We'll spare you the science lesson, but as the weather gets warmer, your body can tend to retain more water due to blood vessel dilation and fluid conservation. We can only speak for ourselves here, but this tends to show up as puffy cheeks and jowls, as well as tired, irritated eyes - especially from a lack of sleep in the heat.
Similar to a gua sha, ice globes or 'ice rollers' (as they're commonly known) can help you to regulate your temperature, assist in lymphatic drainage, contour your face and soothe red, irritated skin. Simply leave the ice globes in the fridge and then run them over your face for a soothing DIY facial massage.

Another added, 'Seen celebrities use these a few times while watching the telly and never understood the hype, but wow was I wrong! These are great, they leave your skin feeling cool and calm. After a day's work, these make you relaxed and your inflamed skin cool. Definitely recommend.'
FAQs
What are ice globes?
Ice globes or 'ice rollers' are beauty tools designed to help cool, soothe and depuff the face. They usually consist of glass spheres attached to handles that you massage across your face and neck. For best results, chill them in the fridge before use to maximise their soothing and refreshing benefits.
How to use ice globes on your face?
Begin by chilling your ice globes in the fridge. After about 30 minutes, once they’re cold enough, take them out and get ready to treat your face to a luxurious massage. Always start with clean, moisturised skin. For best results, try applying a hyaluronic acid serum.
Using light pressure, gently roll the globes over your face in upward and outward motions. Focus on areas like the under eyes, cheeks, jawline, forehead, and neck. Be especially gentle around the delicate eye area. You can also use slow, circular movements or hold the globes over closed eyelids for a few seconds at a time.
Continue for up to 10 minutes a day, up to three times a week if you feel it's necessary. After each use, clean the globes with a gentle cleanser or an alcohol wipe, and store them safely for next time.
What are the benefits of using an ice globe?
As well as cooling you down in the heat, ice globes are fantastic at depuffing the face, particularly around tired eyes or puffy cheeks that tend to retain water during hotter weather. They also work towards soothing redness and irritation, as well as boosting circulation, which can result in firmer, glowier skin with repeated use.
Do ice globes go in the freezer or fridge?
It's not recommended to store ice globes in the freezer due to the harsher temperature. This can ultimately damage the product, causing cracks and breakages that you'd probably rather avoid. Instead, stick to storing them in the fridge for a few hours, or at most, overnight. After use, give them a clean and store them in your designated beauty drawer for next time.
