19. A refreshing ice roller whose cooling and calming effects can help lower your body temp — plus they're great for reducing puffiness when you wake up in the morning.
"I'm obsessed with my ice roller. It's great for cooling down when it feels like a sauna outside, it helps wake me up in the morning, and it saves me when I have a migraine. Unlike jade and quartz rollers, the roll-y part is made of gel, so when you pop it in the freezer it actually gets cold and stays cold for a loooooong time.It's also a lot larger than those doodads, so you can cover larger parts of your body, like your thighs and stomach (not just your under-eye area)." —Alice Prendergast
