We’re always looking for at-home stress reduction and skincare tools, and ice globes are a calming way to give your face a little cooling massage with skincare benefits. You’ve probably noticed these facial tools popping up all over social media, including TikTok and Instagram. We chatted with Dina Mustedanagic (an emergency room provider and med spa owner) and her brother, Dennis Mustedanagic (a general and aesthetic dentist), founders of Faceé, to learn more about the trending skincare tool. 

After spending years in the healthcare field, this brother-sister duo realized that many of their patients were stressed, busy, and struggling to find time for self-care. Seeing this trend, Dina and Denis both realized that they wanted to assist patients in their respective professions, while also helping people practice self-care outside those settings. 

 What are some of the benefits of ice globes?

Ice globes provide a myriad of benefits including tightening and toning the skin, reducing pore size, oxygenating the skin, reducing puffiness and redness, relieving pain from headaches, tension and sinus pressure, and stimulating blood flow and lymphatic drainage.

 Can you share how to use ice globes?

To use, place in the fridge or a bowl of ice for 20 minutes prior to use or in the freezer for 30 minutes to one hour before use. (They can also be left in the fridge overnight for use the following day.)

After cleansing your face, apply your favorite serum, moisturizer or hydrating face mask (this prevents tugging your skin) .

Use uplifting motions with medium pressure (soft pressure around eyes) for skin lifting and down motions to encourage lymphatic drainage and circulation. 

Repeat each movement 3-5 times for 10-15 minutes morning and evening.
