Review (5/5): So soothing and feel great, reasonable price!
I recently had a facial and they used a sheet mask and used face globes on top of the sheet mask for a massage. It felt so amazing as soon as I returned home I decided I was on the hunt for a pair for myself. I am sure they used a more expensive pair as a professional place, but I wanted something cheap. I searched and saw lots of reviews for glass globes that broke or shattered, which seems scary to me. That is why I decided to go with a metal pair and ordered these.
FIRST IMPRESSIONS
These come in a nice little box but there is no case for them other than that. I do wish they came with a little storage case so I could place it all in the fridge and keep them clean, but I just threw them in a sandwich bag and it will work just fine. I placed them in the fridge (I have no desire to use them in the freezer as I think that would be too cold for comfort). There is a warning on the package that says not to leave them in the "fridge" for more than 20 min, but I think they meant to say "freezer" so that they don't burst or something from freezing. I have had mine in the fridge since I got them and other than the time I used them so far, they have stayed in there and they are fine. I washed them with a little soap when they first arrived just to make sure they were clean before applying anywhere near my face, but they appeared to be clean right out of the box.
PERFORMANCE
I removed them from the fridge and used them on my sheet mask for about 25 minutes and they remained nice and chilly. I am sure you can use them to apply serums or lotions but I don't think I would enjoy direct contact with the metal even at room temperature, not sure why but maybe I'll try it in the future. The feeling when running them over the sheet mask on your face though... so relaxing! I do wish they were a bit smaller, because the larger size makes it basically impossible to run them across my undereye area which I think would be so nice. The rubber pads are nice and keep them comfortable to hold.
OVERALL
Overall I am very pleased with this purchase and would recommend these particular face globes for several reasons. They stay cold for a long time, they are low cost, and they feel safe being that they are metal.
