ICE ROLLER

Ice rolling is a great way to promote lymphatic drainage, reduce puffiness and redness, and lessen inflammation in the skin. The application of a freezing cold roller also boosts circulation, bringing blood to the skin surface, helping to restore radiance & encourage optimum cell function.

Ice rolling can be beneficial for many areas of the body, but especially useful for the face. For the use of your ice roller, first place your clean ice roller in the freezer or bucket of ice for a minimum of 15 minutes. Specifically for facial lymphatic drainage benefits make sure you are rolling in an upward motion in the direction of the facial lymph nodes, moving across the cheeks and jaw line to the ears and down the sides of your neck to your collar bones. This will promote lymphatic stimulation all while getting the benefits of reducing puffiness and redness and boosting circulation.

Your ice roller can also be used with the method of contrast therapy. Either alternating a splash of warm water on the face following with your icy roller or you can also heat your roller under warm to hot water and alternate with a splash of cold water.
