A Guide to Using Facial Rollers
Facial rollers are such a lovely and calming ritual to add into your daily skincare routine. So take your time, use your roller with intention and allow your natural beauty to come to the surface. There are many benefits to using a roller, they boost circulation and oxygenates the skin, brighten the complexion, tightens pores, reduces wrinkles, plumps up the skin, promotes product penetration and gives you the opportunity to create a skincare ritual that not only feels good, it produces that glow we all crave! I use a rose quartz roller but, a jade roller works just as well! I like the rose quartz because that stone also helps to open your heart. I feel good knowing that I am nourishing my heart as well as my skin each time I use my roller.
Check out these simple steps to start your facial roller ritual:
Begin by choosing your favorite serum or oil. I love the Ultimate Facial Oil by Abura Skincare. Apply the oil massing upwards starting from your neck and all the way up to your forehead.
Start with your roller at the neck. Roll from base of neck to jaw line in an upward roll. Your pressure should be medium to firm. When you get to the jaw, give a little flick. Repeat this 5-10 times as needed, then move to the next section. Repeat till you've reached the center of your neck. This gets your lymphatic system going, which will help reduce puffiness and much more!
Move slowly and mindfully. Try to enjoy these few moments you have to care for yourself.
Next, roll from the chin to your ear just under your jaw line. Repeat 5-10 times.
Move up to the center of your chin, rolling from chin to ear in a slightly upward angle. Repeat 5-10 times.
Repeat these movements working up the face, finishing under the eye.
Now, move to the forehead. Roll from your brow toward your hairline in a vertical upward movement. Repeat 5-10 times.
Repeat these movements working across the forehead.
Repeat on other side.
A nice treat for your skin can be to leave your facial roller in the refrigerator for extra de-puffing! Enjoy!
