From shifting puffiness to preventing breakouts, there are so many reasons to try these smart tools.

Incorporating a facial massage tool into your regular beauty routine might just be the secret to supermodel contours – and now, you don't need to be a professional to reap the rewards.

So, what exactly are the benefits of these facial sculpting devices? Generally speaking, massaging your face can alleviate tension in overworked muscles, (jaw-clenchers, we're talking to you), which not only feels heavenly but can also de-puff, tone and lift your complexion.

By kicking your lymph system into gear, a jade roller or gua sha stone (more on that later), can shift toxins and blockages, meaning those long-lost cheekbones will soon reappear, higher and sharper than ever. Alternatively, pick a device enhanced with vibrational technology, and it'll aid absorption of all those lovingly applied serums and creams, ensuring you see optimal benefits from your products.

According to expert facialist Sarah Chapman, working frequent massage sessions into your skincare routine will deliver welcome cumulative results. 'Regular use brightens, tightens, drains toxins and reduces puffiness by boosting the supply of vital nutrients and oxygen to your skin, giving you that immediate, fresh glow,' she says.

If all that hasn't got you convinced, consider the soul-soothing benefits too. Face massagers and sculpting stones are packed with stress-busting power – and we all need a little of that right now. Try sitting down with one after an anxious day, and you'll soon see what we mean.

From the traditional jade rollers of Mount Lai to Angela Caglia's A-list tech – and, of course, Chapman's own cult contraption – all manner of beauty brands are now jumping on board, crafting tools from jade and rose quartz or using sonic technology to bring salon-standard results to you, at home.

Here, we've rounded up the best face massage tools, jade rollers and vibrating wands to start practising with now, along with exactly how to use them, and the results you can expect.

Not only does Mount Lai's marbled purple roller look pretty, the natural (not dyed) amethyst stone is said to help instil a calming energy. Failing that, the mind-soothing rolling motion is sure to set your chakras straight.

Angela Caglia's rose-quartz roller is the A-list massage tool of choice (Courtney Cox loves hers so much, she's been papped using it on a dinner date).

Turns out, our favourite Friend might be onto something: the 6000 sonic vibrations it emits per minute can undo tension in the tightest of jawlines, coaxing your natural bone structure back to the fore. Think of it as super-charged lymphatic drainage.

If you're not on a Hollywood star's salary, the brand's manual non-vibrating roller is excellent, too.

This smart massage roller is crafted from Zamac metal, so stays cool as you run it over tired eyes and puffy cheeks. The double-pronged top is precisely crafted to grab and lift the facial muscles, draining fluid while lifting and sculpting, and the tiny individual roller is perfect for use around the eyes.

Alicia Keys' lifestyle brand is designed to deliver moments of mindfulness each and every day. The best place to start is this weighty face roller, which ditches the traditional jade in favour of an obsidian stone, which is believed to help eliminate feelings of negativity. Whether that's true or not, we can't be sure, but we can tell you it's a heavenly way to massage in the brand's Skin Transformation Cream.

This is definitely the best value jade roller on the market, and it makes a great option for those new to face rolling. It's sturdy enough to deliver a satisfying massage, and glides perfectly over a calming face oil (like this one).

Sure, it looks a little scary, but this celeb-approved contraption is the holy grail for any habitual jaw-clencher.

Studded with nodules, the four massage wheels treat the jawline using a firm but comfortable kneading technique, which mimics the fingertips and knuckles, bringing blood to the surface and unravelling tight muscles.

Teresa Tarmey is one of London's most in-demand facialists, so naturally her new at-home product line is a step up from most.

Plated in antibacterial 24kt gold, this vibrating facial massager is designed to offer double-duty benefits, both increasing the absorption rate of a serum and encouraging lymphatic drainage. The results? Better efficacy from your favourite product, and noticeably reduced puffiness. With toxins prevented from stagnating around the face, you may even see a reduction in breakouts, too.

This set is a great introduction to the circulation-boosting benefits of cupping. Simply place the silicone 'cups' over your face, before gently moving them in outwards motions to kick-start that all-important lymph flow.  

Facialist Ada Ooi is famed for her transformative face-sculpting powers, and now you can reap (some of the) benefits at home with her line of gua-sha stones, face massagers and cryotherapy tools. 

These chilly globes are designed to boost blood flow around the eyes without proving too cold for the delicate skin. Fresh from your fridge, they'll be just the right temperature to shift toxins and brighten dark circles.

When an A-list facialist collaborates with masking experts 111 Skin, you know the results are going to be good. This limited-edition set contains a selection of celeb-adored sheet masks alongside Czech's famous two-pronged massager. Apply your mask, then roll over the top for a heavenly cooling massage and optimum product penetration.

A pocket-sized option, this mini roller is ideal for taking on weekends aways. It's two-pronged, so lifts and drains brilliantly, and can be used with any facial oil for maximum pampering appeal.

This tiny yet effective tool is brilliant for tension relief, both at home and on the go. It's specifically shaped to be pressed against the face's key acupressure zones, relieving stiffness and lymph blockages. A great one for gifting.

This cheap and cheerful ice roller will come in handy once those festive parties arrive: keep it in your freezer and it'll instantly wake up overtired skin (and a groggy head). What late night?

Make-up artist Jillian Dempsey sourced these vibrating face tools from Japan, where she first discovered their cheekbone-chiselling powers. Plated in 24kt gold, it's a luxurious option that'll help drain puffiness from the eyes, cheeks and jawline.

For serious lifting effects, opt for a double-pronged roller, as they'll 'grab' and manipulate the skin much more effectively. This cooling metal device mimics the action of an expert facialist's knuckles, firmly kneading your skin to firm and tone for that post-pro facial lift. Simply roll over clean skin or after applying a serum to help tired skin defy gravity.

If product absorption is your primary aim, give this one a go. Apply your favourite serum directly onto the cool metal tip, place it on your skin, and it'll vibrate until it detects that all moisture has been soaked up.

It may not look like much, but investing in Hayo'u's Beauty Restorer might just be the best thing you ever do for your skin and your stress levels.

As part of an evening skincare routine (preferably after slathering on a luxe moisturiser or facial oil), press and stroke the cool metal against your skin for a minute or so. It has the clever ability to bring down inflammation and to kick-start micro-circulation at the skin's surface. More blood flow = plump, pillowy skin.
