JADE ROLLERS BENEFITS FOR SKIN & WRINKLES? DR DRAY

[@Losshe]

I'm Chinese and I can confirm that yes jade rollers have been in China for many many centuries. It's funny tho because it's something that's so old that when I was growing up in the 90s, only old people like my grandparents have it(even then they didn't use it very often. It's more like just a thing hanging around the house). Young people never cared for it. I guess because it was such an old thing that's not considered trendy to use. I'm sure I could do more research on the jade roller in Chinese where I would find the earliest records of it, but I'm lazy. One thing for sure tho, I've seen it in the Gu Gong museum in Beijing. It was made out of tourmaline and was used by the famous empress Ci Xi Tai Hou from the Qing Dynasty. It's basically a fancy device that the rich and powerful used in the past as part of their skincare routine (Resume to watching the rest of the video now)

[@Losshe]

Just finished watching the video. A few more things I'd like to add. It doesn't have to be jade. Although people in the past and some people today believe that some stones have certain healing powers. The reason why these rollers are mainly made with jade is, well, because Chinese people love jade. That's it. Historically jade has been adored and praised because of its toughness and the softness of its lustre. Its quality resonates with the quality that the ancient Chinese people valued: calm, humble, gentle and tough. White jade has also been compared to women's skin and can be found in thousands of literature from the past and today. Just to give you a perspective on how much Chinese people love jade. That being said, those rollers are made with the stone that people loved, like the tourmaline one the empress used. A final thing I'd like to add to this super long comment for anyone who's patient and interested enough to read is that, like Dr Dray said, jade is a broad name for nephrite and jadeite. Nephrite is the actual stone that Chinese people called jade and is what most jade rollers are made out of. Whereas jadeite is a harder and more prescious stone discovered later in history; they're mainly from Burma and is an extremely expensive stone and is mainly used in high end jewelry today. Nephrite on the other hand, isn't very expensive (also that depends on the color, quality and where they're from). I get a bit angry at how much some people charge for a jade roller here in North America since its sudden rise of popularity but I guess it's normal that they'd do that. My best bet is to go to a Chinatown in your city and you might find one there that's cheaper and essentially the same thing as the one you pay $90 for

I have a fake jade roller as well as the real one. The jade seems to stay cooler longer. It's also smoother on skin and rolls smoother in the metal frame. I dont use it after using actives but I do use it after moisturizer because it glides better on skin. I find it relaxing and relaxed skin and muscles wouldnt make as many wrinkles, those deep expression lines. My fake jade is some kind of bead, it's not a real stone and it only cost $5. I do see results with decreased puffiness, as I am a side sleeper so one side would swell more. I find that this feels nice when my allergies are acting up.

I sleep on my stomach and also have a health issue that causes swelling and puffiness on my face and body. I decided to give the rose quartz roller try for that, to try to iron out my 11's and improve the slight jowels I've started to notice. I really enjoy the feeling of rolling, it really has helped with swelling and it's just relaxing. Jade and quartz isn't that expensive, and I got a beautiful kit for around $25.00. I roll after applying my all my skincare, but I wait for each layer to dry first, and roll after my last 2 steps (oil and cream). I've noticed it helps the oil to absorb, and there's very little product left on the roller. I do agree that things like stainless steel and glass would probably do the same thing.

[@kithale316]

Two types of jade: jadeite and nephrite. Nephrite has that name because it was believed to help with kidneys and in some cultures still is. Most cheaper jade rollers are made of green aventurine which is cheaper. Honestly, I agree with you that any cooling stone would work. So if you want one but don't have the £££, get the aventurine or rose quartz. At any rate it. Feels nice.

Dr Dray, what are your opinions on Gua Sha techniques?

[@lilies009]

Jade has six natural colors. The hierarchy of color value of jade would be green, lavender, red, yellow, white and black. The ideal is a strong, vibrant color while successively darker or lighter shades are considered less desirable. It’s mainly considered as a symbol of serenity, tranquility, and purity. It’s a stone that’s believed to bring in good luck, friendship, peace, and harmony. Even if it’s a very receptive stone, Green Jade is also known as a protective stone because of its abilities to ward off the negative energies that surround you. Jadeite is always going to be the chosen gemstone for Asians because of our heritage. Today, most jadeite comes from Myanmar. But “top-quality Burmese jadeite is becoming rare to find,” another factor driving up prices, that's why bad people makes fake jade :( .....Anyways, the dog in the beginning says Happy Friday everyone!

[@Patti-1962]

Dr. Dray, you must be a mind reader! I was just going through my Christmas gifts, and I was given two jade "stones" for the face. They are flat and the directions show how to move it over the skin. It suggests to apply a moisturizer and then use the product. I believe it was purchased from TJ Maxx. I am skeptical of these because it would be easy to press to hard. Also, I got so tired of trying to "layer" so many skin care products and after watching your routine, I have greatly simplified my skin care routines. To be honest, I don't think I will take the time to use these. They are beautiful, so I may leave them on my dresser for decor👍💕😊 P.S. I want to also thank you again for promoting the use of spf lip products. Listen to me everyone, my husband is very fair. He enjoys yard work and was always diligent to apply sunscreen... to his skin. He ended up with cancer of the lip. A plastic surgeon removed a portion of his lip. He did a beautiful job, miraculous really. This was 20 years ago (my husband was in his 30's). Since then we have completely stayed away from the sun, and if we go to the beach, we use an umbrella and sunscreen! (My husbands brother ended up with melanoma on his face. He actually lost his left eye. They grew up in Louisiana which has hot, hot summers with lots of sun.)

I never fully recovered, so my one side of my face is still paralyzed a little bit. They suspect I developed it because of the fluid that builds up during pregnancy. When I was pregnant with my second child I was terrified it would come back in force or even worse on the other side. I even debated about not getting pregnant again. After talking with specialists, I decided to go ahead. My doctor sent me to a facial paralysis clinic during my whole pregnancy. There they basically worked the lymphatic tissue trying to keep things moving. I guess I can see the logic behind a roller.

Loveeeee !!!! I literally just got my jade roller in the mail last week and have been using every AM after cleansing! I bought specially for puffiness and it definitely helps!!!! LOVE the coldness and facial message! So happy you approve 🥰🥰

[@DrDrayzday]

Happy Friday!

Could you review Amlactin products?

[@romiamukherjee8100]

Yes review amlactin products please

[@josie4peace]

Compared to U-Lactin, please (10% urea 2% lactic acid).

[@Tulku]

I bought one this week because I've got my first cold in 3 years and my sinuses hate me. I bought a cheap rose quartz one from Amazon just to use to roll over my sinus and forehead where it hurts. I'm not trying to push anything anywhere or reduce puffiness, I just want to feel better and it makes me feel a little better.

[@Artemisia.Hedgerow]

I have a jade roller and I like using it on my face and neck in the morning for puffiness. I'm not sure it's real jade, as I bought it on wish for a couple bucks, but I guess that doesn't exactly matter. Other than providing some physical comfort in the morning, I don't see any other benefits after a year of use. It does feel nice and look pretty on my vanity though.

[@JeniferJenkinsBeauty]

I think that dog is my next door neighbor's long lost cousin! 😫😄 When I had under eye puffiness I tried EVERYTHING to remedy it, with very little success. I slept on my back in an elevated position, learned all the pressure points to address under eye swelling, laid off the salt, purchased every de-puffing eye cream out there, and nothing worked! Restylane in my tear troughs was the answer! Lol! Still, one of the best decisions I've ever made! Great video as usual! 💖😘

[@DrDrayzday]

Thanks for watching!

[@melissaperez8595]

I bought my "jade" roller from the Dollar Tree 😂 Cost me a dollar but you're right, the gentle coolness of it feels nice sometimes. That's about it.

[@lygophilia4127]

So did I!

[@hgreene72]

What are your thoughts on facial exercises?

[@darlenebarnett8417]

I think they make wrinkles more apparent!

[@hollystiener16]

They great, but you have to do them consistently and for me that is tough!

[@brunettezprettyr4296]

The strengthen muscles, however moving your face a lot has been proven to increase wrinkles. So no sagging, but more wrinkles.

[@hayleypflug7384]

My significant other just had knee surgery. He bought a smooth piece of Jade with a few grooves in it, because his physical therapist recommended it for massaging his leg to bring down some swelling. I wonder if a Jade roller might help me when I have TMJ pain.

[@hardcoremagicalgirl]

I'm a LMT and have a rose quartz rod/wand for personal use for massage. It really helps, especially after intense leg workouts.

[@alicelopez130]

I got a jade roller for my TMJ, it feels nice and it’s relaxing but other than that I don’t believe in any of the anti wrinkle crap. I can see it helping in face swelling or under eyes though...btw don’t spend a lot of money on them, go to tj maxx and get one for 10 bucks xoxo

[@maritzarodriguez6256]

I have both a Jade and rose quartz. I love the cool feeling on my face. It helps with puffiness around the eyes. I wish I could sleep on my back😞 Yes, buyer beware. Great Video Andrea!

[@user-ed8me9fi2l]

Is there any self-tanners you'd recommend to put on the face? I wanna tan my face but I have acne-prone skin and they all just clog my pores :/

[@nam8911]

I am so beyond thankful for your channel!! I binged all of your videos recently and it really makes me realize the importance of taking care of our bodies which I never made a priority before but now it’s benefited me inside and out. Thank you for all your hard work on posting so often!!

[@DrDrayzday]

Thanks for watching!

[@littlemisschatterbox4595]

I use one after a basic HA serum just so it doesn’t drag on my skin at all, then apply my actives after.

[@jackiemarsh2470]

Your face at the start of the video was completely adorable!!

[@maycoleman7348]

I feel so impowered watching your oily skin videos! I’m really excited to simplyfy my regimen use better products for my oily skin

[@tjolley7423]

Thanks for the info! Always love your perspective and no BS honesty on skincare. A comment, I feel like this video in particular was very long and repetitive, I actually looked at the time a couple times wondering if it had skipped back because you were repeating yourself almost verbatim. I think a little scripting or editing would be appreciated and helpful in the future to make your content more digestible. Just a thought 💕 looking forward to more content

[@moritlh]

I bought from AliExpress for 2dollors It's a good quality one I like it just got the cooking effect and because it makes me relax (like a massage therapy) But I never believed in any other benefits

[@jodiesargent2468]

Okay - I thought you were going to say it was total bunk. I got one in a subscription box, rolled my eyes, and set it aside. I just picked it up this week on a lark and, honestly, whether or not it does any of the things agers claim it does, it FEELS nice to have the cool stone on my face and using it forces me to sit still for 5 minutes. So, win?

[@DrDrayzday]

yeah, no doubt they feel nice, i agree

[@stonecake313]

Could you do a video on consuming collagen drinks or pills? I've seen a doctor on youtube say it's good for the skin, which I was surprised to hear. Love you Dr. Dray

[@sabbycat3848]

She actually has a video on supplements and talks about collagen supplements. 🙂

[@raraavis7782]

Well, that was more approving, than I thought it would be 😉 Appreciate that you carefully differentiate between realistic potential benefits and what‘s (very likely) just superstition/wishful thinking. My go to for swollen eyes/puffy face are green tea bags. I keep a couple in the freezer and (of course) wrap them in wet cloth before I massage my face with it. I could swear, that it’s much more effective than just a regular icecubes. I mostly only use this when I have a cold though...I seem to be lucky in that regard.

[@LedaSBotelho]

I've definitely heard about this technique and how it even helps sculpt your face. Or at least I read that it could and could even opt the roller for a Chinese soup spoon. Don't ask me. I've tried the whole thing and I didn't really see much of a difference. Now I have facial sensitivity neurological problems. Doctors said it's A-Typical face pain. I can't say it's linked but just a theory. I would tell people to be weary doing this, ensure you are doing this properly, and to proceed with caution.

[@AngelM-LoveU]

You are so funny. This one is an oldie but still relevant. I've been subscribed and watching you for years. 😊

[@kalpanas1011]

using dermaroller after cleansing without moisturiser will make ur skin too dry and sometimes it causes itchiness so its better to jade roll after applying moisturiser or oil...

[@panagiotapatty4730]

Dr Dray this was such a great video. I recently started to use a jade roller and wondered if it was affecting my skin care products properly penetrating so I'm really happy you discussed this! Thank you!

[@DrDrayzday]

Thanks!

[@kellyalves756]

I always thought it was no better or worse than any facial massage gizmo. And facial massage is great, as far as it goes.

[@greenlean8890]

Dr Dray I have a question. I didn't realize that puffiness on the face impedes penetration of active skincare. So when you wake up with your face puffy and swollen how should this first be addressed? Is washing your face with cool water, light face massage using your fingers to drain the lymphatic fluid, or putting a cold wet washcloth over your face a good solution to bring down the puffiness before putting on skincare?

[@shelbyschroder4140]

I am an Esto and when I get asked about jade rollers I cringe a tiny bit. Yes the lymphatic drainage is useful. However, Jade is a porus stone. I always made it a point to warn about bacteria breeding in the stone and to cleanse cleanse the device as often as possible. I saw a reduction in acne after that.

[@21972012145525]

Dr. Dray what’s the best way for removing facial hair. I have dry, discolored upper lip with eczema. Is threading or waxing better? What about eyebrows, where my skin is considerably more healthy (no discoloration, far less eczema)? Right now I mostly thread but not sure if that’s the best route...

[@helfini1]

I would strongly suggest using a candela laser, I’ve had great results

[@CSWRB]

Dr. Dray, haven't watched you in a while, but first thing I noticed when watching this video is that you've gotten even prettier. Not sure what is different, but whatever you are doing, keep doing it. (What's your secret?!!!)

[@BeautyOnTheGlow]

Can you please please please make an in-depth review on Clarisonic . I’m hearing mixed reviews from dermatologists, estheticians and users of the brush and I would love to be able to understand what I’m signing up for if I decide to buy it. Than you 🙂🙂🙂

[@amandaf5664]

From watching many of her videos she has mentioned it is very problematic and not worth the money you spend on them. They are highly irritating to the skin and your fingers do a wonderful job without the price tag. A sonic brush does not get a Dr Dray approval rating. Hope this helps!

[@littlemisschatterbox4595]

My Clarisonic ruined my skin! It took the best part of a year for the redness to go away and I was extremely careful. It’s VERY easy to overdo it. I’d save your money.

[@nicolehutchinson4242]

I watch her and another dermatologist on KZbin. They both provide conflicting information. I guess that’s why it’s called “practicing” medicine. Lol I would go with what feels right to you.

[@BeautyOnTheGlow]

Thank you. Was just hoping to get all the pros and cons so I can make a decision (just because of all the mixed reviews ) but these answers are really helpful.

[@emmalouise55555]

How about the foreo Luna devises? I have one and not sure if it’s doing good for my skin!!!

[@forgive70x70]

Thank you for your honesty and science based information. I personally feel that products like the Jade Roller is just another marketing scam. Unless there is actual proof of results forget it, spend your hard earned money on proven products.

[@lucyloo6078]

i haven’t been on the channel in a minute! the camera quality looks different- clearer :)) ur hair is down! and long! love it😊! my skins been looking great thanks to you! ty dr dray

[@nmernst]

Definitely can be helpful to those with chronic conditions making them prone to edema. Even under treatment it can be a constant battle. The rollers though can be so expensive. I'm looking for a good under knee pillow :) The night guard works quite well and like it. Have a good weekend.

[@stevenborn1802]

Another way also to train yourself to not sleep on your stomach or side is to get a pillow designed for your legs a cushion between the knees A wedge pillow for the legs and 2 pillows on both sides of your bed

[@karenstone3625]

Loved your intro Dr Dray woof ..woof 🐾🐶🐾🐶 Happy Friday to the neighborhood 😁

[@zlifehomestead9772]

I just recently got a the jade roller in my Fab-Fit-Fun box. Haven't used it yet, so this was very timely. Thanks! It's so hard to train yourself to sleep in a different position, I've been struggling a bit lately after my surgery, but more and more becoming a back sleeper which is the goal (for me).

[@hummingbirdlvr5189]

I just purchased a rose quartz roller and find it soothing. Since I do facial massage for lymphatic drainage, I thought that by using both methods, it would be even more beneficial. I have not noticed that the roller does anything but offers a cooling sensation (but it is nice). Thank you, Dr. Dray, for your videos! They are always helpful. ♥

[@tristafischer2358]

Can I just say... you look hella pretty in the intro, Dr. Dray! Right on!! Happy New Year!! 🤓👍🍾🎉🎶❤

[@just.jaimie.]

I have 3 kids and as soon as I had them all I was SO happy to be able to sleep on my stomach again 😂
