"Skin Icing" Is All Over TikTok Right Now, but Is It an Effective Treatment?

Though many a YouTube or TikTok video will show you people putting actual ice cubes on their bare faces, that direct contact can sometimes be too harsh for people with sensitive skin (and cause more harm than damage). Luckily, it's not the only way to give yourself an ice facial, as you can also do so using tools and products made specifically for the treatment.
"I like ice rollers because they're the most comfortable of the tools to use on yourself, in my opinion," Marino said. "The ice globes and cryosticks are great, too, but I prefer those in the treatment room on a client." Some good options include the BeautyBio Cryo Skin Icing Dual-Ended Roller ($85) that can be stored in the freezer ahead of use or the four-step Jalue Ice Therapy Kit ($45).
Whichever method you choose, just make sure you cleanse and apply your regular serums to your skin beforehand to ensure the easiest glide.
