Great beginner tool
When using facial rollers we are encouraging lymphatic drainage - removing waste toxins and fluids from the body via our lymph nodes - with added visible benefits such as reduced puffiness and boosted glow!
When using your facial roller at home there are a few important things to keep in mind:
Always begin on your neck to clear the lymph pathways before starting on the face.
Use a light hand with gentle pressure and the tool will do the rest.
Always clean your roller or gua sha after use.
Begin with a cleansed face, apply your serum and moisturizer and then begin facial massage using either a facial roller or gua sha - the tool will aid with deeper penetration of product!
PRO TIP: Store your facial roller or gua sha in the fridge for a cooling massage & reduced inflammation.
