Manicare Contour Roller

I wasn't expecting much from this tool but ended up picking it up regularly because it feels quite nice on the face. It is a battery-operated face roller with two different attachments. The main attachment has two balls with flattened planes that spin and slightly grip your skin as you glide it over. When operated with vibration, it feels quite good and relaxing. There is also a smaller two-prong attachment to do the under eye area. The attachments can be removed for easy cleaning. You need to moisturise your skin before using this, so that it will roll smoothly so I usually use it after the last step of my night time routine just because that's when I have time. I suspect it would be better to use it in the morning to reduce puffiness. I feel that it aids circulation but I'm not sure about any sculpting effects. Nonetheless it's pleasant and easy to use and I find myself picking it up quite often. It is pricey at full price but worth considering when on sale.

I have mostly used this Roller set before my morning skincare routine. I love how this rollers massage my facial muscles and kind of give me a head start to the day. It is stress relieving and feels so soothing. I also feel it reduces the puffiness, I have around the cheek area in the morning. It requires an AA battery but is not included in the set. It comes with 2 attachments, the roller and an under eye attachment. I find changing the attachments is not an easy task. It is quite difficult to unscrew the previous attachment as it needs to be screwed in tightly as if it is not then the battery connection to the handle does not activate and this means the roller does not switch on. I mean if at times you just want to open the attachment to switch to another one, it opens the battery compartment instead of opening the attachment. I found it quite difficult to switch attachments so I have hardly used the eye attachment. Otherwise the contour roller is brilliant. It feels so luxurious and looks like it is made of quality material. I love to roll it around my jawlines, , around my cheeks and across my forehead. I also roll it in between my nose. I do feel that after I have used it my face does feel toned and lifted. I enjoy the stress relieving feeling whenever I use the roller. It has a sonic vibration ,which helps to improve blood flow on my face giving me the healthy blush.

Thank you Beauty Heaven for giving me the opportunity to trial the Manicare Contour Roller Set as part of the beautyheaven Biggest Beauty Giveaway 2022 Trial. As per directions this device can be used up to 3 times per week I decided to use it Sundays, Wednesdays and Fridays for trialling purposes. Battery operated I put the battery in before use. After cleansing my face night I applied a generous amount of serum to my skin to provide ample slip, i used it following the guide pressing lightly and moving in upwards and outwards motions on each area 8 times. The device vibrates and as it is gently glided over my skin the rollers give my skin a gentle cooling/soothing effect which calms my skin and after weeks of use I have noticed areas especially under the eyes area used in conjunction with the eye attachment has kept my eye area feeling more soothed/less puffy. Immediately after using my device especially noticeable after the first use my skin felt more firm and tighter. I was pleasantly surprised at how different it felt when I applied my moisturiser on after use as I have never experienced such immediate results after use of a device of this kind before. It is recommended to wipe over the device with a damp cloth but I wipe over it with either a alcohol wipe or a bit of Micellar water on a cotton pad in my mind I feel it is more hygienic.

I found the Manicare Contour Roller really easy to set up. You just twist off the base cap and pop 1 AA battery (not included) inside and twist the cap back on. Then to turn it on you twist the base cap ever so slightly and it starts vibrating. What I don't like is that you can't adjust the level/strength of the vibration and I find it too strong for such a delicate area like my face so instead towards the end of this trial I opted to use it without it being battery operated sort of like a regular face roller as I felt more comfortable using it like this and you just apply your own desired pressure. It also comes with 2 interchangeable heads. A Contour roller for sculpting the cheeks and jaw and a t-bar to massage the under eye area. The interchangeable heads are somewhat easy to change. They screw on and off like the battery cap and are also magnetic but sometimes get stuck and I'm worried that over time I'll strip the thread. The device has some weight to it but I wouldn't call it heavy. The device doesn't come with an instrument manual like all other Manicare device I have which is something I don't like. I would rather it have this. There also aren't any warnings listed. When using the Contour Roller I either use it with a serum, facial oil or sheet mask as you need some sort of slip so that the device can easily glide over your skin without dragging the skin plus it's more comfortable. Results wise it gives a nice massage but it definitely hasn't sculpted my face. Overall I really would have loved if the sonic vibration intensity was adjustable as I personally found it way too intense.
