What Is a Jade Roller and How Does It Work? We Asked an Expert


Jade roller may be 2017’s most buzzed-about beauty buy, but what most don’t know is that this radiance-boosting, cheekbone-defining, detoxifying gem is nothing new. In fact, what is now a favorite among spa owners, wellness editors, top models and self-proclaimed beauty addicts is actually more than a thousand years old and was once reserved only for the Chinese royalties.

Dermstore: What is a jade roller and how does it work?

Leila Carter: The jade roller is a beauty tool made of authentic and beautiful jade stone which is rolled across the skin for complexion-perfecting purposes.

Just like working out, jade rolling can offer esthetic and health benefits. Jade rolling feels like a tension-relieving, relaxing facial massage which helps to drain lymphatic fluid that is held stagnant beneath the tissue. This fluid acts as a “bath water” of sorts for the cells, refreshing and replenishing nutrients.

D: What are the benefits of using a jade roller? What skin concerns will it ultimately treat?

LC: Think of jade rolling like a workout for your face and neck. It boosts circulation, tones the muscles, stimulates collagen production, flushes out toxins and can even help your serums get absorbed faster and work better. There are so many signs of aging that can be relieved by revitalizing the flow of lymph and stimulating the skin with jade rolling. By draining excess fluid, jade rollers can visibly uplift the cheekbones, tone the face and reduce puffiness and inflammation, one of the root causes of aging. It can also smooth fine lines, tighten sagging skin, increase cell turnover rate and diminish dark under-eye circles.
