THE ACU-ROLLER
THE ACU-ROLLER, designed with delicate 0.25mm needles, is an essential tool to naturally stimulate collagen and elastin in the skin. These are protein fibers found in the skin that can improve skin tone, elasticity and vitality. These micro-needles gently stimulate the skin, much like an acupuncture needle, bringing blood flow to the area, providing the nearby cells with fresh nutrients for regeneration, without injury or perforation to the skin.
Designed for gentle use on the face, however, the ACU-ROLLER can be used on other parts of the body where regeneration is needed. THE ACU-ROLLER offers a natural approach to deep rejuvenation of the skin.

Divide your face into sections and roll each area 2 or 3 times, using vertical, horizontal or diagonal strokes. Lift the roller after each pass or lighten the pressure on the return stroke as to not over stimulated the skin.

Post practice care:
Cleanse your face with a face-clothe and re-apply a clean layer of natural face oil for maximum hydration.
