Why this trend has become a staple in my beauty routine.
Hi guys! I wanted to dedicate this post to one of the most important steps in my beauty routine, jade rolling. While this was a fab two years ago on Instagram, I'm here to tell you that jade rolling works and why I recommend it for everyone.
There is a price for gold but no price for jade (Chinese proverb).
I use jade rolling as a way to massage my face in the morning and at night in order to stimulate lymphatic drainage. By doing this, I'm moving excess fluid and toxins out of my face. This minimizes acne, swelling and bloating, which are huge pluses in my book! The link I've attached below explains lymphatic drainage in more detail if you want to learn more.
I recommend that you start jade rolling after you wash your face and apply your beauty products, morning and night. Most jade rollers are double-ended, with the larger side designed for the cheeks, neck and forehead and the smaller side designed for around the eyes. I recommend gently (very gently) using the smaller end to massage your eye cream in. From there, place the jade roller on the smile line on the right side of your face and push up in a diagonal to your ear. Jade rolling, like any facial massage, should be performed with upwards motions on the face to lift the face and minimize wrinkles. You want to have the roller glide across your face but the slip that you get from your beauty products (like your favorite moisturizer) will prevent excess tugging.
Jade rolling is like going to my own personal spa every day! It's cooling, effective, and super bouqee! My jade roller is from Amazon and I've linked it below! The difference in my skin since I've started jade rolling is unmatched and it has a five-star recommendation from yours truly!
