Tool :
Most jade rollers come with two sides, a smaller side for use around the eye area and a larger roller for the face.
Pressure:
Make sure to use light, gentle pressure. You don’t need to press the roller into your skin, the motion combined with the jade stone will do all the work for you.
Clean Skin :
Always use your jade roller with clean skin.
I wash my face first, then apply my toner
After I apply toner, I wait about a minute, then start jade rolling.
Also, sometimes I like to wash my face and apply a sheet mask or eye masks, then use the jade roller over them to give the mask a boost of effectiveness. Double duty, baby!
Direction:
When rolling, make sure you only roll in one direction, don’t roll back-and-forth.
On the face, always roll up and out towards your hairline and outer edge of your face, including your jawline.
On your neck and chest, you can roll downwards and towards your heart.
The direction of rolling is important, because you are rolling towards the lymphatic drainage points on your face and body. This pushes any retained fluids to those points so they can be flushed out. Your body would do this naturally during the day, even one minute of rolling helps speed up that process and reduces bloating quickly.
________
1 | Starting at the center of your brows, roll up towards your hairline.
2 | Continue this motion all over your face, rolling out the right side first and then the left.
3 | Underneath your eyes, use the smaller side of the roller to roll up towards the outer edge of the eye, all the way to the hairline.
4 | On the upper lid of the eye, roll from the inner corner of your eyes across your lid to the outer corner.
5 | When you get to your neck and chest, you can start to roll down and inwards towards your heart.
Timing
This entire rolling process takes about 60 seconds total. It’s pretty easy to fit in in the morning, while you make coffee, etc.
When possible, I like to roll for even longer. If I’m working from home, I’ll jade roll while I check emails, that way I can roll for 10-30 minutes. It’s so relaxing, it makes responding to emails a breeze.
I also like rolling at night, while watching tv. Just make sure whenever you have time to roll, that your face is freshly washed and clean! You don’t want to be pressing makeup and bacteria into your pores.
