Most people dream of keeping their skin beautiful and youthful forever. Unfortunately, as the years pass, the level of collagen in the skin decreases, resulting in wrinkles and loss of firmness. Over the years, there have been many treatments that are able to prevent skin aging, but very often they require a visit to professional clinics and undergo expensive procedures. However, there is an at-home skin lift available for almost nothing.
Ice rolling, freely translated from English, means rolling ice, or in the case of this treatment, rolling ice over the skin of the face. The treatment consists mainly in massaging the face, neck and décolleté with a tool resembling a jade roller already known in cosmetics, except that instead of jade stones at the ends of this device there is a mixture of water and gel, which turns into ice when put into a freezer. Such a device will certainly serve for many years, so it is not worth saving on it. A good quality ice roller can be bought for about 50 zł
How does it differ from regular ice cubes? First of all, it does not dissolve under the influence of heat and does not leave much water on our skin. These are the main differences that make buying a professional roller the best option for performing cold massages
Regularly performing ice massage will make the effects comparable to an expensive facelift. Such a treatment is also a relief for tired and black eyes. Cold is able to positively affect swelling, dark circles under the eyes and refresh the appearance of the skin. Thanks to this procedure we can quickly, cheaply and safely influence the condition of our complexion.
The benefits of cold treatments such as ice massage, walruses, or cryotherapy have been known in medicine and cosmetics for a long time. Cold is able to inhibit the skin aging process, helps in the treatment of arthritis and improves blood circulation throughout the body
Regular massage with such a roller is able to enhance the cheekbones. Additionally, massage performed on the neck will help to get rid of unsightly wrinkles on its surface such as venus necklace. We must remember to perform the procedure correctly. This is very important, because the wrong use of such a tool can not only fail to bring results, but also worsen the appearance of our skin
The first step in preparing to perform an ice roller massage is to place it in the freezer for at least 2 hours so that the liquid inside freezes completely. Thoroughly cleanse your face just before the treatment
The massage starts from the forehead and moves from the center of the forehead to the temples to the left and to the right. Then gently and very carefully massage around the eyes. It is very important to use movements directed towards the outer part of the face, i.e. towards the ears. The next area is the nose. Massage it gently along the wings, moving upward. Next, we massage the area just below the cheekbones and around the mouth. The massage can also be applied to the neck and décolletage, constantly moving from the inside to the outside. The duration and frequency of this treatment depends on your needs and expectations. It is best performed daily or every other day for about 10-15 minutes.
