The Best Ice Globes and Cryotherapy Tools to Depuff and Soothe Skin

Shoppers love these globes for calming redness post-procedure and to soothe migraine pain. They’re made from freezer-safe borosilicate glass that won’t shatter the moment you apply a bit of pressure—and come with additional silicone sleeves to keep your hands from getting too cold. And for just $18, it’s also a low-committal way to test-drive the beauty tool. 

If you’re in the market for more targeted cooling to help with congestion or headaches, these smaller globes may be right for you. The compact size lets you apply direct pressure onto sinuses, dark circles, or temples to help relieve headaches and migraines. They’re also available in several colors (including a very pretty gold glitter), with protective sleeves covering the handles. 

These glittering globes are a guaranteed way to make even the most hungover of mornings feel a little better—and will instantly erase that last glass of wine from your face. Their slightly smaller (but not mini) size makes them particularly good for depuffing and soothing around the eyes.  

You want your ice globes to glide across your face, not out of your hands, which is what makes Fourth Ray Beauty’s grips so brilliant. Note that these globes are only intended to go in the fridge, not the freezer, which makes them great for sensitive-skin types who may not be able to handle the straight-from-the-freezer chill. 

This stainless-steel roller stays a cool 45 degrees consistently, helping with lymphatic drainage, elasticity, large pores, and inflammation. The larger end is ideal for rolling over temples, cheekbones, or stiff body parts, while the smaller end is better for more targeted use around the eyes and on any pimples. 

You can use this skin-care tool like a standard jade roller to help with puffiness and redness. Since the roller itself is made of plastic, it won’t stay as cold as its metal counterparts, but for $10 it’s a budget-friendly way to road-test a new beauty product.

You’re in for a big, ice-cold treat with this gel roller, which combines elements of cryotherapy and jade rolling into one easy-to-use tool. Just pop it in the freezer for 15 minutes and you’re ready to massage away any swelling or facial redness. Even better, the gel roller comes off easily, making it a breeze to clean in between skin-care regimens. 

This detachable roller is big enough to depuff your whole face quickly and easily, but you won’t have to rush, given that the stainless-steel head stays cold for up to two hours. Because of that, it’s also perfect for soothing sore muscles post-workout.

The ergonomic handle and egg-shaped stainless-steel barrel make this roller a great pick for cooling hard-to-reach spots, reducing acne inflammation, and soothing sensitive skin concerns like eczema and rosacea. 

This souped-up tool uses a mix of textured balls and sonic waves to sculpt areas prone to fine lines and help skin-care products penetrate deeper. Chill the detachable balls in the fridge for a morning pick-me-up, or heat them up in warm water to help with tension release before bedtime.

This cryo mask combines all the benefits of a silicone face mask—namely, helping serums penetrate better—with those of a traditional ice roller for an otherworldly glow. Bonus: The little metal pieces stimulate acupressure points to help relieve stress and headaches, making it the perfect remedy after a night out. 

These 18K-gold tools feel as good as they look, which comes as no surprise to us since they were created by celebrity facialist Angela Caglia (whose clients include Helena Christensen and Chrissy Teigen, to name a few). Caglia is a huge proponent of facial massage, and gliding these wands over a sheet mask may just be the next best thing to a facial at her star-studded studio. 

If ingredients are important to you—even if they won’t be directly touching your face—you may want to check out these pretty pink ice globes, since the liquid inside is a plant-based solution. As far as the tools themselves go, they’re ergonomically shaped to hug the contours of your face while lifting and soothing. 

The best part of these tools from celebrity facialist Georgia Louise is that the plastic handles don’t freeze your hands, even while the metal eggs stay ice cold. Louise’s favorite way to use them is gently rolled over a sheet mask to help your skin drink up the moisture, in addition to depuffing. 

Dealing with tired eyes, allergies, or screen strain? This lightweight metal duo is just right. Pass these metal globes over your temples and undereye area, or push down gently against pressure points for instant relief.

Roll away any signs of puffiness and dullness with this stainless-steel ball. The tool unscrews so just the ball is chilled while the base remains at room temperature, so your hands won’t get cold in the process. Since you can get a stronger grip on this orb than on your average glass globe, it’s great for more intense pressure to calm headaches and sore muscles. 

For a TikTok-approved hack, use a spherical ice tray to make your own ice balls in the freezer. While they’ll be chilly to hold, it’s a clever way to get all the benefits of cryotherapy without dropping too much cash—not to mention there’s the added bonus of upping your at-home cocktail-making skills with some fancy ~ice cubes~.
