The lymphatic system is your body’s way of getting rid of toxins and unwanted bacteria in the body. So by rolling in a certain direction, you can improve the lymphatic flow and drainage of the face. Kady Valente recommends always applying a serum or moisturiser before using a roller.
Benefits of using a face roller:
- Improves lymphatic flow and drainage.
- Improves blood flow.
- Reduces puffiness.
- Reduces inflammation.
- Cools and soothes skin.
- Provides relaxation.
- Reduces stress.
- Distributes skincare ingredients more even
Once you get it home, here’s how to use your face roller:
- Wash your face. A face roller works best on freshly clean skin.
- Don’t overlook the fridge. If you want that cooling effect, place your face roller in the fridge to keep the stone cold.
- Add skincare products. You can use your face roller to apply moisturiser or serum to your skin more evenly.
- Roll down and out. The direction you roll in matters — roll outwards from the center of your face. Around the eyes, for example, roll away from your eyes to decrease puffiness.
- Don’t go back and forth. Resist the urge to roll back and forth as that doesn’t help improve blood flow to the face.
- Keep track of time. You only need 5 minutes a day or every other day. Using a face roller for longer won’t give you different results.
- Clean your face roller after each use to get rid of any skin bacteria and get rid of any product residue that can build up.
- Give it a roll.
How often should you use your face roller?
Use it two to three times a week, for at least five minutes, and you’ll see the difference to your face in a couple of weeks.
If you are looking for a tool that can be used quickly, is convenient and helps with de-puffing and lymphatic drainage – opt for a Face Roller.
