ROLLING STONES: Your guide to everything you need to know about Facial Rollers
Facial rollers are taking social media by storm right now!
And so we at #HAULHQ have prepared a guide to everything you need to know about Facial Rollers, the stones they are made with and how to care for them!
These great rollers are typically made from jade, rose quartz and other crystals with different powerful spiritual and energetic properties. Hence, we are not surprised face rollers have increased in popularity over the past few months.
The idea of rolling a stone over your face seems relatively easy, but how does face rolling really work? Will it make a difference if you include face rolling into my everyday skincare routine?
The answer is YES!
Â
Facial massages, in general, relax the tissues and make the lines less prominent as there is increased blood flow with the massage; at the same time collagen production rises, collagen is a protein that holds the skin firm and prevents it from sagging.
These facial rollers are designed to gently massage your face, stimulate the lymphatic system to expel toxins, ease muscle tension and increase blood flow to increase your skin’s glow.
The face roller also has de-puffing potential, making your face look slimmer temporarily. Over time, using a face roller can contour your face! (Yes, you are reading this correctly). If done twice a day, every day, face rolling is said to tone facial muscles and contour the face.
Now that you know the benefits of face rolling, you might be asking yourself:
“So how do I know which one to choose?”
While discovering which crystal is most suitable for you, we suggest learning each crystal’s individual properties and picking the one that best aligns with your desires and appeals to you the most.
There are many crystals with different properties. at #HAULHQ we’ve compiled a list of our top 4 stones:

Tips on How to Roll your face:
First, start with your usual skincare routine, making sure to wash your face with a facial cleanser and finish off by applying your preferred moisturizer, oil or serum to your face and neck.
For our June #HAUL we’ve taken the hassle out of the equation by pairing the incredible rollers from Mount Lai, with the Madagascan Coconut Energising serum from Organic and Botanic!
Ideal for all skin types! It is aimed at reducing the effects of ageing while ensuring firmer, smoother and vibrant skin! Did we also mention that the products are 100% vegan & cruelty-free? <3
Ok, follow these tips on how to properly use your face roller:
-
Always do face rolling upwards and in one direction – never roll up and down.
-
Repeat up to five upward rolls in each area.
-
Use the face roller to roll out, towards your hairline, under the cheekbones and then along with them.
-
Lastly, roll flat along the brows and then upwards on the forehead.
We recommend face rolling twice a day, once in the morning and once before bed, after washing your face. Nevertheless, you can use the roller as many times as your face needs a moment of soothing calmness.
BONUS:
How do you sanitize a jade roller?
Â
When cleaning the roller, use lukewarm soapy water and a piece of smooth fabric. You can also submerge the roller in a bowl of warm water and soap for a few moments to give it an extra deep clean and help wash away stubborn product accumulation or dirt. Just be sure the water is not boiling hot, just warm.
We at #HAULHQ love these magical tools and the best part is that it requires the slightest effort!
Something tells us you will enjoy the luxury of this new part of your routine! 😉
