Beauty devices such as facial massage rollers have become as necessary a part as smartphones. The roller, regardless of what material it is made of, will improve the oval of the face and skin regeneration.
Roller massagers for the face and body have recently experienced a real renaissance. Just a few years ago, forgotten ones lay in mother’s closets or on bathroom shelves. Now they are back and have become a hit in skin care.
Some of them will help in the fight against imperfections, others will reduce wrinkles or bags under the eyes. Of course, rollers will not replace traditional skin care methods and will not eliminate all existing skin problems. But experts agree that when used correctly, they stimulate lymph circulation, enhance tissue metabolism, and relax.
What is rollerball and gouache?
The mesoscooter is one of the oldest devices for massage at home. The principle of its operation is no different from a conventional massager: it stimulates blood supply to the tissues. The roller is compact and easy to use. Massage can be done whenever and wherever it is convenient: at home, in a taxi or in the office during your lunch break.

Guasha is also a massage tool. It got its name from the technique of the same name, which was first mentioned in Ancient China in the 1st century BC. Guasha is a special scraper made of natural material, with teeth of different shapes and sizes. A gouache scraper is more difficult to use than a roller, but the effect will not take long to appear.

It is impossible to say which is better, this is not required - the tools complement each other. The roller in this complex is responsible for accelerating muscles, warming up, and gua sha is responsible for sculpting.
As a result of regular care with a roller and gua sha stones, the oval of the face is tightened, wrinkles are smoothed out, the facial contour is sculpted, and the skin color acquires a beautiful and healthy shade, the tone is evened out.
Why does our skin need collagen and where is it found?
If you want to stay youthful and fit, you can’t do without it.
My collection of massagers: successful and not so successful
Greetings!
Today I want to talk about my collection of facial massagers. Honestly, I didn't think I had so many of them!
Well, I thought, here’s one for the area around the eyes, the second for the face, and this one for the contour... But when I started collecting them in one pile, I myself was somewhat surprised at what kind of Plyushkin I am!
Also, I didn’t even realize that all my massagers are of only 3 brands.
So, now I have 7 massagers, and I’m seriously thinking about buying a jade roller from a gua sha massager.
But let me start talking about what I have.
Massagers for the area around the eyes.
This is probably my most popular type of massager. I love rollers for the skin around the eyes and very often I buy a care product already in this packaging. Now, by the way, I also use a roll-on product for the skin around my eyes.
They all have the same operating principle: apply the cream to the area around the eyes, distribute with a roller. The roller should cool the skin a little, straighten it and help with swelling.
I'll start with the stupidest video.
Eye massager De.Co. roller
Design
: handle and head with rotating ball.
I bought it a few years ago and used it very actively at first. But several things constantly irritated me about it: creaking, not the best result, small size and the fear that I would touch my eyelid with the plastic petals that hold the roller. Her constant need to wash it and check if it is dry. This annoyed me all the time! After all, if I apply the cream before bed and wash the roller only in the morning, then the cream constantly sticks to it. And if I washed it and didn’t dry it very well, it always seemed to me that rust was appearing on it. By the way, that’s what happened in the end.
By the way, the rust is clearly visible here.
And I didn't get any pleasure from using the video.
I saw that this video has good reviews. But it just didn't suit me.
Second video
and today this is my favorite video.
Design
: straight handle, at the base there is a large metal ball.
It was part of a set from Real Techniques Prep and Prime Se
t
The set is very unique and I don’t use brushes for lips or for exfoliating the face at all, but the video was worth it) I had the set in the old design. All items there are silver in color.
The video is absolutely beautiful from every angle! It is quite large and distributes the cream perfectly. You don't need to wash it right away to prevent it from drying out. I often just wipe it with tonic and wash it the next morning. Well, it doesn’t spin or squeak. And it has a comfortable rubberized handle. Overall, I love this video!
Third video
I also got it in the set. The set was also very unique, but I liked the video. This set was simply given to me by a friend as if it were a noble Plyushkin.
EcoTools Wake Up + Glow Makeup Brush Set
Design:
plastic handle. At the base there is a roller made of stone.
The roller seems to be made of jade, but I highly doubt it. The stone here is milky in color. But the name of the stone is not in the description.
This roller also glides perfectly over the skin and cools it well. But it seems to me that it is not as cold as a metal roller. Perhaps these are just my subjective feelings. The roller is also easy to clean and when using it I always warm up to the thought that it is a stone)
But the quality of stone processing disappointed me a little. The stone is not processed very well. It is of course smooth and does not cause any discomfort, but it does have potholes. And the video itself is crooked and you can feel the ribs on it.
Let's move on to the second category: massagers and facial rollers
First video
from De.Co.
Design
: handle, 2 silicone rollers with ribs
Facial massager De.Co Face massager
Overall, it's not bad, but it also creaks. Even when massaging your face, you need to constantly control yourself. Otherwise, if I get carried away and the roller goes in the wrong direction, it starts to pinch the skin. And this is not so pleasant.
But it has fairly soft silicone ribs and in general I like to massage them while applying a cream or serum.
Amethyst roller
EcoTools Amethyst Facial Roller
I have wanted it for a long time and now I use it with great pleasure. I can't explain why I needed amethyst. I just needed it and that’s all)))
Design
: plastic handle, 2 stone rollers
So, this product has two rollers - a large one and a small one. The large one is ideal for facial massage, and the small one is for the nasolabial area and the area above the eyes (eyebrows, above and below the eyebrows) and temples.
I love stroking my face with this roller. It's an incredibly pleasant feeling when a cold roller glides over your skin. And if you don’t just stroke your face, but also put a little pressure on it, then I can directly feel the muscles relaxing. I also really want to buy a jade roller. But for now I convince myself that I don’t need it)
Another facial roller is EcoTools Wand Roller
Design
: metal rod with a rotating massage head and a rotating handle.
This is an analogue of the Nurse Jamie UpLift Facial Massaging Beauty Roller, but the analogue is not complete.
I’ve been wanting to buy it for a long time after looking at different bloggers. And I don’t regret it a bit! This is a wonderful product and probably even my favorite of my entire collection!
It massages perfectly and disperses fluid perfectly. After using the roller, I can immediately feel the swelling begin to subside. In my opinion, the roller still perfectly gives tone to the skin. It seems to me that after regular use my skin elasticity even increases. Perhaps these are just my feelings, but it seems to me that I really see the result. And I feel how my face relaxes and tension subsides from my muscles after a long day of work.
This product is suitable not only for working on the face, but it can also be used on the body. But, unfortunately, the brand did not provide any instructions for use. I had to google and see what the original offers)
The roller is easy to clean and does not stick from cream residue. But I regularly wipe it with tonic after use, and then wash it with water and soap.
And the last massager from my collection is a facial contour massager.
EcoTools Contour Facial Roller
Design:
massive metal handle, 2 plastic faceted balls with a metal coating (or metal-look. I couldn’t figure out what kind of material it was)
I also got the idea to buy such a massager after I saw it from one of the bloggers.
I like the massager and it does a great job of getting rid of swelling.
It has a rather massive metal handle and large balls, which are just at the right distance to massage exactly the contour of the face. But with this massager I massage my entire face!
I feel like it relaxes the facial muscles quite well. After a massage with this massager, I feel like my face is completely relaxed.
I also pass these balls over my nasolabial area. I like to think that it somehow improves their condition.
By the way, the same brand De.Co. has almost the same massager, but I haven’t tested it myself and I can’t say how well it works.
This post was not very voluminous and detailed. But as for massagers, everything here is clear: what they are for and what they do.
