Eyes
Gently roll the small roller 3 times around the eye socket. Start from the upper inner edge where your nose hits your brow and move outwards, roll around the top and under the eye towards the tear duct.
Forehead
From the center of the forehead, moving either left or right, begin at the hairline, rolling slowly towards the ear. Repeat 3 to 6 times over the same area.
Nose, Lips and Chin
Using the large roller, work from the nose out to the ear. Continue with upper lip, lower lip and the chin.
At the chin follow along the lower jaw line to under the ear lobe. Then repeat with the other side.
Jawline and Neck
Face rollers are a great way to enhance the look of your jaw and neckline. When using face rollers consistently and correctly, it can help define these areas. Starting on the chin, work from the center outward and upward on the cheeks. Then at the center, make sweeping rolls under the chin towards the collar bone, working outwards to the sides of the neck.
