If You Haven't Already, It's Time to Treat Yourself to a Face Massage Roller
I've been in the beauty industry for 4+ years now, although my background is originally in fine arts. In between researching and publishing our guides, I’m usually snacking and making spontaneous (and somewhat chaotic) choices about what to do with my hair.
There’s something quite magical about using a face massage roller.
Often crafted from nature’s most beautiful crystals, they make your nightstand look super cute and can sort your skin right out.
But what exactly does a Rose Quartz facial roller do, and how do you use one?
Crystals are known for their soothing qualities and good energetic vibrations. Many people keep crystals around their house and on their person to ward off bad energy and entice the good.
Combine that with a slow, conscious rolling action, and your face and body are bound to see some benefits. But, do face rollers work? And what are the face roller benefits?
Our need-to-know guide will help you pick a roller and facial massager that’s right for your skin, and get in the routine of using it.

Do face rollers slim your face? Well, the only way you’re going to naturally lose weight from your face is if you eat a healthy diet and exercise regularly.
What a face roller will do is help depuff the skin, so you appear temporarily slimmer, which is pretty perfect before a night out!
Do jade face rollers work? Jade has been used for thousands of years as part of a beauty routine. The stone is said to represent health, vitality, and prosperity, and it’s said to draw out impurities. Some claim that a Jade face roller is great for reducing redness and inflammation in the skin.
But with so many beautiful stones and crystals on offer, how do you know what stone is best for your facial roller?
Whether you like the look of a gua sha or are on the hunt for a Green Jade or Purple Amethyst roller, there’s something special about every gem you choose.
Let's Start with the Best Rose Quartz Rollers:
Rose Quartz is the stone of love and is believed to open the heart chakra. When used on the face, it can help with stagnation and hyperpigmentation.
The Stone of Unconditional Love
To really enhance your beauty routine, the SALT BY HENDRIX Rose Quartz Face Roller will promote circulation and encourage skin cell rejuvenation. Beautiful by design, this Rose Quartz facial roller will combat puffiness and water retention by stimulating the lymphatic system. Use after you apply your serums and oils to promote radiance and encourage toned skin.
Encourages Skin Cell Rejuvenation
The SALT BY HENDRIX Rose Quartz Textured Rose Quartz Face Roller is a great alternative to the original roller. The pink stone instils a sense of inner peace, and the quartz face roller encourages unconditional self-acceptance. Roll this textured, double-ended Rose Quartz face roller from the jawline up and massage across the brows for a calming, depuffing effect.
This luxurious, hand-crafted face roller set comes from our first launch of Adore Beauty's own products. When used in combination with each other, this face roller and gua sha set can promote circulation, combat puffiness and enhance the absorption of your skincare products. These tools also make perfect gift for that special skincare-loving friend in your life, (or to keep for yourself).
And the Best Jade Face Rollers:
You might be asking yourself - Is a Rose Quartz or Jade roller better? It’s easier to think of them as just different.
Rose Quartz stays cool on the skin, whereas Jade warms up as you use it. Rose Quartz is thought to help minimise the signs of ageing skin, and both will address puffiness.
The Stone of Purity and Balance
The SALT BY HENDRIX Textured Jade Face Roller reduces puffiness and helps calm your skin down. A Jade face roller will help promote balance and improve circulation. Use after you apply your night oil to really work it into the skin.
Hand-crafted Jade Face Roller and Gua Sha Set
The Jade stone is known to instil confidence and promotes healing and balance. This exclusive Adore Beauty set includes a Jade face roller to promote circulation and help your skin to absorb your skincare and give your face a much-needed massage. The Jade Gua Sha is a great face sculpting tool as over time it can improve skin elasticity and the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Of course, there’s also Amethyst:
The Stone of Protection and Purification
Perhaps the prettiest of all the crystal rollers, the SALT BY HENDRIX Amethyst Face Roller wards off negativity while promoting a sense of calm. Some users vote it the best face roller. Made from real Amethyst, the Amethyst facial roller should be handled with care. Use the narrow roller around the eyes in the morning to help yourself wake up.
If you want to try something completely different, you could try the Aceology Ice Globe Facial Massager Set. Fast becoming Insta-famous, the little blue balls act as a mini Pilates workout for your face.

How to use a face roller in your routine?
Adding a face roller to your routine is great way to get the most out of your skincare products. The best time to use one is after you've cleansed your face and applied a hydrating serum or facial oil.
Ideally, you want a serum or oil that isn't going to absorb into your skin too quickly, so you've still got something to help glide the stone across your face. Some people with sensitive skin find that using a moisturiser works well too.
To use a neck & face roller, you'll want to start your movements from the centre of the face and move outwards. Roll gently about 5-10 times on each section of the face. Start by rolling up your neck to your jawline then across your jaw moving outwards towards your ears. Then, move across your cheeks from the centre of your face towards your hairline. From your brow line, slowly move across your temples then finish using the smaller stone under your eye area.
Keep face rollers and serums in the fridge to enhance the cool, relaxing effect and to help with depuffing of the face
How Often Should You Use a Face Roller?
Really, there’s no limit on how often you can give yourself a roller facial. They’re great at relieving stress and will always make you feel good. There are many face roller benefits.
As long as you’re not pressing too hard on the skin, using a face massage device such as a roller every day will be fine. It’s less a case of Jade vs Rose Quartz facial roller and more about just getting into the routine of rolling.
How long should you roll your face for? With a light touch, roll the face for 5 to 10 minutes to get the blood circulation going. Are facial rollers good for your skin? Yes.
And they’ll make you feel great! What’s not to love about a gemstone facial roller? Ahhh, it’s just oh-so-soothing!
