Facial roller to drain and give glow - here's how to do it
The facial roller is not only beautiful to look at. – Used correctly, a facial roller can support lymphatic drainage and drain fluid from the face.
3 benefits of using a facial roller
- Better lymphatic drainage and less fluid retention. Reduced swelling, especially around the eyes and jaw

- A calming effect on tense facial muscles. May contribute to wrinkles from muscle tension between the eyebrows, etc.
How to use the facial roller – step by step
Use light movements with the facial roller for lymphatic drainage. The lighter the pressure, the better the lymphatic drainage. Use the facial roller cold or hot as needed and desired. If you want to work more muscularly, you can use gua-sha, which can withstand a little more pressure. But be careful.
