the skin.

The jade stone has a calming effect that stimulates the self-healing powers. In connection with a balanced diet, good UV protection, high-quality facial care and sufficient exercise, the jade stone massage is an excellent opportunity to improve the complexion in the long term and make the complexion appear younger.

How do I use a jade roller?

For daily facial care and massage, it makes sense to plan about five to ten minutes to get the best result. It is true that very deep wrinkles cannot simply be rolled away, but the smaller lines and wrinkles disappear through the interaction of the healing properties of the stone, the massage and regular use.

It is particularly effective if the jade roller is placed in the fridge for about an hour before use to achieve a cooling and refreshing effect.
