Skinny Confidential Hot Mess Ice Roller ($69)
I can only imagine what my ancestors would think if they saw me buy a $69 roller that I store in my freezer that produces FREE ICE. Good thing I'll never know! Ice rollers have been a round for a while and had a particular hey day during the pan. I bought a $10 roller on Amazon and it worked great. But just like most tools, my routine slipped away and the roller found its way in the garage freezer where a bag of popsicles exploded on it. (RIP) I'm not sure what possessed me to buy an ice roller again, but here we are.
The Skinny Confidential brand is run by influencer, Lauryn Bosstick. I had heard of Lauryn in the past, but she wasn't on my radar until I realized that she and her husband owned Dear Media. After this I started following her and lurking, as one does. Lauryn knows branding and her SC products and marketing put me in a trance. On Prime Day I succumbed to her spell.Â
This ice roller is a heavy duty plastic and silicone handle with an aluminum roller. It's about the size of my hand and HEAVY. The first time I used it my arm actually got tired 😅 The product feels more high end than the $10 rollers, as it should for almost $70! The old roller I had came with a plastic head with what looked like frozen beads inside. The aluminum compared to the plastic was obvious to me. It rolled much more smoothly and didn't leave my skin wet by the end.Â
Much cheaper rollers are incredibly light and I'm not sure if the heaviness of the roller aids in facial massage or not, but it certainly makes you feel like you're using something fancy and you know I love a mundane fancy item.Â
Overall, I love it. It wakes me up and when I had a weird jaw spasm last week, the ice roller helped soothe it quickly. If you have TMJ, I think you'd love this. Some reviews say it stays cold for so long, but it stays cold for the amount of time you need it to and that's all I'm asking for. Do you need a $69 or even $10 ice roller? ABSOLUTELY NOT. Your hand and an ice cube will give you the same results, just messier. But here in 2024 we love the "high maintenance to be low maintenance" routine and I fully approve this splurge.Â
