Hey Bestie, Let’s Talk Facial Rollers: Your New Skincare BFF


Okay, so let’s dive into something that’s been blowing up in the skincare world—facial rollers. If you’re like me, you’ve probably seen these gorgeous little tools all over Instagram and wondered, “Do I need one of those?” Spoiler alert: Yes, you do! But let’s break it down together, and by the end of this, you’ll be adding one to your cart.

What the Heck Is a Facial Roller?

First things first—what exactly is a facial roller? This handheld tool is usually made from a pretty crystal or stone, with one or two rolling heads on either end. You use it to massage your face, and it’s as simple as it sounds: you just roll it over your skin. But don’t let the simplicity fool you—these little guys pack a punch when boosting your skincare routine.

The Benefits: Why You Need a Facial Roller in Your Life

So, why should you care? Let me give you the lowdown on why facial rollers are basically the best thing since sliced bread (okay, maybe that’s a stretch, but you get me).

  1. De-Puff Like a Pro: If you’ve ever woken up with puffy eyes or a face that looks like it’s still halfway asleep, a facial roller is your new morning bestie. The rolling motion helps to drain lymphatic fluid, which reduces puffiness and gives your face a more sculpted, awake look. Bye-bye, puffiness!

  2. Boost Circulation: Rolling a cool stone over your face not only feels amazing, but it also boosts blood circulation. More blood flow equals a more radiant complexion, and who doesn’t want that healthy, just-got-back-from-vacation glow?

  3. Product Absorption on Point: You know those expensive serums and moisturizers you swear by? A facial roller helps them sink deeper into your skin. Just apply your skincare products, and then roll away. It’s like giving your products a VIP pass to work their magic even better.

  4. Relaxation Station: Let’s be real—life is stressful, and we all need a little pampering. Using a facial roller is a mini massage for your face. It’s super calming, and it helps relieve tension, especially around your jaw and forehead. Plus, it’s a great way to wind down before bed.

Different Types of Facial Rollers: Which One’s for You?


Now that you’re all in, let’s talk about the different types of facial rollers out there. Yup, there’s more than one, and each type has its own special vibe. Here’s the rundown:

  1. Jade Rollers: These are the OG facial rollers and probably what you’ve seen the most. Jade is known for its cooling properties and is thought to have balancing and calming effects on your skin. It’s great for de-puffing and soothing irritation. Plus, jade rollers are just so pretty to look at!

  2. Rose Quartz Rollers: If you’re all about that self-love and heart chakra energy, rose quartz is your stone. These rollers are believed to promote love and peace, making them perfect for a little self-care ritual. On the skincare side, they’re awesome for cooling, soothing, and reducing redness.

  3. Amethyst Rollers: Got stressed-out skin? Amethyst is your go-to. This stone is known for its calming and anti-inflammatory properties, making it ideal for sensitive or acne-prone skin. It’s also said to help with stress relief, so consider it a two-for-one deal for your skin and your soul.

  4. Obsidian Rollers: Obsidian is a volcanic stone known for its grounding and protective qualities. This roller is a bit different because it’s not as cooling as the others—it actually retains heat a little, which can be super soothing for muscle tension and boosting circulation.

  5. Metal Rollers: Okay, so these aren’t stones, but they’re still worth mentioning. Metal rollers, usually made of stainless steel, are fantastic for staying cool longer, which is great for reducing puffiness. Plus, they’re super easy to clean and ultra-durable.

How to Use a Facial Roller: Let’s Roll!

Using a facial roller is seriously one of the easiest things you’ll ever do. Here’s how to do it like a pro:

  1. Start Clean: Always use your facial roller on a clean face. You don’t want to be rolling around any dirt or makeup.

  2. Apply Your Skincare: Put on your serum, oil, or moisturizer—whatever you’re using that day. The roller will help these products absorb better.

  3. Roll Upwards: Always roll upwards and outwards—never down! You want to lift your skin, not drag it down. Start at your neck and work your way up to your face.

  4. Eyes and Jawline: Use the smaller end of the roller for under your eyes and your jawline. Be gentle around these areas!

  5. Clean It Up: After each use, clean your roller with a damp cloth or a gentle cleanser to keep it hygienic.

Final Thoughts: Ready to Roll?

Facial rollers are more than just a beauty trend—they’re a legit game-changer in your skincare routine. Whether you’re dealing with puffiness, looking for a glow boost, or just need a little stress relief, there’s a facial roller out there for you. Plus, they’re so easy to use, and let’s be honest, they’re pretty enough to leave out on your vanity.

So go ahead, treat yourself to a facial roller. Your skin (and your sanity) will thank you. Let’s roll, bestie!

THE # 1 THING TO CONSIDER IN FASHION

Underwear that Fits Correctly ARTICLE: https://www.notdressedaslamb.com/2017/03/the-number-1-trick-that-makes-all-your-clothes-look-good.html There is one very easy trick to making all your clothes look good (even when you’re wearing your own 34-year-old Duran Duran t-shirt – the oldest piece of clothing I own by a very, very long way). That number 1 trick? Get your underwear right. Oh, I can’t tell you how many years I spent wearing the wrong kind of underwear. The wrong size bra, ill-fitting knickers, the wrong  shape  bras… I’ve learnt a new trick just recently – but first, that t-shirt! My original Duran Duran Seven and the Ragged Tiger tour t-shirt is mine –  from 1983 . I cannot tell you how happy I am to be wearing my most treasured t-shirt and oldest item in my wardrobe, an item I thought until recently was most probably lost. I knew I hadn’t deliberately got rid of it, I just knew I’d put it somewhere ‘safe’ (that old chestnut!) and I’d been looking for...
