The countdown to 40 begins! In six months, I’ll be entering a whole new decade, having spent these six months doing any & everything I can (with doing anything drastic) to improve my health & wellness. This includes stress relief & skincare, which is why my recent purchases of a jade roller & some rose quartz is the focus of this post!

SHOP: Mei Apothecary mini Jade facial roller beauty tool @Target ($9.99).

SHOP: Mei Apothecary mini rose quartz gua sha facial massage beauty tool @Target ($7.99).

I’ve only been using both for a few days & I haven’t seen any results; however, I feel calmer & my face feels less tense. I have a lot of sinus issues & this massage definitely technique, as directed on the packaging, at least 1-2 times a day, results in a relaxed feeling across the face & neck.

Also, I’ve invested in various body massages for shoulder & back pain & they’ve always been too intense or uncomfortable to operate, but the roller & stone allows me a few minutes to feel centered internally & tactilely relieved.

Are stones or rollers a regular part of your skincare routine? What alternative methods do you use to relieve stress on your face? How often do you seek out methods to reduce puffiness?
