Q1: What is jade?
A: The jade stone is believed to carry nourishing and gentle energy and considered a symbol of beauty, grace, and longevity.

Q4: How do you use a stone roller?
A: Jade rollers can be used as a deep, relaxing treatment on their own, or as the last step in your skincare routine to boost the absorption of your products.Start with your neck first to clear the lymph passageways before moving on to your face. The jade roller itself is heavy enough to not need additional pressure; too much pressure can irritate skin and break capillaries in sensitive areas. So go slow, directionally with purpose, and avoid pressing too hard.
