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:
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Post-Use:
- Clean the roller: Wipe the roller with a damp cloth or gentle cleanser to remove any product buildup.
-
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.
