If you’ve ever found yourself curious and wondering, “why exactly are people massaging their faces with a face roller and how does it work?” then read on to know about all the different face roller benefits that you can experience!
The simple act of massaging your face with a face roller has a ton of benefits for your skin. Let’s look at some skin benefits that make it a staple for modern skincare.
1. Improves blood flow to the face
A face massage roller is great way to stimulate blood flow to your face. Increased blood circulation means your face will appear fresher, brighter, and warmer. It also increases the production of collagen, a structural protein, in skin.
2. Greater absorption of skin care products
Instead of using your palms to massage skincare products like serums and creams into your skin, simply take the help of a massage roller. A face roller helps in better and deeper absorption of the product into your skin. Moreover, using a skincare product also helps the roller glide more smoothly across the face.
3. Skin tightening
One of the many benefits of using a face massage roller is that it can have a very soothing effect on your skin. Rolling it across your face can tighten facial muscles, make your face less puffy, and improve the elasticity of the skin.
Here’s a pro tip: Before using your facial roller, keep it in the fridge for some time. This will add a cooling sensation and relax your facial muscles.
4. Reduces Puffiness
Rubbing a face massage roller across your face, particularly around the eyes can stimulate lymphatic drainage, which can help reduce eye bags as well as any other visible puffiness. By massaging the face and eye, it may be possible to disperse this fluid.
5. Replenishes Skin Cells
Using a facial roller is just as good as getting a proper facial massage. It replenishes skin cells and energizes your face, giving it a unique and long-lasting glow.
How to use a facial roller?
To use a facial roller, follow these steps:
- Clean your face using a gentle cleanser and pat dry with a clean towel.
- Add skincare products: Apply a facial oil, serum, or moisturizer that’s slippery enough, to the face. This will add lubrication and prevent irritation, otherwise the tool can pull or tug your skin.
- Roll Upwards and in one direction: Start the roller at your neck and roll upward. For best results, roll up, never roll from side to side or up and down.
- Roll outwards from your jawline to your ear on both sides using gentle pressure. You can continue this motion for about 1 minute all the way from your jaw to your cheekbone.
- Roll flat along the eye brows, and then upwards on the forehead: Roll from your forehead up toward your hairline, only in the upward direction. Roll flat over your eyebrows horizontally, if there is any discomfort or pain, reduce the pressure.
- Clean your face roller with rubbing alcohol after each use to prevent the spread of bacteria.
Tips: Keeping your face roller in the refrigerator and use it in the morning helps tightens pores. It’s also great to use for headaches. Use it two to three times a week, for at least five minutes to achieve the best result.
