How to use facial/skin rollers:

Using a facial roller is as simple as gliding the thing over your skin while the rollers do the job. Get the most out of facial rollers by following these useful facial rolling wisdom:

• Begin from your neck and glide upwards towards your chin/jawline.
• Then, from your chin, continue the upwards stroke towards your lips. Cover the jawline with straight upwards movement while gliding out towards your ear.
• Then slowly work your way down from behind your ear towards your neck.
• Follow a similar baseline to upward movement gradually covering every inch of your face.
• You can also start from above your lips to the nose bridge following the next steps:
  1. The smaller roller is ideal for areas around the nose, under, and between the eyes.
  2. Roll straight up from the eyebrows to the hairline.
  3. Follow the outwards stroke from the centre towards your temple.
  4. It is best to repeat each stroke several times.
  5. Remember, the mantra of using a facial roller is upwards and outwards, and never the other way round. Do not roll up and glide it straight down. Roll it up on your skin, then lift the roller off the skin and place it at baseline. Now, glide up.
  6. Repeat the process if you want to see long-term results with rollers. Follow the ritual not less than 4 to 5 times a week for the best results.

It's best to do a facial roll on clean skin with no makeup on or after you have used a makeup remover to take off any trace of makeup from your skin. Facial roll over your favourite oil or serum-treated skin for a more nourished feel.
