Gently press and roll the tool in upward from, moving from the middle of your face to the outside of your face. I developed [the device] with the intention of mirroring the massage techniques used in my signature facials,” say Nurse Jamie, whose client roster includes A-listers like the Kardashians and January Jones. “It’s been over 20 years of taking care of the most famous faces in Hollywood that led me to developing this beauty tool.” This handheld tool is a safe and simple way to enjoy the many healing benefits of infrared heat at home," says Chiu. "Infrared heat is a more penetrating, deeper reaching kind of heat that is considered more therapeutic. In TCM practice, we highly value the healing properties of infrared heat." As for the negatives? I wish the roller was quieter. The noise that it makes is faint, but I wouldn't recommend using it in bed next to someone who's a light sleeper (I learned that the hard way.) I also wish the roller was dual-sided, with a smaller tip designed specifically for the under eyes.

One great thing about it: even though there’s a diagram included in the box, Nurse Jamie says there’s no need to follow a specific map. Essentially, you just press and roll. The massaging stones are another nice differentiator from other rollers—when you sweep the wand across your face, the stones create a gentle kneading sensation. The UpLift Massaging Beauty Roller is a hexagon-shaped wand that’s covered in 24 “massaging” stones meant to “temporarily energize, enhance, and uplift your skin.” Since it doesn’t require batteries and doesn’t need to be charged, the wand (which weighs 4 oz.) is also portable. Celebrities like Jessica Alba swear that Nurse Jamie’s Uplift tool instantly lifts the face. But does it actually work? I put the device to the test.Gently press and glide the tool upward, moving from the middle of your face to the outside of your face. Having only used it for two days so far, I can’t yet say if the effects improve with continuous use – but it did feel like it was helping to push my hydrating serum into my skin (what Hilary Duff has previously rated the tool for), and my skin looked super glowy and healthy after the rolling sesh. The biggest difference I noticed was in my forehead which, while not particularly noticeably puffy, felt much smoother and firmer for the rest of the day. Despite following these dentist-recommended treatments to T, I have found that nothing relieves my jaw pain like an old-fashioned massage. And according to Dr. Gelb, one of the best ways to do so is with a "low-impact facial massager since it can help relieve muscle pain." Fortunately, there are tons of beauty devices you can use to alleviate discomfort, including face rollers, gua sha tools, and percussive therapy. Lanshin describes its adorable silicone-covered porcelain tool as "a hot stone massage in the palm of your hand"—and they're not wrong. When filled with warm water and used in conjunction with body oil, the heated octopus-like vessel feels incredibly relaxing against tense areas across your body.

Unscrew the battery cover and insert the AA battery. Screw the battery cover on tightly. Press the button on the bottom of the battery cover. Press the button again to turn the tool OFF. On clean dry skin apply a small amount of Nurse Jamie body cream, face cream, oil or your favorite moisturizer. Hold the tool in a way that is comfortable in your hand. Suitable for most skin types. I followed Nurse Jamie’s instructions and rolled for about six minutes, concentrating on areas that, as she says, “need more love.” (For me, those would be cheekbones, jawline, under eyes.) After I was done, I looked in the mirror—my face was a little red from the rolling, which is apparently normal. I didn’t see a dramatic difference off the bat, but after using it for the next few weeks at night (mornings aren’t my thing) I’ve noticed less puffiness, particularly after a long flight or a weekend of overindulging.As for the negatives?
