Facial Ice Rolling: Benefits, Risks and How to Do it Effectively (3 of 3)

How to Perform Ice Rolling

Getting started with ice rolling is pretty simple, and the entire act of ice rolling takes only a few minutes to complete. 

1. Place your ice roller in the freezer; the time should align with the product manufacturer’s recommendation.

2. Make sure your skin is clean and dry.

3. Start with gentle upward and outward motions using the ice roller, sweeping across your cheeks, chin, jawline, and forehead.

4. Use a light pressure only, and keep the roller moving consistently instead of holding it for too long in any one place.

5. Take some extra time around your under-eye area if you are hoping to reduce puffiness.

6. Finish by applying moisturizer and sunscreen if you will be spending time outdoors.
