How to use a facial roller correctly?

Facial rollers are popular beauty tools. Correct use can improve skin care effects, but incorrect operation may affect skin condition. Mastering scientific methods is the key to exerting its effectiveness.

Preparation work before use cannot be ignored. The roller must be cleaned first. Metal or jade rollers can be rinsed with mild soapy water. Silicone rollers can be disinfected with alcohol cotton pads to avoid bacterial residues causing skin problems. At the same time, clean the face and apply skin care essence or cream to increase lubrication and reduce friction between the roller and the skin.

The operation method has clear direction and strength requirements. Starting from the jawline, roll upward to behind the ear, repeat 3-5 times to help drain excess moisture from the face; push gently from the nose to the temple on the cheekbones, avoiding the fragile skin around the eyes; roll from the center of the eyebrows to the hairline on the forehead. Pay attention to the strength to be gentle, so that the skin is slightly warm. Excessive force may cause redness or capillary dilation.

The frequency and time of use need to be reasonably controlled. It is recommended to use it 3-4 times a week for normal skin, and each time the single side of the face should not exceed 1 minute. For sensitive skin, it should be reduced to 1-2 times a week to avoid excessive stimulation. It can be used with a wake-up essence in the morning to eliminate swelling, and it can promote the absorption of the cream at night, but it should be noted that it should be avoided when acne is inflamed or the skin is damaged to prevent aggravating skin problems.

The method needs to be adjusted when using rollers of different materials. Jade rollers are suitable for use after being refrigerated, as they can shrink pores and relieve redness; metal rollers have strong thermal conductivity and can be used with facial masks to enhance the cooling effect; silicone rollers have a soft texture and are more suitable for massaging sensitive skin after cleansing. The rollers must be cleaned promptly after use and stored dry to prevent water stains from breeding bacteria.

Mastering the correct usage method, the facial roller can become a powerful assistant for daily skin care. It promotes circulation through gentle massage, improves the absorption efficiency of skin care products, and makes the skin care steps more ritualistic and effective.
