Why is Jade Roller the best “at home” self-care in 2021?

The practice of jade rolling is deeply nourishing and relaxing. Plus, the basic techniques are quite simple and can be easily incorporated in your daily skincare ritual at home once understood. Let’s see why Jade Roller is the best at home self-care in 2021.

If the words Jade Roller and Gua Sha may seem new to some of us, these tools have been in use in traditional Chinese medicine for centuries. We have witnessed these past few years how our skincare routine has progressed from a quick routine using a cleanser and moisturizer to a more complex routine incorporating serums, essences, emulsions, and tools like jade and rose quartz rollers.

First thing first, let’s see what a Jade Roller is.

Jade rolling emerged in the 7th century in Ancient China and was a ritual that was reserved for the elite. Believed to have been invented in the Qing Dynasty, jade rolling was used for a soothing facial massage. Jade also known as “Stone of Heaven” in Chinese medicine is still considered to be a precious gemstone with anti-aging superpowers.

Jade Rollers have gained recent popularity across the globe and the term jade beauty roller became the most searched keyword on every social platform.

What happens when a Jade Roller is added to your skincare routine?

For sure the main objective of jade rolling is to improve the overall health and radiance of the skin. But it has a wide range of benefits.

* Stimulates lymphatic drainage
* Enhances blood circulation
* Alleviates facial and jaw tension
* Reduces puffiness and inflammation of skin

Starting the jade rolling ritual at home made simple!

We recommend that you start with a clean face and prep your skin using a facial essence or serum.

* Start in the middle of the face and roll outwards across the cheeks
* Move to the eyebrows and roll upwards across the forehead
* Move below the lower lip and roll downward across the chin

* Pressure:

Use medium pressure on the face and deeper pressure on the forehead and jaw.

* Number of “passes”:

Moving along the same area multiple times is necessary to receive the full benefit. The appropriate number of passes is about 5-10. Too many passes can however be over-stimulating.

* Breath:

Remember to check in with your breathing. Continuously breathe with long, intentional inhales and exhales to get your body to relax completely and help you feel the overall effect of a facial Jade Rolling home practice.
