Whoever came up with the "beauty is pain" philosophy obviously never met the skin care devices below. Each of these products gently rolls, glides or massages over your face to make your beauty routine less of a chore and more of an in-home spa treatment.
At first glance, these tools might seem simple, but each one is said to improve the texture and tone of your skin, help other skin care products work better and keep your skin looking fresh in between treatments. Our experts tell us how each one works its magic with this guide on rolling back the clock to reveal smoother, firmer, brighter skin.
2. Nurse Jamie Instant UpLift (1 piece)
What it does: Firm, tone and energize your skin
How it works: Skin care expert to the stars Nurse Jamie created the Instant UpLift with a unique hexagon shape and strategically placed massaging stones to energize, enhance and revive your skin. "The hexagonal shape of the Uplift Facial Roller implements a rhythmic rolling action," says Nurse Jamie, "replicating the techniques used in my signature facials at our exclusive spas helping to improve the appearance of skin tone for a more renewed, youthful-looking you!”
As a busy mother of three, Jamie wanted to make the UpLift as user-friendly as possible, which is why all you have to do is press and roll to see results, including de-puffing and firming action. With continued use, the UpLift offers benefits similar to extended massage therapy: "muscle relaxation and improved circulation which results in a more youthful and glowing complexion,” explains Jamie.
4. Jade Roller Beauty Jade Roller PRO - Yellow Jade (1 piece)
What it does: Flush toxins and stimulate collagen production
How it works: Licensed acupuncturist and clinical herbalist Melody Zara Hoffman, who also holds a master’s degree in traditional Chinese medicine, uses a jade roller both personally and in her professional practice.
Hoffman tells us that the jade roller has both short-term and long-term skin benefits. In the short term, jade rolling can decrease puffiness and energize tired skin—such as after a long flight or a sleepless night. In the long term, Hoffman notes that benefits include “boosting blood circulation, increasing skin elasticity, lymphatic drainage, reduction in puffiness, diminishing fine lines, reducing dark circles under the eyes, tightening pores and lifting and toning the muscles of the face, neck and jawline.”
