People may assume that Jade Rollers have become the newest trend to hit the beauty world, however, they actually date back to twelfth-century! Chinese women have used Jade Rollers to perfect their beauty and promote youthful skin since the 12th Century. In the past, only the richest and most powerful women of their time were able to possess such a prized treasure. Today we can all benefit from the simple, yet effective treatment! Jade facial rollers integrate natural energy from the stone, while the coolness of the jade closes pores, promotes blood circulation, reduces puffiness, wrinkling and more. In the past few years, they've slowly transformed from a somewhat obscure skin-care device to a mainstream must-have for beauty junkies. It makes sense; they promise to solve an array of common skin problems, including wrinkles and puffiness! WHAT IS A JADE ROLLER? A Jade Roller is like a little rolling pin for your face, made of the gemstone jade, which can vary in colour from very pale green to a deep turquoise. One of the many powers of jade is because it's a cooling and nonporous stone-meaning it won't retain bacteria. WHAT DO JADE ROLLERS DO? Jade Rollers are said to do everything from sculpting, toning, and firming skin to boosting circulation, enhancing glow, reducing puffiness, minimising fine lines, improving elasticity, detoxifying, and helping skincare products penetrate better. It’s important to ensure you get authentic Jade. HOW TO USE A JADE ROLLER? If you use your Jade Roller in the correct way, you will be sure to reap all of the skincare benefits. Start in the middle of the face, work your way down the neck to help to promote lymphatic flow. It is important to roll up and out in order to draw fluid away from the face. One mustn’t forget areas like your lips and neck, which are often neglected areas that can show signs of aging. Be sure to apply gentle but consistent pressure. WHAT TO COMBINE IT WITH? When using your jade roller we would highly recommend using a serum suitable to your skin needs. With the affects of ageing, we opted for an instant smoother serum from Dr. Grandel. It is an active ingredient ampoule for an immediate smoothing effect. The serum instantly evens out, matfies and refines the complexion. The serum, which can be purchased separately from Dermaroller Systems refines pores, mats and reduces oily shine and improves the skin’s moisture conditions. WHERE TO PURCHASE YOURS? We simply love the team at Dermaroller Systems SA, who stock almost every skincare product every girl would dream of having! Their jade rollers come in a variety of colours and cost a very reasonable price of R295.00 inc. VAT.
