Uncovering the Skin-Transforming Benefits of Using Ice on Your Skin

What are the benefits of Ice Rollers?

• Reduction of inflammation and redness. By lowering the temperature of your skin, blood vessels constrict, which in turn reduces swelling. This soothes irritated skin and calms redness caused by acne.
• Reduction of under-eye swelling and dark circles. The cold effect stimulates your lymphatic system, treating stagnant fluid—which causes puffiness—to drain.
• Firmer skin. The skin immediately appears smoother and more refined.
• Stimulate circulation. Ice can help stimulate blood circulation in the skin, bringing more oxygen and nutrients to the surface to promote a healthy, glowing complexion.
• Better absorption of products. Using an ice roller as the final step in your routine will help tighten your pores so that products penetrate deeper.
• Shrinkage of pores. The tightening of pores also makes them appear smaller.

How to use an ice roller correctly

To enhance the skin, follow these steps: Make sure the roller is cold by either placing it in the freezer or if that’s too cold, in the fridge. After fully chilled, remove it and let it thaw for about 3 minutes to prevent skin irritation or damage.

How you can use it as a facial massager: from bottom to top (using upward movements to combat gravity) and then outwards to aid in lymphatic drainage. Remember to be gentle, avoid excessive pressure, and limit ice roller usage (around 2 minutes on each side of the face is sufficient). To prevent bacterial growth on the tool, it’s crucial to clean it after every use.
