Which Facial Roller Is Right For Me?

For someone like me, facial rollers are a non-negotiable in my skincare routine. Allowing you some extra time to really focus on relaxing and recouping at the end of a long day, using a face roller doesn’t only help you to chill out, but it has multiple skin benefits too.

If you’re not sure where to start and can’t figure out your ice rollers from your jade rollers, you’ve come to the right place. Keep reading to find out about the best face rollers we have to offer and which one is the perfect match for you.

Whether you’re a beauty newbie or a full-fledged aficionado, the world of facial rollers can still be a daunting place. With ice rollers, jade rollers, gua sha and everything in between, finding the right one for you is essential.

‘Why?’ we hear you ask. If you’re not already using a facial roller in your skincare routine, then you’re about to start. By massaging facial muscles, aiding lymphatic drainage, and increasing blood flow to the skin, facial rollers will lift, tone, sculpt, and boost your glow overnight.

Ready to kickstart your best at-home facial yet? Let’s find the best face roller for you.

Top of the list is one of our own and trust us when we say it’s a good one. The By BEAUTY BAY Facial Massage Roller is like a magic wand for your skin. 

The massaging dots help to release tension, lift, and tone, whilst the rolling motion aids lymphatic drainage, depuffing the skin in the process. It’s a firm favourite amongst the BEAUTY BAY team and we can see why.

Once you try the By BEAUTY BAY Ice Roller, you’ll never look back. Made from super cool stainless steel, the idea behind this roller is to store it in the fridge or freezer so it has an instant cooling and depuffing effect when rolled over your skin. 

It works by increasing blood flow to the surface of the skin (resulting in an enviable glow), helps to alleviate muscle tension, and calms the complexion. Find out more about the benefits of using an ice roller here.

Next, we have another By BEAUTY BAY fave. When it comes to rollers, if it isn’t broken, then why fix it? This classic Jade Roller is a must-have for your collection. Crafted from naturally sourced jade stone, which is traditionally known to represent harmony, balance, and peace, this roller will help to restore a sense of calm and tranquillity to your routine. 

Featuring two rollers, a larger one for the cheeks, jaw, and forehead, and a smaller version for around the eyes and nose, this roller will be one that you’ll turn to time after time. Read our step-by-step guide to jade rolling here.

Sometimes, it’s worth going high-tech when it comes to your skincare. The FOREO Bear Mini Targeted Microcurrent Facial Firming Device is like a professional-level treatment from the comfort of your own home. 

This device features two metal balls that massage the skin, whilst delivering microcurrent technology and T-SonicTM pulsations, helping to lift, tone, and re-contour. It might be an investment, but you’ll reap all the skincare rewards.

Another not-so-basic facial roller on the list is the Vanity Planet Forever Young Hot & Cold Rejuvenating Facial Wand. This high-tech option takes things one step further by incorporating hot and cold temperature levels with a sonic vibration mode, taking your roller routine to the next level.

Designed to use your skin’s natural reaction to temperature changes, the cool mode helps to reduce redness, depuff, and soothe, the hot mode opens pores to boost the absorption of products, and the sonic vibration mode rejuvenates and tones the skin. Simply glide your way to your best complexion yet!

Why have just one roller when you can have two? The Skin Gym Face Sculptor Beauty Roller is taking things to the next level. This dual-headed roller is the perfect match for massaging all the contours and angles of the face, fitting perfectly in the hollows of the cheek whilst targeting the jawline or upper cheekbone at the same time. 

The deep kneading action of this roller mimics the effects of a professional massage, leaving your skin feeling firmer, brighter, and more toned.

Your next skin workout has arrived. The Skin Gym Microfusion Roller takes the roller game up a gear. This non-invasive microneedling facial roller penetrates skincare ingredients below the surface of the skin.

Featuring over 3000 dissolving needle tips infused with hyaluronic acid and peptides, which melt into the skin when rolled. As the skincare ingredients get to work, your skin will be left looking and feeling smooth, supple, and glowing. What’s not to love?

If you ask us, Skin Gym can do no wrong, which is why they feature multiple times on our best face roller list. Next up is the Beauty Lifter Vibrating T-Bar. 

Using sonic vibrational technology, this vibrating facial roller mimics the effects of a facial massage, lifting and contouring facial muscles for a smoother, sculpted finish. If you’re looking for the perfect way to finish off your skincare routine, this is it.

If you’re on the hunt for a does-it-all option, then this is the best face roller for you. The Vanity Planet Kera Cryo Facial Globes & Gua Sha is a 3-in-1 beauty tool that uses stainless steel to cool, calm, and depuff the skin.

The larger ends glide over the skin working as cooling facial globes, while the thinner ends can be used as sculpting gua sha tools or eye cream applicators. Don’t forget to leave in the fridge for extra cooling, tightening, and toning effects.

This one might not look like your traditional face roller, but it’s about to become the secret sauce in your beauty routine. Quite possibly my favourite on the list, the Skin Gym Eye Flowies Treatment does a lot more than it says on the tin (or box in this case). 

This unusually shaped tool has been created from natural rose quartz and has a unique shape which lends itself to massaging and depuffing the under-eye area. But, don’t let the name limit you — this handy tool is just as good at massaging knots and tension from the neck, hollows of the cheeks, and jawline, making it a go-to for when you need some TLC.

Another ice roller-inspired go-to is the Brushworks Cooling Cryo Roller. Made from stainless steel, this dual-ended roller makes quick work of boosting the skin for a glowy result.

When stored in the fridge or freezer, the sub-zero temperature of the roller increases circulation and collagen production, and rids the skin of any toxins, reducing the appearance of fine lines and puffiness in the process. Featuring large and small versions for different areas of the face, this roller is a fuss-free option that delivers big results.

If Kendall Jenner loves it, then the Contour Cube is good enough for us. This TikTok trending number uses actual ice to lift, tone, and sculpt your skin.

Made from rubber, this reusable contour tool holds frozen water in a domed mould, creating a facial roller shape that glides across the face, providing an instant pick-me-up for your skin. Whether it’s a hot day, you need to depuff your skin, or you’re just looking for some extra TLC, this is the facial roller for you.

Looking for an ultra-defined jawline? The Kitsch Eco-Friendly Lifting Facial Roller is the answer. This dual-beaded roller massages either side of the jawline, aiding lymphatic drainage and reducing any puffiness whilst delivering an invigorating deep tissue jaw and neck massage.

You know we love a 2-in-1, which is why the mini ice roller on the handle made this an instant must-have for our hauls. It’s a go-to for depuffing and soothing tired eyes in the morning or at the end of a long day.

When it comes to facial massage, gua shas are the ones for me. These sculpty tools have the same benefits as a facial roller but can create more targeted pressure for a deeper massage. 

The Beauty Cooler Angel Wings Rose Quartz Gua Sha not only looks super cute, but it also gives you two gua shas in one product – double the relaxation. Check out our step-by-step guide on how to use a gua sha here.

Perhaps one of the less relaxing rollers on the list, the Kitsch Micro Derma Facial Roller will give you all the skincare results you want and need. This microneedle roller is studded with hundreds of tiny 0.25mm stainless steel needles that have numerous benefits for the surface of your skin. 

They create tiny (non-harmful) punctures in the skin which help to promote skin regeneration, encourage collagen production, fade hyperpigmentation, and allow maximum absorption of your favourite skincare serums. Being careful is key with this roller – make sure not to press too hard, always sterilise after use, and replace regularly.

Facial rollers that work and look cute? We’re sold. The Revolution Skincare Pink Glitter Ice Globes are the tools you need to take your at-home facials up a level.

Filled with an anti-freeze liquid, these facial globes can be stored in the freezer so they’re ready to give your skin a refresh whenever you need it. Simply glide over the skin to stimulate blood flow and absorb the absorption of your favourite products, making your skincare routine work even harder than usual.

Last but by no means least is the Brushworks Zinc T-Bar Facial Massager. For those times when your facial muscles need some extra TLC, this roller is the answer. 

Helping to massage the face, this T-Bar roller tones, sculpts, defines, and firms the skin, aiding lymphatic drainage and relieving facial tension at the same time. If you’re looking for your most defined facial structure yet, this is the answer.
