A multi functional tool to ease tension in the face & body. Studies have shown for years that the application of pressure to the skin stimulates the release of stem cells from around the base of the sebaceous gland into the dermis where they can be used by fibroblasts to create new collagen.
Facial rollers are also an excellent way to create space and rehydrate the fascia, help drain extracellular waste and lymph. They also help to keep connective tissue from becoming dense which causes even further restrictions to the fluid in the tissues that results in dull, dry skin.
These rollers also make is easier to reduce tension in the back of the neck and shoulder area, especially in the SCM area. (Flip it around and roll up your shoulders and neck!) Take your time.
SMWYL Facial Massage Roller
I’ve been using these rollers in facial treatments for months now and they are so good at helping to create space in the tissues in a way that other tools can’t. They grip the tissue in a way that mimics a modality that I was trained in and help to smooth dense fascia.
It’s hard to put a description in on how exactly to use these. The best explanation that I can provide is to use your intuition, roll it in different ways around your neck, shoulder and face and seek out where the tension is. Use the roller both forwards and “backwards” as it provides a different grip. Be careful to not try to take up too much tissue in between the rollers as the can pinch!
And don’t forget to use it on your chest and décolleté !
