If you’re a skincare lover, you’ve probably heard of ice rollers and jade rollers like quartz and jade rollers. But what about the latest skincare trend – ice globes? These stylish and innovative skincare tools are gaining popularity as an effective home or spa treatment. Ice globe facial massage not only relaxes and soothes the skin, but it also provides many benefits and is easy to incorporate into any skincare routine. In this article, we’ll discuss the different types of ice hockey, their benefits, and how to get a hockey facial massage
What are Ice Globes?
Overall, the puck is fun and great-looking colorful facial massage tool. Depending on the brand, they may also be called Ice globes, cooling globes, cryo globes or cryo bars. Usually, they come in pairs and look like a sphere with a handle.
Similar to ice rolls, ice hockey uses massage therapy and cold therapy, also known as cryotherapy. Simply put, cold therapy is the use of ice, air, liquid nitrogen, etc. to cool the target part of the body. A hockey facial massage is one of the great ways to reduce puffiness, refresh tired skin, soothe inflammation, irritate the skin, and relieve tension or pain.
It’s worth mentioning that these spheres need to be refrigerated ahead of time, which is usually done by placing them in a skincare refrigerator or freezer (depending on what material they’re made of).
Types of Ice Globe
Although most pucks have similar designs, they tend to be made of different materials and filled with different solutions. Generally speaking, most cooling balls fall into the following two categories:
√ Glass/quartz filled with antifreeze or microbeads. These spheres come in a variety of bright colors and look really pretty. However, they tend to be more brittle and if dropped they can break (depending on the material used). Also, some of these face globes are not freezer-safe, and they may crack or crack if exposed to low temperatures. So you have to store them in the refrigerator, which doesn’t make the earth cold like a refrigerator.
√ Stainless steel-filled gel. These cooling balls are more durable and less breakable because they are made of stainless steel. Not only can you store them safely in the refrigerator, but they can also be used for hot or cold massages. If you want to use them for a hot massage, just soak them in a bowl of hot water for 15-20 minutes.
Overall, the materials used to make pucks determine their durability and price. Some less expensive pucks are made of thin glass that is not shatter-resistant, which makes them brittle and easy to break. Also, some cooling balls are not designed to be frozen, and if you leave or forget them in the freezer, they may break.
However, there are also a few models of hockey pucks that are made of high-quality antifreeze glass or quartz and filled with antifreeze, which makes them more durable, but also more expensive.
