Do I Need a Facial Roller?

What is worse than waking up to swollen eyes and puffy cheeks? If you have allergies, you know this feeling all too well. I have very bad allergies, indoor and outdoor, allergic to everything. My eyes are swollen almost everyday because of these allergies. I researched so many ways how to get rid of this annoying puffiness. Laying down with ice packs or cucumbers over my eyes just doesn’t cut it for me. It is uncomfortable and cold! I have also followed youtube videos to try lymphatic drainage on my face but something about touching my face makes me feel like I am going to break out! 

I’ve always seen these facial rollers and tools all over Instagram. During the Sephora VIB sale, I decided to pick some up to try them out. I purchased the Mount Lai De-Puffing Rose Quartz Facial Roller ($38) as well as the Mount Lai Rose Quartz Eye Treatment Tool ($30). Once they arrived, I placed them in my makeup fridge to sit overnight and tried them out! 

The massage that is given by using the face roller helps improve blood circulation in the face to help make your skin glow. Its goal is to drain excess fluid from your face in order to decrease puffiness by stimulating the lymphatic system. Let me start by saying that the facial rolling feels AMAZING! I usually use the roller along with the Fresh Vitamin Nectar Glow Juice Antioxidant Face Serum ($28). Another great benefit of facial rollers is that it allows the skin to absorb more product so it works better. 

Here is how I roll my face. First I start under my eyes using the smaller side of the roller, making sure that I don't push too hard in this area because it is so delicate. TIP! You always want to roll outwards towards the edge of your face and in one direction, don’t roll back and forth. Next I roll outwards on my brow bone. This one really helps my sinuses and allergies feel better (this is my favorite place to roll). Then I move to my forehead and switch to the larger end. I roll upwards to my hairline. Next I roll at my jawline outwards towards my ear. Lastly I roll down my neck to push out the fluid for the final time. 

I really love this face roller that I bought. I think the facial roller is better than the eye treatment tool just because it is easier to use and feels amazing. I truly saw a difference in my puffiness in my eyes and all over my face.

Let me know what your favorite facial roller is!
