Big Beauty? Don’t know them. Today, we’re talking TikTok trends, salad bowls and one curious teen who sparked what would become the coolest skin care breakthrough in recent memory. Literally. The slam dunk can be credited to Face Dunk – an Aussie-engineered game changer that takes the ancient ritual of ice therapy and gives it a slick, science-led upgrade to deliver the ultimate at home cryo Facial.
Although many may aspire to the A-list life, plunging your face into a mixing bowl of melting ice was never the most glamorous way to get your glow on. And while, celebrities from Kate Moss to Hailey Bieber have sworn by ice therapy for decades, the DIY method has long come with a side of spills, squeals and skin shock. Direct contact with ice? Not great. Uneven temperatures and potential capillary damage? Definitely not part of the skin care goals. But with Face Dunk, the chill factor is no longer a hazard – it’s high-performance skincare.
The star of the show is a patented, double-wall insulated, splash-proof bowl that looks like it belongs in Nonna’s kitchen. Ergonomically angled to cradle every face shape in a temperature-controlled embrace, it’s the anti-salad sald bowl. Forget tucking into tabbouli. This bowl was born to glow. It delivers the perfect water-to-ice ratio with none of the mess, discomfort or risk. Because beauty shouldn’t involve a minor case of frost bite.
And, because no modern ritual is complete without an app, Face Dunk has one of those too. The Face Dunk Coach App brings a little spa to your smart phone, offering mood lighting, guided timing, and ambient soundscapes to turn your frozen face-plunge into a full blown wellness moment. You simply place your phone under the bowl and let the tech lead the tempo. It’s like meditation meets rejuvenation – with a side of pore perfection.
But, it’s not just cool tech – it’s smart skin care. After over 18 months of development and more than 50 prototypes, the father-duaghter-duo creators of Face Dunk engineered it with precision to elevate facial cryotherapy from a messy kitchen hack to a clinical-level ritual. And, just when you think the plunge couldn’t get any smarter, the Glow Drops – a trio of ice-activated elixirs formulated with everything from hydrolysed hyaluronic acid to Tasmanian kelp and collagen boosting peptides.
These aren’t your average serums. Each Glow Drop formula – Hydrating, Brightening, and Collagen – is cryo-compatible, meaning they’re designed to only be activated with cold water and ice, releasing their skin-loving benefits with every chill-inducing dunk. The result is a skin reset that tightens pores, calms inflammation, and leaves you looking so radiant, you could fool almost anyone into believing you’ve been getting your daily dose of greens!
Need more than a quick chill? Go PRO. The OG Kit ($149) kickstarts your routine with hydrating Glow Drops and all the high-spec trimmings: the bowl, ice tray, headband, sponge, and travel bag. But, the PRO Kit ($249) is where things really freeze over – featuring all three Glow Drops, double ice trays for AM and PM dunking, and enough bells and whistles to make your skin care shelf look like a NASA lab.
Behind it all is Ian Roche – an Ironman athlete and entrepreneur who turned his daughter Isla’s viral beauty obsession into a fully-fledged skin care revolution. Today, a once-messy bowl of ice cubes has transformed into a wellness-tech hybrid that’s already winning fans (and faces) across the globe.
In a world of overhyped skin care fads, Face Dunk doesn’t just dip a toe – it dives head first into innovation. Whether you’re battling puffiness, seeking a serious glow-up or just want an excuse to dramatically dunk your face each morning, this tech-powered ritual brings the chill in the best way.
