The first thing you should know: These tools aren’t made of real jade.
Beauty bloggers looking for a holistic approach to skin treatment are embracing the practice of jade rolling, a surprisingly traditional skincare method. And this trend goes way back: Jade rollers date back to the Qing Dynasty, as an integral beauty tool for wealthy Chinese people of the 17th century. Beauty influencers looking to revive the long-lost trend have suggested jade's mystical "healing" attributes as a reason to use the tool.
The tools sold by mass retailers for around $10 to $40 are likely made of other similarly-colored stones, such as aventurine quartz , bowenite serpentine, or dyed marble. These jade imposters boast similar physical qualities, like a cool and smooth exterior, but in much more affordable materials. How do you use a jade roller? With a clean jade roller, start in the center of a freshly washed face and work outward and upward toward the edges. As with most skincare application methods, it’s best to work against gravity and avoid tugging at the skin.
What do people claim it does? Jade roller fans link the tools to many skin benefits, including: helping lymphatic drainage ; smoothing wrinkles; tightening pores; and boosting collagen to help with the skin’s elasticity. Another claim is that using a facial roller immediately after applying skincare creams or serums helps the active ingredients penetrate deeper into the skin.
While science doesn’t fully support the claims, that doesn’t mean that jade rollers are useless. As for whether jade rolling makes facial creams work better, Dr. Suzanne Friedler, a board-certified fellow of the American Academy of Dermatology based in New York City, says that could be a benefit, although the result would be due to the movement of the roller, not the type of stone. “Anytime you’re massaging in an ingredient, it may enhance the penetration,” she says.
