Sharing my Skinny Confidential Ice Roller review, the benefits I’ve seen, how I store my roller, and more.
My ice roller was a gift to myself over the holidays. Between the traveling and indulging in treats, I was feeling fluffy and puffy and was seeing that reflected in my face. When I have a few glasses of wine or a salty meal, I can pretty much guarantee I will wake up with a puffy face. I know ice rollers have been popular for awhile now but I’d never tried it. I heard rave reviews about the Skinny Confidential’s ice roller and decided to give it a whirl for myself.
Before getting into my experience, let’s tackle first things first — what the heck is an ice roller and what does it do? An ice roller is a beauty tool that defines and contours your bone structure, tightens your pores, reduces puffiness and redness, boosts circulation, and helps with lymphatic drainage.
The Skinny Confidential Ice Roller Review
There are a fair amount of ice rollers out on the market and the Hot Mess Ice Roller is on the pricier side at $70 (here is a $20 option from Amazon with a 4.7 rating). However, because this roller is made of all-aluminum it stays colder longer and I like how it glides smoothly on my face and neck. You also don’t need to worry about water dripping all over your face and clothes, that doesn’t happen with this roller.
I use my roller in the mornings after I wash my face. I use the ice roller for about 5-10 minutes, usually while listening to my favorite daily news podcast. So I start with using upward strokes on my jaw, cheeks, forehead, and hold it for a few moments on my temples and under my eyes. Then, I use downward strokes on my neck. You can use the ice roller on your chest but I typically focus on my face, particularly my jaw.
You can use your roller in the evenings as well but I like to have it as part of my morning routine to really help wake me up!
I’ve been using my ice roller almost every day for the last month and have seen a noticeable difference in my jawline and cheekbones. The de-puffing results do last, which was a pleasant surprise.
Benefits of Ice Rolling
I can’t speak to the long-term benefits of ice rolling since I’m only a month in to the practice. Beyond the skin and complexion benefits, I will say there is a mental health boost as an unexpected bonus. It’s nice to have a dedicated 5 minutes of peace and quiet time amidst the morning chaos just for myself.
The benefits I’ve experienced have been quick, significant de-puffing in my face and a more contoured jawline. I was blown away, it felt like my skin was tighter and like my face shape had changed. The small pockets of redness on my cheeks are also reduced after I started regularly using my ice roller.
How I Store My Skinny Confidential Ice Roller
Our freezer is insanely cold so I prefer to keep mine in the refrigerator. It’s still quite cold and I love how it’s always ready to go. I didn’t like the idea of it being in the fridge just by itself so I store my ice roller in a reusable Ziploc baggie.
