Facial Roller: Friend Or Foe?
ELLE Australia|April 2019

They look pretty, but do they really work? Experts weigh in on the pros and cons of using the popular device.

Facial Roller: Friend Or Foe?

Traditional Chinese derma rollers are said to have been used in beauty rituals as far back as the seventh century. Early iterations of the device were crafted from jade stone, also known as the detoxifying crystal of eternal youth, and rolled across complexions to increase blood flow and encourage glowing skin. Now, with the fast-paced, always-on lifestyles we live today, soothing New Age practices like crystal therapy have hit their peak, allowing the humble face roller to rebrand as a self-care essential. Its popularity can also be tied to its accessibility (you can buy one on Amazon for less than $20) and the fact that it looks uber-chic in a flat-lay (there are more than 30k Instagram posts with the #jaderoller tag alone). But is their use beneficial at best, harmless at worst? The answer is actually quite polarising.
