Jade rolling has been HUGE in 2017, with just about every celebrity and beauty blogger talking about it!

Jade rollers are dual sided with different sized jade stones that are perfectly smooth for rolling over the face.

Use the larger stone for areas like the forehead, cheeks, and neck, and the small stone for the delicate areas around the eyes.

In the world of Chinese medicine, jade has a long history of being associated with balancing one’s chi and warding off negative energy.

From a more modern perspective, jade rolling is associated with helping aid circulation in the face which ultimately leads to less fine lines and wrinkles as well as an instant boost in radiance!
