The benefits of a good face massage are plenty, and many cultures have been practicing skin and face rolling for many generations.

Among the plus points of rolling your skin, according to healthline.com, are the following: improved blood circulation as using a face roller can stimulate blood flow; decreasing puffiness by stimulating lymphatic drainage; and enhancing the skin’s appearance if the act of rolling is combined with an anti-ageing cream.

Whatever your reason, there’s no denying that the stimulation of blood flow does help make your skin feel refreshed, and there are plenty of products out there in the market to help get you started.

Mount Lai’s Gua Sha tools and facial rollers are deeply rooted in Chinese culture and tradition.

They have been used in Traditional Chinese Medicine for centuries as a method of promoting the flow of qi within the body, and for pain relief.

With jade rollers, start in the middle of the face and roll outwards across the cheeks, before moving to the eyebrows and rolling upwards across the forehead.

Then, move below the lower lip and roll downwards across the chin. It’s recommended that you use the smaller end for more delicate areas and harder-to-reach places, and the larger end for broad surfaces.
