If you follow any beauty influencers on social media, then we can almost promise you that you’ve seen a facial roller or two. Facial rollers have been around for quite some time now but are just recently getting a lot of hype of the benefits of using them. If you’ve never heard of a facial roller or its benefit before then you’re not alone. Here is everything you need to know about facial rollers.

What is a Facial Roller?

A facial roller looks like a tiny paintbrush. Depending on the type that you get, there are typically microneedles on the roller that are used to gently massage the face to increase blood circulation. They are an effective tool to add to your beauty regimen as they address a variety of issues that could be impacting the health of your skin. Face rollers come in a variety of sizes and materials that are specific to certain areas of your face and body.

Does it Hurt?

No, using a facial roller does not hurt. The microneedles and stones or gems are so small that when rolled on your skin it feels more like a massage. There is absolutely no pain associated with facial rolling when correctly used as instructed.

The Different Types of Facial Rollers

Just like any beauty product, there are a variety of face rollers you can choose from and each comes with their own added benefits. Most facial rollers are made from stone, so the difference mainly comes from the different healing properties of each stone.

Jade Rollers- This is one of the most popular facial rollers. Jade is a commonly used stone in the beauty industry as it promotes happiness by spiritually eliminating negativity.

Rose Quartz Rollers- These rollers are used to provide extra love to your skin. The stone has a nourishing effect that promotes love and calm. It’s also beneficial to increase balance and strengthen blood circulation in the skin

Derma Rollers- This roller is used mostly by medical professionals and known as collagen induction therapy. This is the roller that is covered in microneedles whereas the other rollers are smooth stone. The needles of this roller range from .25mm to 1.5mm.  

Why Use a Facial Roller?

There are so many benefits to using a facial roller regardless of the type you choose. They decrease the appearance of inflammation that may be causing your eyes to puff and the increase in blood circulation helps prevent wrinkles thanks to the stimulating collagen production. Facial rollers are also known to help your skin absorb the products you are applying. For example, it’s advised to use a facial roller before applying anti-aging cream at nighttime to increase the absorption rate. Additionally, facial rollers have been known to benefit the lymphatic system through stimulation. Stimulating this system allows your body to relieve itself of body waste and toxins that may be trapped in your skin cells. The benefits are endless, but you won’t see it in your skin until you try one out for yourself.
