Some mornings your face just looks tired. An ice roller is one of the easiest tools to fix that feeling: two minutes of cool, gentle rolling and you are ready for the day. Here is how to use one.
What is an ice roller?
An ice roller is a small handheld tool with a roller head that you keep cold in the fridge or freezer. Rolled over the face, it gives a cooling, refreshing sensation that many people love first thing in the morning, after a workout or on hot days.
The 2-minute ice roller routine
- Chill it. Keep your Orgezz Ice Roller in the fridge overnight, or in the freezer for about 15 minutes.
- Cleanse. Start with a clean face. You can roll over bare skin or over a light serum.
- Under the eyes (30 seconds). Roll gently from the inner corner outward, toward the temples.
- Cheeks (30 seconds). Roll from the nose out toward the ears.
- Jaw and neck (30 seconds). Roll along the jawline, then down the sides of the neck.
- Forehead (30 seconds). Roll from the center out to each side.
Tips
- Keep it moving. Do not hold the roller still on one spot for long.
- Too cold? Take a break. If the cold feels uncomfortable, pause or wrap the roller in a thin cloth.
- Clean it after use. Wipe the roller with mild soap and water, dry it, and put it back in the fridge.
Pair it with gua sha
Ice rolling is the perfect finish after a gua sha massage: gua sha first with your serum, then the cool roller. The De-Puff Duo gives you both tools and saves $5.99 compared with buying them separately.
An ice roller is a cosmetic self-care tool, not a medical device. Avoid using it on broken or irritated skin.
