Our fashion hand lens has spotted a new beauty trend and it is called a Jade roller!

But what exactly is a Jade roller? The ‘paint-roller’ type thing is a beauty tool made of authentic and beautiful jade stone which is rolled across the skin for complexion-perfecting purposes.

Jade rollers have been a staple in Chinese skincare routines since the 7th century, and are believed to have healing and protective properties. The handheld massagers are usually dual-ended with two jade stone heads that allegedly boost blood circulation, reduce swelling, and help your skincare products penetrate deeper. Basically, they’re supposed to be a quick, easy cure for daily skincare struggles like dark under-eye circles and puffiness from fatigue. The increase in circulation can also help smooth out fine lines and wrinkles.

The jade roller is pretty easy to use, it only requires that you simply roll upwards and outwards on your face and neck. You literally “lift” and roll the wrinkles and impurities up and out of your skin.

The benefits of a jade roller include:

• improve blood circulation and skin tone
• improve the elasticity of the skin
• promote lymphatic drainage
• reduce puffiness and wrinkles
• reduce dark under eye circles
• eliminating toxins
• the jade roller can also tighten pores since the jade remains cold even when in direct contact with the skin

Pretty amazing, right? you have to give this a try.
