How do I use a face roller correctly?

Published in Skincare Techniques 2 mins read

To use a face roller correctly, focus on gently rolling upwards and outwards on clean, moisturized skin, aiming to stimulate lymphatic drainage and reduce puffiness.

Here's a breakdown of how to effectively use a face roller:

  1. Preparation:

    • Cleanse your face: Start with a clean face to avoid pushing dirt and bacteria into your pores.
    • Apply serum or moisturizer: This helps the roller glide smoothly and allows for better absorption of the product.
  2. Rolling Technique:

    • Direction: Always roll upwards and outwards, working against gravity.
    • Pressure: Use light to medium pressure. Avoid pressing too hard, as this can irritate the skin.
    • Areas to Focus On:
      • Neck: Roll upwards from the collarbone to the jawline to promote lymphatic drainage.
      • Jawline: Roll from the chin towards the ear to help define the jawline.
      • Cheeks: Roll from the nose outwards towards the ear.
      • Under Eyes: Gently roll outwards from the inner corner of the eye towards the temple.
      • Forehead: Roll upwards from the eyebrows to the hairline. You can also roll horizontally from the center of the forehead outwards towards the temples.
    • Behind the Ear: Rolling behind the ear like that helps to push the lymphatic fluid towards drainage points on the clavicle and behind the ear.
  3. Duration and Frequency:

    • Duration: Roll each area for a few minutes.
    • Frequency: You can use a face roller daily, either in the morning or evening.
  4. Post-Use:

    • Clean the roller: Wipe the roller with a damp cloth or gentle cleanser to remove any product buildup.
  5. Benefits:

    • Helps to clear stagnation that can cause double chins.

Tips for Enhanced Results:

  • Chill the roller: Store your face roller in the refrigerator for an extra cooling and soothing effect.
  • Consistency is key: Regular use will yield the best results.
