Benefits of Cryotherapy Facial Tools at Home
Ice, ice, baby…
Makeup artists have been using straight up ice to depuff the face, shrink undereye bags and tighten up the skin for years. Thankfully this has now evolved and there are plenty of options that won’t leave you with an ice cube melting in your hand and dripping water everywhere.
Ice Globes and different Cryotherapy tools are great to use at home for a quick undereye treatment, a morning pick-me-up, and to get a glow on before a night on the town.
Cryotherapy benefits include immediate sculpting effects, which encourage the skin to become a tighter, smoother, perkier version of itself. The cold shock causes blood vessels to constrict, firming and tightening the skin. Once that cold shock subsides, blood vessels swell back up with nutrient-rich blood. This temporary increase of localized blood flow increases circulation and enhances the performance of your skincare products, by helping actives to penetrate deeper. That temporary increase of circulation also provides that great glow everyone is after.
When using these cryotherapy tools, stick them in the fridge or freezer until you’re ready to use them (I love using them first thing in the morning while I drink my matcha to liven me up and get rid of my undereye bags!). Before using, run under room temperature water to remove any frost, let sit out for a few minutes before continuously moving the tools over the skin for 5-10 minutes, not to let sit in one area for too long, using upward and outward motions and finishing down either side of the neck for lymphatic drainage. Always clean and sanitize between uses.

We know how amazing cryo tools feel on the skin (or if you don’t click one of the tools above and try it for yourself to find out!), but who wants to go grab theirs out of the fridge to find the kids have had their messy hands on them? Not me, thanks. That’s where this next favorite accessory comes in… the Esthetics Mini Fridge.
Not only can you store your cryo tools in here, but it’s also great for eye creams, serums, sheet masks, and other skincare or cosmetics.
It’s perfect for your bathroom vanity, and my favorite option below is small, compact, and has a LED-lighted makeup mirror designed onto the front of the door.
