From luxury spas to TikTok skincare routines, ice globes have become one of the most talked-about beauty tools in recent years. But what exactly are they, and how can you use them for the best results? In this guide, we’ll break down everything you need to know — from what ice globes do to how to incorporate them into your daily routine — with expert tips along the way.
What Are Ice Globes?
Ice globes are handheld facial tools, usually made from glass or stainless steel, filled with a special liquid that stays cold for an extended period. When applied to the skin, they offer a form of cold therapy, which can:
-
Reduce puffiness
-
Tighten the appearance of pores
-
Calm redness or irritation
-
Boost circulation for a healthy glow
Satavi Naturals ice globes are made from durable borosilicate glass, filled with a safe, anti-freeze liquid, and feature a touch of sparkle for that elevated spa feel.
The Benefits of Using Ice Globes
Cold therapy and facial massage work hand-in-hand to refresh and rejuvenate skin. With consistent use, ice globes can help:
-
Reduce morning puffiness
-
Soothe irritation
-
Create a smoother-looking complexion
-
Improve the absorption of skincare products
