Everyone needs a little self-care, even A-list celebs. They're the ones we turn to for the inside scoop on how to look like a million bucks. Courteney Cox, 60, practices face rolling — aka jade rolling — a facial massage technique that's been used for centuries to reduce inflammation and improve blood circulation, giving skin a plumper, more radiant, younger-looking appearance. She's so thrilled with her roller that she was seen using it at Cipriani, a New York City hotspot. As luck would have it, a similar jade roller from Baimei costs less than a Cipriani cocktail — it's just $9 when you use the on-page discount code.

Jade rolling is a safe, affordable way to care for your skin that seamlessly blends into any routine. The practice originated in seventh-century China; today, many skin-care experts consider it an essential technique for maintaining a firm, healthy face. Though there are few formal studies to back their claims, jade roller enthusiasts say the tools tone face muscles, stimulate collagen production and help serums and creams better absorb into the skin. All of this leads to fewer wrinkles, tighter skin and a reduction in the appearance of dark, puffy under-eye circles, fans say.
For the best results, roll the tool gently upward over your face for a few minutes each night, and make sure to wash your roller with soap and water after every use to avoid clogging pores. Pro tip: Place it in the refrigerator before each use for an extra cooling and de-puffing effect. Or you can just drop it in your purse and roll wherever you go, Courteney Cox-style.
More than 40,000 reviewers agree with Courteney: A jade roller is a soothing, easy-to-use add-on for their wellness arsenal.
"Excellent addition to my self-care routine," reported one happy customer. "It is a very relaxing process and does wonders for de-puffing my face. When consistently used, the results speak for themselves."
"I wasn't sure how effective this thing would be or if it was a gimmick, but I have recently had a large wound to my head that caused a lot of swelling to my face. I researched and learned about lymphatic drainage, and techniques that are used (often for cancer patients) to help drain swelling from the face," said another buyer. "Turns out it is a thing. This tool was very helpful in working with my swelling. I know it is a beauty tool, and I plan to continue using it as such from here on out, but I just wanted to mention that there actually is a base for the pattern of rolling and such."
This enthusiastic reviewer marveled at the jade roller's value: "I can certainly see that it improves circulation, by noticing that one half of my face is more colorful than the side I haven't done yet. Very happy with my purchase, and it was very inexpensive! A lot cheaper than having plastic surgery."
"Quality is exceptional for the price point," agreed another. "Been using it morning and evening for less than a week and can already tell a difference. Please try this first BEFORE you decide on going the laser or filler route!"
Some shoppers felt the roller could be sturdier. "The roller broke after using it for about a year," explained this reviewer. "It worked very well for that one year, but then it broke and was unfixable."
Another agreed: "On Day 3 of having this, it fell out of my medicine cabinet into my sink and broke. The plastic pieces holding the bar into the holes were not glued in very well on one side and went down my sink."
