On those days when you wake up feeling like your skin isn't that glowing, here's the traditional Chinese medicine tool that can save you: the jade facial roller.

Normally, all facial rollers (there are also amethyst and rose quartz rollers) help reduce facial swelling, but the jade roller is special because it presents a little more resistance to the skin.
