Facial Massager

So ok, a few weeks ago one of my gf's Casey, asked me to buy a jade roller and test it out.

And I'd heard about jade rolling from basically all of the asian beauty bloggers that I follow, but always kinda thought it was a load of BS or that I just didn't really need it.

So if you don't know what jade rolling is, well lemme tell you. First, this is what a jade roller looks like:

It's a chic little beauty tool made of actual jade that you roll on your face to depuff, detoxify your skin, and improve skin elasticity. Because it promotes lymph node draining with the rolling motion, you're both depuffing and detoxing at the same time.

But, because I'm extra, I wanted to take it a step further so I purchased the Nurse Jamie Uplift:

The Nurse Jamie one is marketed to help lift sagging skin, in conjunction with all the other benefits of the jade roller above. In addition, it's supposed to "replicate the technique in her signature facials" (🙄 ). But it's 70 bucks, which is way more expensive than the jade rollers you'll find on amazon, which will run you like 15-20 bucks. HOWEVER ☝🏼 I am justifying the expense because I heard those jade rollers break often and aren't the sturdiest. So instead of buying multiple jade rollers that will probably continue breaking, I figured I'd buy a sturdier facial massager.

So every night for about 10 minutes, I use the Nurse Jamie tool while watching my shows.

Is the effect super dramatic? No, not really but I do feel like using a facial massager is better than NOT using one, so I'm gonna continue doing so.

I took before and after pics the other night, which I've included below (before is left, after is right).

You'll see that fold (ugh I have a fold) on the right side of my nose appears less obvious on the right pic than the left.

And you'll see there's more of a shadow underneath my eyes, towards my cheekbone in the left pic than the right. (I mean it could be that the angle isn't exactly the same in the left pic and the light from above is skewing my results but whatever, I see a difference every night.)

So again, because I have to point out the differences, this tool isn't like getting fillers or botox but it's good for your face and skin and I'm just gonna keep being extra and using it, mmk?

Have you guys heard of facial massaging? Are you guys gonna get into it?
