Review (5/5): My savior from sinus pressure!!
I have a dog I'm slightly allergic to, and the changing of seasons are always bad too. I used to wake up and reach for some excredrin for the constant headache, or just tough it out and wait six hours for the pressure that built up in my head overnight to dissipate. Now I just make my way to the mirror (or on very bad days say "honey will you please bring me my roller??) and just get to work. You know how sometimes in a deep tissue massage you don't know if you're moaning in relief or because maybe it sorta hurts? I sound like that in the morning.
But it's just been the best thing ever. I follow the instructions for "lymphatic drainage", really focusing on where my sinuses are and rolling them out (with no small amount of pressure). Within five minutes my headache is gone and I feel so much better. Are there anti-aging benefits, am I firming my neckline and sculpting my face? I don't know. maybe. come back in ten years. I do it at night as well, though, so I obviously enjoy the process even when I don't need it for sinus relief.
As far as the quality of this roller in particular? I'm very impressed. It arrived with no chips. It is cool to the touch, although will match your skin temperature eventually. It rolls easily, and is not "squeaky". It is of a higher quality than some of the rollers sold at sephora.
I have already bought my mother one for Christmas, since she has very puffy eyes and also gets sinus headaches, that is how much I love facial rolling and this roller in particular.
