There’s no doubt a solid professional massage can offer an unparalleled calming effect that helps melt away tension. But who has time for that every day? The good news (for your face at least): there’s actually a special ancient tool that enables you to massage your own face on a daily so you can not only boost your skincare routine but also reap the same stress-relieving benefits: the almighty jade roller. Here are just some of the many health and beauty benefits you’ll enjoy from using one.

It’s free of chemicals and additives

One major benefit of using the bonafide jade facial roller is you don’t need to worry about what’s in it (this is obvious, but worth mentioning). LATHER’s elegantly styled roller is made from a beautiful natural green jade stone, while the handle is made of jade and stainless steel. (Plus, each roller boasts its own unique shades and color patterns, so you’ll truly have a one-of-a-kind gem in your vanity!)

Since it’s free of synthetic fragrances, dyes, sulfates, parabens, and mineral oil, it’s safe to use on any skin type.

It soothes the skin

Massaging your face and neck with an ultra-smooth jade stone roller feels cool and pleasant to the touch as it glides across your skin. Unlike bare fingers, this roller won’t pull and tug at your skin, which helps to preserve the skin’s elasticity, keeping wrinkles at bay and soothing the skin rather than irritating it. At one end is a larger roller for the forehead, cheeks, and jawline. 

At the other end is a smaller roller specifically designed for the delicate area around the eyes where the skin is thinner, more fragile, and more prone to the visible signs of aging, like crow’s feet and fine lines.

It smooths out the skin
Did you know that your face contains 42 different muscles? Tense facial muscles and repeated expressions such as squinting, furrowing the brow, or raising the forehead can lead to deep lines across the surface of the skin. The ultra-gentle massage action of a jade roller relaxes the facial muscles, helping to relieve strain and lines. Helping these muscles to relax with gentle massaging can certainly go a long way in maintaining a smoother and more youthful complexion.

It makes your skin extra glowy
Another benefit of the jade roller is that it increases circulation to your skin. With better circulation, your skin enjoys an increase in the amount of oxygen and nutrients flowing to its surface. This increased blood flow to the skin can last over ten minutes after just a five-minute massage, giving you a rosy, brilliant luminosity. The roller can also be used on the sides of your neck to help massage and promote better circulation in the lymph areas where toxins can build up.
