The Radiance-Boosting Benefits of Using a Jade Roller

July 26, 2016

Facials are a worthy indulgence but there are also plenty of special treatments you can do at home to boost radiance and invigorate the skin. One of my favorite methods is to use a jade roller after cleansing and moisturizing in the morning and at night. This tool might seem odd, but it dates back to the 7th century, when it was used by royal and elite women in China to reduce puffiness and release toxins from the skin.

Use the roller around the eyes, across your forehead, and beneath your cheekbones and jawline for several minutes to see results. Jade naturally emits infrared rays when warmed, which increases circulation, revives tissue, and aids in lymphatic drainage. As a result, your face will usually flush and puffiness around the eyes will decrease in response to the pressure of the stone. As with any good facial treatment at a spa, you’ll feel less tense and your skin will look more luminous by the time you’re done. XXJKE
