Tried and tested: I used a rose quartz roller for a week, and the results were interesting

Would recommend.

You have probably seen them on social media, and you have probably wondered what the hell they are.

Well, I decided to road test facial rollers, to see what all the fuss is about.

I went with the Image Skincare Rose Quartz Facial Roller, purely because I’m such a fan of the brand.

It seemed like a no brainer.

Facial rolling is actually goes back to ancient times, and it’s rumoured to have a tonne of benefits.

So what goes on?

Basically, I lashed on my serum of the moment (which is CAUDALIE Vinoperfect Radiance Serum btw), and then came the roller.

The first thing I noticed when I took it out of the box was just how cute it looks.

Honestly, even if you never used it, it would just look bloody great on your shelf.

However, when I did use it, I was pleasantly surprised.

If I’m totally honest, I wasn’t totally convinced by the whole roller concept before, but I sure am now.

And wonderfully, it comes with instructions, so you know the craic.

Basically, when massaging my face with the roller, I started at the centre of my face, under my eyes and cheekbones.

Then I moved out towards my hairline using the smaller of the two pink stones.

Then, using the larger stone, I moved down towards my jawbone, starting at the centre of the chin and moving out towards the bottom of my ear for a lifting effect.

The benefits were subtle, but they were there nonetheless.

The main one was actually related to my stress levels. The ritual of the roller was really calming, which I loved.

I also noticed my skin was less puffy, and my pores seems tighter.

It’s a handy way to ensure all of your product gets absorbed too, if you choose to roll with a product.

All in all, I loved it.

The Image Skincare Rose Quartz Facial Roller is currently available online for a reasonable €29.99.
