Natural stone roller massagers

More and more women are becoming fans of massage practices as methods of improving their well-being and preserving beauty. One of the helpers in this matter is a facial massage roller made of natural stones.

Read about the benefits that made it so popular, as well as other aspects, such as the nuances of choice and how to use it, in this article.

These massagers have many advantages that have made them popular. Let's take a look at some of them.

• Natural stones have a beneficial effect on the condition of the skin - they contribute to its healing and restoration. Similar properties of natural stones have been known for a long time. It is noteworthy that not all stones have a beneficial effect on the skin, only some are used as massagers.
• Fight edema. Due to the fact that the roller massagers for the face made of natural stone remain cool after cooling for a long time, when in contact with the skin, they cause increased blood circulation, which, in turn, reduces facial swelling.
• Promotes lymphatic drainage. When in contact with the back of the neck behind the ears, rollers improve lymphatic drainage. This is possible due to the fact that blood circulation around the lymph nodes improves, and they begin to work harder. The effect can be seen almost immediately - local edema on the face is reduced. Essentially, lymphatic drainage is the detoxification of the body. In this case, local detoxification occurs - on the face.
• Fight wrinkles. As a rule, rollers are used precisely for a cosmetic effect - to combat wrinkles.
• Relaxation. It has been noticed that facial massage is generally relaxing. This is especially noticeable on skin with psoriasis.

Despite the numerous advantages, there are, unfortunately, some disadvantages of skaters.

• Surface effect. Some customers note the fact that even after regular morning and sometimes even night massage sessions, there is no visible improvement in complexion and skin condition. The reason, obviously, lies in the fact that there are other factors that affect the appearance of the skin. Thus, we can say that the effect of the massage roller is sometimes exaggerated, and it can only be used as an additional therapy to a healthy lifestyle. Remember that roller massage will not increase collagen production.
• The presence of a large number of fakes, as well as products sold at an overpriced price. At the dawn of their popularity, rollers cost about $ 10, now their price starts from $ 30 and goes up to $ 100, or even more.

The most famous massage rollers are made from several natural stones.

• Rose quartz. This is the most popular natural stone roller at the moment. It is considered effective in combating fine lines and wrinkles.
• Nephritis. These rollers have a beautiful green marble pattern. They are also quite popular. As the ancient Chinese believed, it is this stone that is best suited for facial massage, as it relieves puffiness well.
• Obsidian. According to legends, obsidian stone, when in contact with the skin, improves the complexion.
• Amethyst. It is believed that amethyst roller is best purchased for those with sensitive and problem skin. Amethyst soothes her.

And also massage rollers can be made of onyx, rock crystal, moonstone, desert sand, jasper, amber and even tiger's eye. These stones are often used for roller skating because they have low thermal conductivity. Simply put, they heat up very slowly on contact with the skin. Thus, for massage, you can choose any roller that heats up slowly.

An important aspect is the integrity of the massager - there should be no chips, cracks or protruding elements on the rollers. The reason is simple - they can damage the skin. Due to the great popularity of this kind of products, many fakes have appeared.

Roller massage improves the skin's ability to absorb substances applied to it. Therefore, before you start using the roller, you need to wash off your makeup and (preferably) apply a nourishing cream or natural oil. If you want to reduce facial swelling, then it is better, according to the instructions for the massager, to massage it in the morning, and first put the roller in the refrigerator overnight. Also, such a cold massage improves skin tone and has a long-term effect.

The technique of massage with a roller is quite simple - you need to move from the center of the face to the outside. You can use the massager on the entire accessible surface of the face. The large roller is intended for large areas of the face (forehead, cheeks), and the small roller is intended for small areas of the face (nasolabial fold, nose, area around the eyes).

The massage scheme recommended by cosmetologists is as follows.

• The chin. Move from the middle of your chin to your earlobes.
• Cheeks and cheekbones. Move from nose to ears.
• Eyes. It is impossible to use the massager under the eyes, move from the outside of the eye to the temples.
• Forehead. Here you need to move from the brow and bridge of the nose to the area of ​​the hairline. Move in all directions, drawing rays.

Thus, it is clear that it is necessary to conditionally divide the face in half, except for the forehead area. One "circle" of massage over the entire face usually takes no more than 5 minutes. Try to massage so that the roller slightly lifts the skin upwards. Simply put, when driving the roller, try to direct it slightly higher towards the edge of your face. In this way, a light lifting effect can be created.

For each such "line" you can make 3-4 repetitions. The amount of time for massage with a roller is not limited. If the skin begins to turn red, then this is a good sign. With regular "redness" of the skin, massage can be considered effective.
