After decades of struggling to build the perfect morning routine, I’ve finally found it: Brush my teeth, chug water, and then massage my face with a cold ice roller until I get bored. It’s the best part of my skin care routine and is key when it comes to de-puffing my face and generally waking me up in the morning.

There’s no fancy skin care secret here when it comes to ice rolling! Per the National Institue of Health, ice is proven to ease pain by temporarily reducing nerve activity and will decrease any swelling by reducing blood flow. Using an ice roller is basically the same concept as grabbing an ice pack to stop an injury from swelling, just chicer and more fun.

While experts agree that there needs to be some more clinical research done on the topic, ice rolling is known to eliminate any puffiness, ease acne swelling and pain, decrease fluid buildup, reduce signs of aging and generally boost the skin. You can use it all over your face, eye area, neck and basically everywhere else on your body for a chill experience.

OK, cool. Now that that’s settled, scroll below for some of the best ice rollers you can shop. Just take it out of the freezer and go all Rolie Polie Olie on your face for the best skin of your life.

Kitsch has some of the best beauty tools and accessories out there, including this ice roller. With an ergonomic handle and a head made of high-quality surgical stainless steel, this guy is so easy to use. Just pop it in the freezer and massage it all over your face. The stainless steel rolling head means it stays extra cool for an extra long time.

Here she is: The ice roller that you’ve seen all over Instagram, TikTok and Euphoria (IYKYK). There’s a reason why it’s so beloved. It’s affordable and simple — what more do you need?

Unlike traditional ice rollers, this unique one comes with a dual-sided roller. Use the V-shaped head on your jawline, eyes, nose and other smaller areas. Then just flip it over to use the W-shaped head on larger areas like your cheeks, neck, legs, shoulders and pretty much everywhere else.

Developed by aesthetician Kerry Benjamin, this award-winning stainless steel cryo roller is designed to soothe sensitive skin, reduce itchiness and fight inflammation. The unique egg shape rolling barrel provides better cooling reflexology and lymphatic drainage than other rollers for a more contoured look.

What’s cool about this ice roller is that it’s literal ice that you can customize. Freeze some water and cucumber for any swelling and redness, green tea for inflammation or rose petals for icy rosewater.

Just make sure to do your research before putting random things in the mold (like lemon and other citrus fruits) that can damage and irritate your skin. The American Academy of Dermatology is a great place to start! Or just consult your trusty dermatologist.

This one is the same idea but with two key differences. First, the mold is contoured for a more precise de-puffing experience. Second, the outside of the silicone mold can be used for cleaning makeup brushes.

This set features an ice roller, gua shua and jade roller for under $10. So, uh, yeah, it’s great.

We love an ice roller that comes with an extra head and a case!

I mean, $3.99 is a great deal.

Full disclosure — I’ve owned this ice roller for years and am obsessed with it. The head is big enough to cover various parts of my face and body while being easy enough to maneuver to hit the harder-to-reach spots. The soft gel head freezes quickly and evenly in about 10 minutes.

Similar to classic ice rollers, this one features an indented shape to better fit the contours of your face, cheeks, jawline, nose and more.
