The concept of self-care comes in many forms, but perhaps the most widely acknowledged form is a little self-pampering. We can't always hit up our favorite salons and parlors for self-care, so we do what we can at home. While things like sheet masks, a little vino, and a tub full of suds are glorious, there are a lot of other ways to invest in yourself. One of the most unlikely ways? A jade roller. And if you are going to indulge, according to over 2,300 people, it should be specifically for this one.
While it seems suspect that such a simple ritual could ever make such a difference, this is a fairly tried-and-true practice.
Rollers distribute lymphatic fluid around the face for a more toned appearance. Dermatologist Dr. Jennifer Chwalek, M.D., told HuffPost that "whenever there’s stagnant circulation or swelling at all in the face, massage can help that lymph fluid drain into the [proper] channels and away from around your eyes and certain areas where it tends to settle." It also helps serums absorb into the face, especially when used on top of a sheet mask.
Meet Roselyn Boutique's Jade Roller and Gua Sha Set, a facial skin massager for the face, body, eyes, and neck.
Ideally used three times a day, this cool roller ($19.95) not only feels uber refreshing, but it is also said to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles with regular use. Simply pop the roller and stone massager in the freezer for a minute and then run along your t-zone, neck, and under the chin for glowy, de-puffed skin.

This Amazon customer raved:
"I never thought this roller could be so helpful and now it's rescuing my face. 3 months ago I thought this is simply a relaxing face massager, to be honest, I doubted its efficiency and necessity. Then I found some videos talk about jade roller using tips, along with researching on Google about its benefits, I decided to give it a try because I’ve been struggling with these dark circles and eyes bags for years, sometimes I even wake up in the morning with the extremely puffy eyes. So I started rolling this massager every day, especially focus on the under eyes area. After the first week, I already notice that my eyes bags were lightly smaller."
Reviewer Claire Grove said that this roller was a game changer after she was recovering from a cold.
"I ordered the Jade Roller & Gua Sha after a friend recommended it and saw the difference around her eyes, which is her problem area. A few days before mine arrived, I had developed a bad cold and I was feeling sick and tired and my face was very puffy. I looked pretty bad and thought that I'd have to wait days for the puffiness to go away. Within 12 hours of using the roller twice, all of the swelling was gone from my face and I looked refreshed and younger. It truly does move the lymph. Now I'm looking forward to the long-term benefits."
Literally thousands of others noted that they saw results rather quickly, and overall, it felt like a luxe, generous, and affordable way to indulge in a little self-care.
So if you're looking to treat yourself and get a little more out of it than a onetime indulgence, invest in this under-$20 jade roller. You and your skin won't be disappointed.
