Cryotherapy has been around for some time, but what you may not know is that the full-body cooling treatment also does wonders for the face. Ask facialists and beauty experts alike and they'll tell you: Cold therapy doesn't just relieve muscle pain.
In case you're not familiar with the practice, cryotherapy is recognized for its full-body rejuvenation, targeting pain and inflammation at subzero temps. When it comes to skin care, extreme cold decreases puffiness and inflammation, all while tightening the pores for a fresh morning glow. Facialists today practice the chilling method with popular cryo facials, which use liquid nitrogen (i.e. dry ice) for strong and fast results. And there's an even easier way to get these same benefits right at home.
Freeze tools are the latest trend in facial devices, and a favorite of celebs from Zoey Deutch to Madelaine Petsch. These hand-held gadgets gently roll over the skin for a cooling effect that calms the skin and increases circulation. All of this without the slippery, frostbitten fingers you'd get from rubbing on ice cubes directly. Let them sit in the freezer overnight, and voilà! The icy wake-up call will be especially great for the summer months ahead.
From ice rollers to chilling globes, we've rounded up the best freeze tools to try now.
