Why The Jade Roller Is My Favourite Beauty Tool
Roll Your Way To Glowing Skin!
It’s an open secret. We hunt for the best beauty products or tips to achieve the level of beauty that sets us apart from the rest. However, beauty isn’t just defined by one’s outward appearance ~ healthy skin plays an important role too. There are numerous products available in the market and many, many more beauty tips with some amazing results.
I first heard of jade rolling on Instagram. Although I wasn’t entirely sure what benefits jade rolling held, curiosity got the best of me. Plus, this hand-held device is straight-up beautiful!
*FYI* When purchasing a jade roller, you may have to verify that the stone used is actually jade. I have noticed that if there is a product that gains significant popularity, you will find counterfeit products for the same. Similarly, not every green stone is Jade. Some jade rollers are made using glass infused with green dye, so you don’t really get to reap any of the natural benefits of the stone. My advice: Read reviews and purchase through a reputable brand.
Now, before we get into my personal experience with jade rolling, I think it’s important to talk about the history and understand the benefits of Jade.
History: Jade rollers date all the way back to the 12th century. This unique anti-ageing device was favoured by the nobles and royal women in Ancient China; with history stating that every emperor’s wife had a jade roller in her beauty cabinet. Believed to be a powerful semi-precious stone and one that granted immortality, emperors of China were even buried in jade suits!
Benefits: In a nutshell, the roller works through massage to improve blood circulation and stimulate lymphatic drainage. Additionally, jade rolling improves skin elasticity and tightens and reduces pore size. It also smooths down wrinkles by stimulating collagen production and reduces puffiness and dark under-eye circles.
According to research, jade rolling is considered a remedy for anxiety and fatigue. And, the stone itself is believed to have deep healing properties ~ protecting you from negative energy and balancing your chi. Chi is also known as Prana in Sanskrit, the warm current, Kundalini power, or the electromagnetic life force. So now I’m really curious, maybe jade rolling is the real deal?
What Is a Jade Roller and How Does It Work
Did I mention that this skincare device is absolutely beautiful! So much so, that I may want to “accidentally” leave it lying around for my friends to “discover”.
The beauty tool has a smaller jade stone, shaped like an oval bead at one end for the under-eye area, and a larger oval jade bead on the opposite end for your entire face; with a single gold wire holding the pieces in place. The handle is made of jade too, making it easy to hold and to roll. So apart from its elegant, simple, and effective design ~ it’s very easy to carry around, as well.
My Jade Rolling Experience
Most of us have tried using ice cubes to soothe pimples, sunburns, and skin inflammation. So, to get double the benefits from my jade roller, I placed it in the refrigerator and left it in there overnight. The next morning, I washed my face and applied a face serum. I then used the jade roller over my skin for a very soothing effect. The first noticeable benefit was the calming of my morning “puffy face” which most of us experience when we work for long hours or sleep late.
Next, I used the jade roller with an upward motion, moving it along the contours of my face ~ continuously rolling back and forth in the same spot a few times ~ I could feel the massage getting deep down into my muscles and working to relieve any built-up tension. The device also soothes stress-related headaches when massaged onto the temples and forehead.
As I began to use it regularly, I noticed an overall improvement in my skin tone and a significant reduction in pore size. Additionally, my face started looking slimmer, and the skin around my eyes became firmer.
To conclude: Other than being a nice addition to my skincare routine; my biggest takeaway is that the roller showed positive results in the first few days. It reduced the inflammation in my active spots, which showed in size and redness.
Jade rolling has now become an essential part of my life. I use it every single morning and most nights. And during these few months of usage, I have not seen any negative effects on my skin. I would recommend jade rolling to anyone who wants radiant, healthy-looking skin.

Here’s how I use my Jade Roller:
•For best results, start by rolling the jade roller on the lower part of the face and work upwards from the chin.
•Roll in both up and down and side-ward directions, being careful around the delicate under-eye area.
•Most effective on cleansed skin.
A simple beauty tool that makes you feel so amazing! Glad you’ve been using yours, Reena.
I’ve recently come to realise that non-invasive results driven skincare gives the same results with consistent use as any invasive treatment! Since I was unsure if I have been using the Jade Roller correctly, your quick guide definitely came in handy. Thank you or sharing.

Amazing pictures! It’s a great tool to be used at home for a quick facial massage. Have you tried White Jade, Tanya? It’s a variety of Nephrite Jade that has an opaque white to cream colour. Physically, White Jade assists the body to heal itself. It is a calming and grounding, and also protects the user from negative energies.
Thank you for sharing, Rajkumari. Whether you’re looking for acne treatment, healing scar tissue, or just want that summer glow look – the Jade roller will nourish your skin the way it needs to be!
