Some trends are hot and cold. The promise of this cooling sensation is exactly what drew me to jump on the ice globe skincare train. I’ve read all about the trendy products, including their ability to treat bags under the eyes, reduce redness, and leave skin feeling cool and refreshed. They could also give me a little lymphatic facial massage without the strength of a gua sha tool, which intrigued me, and I tested the ice globe.
A ice globe is a round glass instrument filled with liquid that creates a cooling effect when chilled overnight in the refrigerator. They have a variety of therapeutic benefits, including reducing redness, puffiness, dark circles and shrinking pores.
“Ice globe really helps reduce inflammation, puffiness and redness,” says Ms. Deng, a professional facialist. It slows your blood flow to reduce pain and redness. The same goes for facial skin, and using a ice globe is a fun, quick way to achieve those effects.”
Ms Deng recommends that her clients with inflamed acne use it twice a day – morning and evening – to reduce pain, redness and inflammation. If you’re concerned about acne, consider pairing your cool globes with the best moisturizer for oily skin.
Facial Ice Globes for Face Review
Step 1: Cool the Ice Globe
Excited to test them out, I noticed a warning on the bottom, “Do not store Ice Globes in the freezer. Store in the refrigeration or place in an ice bowl or cold water before use.” Wow, almost a mistake a mistake. After browsing their website, I learned that the specially designed fluid inside the ice globe, while stable at low temperatures, could damage the face ice globe if left in extremely low temperatures for long periods of time. So I put them in the freezer for 10 minutes, which is the recommended duration.
Step 2: Apply Serum
While I waited, I applied a facial serum. The box says the puck works best “when paired with a moisturizing mask or serum.” Ms Deng points out that this is because the spheres help the product penetrate the skin rather than stay on it. This step is just as important as getting your skincare routine going so the products work their magic by soaking into the skin.
Step 3: Massage the Face with A Ice Roller Onto the Skin
I started using the ice globe following the steps of the lymphatic facial massage. Starting in the center of the face, I rolled the ball out and down the neck. Ms.Deng recommends keeping the ice globe moving rather than keeping them in one place and fixed in one place, as that can cause irritation. The puck glides effortlessly over my skin, and the coolness feels absolutely amazing in 113-degree weather.
My face looked more rosy than usual that day and I was happy to see that my skin tone was evened out after using the face pods. It’s probably a combination of the cooling effect of the ice globe and the fact that my skin absorbs the serum properly.
I also tried the Lifting Facial, which involves stroking upwards along my chin, cheekbones, and above my brows. While I can’t say I’ve noticed a noticeable lift in my skin after one use, it’s certainly satisfying – better than nothing. After a while, my lift shifted, stroking impromptu up and down in every direction. Surprisingly, this was a pleasant surprise for me. It turns out that following the contours of my skin while paying attention to which areas need a lift works best.
The mornings are my favorite time to use ice globes as they immediately reduce puffiness while helping my skin look and feel more awake, and of course, my mind is clearer too. On Ms. Deng’s suggestion, I clean the ice globes with 70% alcohol after every practice session. This keeps my new skincare tools clean and tidy for future use. I also store them in the gift box foam cutouts they arrived in to keep them safe.
