Ice rollers for your face --- or any face rollers (i.e. jade rollers), frankly --- are all the rage in the skin-care space these days. Their claim to fame is simple: Just roll them across your face for an instant solution to at least look less exhausted. Essentially, they give off a de-puffed and lifted effect.

It sounds pretty amazing, but are the skin-care results legit? The short answer from derms is yes. "Face rollers stimulate the lymphatic system and massage the face, helping to get rid of puffiness, toxins, and reduce muscle tension," explains Stacy Chimento, M.D., a dermatologist at Riverchase Dermatology in Miami. Essentially, this massaging action helps to flush out excess fluid, which is what results in a temporary contouring effect, she adds.

And you get some extra benefits when your face roller of choice is cold. "The cooling action constricts blood vessels, which leaves skin looking tighter and temporary decreasing redness, making for an overall fresher and brighter appearance," says Rachel Nazarian, M.D., a dermatologist with Schweiger Dermatology Group in New York City. (FYI, while ice rollers are great in this case, almost any face roller can be stored in the fridge to achieve a similar effect.) And on top of all of that, face rolling mostly just feels good, making it an enjoyable step in your skin-care routine.
