I'm Chinese and I can confirm that yes jade rollers have been in China for many many centuries. It's funny tho because it's something that's so old that when I was growing up in the 90s, only old people like my grandparents have it(even then they didn't use it very often. It's more like just a thing hanging around the house). Young people never cared for it. I guess because it was such an old thing that's not considered trendy to use. I'm sure I could do more research on the jade roller in Chinese where I would find the earliest records of it, but I'm lazy. One thing for sure tho, I've seen it in the Gu Gong museum in Beijing. It was made out of tourmaline and was used by the famous empress Ci Xi Tai Hou from the Qing Dynasty. It's basically a fancy device that the rich and powerful used in the past as part of their skincare routine (Resume to watching the rest of the video now)
Just finished watching the video. A few more things I'd like to add. It doesn't have to be jade. Although people in the past and some people today believe that some stones have certain healing powers. The reason why these rollers are mainly made with jade is, well, because Chinese people love jade. That's it. Historically jade has been adored and praised because of its toughness and the softness of its lustre. Its quality resonates with the quality that the ancient Chinese people valued: calm, humble, gentle and tough. White jade has also been compared to women's skin and can be found in thousands of literature from the past and today. Just to give you a perspective on how much Chinese people love jade. That being said, those rollers are made with the stone that people loved, like the tourmaline one the empress used. A final thing I'd like to add to this super long comment for anyone who's patient and interested enough to read is that, like Dr Dray said, jade is a broad name for nephrite and jadeite. Nephrite is the actual stone that Chinese people called jade and is what most jade rollers are made out of. Whereas jadeite is a harder and more prescious stone discovered later in history; they're mainly from Burma and is an extremely expensive stone and is mainly used in high end jewelry today. Nephrite on the other hand, isn't very expensive (also that depends on the color, quality and where they're from). I get a bit angry at how much some people charge for a jade roller here in North America since its sudden rise of popularity but I guess it's normal that they'd do that. My best bet is to go to a Chinatown in your city and you might find one there that's cheaper and essentially the same thing as the one you pay $90 for
I’m a nurse in a wound healing center and every time you bring up wound care I get a little excited. You are always totally spot on and it helps me just to trust your dermatological advice even more!
Dr Dray, I am continually impressed by how respectful you are with products, methods or beliefs that could be considered gimmicky, popular, or offer false promises and information. I have noticed how you communicate on these delicate subjects by clearly stating no medical evidence has proven its efficacy, but also do not discredit any potential benefits or those who follow these practices 🙌🏼
I purchased a jade roller to help relieve my TMJ. Although I wear a night guard for grinding my teeth, my jaw muscles can still get sore and tight. A jade roller helps to gently massage those muscles for some coolness and relief from the tension. 👍
AbsolutAlicia wtf? Bought one for two euro at AliExpress! They don’t there to sell that in my country that’s a device made of semi precious stone lol it’s an inexpensive thing to make.

I LOVE YOU DR DRAY!!!! All of my skin questions... you got us covered! Acne, what can we use in pregnancy, how to apply sunscreen, gua sha.... I know I can always trust you and you're doing the internet a service by sharing your knowledge in a professional, no-BS way. Thanks so much! Love you!
dldl it took several months. Start sleeping on a wedge that keeps you elevated higher. It’s like sleeping in a recliner. Put a bolster under your knees. It’s harder to roll over that way. Now I just sleep on a higher pillow. No bolster. Good luck 👍🏻
@@d26s10 there are studies that actually states that its good to sleep on your side, as we are actually evolutionary made to sleep on our sides. And also, i find sleeping on my side helped me reduce snoring, and i have less backaches. But i guess if you have no problems with snoring, its better to lay on your back.
chloe C: I have one and use it regularly because I like the cold feeling on my skin. I don’t expect it to do anything for my wrinkles. I only find it relaxing.
@@MzVicky thanks for the comment. I dont have wrinkles yet, but was looking to get it for puffiness of face. My face is always a little puffy when I wake. Is it worth it?
I actually use a jade roller in the morning after washing my face for some swelling I have at times before appying my cerve moisturizer. Thank you for this video. Always very informative.
Well, that was more approving, than I thought it would be 😉 Appreciate that you carefully differentiate between realistic potential benefits and what‘s (very likely) just superstition/wishful thinking. My go to for swollen eyes/puffy face are green tea bags. I keep a couple in the freezer and (of course) wrap them in wet cloth before I massage my face with it. I could swear, that it’s much more effective than just a regular icecubes. I mostly only use this when I have a cold though...I seem to be lucky in that regard.
I think of my jade roller in a similar way you think of your mushroom coffee. I like the “taste”... it feels nice and cooling so from time to time, I use it. I bought mine (it’s probably not real jade because it cost only $14) after my skin healed from what looked like signs of impending Steven’s Johnson’s Syndrome from a medication I was on. My skin never fell off in sheets but it burned for a long time and now that it’s recovered I think I hold a special delight in the cooling sensation I get from a jade roller.
Loveeeee !!!! I literally just got my jade roller in the mail last week and have been using every AM after cleansing! I bought specially for puffiness and it definitely helps!!!! LOVE the coldness and facial message! So happy you approve 🥰🥰
I have a fake jade roller as well as the real one. The jade seems to stay cooler longer. It's also smoother on skin and rolls smoother in the metal frame. I dont use it after using actives but I do use it after moisturizer because it glides better on skin. I find it relaxing and relaxed skin and muscles wouldnt make as many wrinkles, those deep expression lines. My fake jade is some kind of bead, it's not a real stone and it only cost $5. I do see results with decreased puffiness, as I am a side sleeper so one side would swell more. I find that this feels nice when my allergies are acting up.
I bought a $30 dollar quartz one, purely because I like the idea of being extra and giving myself a cooling face massage. Despite knowing most of the alleged benefits were likely woo. But from my own personal anecdotes, I noticed it’s helped reduce puffiness around my eyes from sleeping on my side.
Another great video, Dr. Dray. Your hair loos so shiny and healthy, and those eyelashes...wow! I use a jade roller sometimes, although I'm pretty sure it isn't real jade. I don't think it has any effect on my skin, it is just relaxing, cooling and soothing. It's good for stress, a pleasant ritual.
I like that you take a scientific look at holistic remedies, WITHOUT bashing them. I find it quite hard to find scientific people who take natural items as health care seriously, it is just as hard to find people who are into natural remedies who take science seriously. I am happy to stumble upon your channel
Thanks for the info! Always love your perspective and no BS honesty on skincare. A comment, I feel like this video in particular was very long and repetitive, I actually looked at the time a couple times wondering if it had skipped back because you were repeating yourself almost verbatim. I think a little scripting or editing would be appreciated and helpful in the future to make your content more digestible. Just a thought 💕 looking forward to more content
Happy Friday and happy belated New Year Dr Dray have missed you over the holidays as at country property for Christmas break. So glad you did a review on jade roller they are starting to become popular here in Oz.
I have my daughters jade roller, her skin is beautiful but she gave it to me, to use she us a sweetheart, I used it a few times it’s wonderful cool too on my skin, I clean it but don’t use it much but I am glad to know it is here when I need it. 🥰
You are by far the most informative person on youtube! Iv only used my Jade Roller a few times and even though I don't believe some of the claims it does definitely relax me and makes me feel better before bed x
Hi dr Dray! Logical explanation as usual! Thanks for tips for back sleeping. Useful about the elevation for head and pillows under knees. I have noticed significant reduction in puffiness and lines around the eyes after starting sleeping on my back. Apparently, some lines were really caused by side sleeping. Once I made an effort to sleep on my back, they were gone.
I just recently got a the jade roller in my Fab-Fit-Fun box. Haven't used it yet, so this was very timely. Thanks! It's so hard to train yourself to sleep in a different position, I've been struggling a bit lately after my surgery, but more and more becoming a back sleeper which is the goal (for me).
Been curious about this topic as of late and I appreciate your honest opinion Dr Dray. I have seen through some of the comments that some people like the roller for their sinus issues;- I never thought to use it for that but I too suffer a lot of sinus issues.( Just had my 4th and hopefully last sinus surgery in November 2019) If I do pick up a roller I will use it for that; sounds very soothing! Thanks again for your honest advice Dr Dray!😍
Happy Friday Dr. Dray. You are not a jeweler, but you are a true gem! Thank you for sharing your pearls of wisdom and providing such an informative vlog! Quick question, does drinking from a straw contribute to “smokers lines” around the lips?
Interesting video! I've never paid much mind to the actual claims, but I've been tempted to buy one of these just 'cause it sounds like it could be fun and relaxing. Happy Friday!
I have a smaller jade roller and a larger rose quartz one and I keep them in my skincare mini fridge and I love to roll it on my face haha. My face is always hot and it warms up the rollers pretty fast but I do like it - I don’t expect it to change anything really - but I just like how it feels!!
Great video as usual. I love Friday Q&A and then a weekend vlog session with you and your sweet mom. I’m curious about your thoughts on Curology, as mentioned in another comment. It’s the most common UA-cam ad I see anymore.
Glass globe wands do the exact same thing as rollers as far as reducing puffiness and calming inflamed capillaries and they're usually much cheaper that jade rollers. As an esthetician I don't think the globes or rollers are miracle workers and I only suggest them as a possible way to relieve morning puffiness. Cold spoons do the same thing honestly. Great to hear your opinion on it.
Shut the hell up! How DARE you compare a cold spoon with a century ancient Beauty tool! Putting a cold metal spoon on the skin doesn’t promote blood circulation. That’s why the jade roller SHOULD NEVER be put in the fridge! Because the Jade stone is properly cool on its own!
Dr Dray this was such a great video. I recently started to use a jade roller and wondered if it was affecting my skin care products properly penetrating so I'm really happy you discussed this! Thank you!
Excellent Friday Q & A! In the same realm of ancient Chinese beliefs and topical skin treatments, what are your thoughts on cupping or gua sha? They say it’s for better “circulation” and areas that bruise are where there is “stasis.” Other than broken capillaries that heal within a week or so, are there any long lasting benefits from these practices ?
it can cause suction purpura (bruising) that can be mistaken for child or elder abuse,so we learn to recognize it rather than be alarmed when we see it...but otherwise can't speak to any confirmend health benefits
Definitely can be helpful to those with chronic conditions making them prone to edema. Even under treatment it can be a constant battle. The rollers though can be so expensive. I'm looking for a good under knee pillow :) The night guard works quite well and like it. Have a good weekend.
I use a rose quartz roller. I do keep mine clean and use it after I apply my skincare. I find it exhilarating on my skin. It does help with drainage. I use two small rose quartz stones for my eyes that help with puffiness. They work great for me if I have a sinus headache as well as it relieves the pain.
For me the jade roller (its jade, I had to buy it) is akin to sucking my thumb...A bit more hygienic! here's the real scientific question: if I use a jade roller on one side of the face and tourmaline on the other, could I open a time/space continuum and travel back 10 years?
It has been theorised and suppressed through the generations of alien government. Long short answer is, it works only if you also have a penny in your shoe and if it costs over 100 dollars
can you do a video on baby/kid skincare? I have a 3 year old and I’m not sure if I should be washing her face every day. I’m starting to apply sunscreen to her face every day and use water at night to remove it but since the sunscreen has silicones I’m not sure if I should be using an actual face wash on her. Not sure on how often to bath, what creams/body washes to use etc.
I have both a Jade and rose quartz. I love the cool feeling on my face. It helps with puffiness around the eyes. I wish I could sleep on my back😞 Yes, buyer beware. Great Video Andrea!
Thank you for posting this, I just recently discovered your channel and searched it for if you did a review on a Jade roller in the past.....and now you did. Love my Jade Roller, it feels like it is doing something, we shall see....
I've definitely heard about this technique and how it even helps sculpt your face. Or at least I read that it could and could even opt the roller for a Chinese soup spoon. Don't ask me. I've tried the whole thing and I didn't really see much of a difference. Now I have facial sensitivity neurological problems. Doctors said it's A-Typical face pain. I can't say it's linked but just a theory. I would tell people to be weary doing this, ensure you are doing this properly, and to proceed with caution.
Wow...in all my years of going to the dentist for bruxism I have never been told to try changing my sleeping position. I’m a die hard stomach sleeper. Definitely going to try switching it up with some back sleeping if I can haha
Like many other comments I’ve seen I do use a rose quartz roller as well. Regardless of it works that thing feels amazing and helps press in skin care. For me it helps with puffiness and wakes up my tired skin. Helps soothe my mother’s face too.... she has irritated skin from shingles.
I sleep on my stomach and also have a health issue that causes swelling and puffiness on my face and body. I decided to give the rose quartz roller try for that, to try to iron out my 11's and improve the slight jowels I've started to notice. I really enjoy the feeling of rolling, it really has helped with swelling and it's just relaxing. Jade and quartz isn't that expensive, and I got a beautiful kit for around $25.00. I roll after applying my all my skincare, but I wait for each layer to dry first, and roll after my last 2 steps (oil and cream). I've noticed it helps the oil to absorb, and there's very little product left on the roller. I do agree that things like stainless steel and glass would probably do the same thing.
Happy Friday! Thanks for your videos! Would love to see your opinion on Paula’s Choice skin care line! They just released a new eye cream with retinol!
i have a roller with interchangeable stone heads (rose quartz, jade, amethyst) that I keep in the fridge. i just do it cause it feels nice lol. at first I didn't want the interchangeable heads (it was a gift) because I don't believe in any special stone magic, but the single head version wasn't much cheaper and I later realized that I can change out the heads if one warms up!
Hi, Dr. Dray! Thank you so much for all your informative videos. I've been following your Differin routine and was wondering if you have any thoughts on the new Bliss line at good ol' Target? I've been using the jelly cleanser and the Whatamelon overnight mask. Do you have any thoughts on those, or would you possibly be able to review them? Thanks again for all your awesome videos! 😊
hey dr. dray this is so far off but i wanted to know if it’s safe to use petroleum jelly as a moisturizer for the face. im a new subscriber of yours and i love your videos!
I think that dog is my next door neighbor's long lost cousin! 😫😄 When I had under eye puffiness I tried EVERYTHING to remedy it, with very little success. I slept on my back in an elevated position, learned all the pressure points to address under eye swelling, laid off the salt, purchased every de-puffing eye cream out there, and nothing worked! Restylane in my tear troughs was the answer! Lol! Still, one of the best decisions I've ever made! Great video as usual! 💖😘
Hello! I'm new to your channel (got your info from one of the makeup youtubers I follow) and I'm so thankful (and annoyed) because now I need to overhaul all of my skincare!! In the process of trying to reduce plastic use I got stuck using a lot of "green" skincare and it's INSANE the amount of citrus oil that is used in those products. It's really tough trying to be science smart and environmentally conscious as it seems actually effective ingredients (without fragrance) have very utilitarian plastic packaging while the brands that want to be environmentally conscious to a lot of excessive green-washing. Annoyances aside I wanna thank you for keeping me informed as I try my best to walk the line between being environmentally considerate and actually using products that are effective for my skin.
@@palladio7476 I'm well aware, unfortunately plastic is not infinitely recyclable so once it has gone through the number of lives it has it's still plastic and doesn't easily decompose or compost. Glass however is infinitely recyclable so I prefer to use it when possible.
not buying all the skin care in the first place removes the worry about recycle potential; and from an eco conscious perspective, the plants they grind up and extract to put in the "green" skin care should be left out in nature where they belong
@@DrDrayzday luckily I'm running out of most of my products so I can just not repurchase a few things in order to trim the excess. I really don't care about the "clean/green" label since it's all marketing anyway that just seems to be most of what is sold in glass or metal. So irritating 😤
Avery you may want to try Deciem’s brands The Ordinary and NIOD. They are mostly housed in glass and range from affordable to moderately priced. My advice is to read the ingredients lists as some of the products are superfluous in a skincare routine.
Dr. Dray, you must be a mind reader! I was just going through my Christmas gifts, and I was given two jade "stones" for the face. They are flat and the directions show how to move it over the skin. It suggests to apply a moisturizer and then use the product. I believe it was purchased from TJ Maxx. I am skeptical of these because it would be easy to press to hard. Also, I got so tired of trying to "layer" so many skin care products and after watching your routine, I have greatly simplified my skin care routines. To be honest, I don't think I will take the time to use these. They are beautiful, so I may leave them on my dresser for decor👍💕😊 P.S. I want to also thank you again for promoting the use of spf lip products. Listen to me everyone, my husband is very fair. He enjoys yard work and was always diligent to apply sunscreen... to his skin. He ended up with cancer of the lip. A plastic surgeon removed a portion of his lip. He did a beautiful job, miraculous really. This was 20 years ago (my husband was in his 30's). Since then we have completely stayed away from the sun, and if we go to the beach, we use an umbrella and sunscreen! (My husbands brother ended up with melanoma on his face. He actually lost his left eye. They grew up in Louisiana which has hot, hot summers with lots of sun.)
I'm new here! I have been binge watching you for 3 days. I'm loving your minimalist and affordable approach. I was wondering your thoughts on Clinique 3 step system. I know you aren't a fan of toners but wondering if their products are worth the money!
I’ve been meaning to ask... are there any negative effects from over hydrating/ moisturizing oily skin ? Other than increased shine , can it cause or worsen acne?
Happy New Year to you and your mom! I'd love to hear any information you could impart about Mohs surgery. I have a benign growth (had my dermatologist check it at last year's checkup) near the inner corner of my left eye on the side of my nose, and I've read the Mohs surgery may be the way to remove it before it gets larger.
If you could review Murad, specifically the anti-aging acne line 🤩 it is cruelty free which is great and it’s the only product I’ve seen so far specifically for anti-aging and acne. (Which really looks like it’s more moisturizing than their acne line)
I just purchased a rose quartz roller and find it soothing. Since I do facial massage for lymphatic drainage, I thought that by using both methods, it would be even more beneficial. I have not noticed that the roller does anything but offers a cooling sensation (but it is nice). Thank you, Dr. Dray, for your videos! They are always helpful. ♥

I find it relaxing and relaxed skin and muscles wouldnt make as many wrinkles, those deep expression lines. My fake jade is some kind of bead, it's not a real stone and it only cost $5. I do see results with decreased puffiness, as I am a side sleeper so one side would swell more. I find that this feels nice when my allergies are acting up.
I bought a $30 dollar quartz one, purely because I like the idea of being extra and giving myself a cooling face massage. Despite knowing most of the alleged benefits were likely woo. But from my own personal anecdotes, I noticed it’s helped reduce puffiness around my eyes from sleeping on my side.
they are pretty
Another great video, Dr. Dray. Your hair loos so shiny and healthy, and those eyelashes...wow! I use a jade roller sometimes, although I'm pretty sure it isn't real jade. I don't think it has any effect on my skin, it is just relaxing, cooling and soothing. It's good for stress, a pleasant ritual.
Love your channel! I think it is cool that you are open for every Trend to review. 😃👍
I like that you take a scientific look at holistic remedies, WITHOUT bashing them. I find it quite hard to find scientific people who take natural items as health care seriously, it is just as hard to find people who are into natural remedies who take science seriously. I am happy to stumble upon your channel
Loved your intro Dr Dray
woof ..woof 🐾🐶🐾🐶
Happy Friday to the neighborhood 😁
Thanks for the info! Always love your perspective and no BS honesty on skincare. A comment, I feel like this video in particular was very long and repetitive, I actually looked at the time a couple times wondering if it had skipped back because you were repeating yourself almost verbatim. I think a little scripting or editing would be appreciated and helpful in the future to make your content more digestible. Just a thought 💕 looking forward to more content
Happy Friday and happy belated New Year Dr Dray have missed you over the holidays as at country property for Christmas break. So glad you did a review on jade roller they are starting to become popular here in Oz.
I have my daughters jade roller, her skin is beautiful but she gave it to me, to use she us a sweetheart, I used it a few times it’s wonderful cool too on my skin, I clean it but don’t use it much but I am glad to know it is here when I need it. 🥰
Can I just say... you look hella pretty in the intro, Dr. Dray! Right on!! Happy New Year!! 🤓👍🍾🎉🎶❤
As always - you deserve all the success .
❤️
Thank you so much and Happy Friday!
You are by far the most informative person on youtube! Iv only used my Jade Roller a few times and even though I don't believe some of the claims it does definitely relax me and makes me feel better before bed x
Thank you for this information Dr. Dray! HAPPY FRIDAY! ❤️
They are pretty and feel good when chilled. Specially as a facial massage on tired face. I wouldn't really think rubbing stones would do much more.
You are so funny. This one is an oldie but still relevant. I've been subscribed and watching you for years. 😊
Hi dr Dray! Logical explanation as usual! Thanks for tips for back sleeping. Useful about the elevation for head and pillows under knees. I have noticed significant reduction in puffiness and lines around the eyes after starting sleeping on my back. Apparently, some lines were really caused by side sleeping. Once I made an effort to sleep on my back, they were gone.
Happy Friday!
Happy New Year Andrea! Can you do reviews of so called medical grade products such as what Premier Look?.
Love the jade roller discussion. I use one sometimes but was doing it after moisturizer. Going to try this.
I just recently got a the jade roller in my Fab-Fit-Fun box. Haven't used it yet, so this was very timely. Thanks! It's so hard to train yourself to sleep in a different position, I've been struggling a bit lately after my surgery, but more and more becoming a back sleeper which is the goal (for me).
Been curious about this topic as of late and I appreciate your honest opinion Dr Dray. I have seen through some of the comments that some people like the roller for their sinus issues;- I never thought to use it for that but I too suffer a lot of sinus issues.( Just had my 4th and hopefully last sinus surgery in November 2019) If I do pick up a roller I will use it for that; sounds very soothing! Thanks again for your honest advice Dr Dray!😍
Happy Friday Dr. Dray. You are not a jeweler, but you are a true gem! Thank you for sharing your pearls of wisdom and providing such an informative vlog! Quick question, does drinking from a straw contribute to “smokers lines” around the lips?
Interesting video! I've never paid much mind to the actual claims, but I've been tempted to buy one of these just 'cause it sounds like it could be fun and relaxing. Happy Friday!
I have a smaller jade roller and a larger rose quartz one and I keep them in my skincare mini fridge and I love to roll it on my face haha. My face is always hot and it warms up the rollers pretty fast but I do like it - I don’t expect it to change anything really - but I just like how it feels!!
Skincare mini fridge is such a mood!
Great video as usual. I love Friday Q&A and then a weekend vlog session with you and your sweet mom. I’m curious about your thoughts on Curology, as mentioned in another comment. It’s the most common UA-cam ad I see anymore.
Glass globe wands do the exact same thing as rollers as far as reducing puffiness and calming inflamed capillaries and they're usually much cheaper that jade rollers. As an esthetician I don't think the globes or rollers are miracle workers and I only suggest them as a possible way to relieve morning puffiness. Cold spoons do the same thing honestly. Great to hear your opinion on it.
sophie sabbycat be careful with the glass globes. I read one broke and damaged a person's eye!
Shut the hell up! How DARE you compare a cold spoon with a century ancient Beauty tool! Putting a cold metal spoon on the skin doesn’t promote blood circulation. That’s why the jade roller SHOULD NEVER be put in the fridge! Because the Jade stone is properly cool on its own!
@@doejohn6197 I'm hoping this outrage is just sarcasm. 😳
Doe John Yo wtf 😂
bishes be mad
Are you Chinese?? I don’t think so.
Dr Dray this was such a great video. I recently started to use a jade roller and wondered if it was affecting my skin care products properly penetrating so I'm really happy you discussed this! Thank you!
Thanks!
I loveeeeeee your skin! Dr. Dray if you came out with your own skin line, I would give up everything else!
Excellent Friday Q & A! In the same realm of ancient Chinese beliefs and topical skin treatments, what are your thoughts on cupping or gua sha? They say it’s for better “circulation” and areas that bruise are where there is “stasis.” Other than broken capillaries that heal within a week or so, are there any long lasting benefits from these practices ?
it can cause suction purpura (bruising) that can be mistaken for child or elder abuse,so we learn to recognize it rather than be alarmed when we see it...but otherwise can't speak to any confirmend health benefits
Definitely can be helpful to those with chronic conditions making them prone to edema. Even under treatment it can be a constant battle. The rollers though can be so expensive. I'm looking for a good under knee pillow :) The night guard works quite well and like it. Have a good weekend.
Yes, a nightguard 🌙 I finally got one four years ago, it’s made a big difference! Interesting video as always 👍 Have a great day! xo Stacy
I use a rose quartz roller. I do keep mine clean and use it after I apply my skincare. I find it exhilarating on my skin. It does help with drainage. I use two small rose quartz stones for my eyes that help with puffiness. They work great for me if I have a sinus headache as well as it relieves the pain.
AnneP makeupandmore hi Annie!! 💜
I guess you can do the same thing (massage) with your hands.
AnneP makeupandmore There is a lot to be said for the placebo effect.
Still only anecdotal evidence of efficacy.
@@Patiektigeriausia massage w/ the hands can help produce oil in your skin
This was so interesting. Very nicely done Dr. Dray. 🌹🌹
Thanks for the video! This was helpful.
Thanks for the info Dr.Dray!
For me the jade roller (its jade, I had to buy it) is akin to sucking my thumb...A bit more hygienic! here's the real scientific question: if I use a jade roller on one side of the face and tourmaline on the other, could I open a time/space continuum and travel back 10 years?
😂
No I have tried
Brave soul
what?
It has been theorised and suppressed through the generations of alien government. Long short answer is, it works only if you also have a penny in your shoe and if it costs over 100 dollars
can you do a video on baby/kid skincare? I have a 3 year old and I’m not sure if I should be washing her face every day. I’m starting to apply sunscreen to her face every day and use water at night to remove it but since the sunscreen has silicones I’m not sure if I should be using an actual face wash on her. Not sure on how often to bath, what creams/body washes to use etc.
aale10 excellent video idea!
Yes, great topic!
Yes please!
Yes please! Kids too
Yes please 👍🏼
Your face at the start of the video was completely adorable!!
I've always wanted to know more about the Jade roller! Thanks!
What's your thoughts on curology?
this made my day... always looking forward to your videos. :) yay jade rollers, I have been hearing alot of buzz about these things.
Loving your honest Approach, also respecting belief-systems as just for what they are :)
I have both a Jade and rose quartz. I love the cool feeling on my face. It helps with puffiness around the eyes. I wish I could sleep on my back😞 Yes, buyer beware. Great Video Andrea!
Happy Friday! Thank you for the objective review! You look so pretty.
Happy Friday! Thank you!
Happy Friday Dr Dray...see you tomorrow x
Lol the beginning was adorable!
Thank you for posting this, I just recently discovered your channel and searched it for if you did a review on a Jade roller in the past.....and now you did.
Love my Jade Roller, it feels like it is doing something, we shall see....
Happy Friday!
I've definitely heard about this technique and how it even helps sculpt your face. Or at least I read that it could and could even opt the roller for a Chinese soup spoon. Don't ask me. I've tried the whole thing and I didn't really see much of a difference. Now I have facial sensitivity neurological problems. Doctors said it's A-Typical face pain. I can't say it's linked but just a theory. I would tell people to be weary doing this, ensure you are doing this properly, and to proceed with caution.
Wow...in all my years of going to the dentist for bruxism I have never been told to try changing my sleeping position. I’m a die hard stomach sleeper. Definitely going to try switching it up with some back sleeping if I can haha
Thanks for the review Doc!
Like many other comments I’ve seen I do use a rose quartz roller as well. Regardless of it works that thing feels amazing and helps press in skin care. For me it helps with puffiness and wakes up my tired skin. Helps soothe my mother’s face too.... she has irritated skin from shingles.
the discomfort of shingles can be unbearable. Glad to hear this gives your mother some symptomatic relief
I've never heard of Jade rolling until now. Interesting video.
I sleep on my stomach and also have a health issue that causes swelling and puffiness on my face and body. I decided to give the rose quartz roller try for that, to try to iron out my 11's and improve the slight jowels I've started to notice. I really enjoy the feeling of rolling, it really has helped with swelling and it's just relaxing. Jade and quartz isn't that expensive, and I got a beautiful kit for around $25.00. I roll after applying my all my skincare, but I wait for each layer to dry first, and roll after my last 2 steps (oil and cream). I've noticed it helps the oil to absorb, and there's very little product left on the roller. I do agree that things like stainless steel and glass would probably do the same thing.
Thank God that it’s not harmful.
I think a cold stone roller would be good for when I have sinus pain. Massage helps a little bit. Thanks for the review!
I imagine that would be nice. Thanks for watching Ms Sherry!
I love you Dr. Dray, you’re so funny and cute! You made my smile bigger this morning with your funny face in the intro😄
Doc,, you have the same shaped eyebrows i have and hated them for years but seeing them on makes me feel better about them
Happy Friday! Thanks for your videos!
Would love to see your opinion on Paula’s Choice skin care line! They just released a new eye cream with retinol!
i have a roller with interchangeable stone heads (rose quartz, jade, amethyst) that I keep in the fridge. i just do it cause it feels nice lol. at first I didn't want the interchangeable heads (it was a gift) because I don't believe in any special stone magic, but the single head version wasn't much cheaper and I later realized that I can change out the heads if one warms up!
Dr Dray, what are your opinions on Gua Sha techniques?
Hi Dr. Dray, I love your videos. They are so informative and helpful. Thank you! What do you think about Caudalie and kopari?
Hi, Dr. Dray! Thank you so much for all your informative videos. I've been following your Differin routine and was wondering if you have any thoughts on the new Bliss line at good ol' Target? I've been using the jelly cleanser and the Whatamelon overnight mask. Do you have any thoughts on those, or would you possibly be able to review them? Thanks again for all your awesome videos! 😊
hey dr. dray this is so far off but i wanted to know if it’s safe to use petroleum jelly as a moisturizer for the face. im a new subscriber of yours and i love your videos!
I think that dog is my next door neighbor's long lost cousin! 😫😄 When I had under eye puffiness I tried EVERYTHING to remedy it, with very little success. I slept on my back in an elevated position, learned all the pressure points to address under eye swelling, laid off the salt, purchased every de-puffing eye cream out there, and nothing worked! Restylane in my tear troughs was the answer! Lol! Still, one of the best decisions I've ever made! Great video as usual! 💖😘
Thanks for watching!
Hello! I'm new to your channel (got your info from one of the makeup youtubers I follow) and I'm so thankful (and annoyed) because now I need to overhaul all of my skincare!! In the process of trying to reduce plastic use I got stuck using a lot of "green" skincare and it's INSANE the amount of citrus oil that is used in those products. It's really tough trying to be science smart and environmentally conscious as it seems actually effective ingredients (without fragrance) have very utilitarian plastic packaging while the brands that want to be environmentally conscious to a lot of excessive green-washing. Annoyances aside I wanna thank you for keeping me informed as I try my best to walk the line between being environmentally considerate and actually using products that are effective for my skin.
Avery You can recycle plastic.
@@palladio7476 I'm well aware, unfortunately plastic is not infinitely recyclable so once it has gone through the number of lives it has it's still plastic and doesn't easily decompose or compost. Glass however is infinitely recyclable so I prefer to use it when possible.
not buying all the skin care in the first place removes the worry about recycle potential; and from an eco conscious perspective, the plants they grind up and extract to put in the "green" skin care should be left out in nature where they belong
@@DrDrayzday luckily I'm running out of most of my products so I can just not repurchase a few things in order to trim the excess. I really don't care about the "clean/green" label since it's all marketing anyway that just seems to be most of what is sold in glass or metal. So irritating 😤
Avery you may want to try Deciem’s brands The Ordinary and NIOD. They are mostly housed in glass and range from affordable to moderately priced. My advice is to read the ingredients lists as some of the products are superfluous in a skincare routine.
Dr. Dray, you must be a mind reader! I was just going through my Christmas gifts, and I was given two jade "stones" for the face. They are flat and the directions show how to move it over the skin. It suggests to apply a moisturizer and then use the product.
I believe it was purchased from TJ Maxx. I am skeptical of these because it would be easy to press to hard. Also, I got so tired of trying to "layer" so many skin care products and after watching your routine, I have greatly simplified my skin care routines. To be honest, I don't think I will take the time to use these.
They are beautiful, so I may leave them on my dresser for decor👍💕😊
P.S. I want to also thank you again for promoting the use of spf lip products. Listen to me everyone, my husband is very fair. He enjoys yard work and was always diligent to apply sunscreen... to his skin. He ended up with cancer of the lip. A plastic surgeon removed a portion of his lip. He did a beautiful job, miraculous really. This was 20 years ago (my husband was in his 30's). Since then we have completely stayed away from the sun, and if we go to the beach, we use an umbrella and sunscreen!
(My husbands brother ended up with melanoma on his face. He actually lost his left eye. They grew up in Louisiana which has hot, hot summers with lots of sun.)
I'm new here! I have been binge watching you for 3 days. I'm loving your minimalist and affordable approach. I was wondering your thoughts on Clinique 3 step system. I know you aren't a fan of toners but wondering if their products are worth the money!
I’ve been meaning to ask... are there any negative effects from over hydrating/ moisturizing oily skin ? Other than increased shine , can it cause or worsen acne?
Great information. I just bought a rose quart roller at Wal-Mart. I like the cool for my puffy face
Happy New Year to you and your mom! I'd love to hear any information you could impart about Mohs surgery. I have a benign growth (had my dermatologist check it at last year's checkup) near the inner corner of my left eye on the side of my nose, and I've read the Mohs surgery may be the way to remove it before it gets larger.
I have one and I think it just looks nice on my counter.😅
Aaron Bear 🙊🤣😂🤣😂👍🏼
Aaron Bear 😂😂😂
Hahaha same.
You look so pretty with your hair down!!
If you could review Murad, specifically the anti-aging acne line 🤩 it is cruelty free which is great and it’s the only product I’ve seen so far specifically for anti-aging and acne. (Which really looks like it’s more moisturizing than their acne line)
Thanks for the info...was wondering about jade rollers.
Happy New year
Happy Friday!
I just purchased a rose quartz roller and find it soothing. Since I do facial massage for lymphatic drainage, I thought that by using both methods, it would be even more beneficial. I have not noticed that the roller does anything but offers a cooling sensation (but it is nice). Thank you, Dr. Dray, for your videos! They are always helpful. ♥
Excellent. Was,looking forward to this review.
