Each massager has its own set of benefits (some lift and tone; others dial down inflammation), but they all impart some sort of glow: In fact, regular facial massage has been shown to increase blood flow to the face1 and deliver much-needed nutrients and oxygen to the skin cells—which, in turn, has been shown to help with fine lines, promote collagen synthesis, and even tone.

Some sculptors do just that—they sculpt the facial muscles for a lifted appearance—while other tools soothe the skin and bring down puffiness (like the aforementioned ice rollers and globes). Then you have the dual-pronged options—these hook onto your bone structure and are divine for melting away jaw tension. Gua shas seem to do it all, as the boards smooth out fine lines, promote lymph flow to deflate puffiness, and tone the skin as you sweep. Microcurrent devices send gentle jolts of energy to stimulate your skin cells. Choose a face massager based on its perks (or opt for a double-sided number, which includes multiple). Technically, you can use each of these face massagers any time you like, but it does take a bit less effort to use a face roller on your jaw than to break out the microcurrent device (which typically includes a priming gel or serum to slather on beforehand). Just something to note before selecting your tool of choice.
