How to Use an Ice Roller on Your Face (and When)

Ice face roller

An ice roller is one of the simplest tools in skincare. Ours is a reusable silicone mould: fill it with water, freeze it, then glide the ice over your face for a cool, refreshing massage, especially first thing in the morning.

How to use a silicone ice roller

  1. Fill and freeze. Fill the mould with water and freeze it for several hours, or overnight so it's ready in the morning.
  2. Start clean. Use it on cleansed skin.
  3. Glide outward. Expose the top of the ice and work from the centre of your face outward: forehead, cheeks, jawline. Glide downward on the neck.
  4. Keep it moving. One to three minutes is plenty. Don't hold the ice in one spot.
  5. Rinse and refill. Rinse the mould and refill it for next time.

When to use it

  • In the morning, as a refreshing wake-up
  • Before makeup, as part of your prep
  • After a long day at a screen, as a calming reset

Mistakes to avoid

  • Pressing too hard: a light touch is all you need
  • Holding the ice in one place, or using it on broken or irritated skin
  • Leaving melted water in the mould: rinse it and let it dry between uses

Our Ice Face Roller needs no charging and ships free to the US and UK.
