Made typically from jade, rose quartz or another crystal, these paint-roller type tools are designed to be used to gently massage the face and stimulate the lymphatic system to get rid of toxins, ease muscle tension, decrease puffiness and stimulate blood-flow to increase your skin’s glow. This act of massage over the skin (always with an oil or serum for slip) is key to draining excess fluid from the face and, with regular use, will tone and lift the skin.

Why is face rolling so good?
“Face rolling works on so many levels, from stimulating blood flow so you get more nutrients and oxygen to your skin, to draining fluid, to giving a deep-tissue massage,” explains aesthetician Joanna Czech, whose cryo roller is a key part of her famous facial – both Kim Kardashian and Cate Blanchett are regulars. “The idea is to recreate my manual massage. I really hate massaging my own face, so making a tool that did it for me made sense,” she says. Her cryo roller works on a deep level: you literally see it lifting and holding the cheek muscles as you roll.
According to LA aesthetician Angela Caglia (whose famous rose-quartz face mask could have an Insta account of its own), rose-quartz rollers not only help to drain and contour the face, they’re also believed to help boost self-esteem, while jade rollers are said to ward off negative energy. “Plus, the stones stay naturally cold, so rolling in the morning gets the circulation going and helps calm inflammation and redness.
