A two-sided facial massage roller whose heads are made of natural jade. The use of facial rollers goes back centuries in Chinese culture. The cool touch of the stone is pleasant in itself, and it offers a simple tool for a few minutes of soft, relaxing facial massage – at home, any time.
Jade, the treasured gemstone
Jade is one of the most treasured, cool-to-the-touch decorative stones in Chinese culture; this piece is jade from the Xinyi region. Tradition regards it as a stone of harmony and balance, and in many cultures it is seen as a stone of protection and good fortune.
How it is used
The larger head is for the broader areas of the face, chin and forehead, and the smaller one for around the eyes and finer areas. Glide it over the skin with light pressure in outward and upward movements, for a few minutes a day. Tradition links the roller with a refreshing, relaxing skincare routine; with a facial oil or serum the head rolls even more smoothly.
Properties and size
The roller is about 14 cm long, with a metal frame and two jade heads. As a natural stone, colour and veining vary from piece to piece – every one is unique.
Good to know and care
After use, wipe the heads with a soft, clean cloth and keep them in a dry place. The cooling effect can be enhanced by chilling the roller briefly in the fridge. Massage is a pleasant complement to relaxation and skincare, not a medical treatment.
