One of the trendiest skin care tools nowadays is the ice roller. It’s a handheld gadget with a handle to hold and then a roller (or a ball) at the top. After you put it in the freezer, the roller freezes, and then you roll it out on your face for many benefits.
Designed to be chilled to deliver a cooling, tightening effect to the skin, the ice roller is best known for its ability to quickly depuff a tired complexion. But that is not the end of its perks.
Ice rollers stimulate the lymphatic system and massage the face to eliminate puffiness and toxins, stimulate blood flow and reduce muscle tension. Furthermore, it has anti-inflammatory properties, which means that it can slow the effects of aging, speed up healing, and stimulate collagen production.
The cooling action of an ice roller also allows for a refreshed, brighter-looking appearance, as it may help constrict blood vessels, decreasing inflammation and reducing the appearance of broken capillaries.
An roller can be used at any time of the day. In the morning, to help wake the skin up at night, to help spread products to all areas of your face, a cold facial can always be beneficial. If you are just getting an ice roller, it is recommended to place it in your freezer and use it the next day.
In conclusion, an roller is one of the most affordable and easy-to-use skin care tools available today. It just takes a few minutes of use every day and can benefit your skin in many ways.
