WTF is Facial Rolling and Do I Need To Do It?

December 7, 2018

Facial rolling seems to be all the rage right now and facial rollers are everywhere. Here’s the thing though this isn’t new and jade rollers have been around for centuries. I use my facial rollers almost daily and since showing them on Instagram I’ve been getting a ton of questions!

  • What is a facial roller?
  • Why do you need a facial roller?
  • What can a facial roller do?
  • Does it matter if you use a jade roller or a rose quartz roller?
  • Do facial rollers help your products sink in?
  • Do facial rollers help with migraines?
  • How do you use them?

Those are just a few of the questions that I’m hoping to cover today for you.

What the f*$k is facial rolling and do you need to do it?

What is a facial roller?

Let’s start with the basics, what is it? The paint-roller type contraption that looks like it should be displayed in a museum display case actually has a point to it. A facial roller can be used to enhance blood circulation when using it to massage your face which in turn ideally allows your products to absorb better into the skin. They’re most commonly used for lymphatic massages to relieve lymphatic congestion which reduces puffiness, under-eye circles, and even reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Ling Chan, the owner of Ling New York says “Our facial muscles stores a lot of tension. This tension can cause wrinkles and fine lines especially around our forehead and eyes.” so ideally facial rolling helps to relieve that tension.

Why do you need a facial roller?

Is it a must-have in my opinion? Absolutely. I’ve seen the benefits of using it. But here’s what you should know about me, I fucking love skincare. I used to think that I would age gracefully but when I started to see my first wrinkle and look back on older photos I was real quick to jump on the hell no we are not about to age gracefully we’re gonna use all the products train. I absolutely love skincare products. I love a super indulgent routine. You can see my current skincare routine here. So if you’re more of a one and done type of product girl that’s totally your thing and totally fine so this maybe isn’t the thing for you. Though I hope you reconsider because it’s really fabulous.

Most importantly, I think, is they just feel freaking good. They’re both naturally cool stones and taking a minute for self-care and a mini massage isn’t going to hurt anyone. Aside from the skincare properties if you suffer from frequent headaches or migraines facial rolling can absolutely help as well. Jade and rose quartz as crystals are naturally cool and if you pop them in the freezer they get even colder and can alleviate the pain.

MY FAVORITE ROLLERS

What can a facial roller do for your skin?

  • Relieve puffiness by stimulating blood circulation
  • Reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by relieving facial tension
  • Improve skin elasticity
  • Lymphatic drainage (which also helps when you’re sick!)
  • Enhance product absorption
  • Tightens pores

What the f*$k is facial rolling and do you need to do it?

Does it matter if you use a jade roller or a rose quartz roller?

Not necessarily, there are a few different types of facial rollers that you can grab. I also use a 3D facial massager as well as an ice roller. The reason most people gravitate towards the jade and rose quartz rollers are because at a basic level they’re pretty but the crystals themselves have a purpose. Jade is said to release bad energy and rose quartz is said to bring peace and love. I don’t know if I’m completely sold on the crystal thing but they both feel amazing and if they’re helping me get my spirit right as well then I’m down.

Do facial rollers help your products sink in?

The theory goes that since a lymphatic massage helps alleviate lymphatic congestion it enhances your blood circulation which allows products to better absorb into the skin.

Do facial rollers help with migraines?

Yes! When you pick a jade or rose quartz roller up since both of these stones are naturally cool they feel amazing to roll over your forehead. I also suggest an ice roller if you suffer from migraines!

How To Use A Facial Roller:

How to give yourself a facial massage with a jade or rose quartz roller!

Start on one side of your face and then repeat on the other. I usually do each step for about 30 seconds to 1 minute.

  1. Using the large part of your roller, begin on neck starting in center and roll outwards.
  2. On the chin slide outwards following the jaw line towards the ears.
  3. Place the roller next to the mouth and gently slide upwards.
  4. Starting next to the nostrils, roll outwards towards the ears.
  5. Slide outwards under the eyes towards the temples with the small side of your roller.
  6. Change to the large roller and begin between the eyebrows slide up towards the hairline.
  7. Roll upwards and outwards on the entire forehead.

Make sure to clean your roller after each use! Using dish soap is just fine! This is the specific set that I have and LOVE! I hope this post helped you understand facial rollers more!

“The black and white photo challenge started as “The black and white photo challenge started as a way for women to raise their voice. To stand in solidarity with the women we have lost. To show that one day, it could be their picture plastered across news outlets with a black and white filter.” - @beelzeboobz⁣

In 2019, Turkey had nearly 500 RECORDED femicides. ⁣
⁣
The Global Burden of Armed Violence 2014 database shows that between 2007 and 2012, on average, 60,000 women were killed violently around the world. ⁣
⁣
A total of 87,000 women were intentionally killed in 2017. More than half of them (58 per cent) ̶ 50,000 ̶ were killed by intimate partners or family members, meaning that 137 women across the world are killed by a member of their own family every day. More than a third (30,000) of the women intentionally killed in 2017 were killed by their current or former intimate partner ̶ someone they would normally expect to trust.⁣

While the majority of homicide victims are men, women are the primary victims of intimate partner homicide, including homicide–suicide events.⁣

Breonna Taylor’s murderers still haven’t been arrested. ⁣
⁣
Globally, 1 in 3 women experience physical or sexual violence mostly by an intimate partner⁣
⁣
#WomenSupportingWomen looks a lot like putting in work to actively combat and also recognize violence against women. It looks like voting for political figures who don’t want to take the rights of women away. It looks like donating to causes that actively fight for these women. ⁣

So let’s #challengeaccepted that. ⁣

I absolutely wouldn’t tell a woman that her thighs were too big. Or that I hated her stretch marks. Or her belly stuck out too far. Or that her arms were fat. ⁣
⁣
So why the frick am I ok saying it to myself? Sometimes we all need a little reminder when we look in the mirrror...⁣
⁣
Speak to yourself with grace. If you find yourself experiencing negative self talk ask yourself if you’d say it to someone else. If the answer is no.. full 🛑 ⁣

1️⃣ My hair has been over 50 different colors. Some of them all at the same time. It’s naturally blonde though⠀⁣
⠀⁣
2️⃣ I went to an all girls catholic high school and was asked not to take Spanish 3 because I talked too much 🤣⠀⁣
⠀⁣
3️⃣ I have two cats, a dog, and a husband that I’ve been with since I was 16 years old⠀⁣
⠀⁣
4️⃣ I’m a double ♊️ which means I’m talkative, fiercely loyal and endlessly curious. Paired with being an enneagram 8 and it probably also means I’m a little bit psycho 🤣⠀⁣
⠀⁣
5️⃣ I listen to murder podcasts to fall asleep.⠀⁣
⠀⁣
6️⃣ Playing with makeup is my happy place. ⠀⁣

🔟 Creating this community has been one of my favorite things about life. What will you find here?! Easy beauty tips and tutorials, attainable fashion, endless Amazon finds, but also the UNCOMFORTABLE stuff: pap smears, depression, anxiety, the effects my husbands addiction had on our marriage, eating disorders, struggles with fertility, body acceptance, and being comfortable in your own skin. I try to keep it as real as humanly possible. Being so vulnerable all of the time isn’t the easiest thing but if it helps just one person feel less alone, I’m good! ⠀⁣

🌟 I’m so glad you’re here! I’d love to hear a fun fact about you!! 🌟 ⁣

Loving an addict is one of if not the hardest thin Loving an addict is one of if not the hardest thing I’ve ever done in my life. ⁣
⁣
We’re about two hit two years since Jim entered rehab and I’m forever proud of the changes he made and the man he has become⁣
⁣
For the person reading this who loves an addict. It’s changed you, I know. It made you a little harder to reach. It made getting out a bed a little rough. It’s isolated you from groups of friends. Your hearts a little more closed off then it once was. Your trust is a little bit broken. You’ve felt more alone then you ever have. You’ve felt judged. You’ve felt betrayed. You’ve felt at fault.⁣
⁣
Whether you’re past it or still in the trenches. I want you to know some things. ⁣
⁣
I need you to know that it’s not your fault. I need you to know that you could not have done anything differently. I need you to know that you can’t cure it. You didn’t cause it. And you can’t control it. ⁣
⁣
Most of all I need you to know that it gets better. I need you to know that it’s ok to feel happiness again. It’s ok to put yourself first. It’s ok to take care of your. ⁣
⁣
And you’re not alone. ⁣
⁣
I promise you that there’s a light on this side of the tunnel just waiting for you to walk through. And that light doesn’t mean it’s over, it’s just there to guide you. Because every day could be a battle. ⁣
⁣
I stayed for the battle. But that’s not the only way. If you need to leave that’s okay too. Either way. You have to get to that light. ⁣
⁣
Don’t be afraid to reach out for help. Go to a meeting yourself. Grab a book (Co-Dependent No More, was helpful for me) listen to a podcast. Get yourself a village. TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF⁣
