Next time your skin is feeling stressed and unhappy, a nice facial massage powered by one of the below tools will spoil your skin with the loving, lifting, and sculpting it needs.

Yes and no. Any kind of face massage can offer lymphatic drainage benefits to help your skin eliminate toxins and rid itself of puffiness. Your tool of choice can be anything—jade roller, electric device, whatever works for you. Face massagers can also help your skin absorb its favorite serums or face moisturizers. That said, when it comes to de-puffing and de-inflaming, the effects of facial massage will be short-term.

So turn on some relaxing tunes, have a glass of wine nearby, then get to unwinding with one of these face massage tools that are sure to bring sensorial spa-like feels to your own bathroom. Massage on.

The Detoxifier

Herbivore Jade Facial Roller

Dermatologist Melissa Kanchanapoomi Levin, M.D. told Marie Claire: “Jade rolling may increase some level of lymphatic drainage in the face, which can temporarily reduce swelling." Basically, this cult-loved roller from Herbivore is just only for looking good on your Instagram feed. When paired with a serum, oil, moisturizer, or mask, it detoxifies the skin and pushes products deeper into the epidermis, giving you better absorption.

The Classic Gua Sha Toolu

Mount Lai Gua Sha Facial Lifting Tool

This three-sided tool targets the different areas that cause puffiness around the face. The sharper end works to relieve jaw pain caused by TMG, while the longer side sculpts your cheekbones. The short ends also relieves tension in the browbone.

The Sleek Pick

Nurse Jamie Instant UpLift Massaging Beauty Roller

This bright purple tool is outfitted with 24 black tourmaline stones that massage and de-puff the skin. The unique rolling motion is designed to mimic the feeling of getting a classy massage in the comfort of your own bathroom.

The Hidden Gem

ULTA Rose Quartz Facial Roller

This double-sided roller from ULTA's own brand is top-rated for reason. You get two tools for only $20, for one, plus the cooling rose quartz material de-puffs face and eye areas in a few easy rolls.

The TIkTok Favorite

Skinny Confidential Hot Mess Ice Roller

The Internet loves this jumbo ice roller from Skinny Confidential. Keep in the fridge or freezer for a blast of chilly de-puffing action and to help with lymphatic drainage in the morning, or use it at night to relieve your face from the stress of the day.

The Splurge-Worthy Pick

Shani Darden Skin Care Facial Sculpting Wand

Celebrity esthetician Shani Darden has worked with celebrities like Emily Ratajkowski, Jessica Alba, and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, so I trust that her Facial Sculpting Want is worth the splurge. It uses using sound wave technology to target crow's feet and fine lines to give your face a lifted look.

Best for the Under-Eye Area

FOREO IRIS Illuminating Eye Massager

Celebs like Gemma Chan love this Illuminating Eye Massager from FOREO. It uses a swiveling vibration movement to decrease the look of under-eye darkness, puffiness and wrinkles.

The People's Choice

Skin Gym Face Sculptor

This popular pick is loved for its ability to deeply knead away at your skin for the ultimate sculpted effect. To chisel your cheekbones and bring out the natural contours of your face, sans makeup, apply your favorite moisturizer or serum then glide this roller upward and outward in soft, gentle strokes for five to 10 minutes. The massage will give you that I-just-left-a-facial glow at home.

FaceGym Multi-Sculpt

Yes, your facial muscles can be worked out as well. This high-performing gua sha tool is made of recyclable stainless steel and mimics the transformative results of FaceGym's popular in-studio workout sessions.

The Anti-Ager

NuFACE mini

This mini microcurrent facial toning device is a celebrity favorite, loved by Miranda Kerr, Jennifer Aniston, Jessica Alba and more for a reason. That's because in five minutes it'll give you a face lift. It sends tiny electrical currents through your skin, to stimulate the muscles underneath to tone and tighten your skin, which bids adieu to the look of fine lines and wrinkles overtime. Lather the leave-on gel all over, then glide the NuFACE across your skin as instructed by the brand.
