How to use your Rose Quartz Roller

When you use your Image Skincare Rose Quartz Facial Roller, you want to use it on one side of your face and then the other side.Start in the middle of your forehead, gently glide the roller from your forehead, out and down towards your ear. Repeat this motion 2-3 times.Continue to work your way down your face, starting in the middle and pushing your roller outwards all the way to the ear.When you reach your jawline, push the roller along the jaw, towards the ear and then down towards your collarbone.You should then repeat this process on the other side of your face.This action is going to increase microcirculation bringing more oxygen to your skin helping to support the healing process and simulating lymphatic drainage.
