From jade rollers to metal sculptors, these facial massagers are the key to a lifted and radiant complexion.

These days, it seems like skincare trends come and go as fast as you snap your fingers. But if there's one trend that's proven to have great staying power over the years, it's face rollers. And it's not hard to see why really: Just as their name suggests, the at-home beauty tools are essentially like a massage for your face. They help reduce puffiness, aid in lymphatic drainage, and increase blood circulation, leaving you with a sculpted, toned, more lifted complexion. And while every skin type can benefit from a face massager, pinpointing the exact one to incorporate into your regimen can understandably be overwhelming. How does one choose between a jade roller, a rose quartz massager, or stainless steel tool? Don't fret—here we break down the 7 best face rollers for a youthful-looking complexion.

Dating back to ancient China, jade rollers are touted for their ability to simultaneously boost circulation and detoxify the skin while combating puffiness and increasing radiance. This one from Mount Lai is double-sided with a large end for the forehead and cheeks and a smaller end for those hard-to-reach areas (think: under the eyes, below the eyebrows, and around the nose). The gemstone feels especially cooling on skin too, which makes the experience of self-massaging all the more relaxing.

Reviewers also rave about how well it seals in their favorite skincare products, with one writing: "It really helps my serums and moisturizer absorb even better, and also is soooo soothing on my rosacea... This is such a must and I have really enjoyed elevating up my self care routine even more."

Like jade, rose quartz works wonders at supporting lymphatic drainage, boosting circulation, depuffing, and chiseling out your jawline. But what this particular dual-ended facial sculptor is also great at is improving the appearance of pores, tackling redness, and reducing dark circles.

"The stone quality is great of course but I really love how sturdy the whole thing is, and also how heavy it is," writes a reviewer. "The stones are super secure and the fact that it's so large and heavy it makes for an even better face massage. It's expensive but really is so much better than other brands."

Stainless steel is another great option because it's durable, naturally cool to the touch, and non-porous, which helps prevent any bacteria build-up that can transfer to skin.

One reviewer also likes how "less skincare product gets into the roller" and how it retains its chill without popping it into the fridge. "I use this after my serums and roll up my cheek bones and forehead," adds the fan. "It is the best massage and my skin looks fabulous after!"

This isn't your typical face roller, but trust us, the results are magical. The hexagon-shaped wand is covered in 24 massaging tourmaline stones that help enhance features, boost collagen, and improve the overall appearance of skin. For best results, use daily on desired areas of the face.

"When I do use it I find it very uplifting and soothing," writes a reviewer. "The cold sensation helps alleviate the tension around my eyes and temples. I find using this makes my face less puffy. "

Want to trick everyone into thinking you just got a facial? Rolling Joanna Czech's zinc and aluminum handheld tool against your face for a couple of minutes a day will truly deliver a chiseled and contoured look like none other. Use in tandem with your favorite cleansing oil, serums, or creams for optimal results.

It doesn't get more luxe than Jillian Dempsey's face roller. Made of 24k gold, the bar mimics the effects of a massage and helps skin look tightened, brightened, and toned with each vibration.

"Within seconds of using, my face begins to glow & it feels wonderfully soft & smooth to touch," ravers a reviewer. "My makeup goes on much better after use too. I would highly recommend the Gold Bar, it's definitely worth every penny/dollar."

Bid farewell to tired eyes thanks to Angela Caglia's rose quartz massagers. When gently rolled around the orbital bone, the tool helps plump up the skin, improve elasticity, and refresh the under-eye area. Pro tip: Pop them in the fridge for an extra cooling feel.
