A Chinese medicine dermatology expert's interview published in a reputed daily mentioned that a jade roller can reduce puffiness of the face by increasing lymphatic drainage and by improving blood circulation. The concept of jade rollers is derived from ancient Chinese rituals where pressure is applied to the skin and the underlying tissue to create movement beneath the skin surface. It is said that makeup stays better once you massage your face with a jade roller, but this fact completely depends from person to person.

How to use jade rollers

There is a proper method of jade rolling and one should not just do this in a haphazard manner. It can be said that jade rolling is like foam rolling, but is of course painless. 

Neck – Always start with the neck to ease up blood circulation as not many people massage their necks as much they should. Start jade rolling by placing the roller at the back of your neck and rolling downwards on both sides laterally. Then move the roller to the front and roll from the jawline to the collarbone.

Cheeks – From the middle of the face, push the roller outwards to the sides of the face.

Forehead – Start rolling from your hairline down to your eyebrow, and then between the brows and end it by rolling it horizontally across the temple.

Eyes- Start rolling the jade roller from the outer corner of the towards the inner corner and repeat the same on both eyes.
