WOULD YOU EVER…TRY A ‘FROZEN’ FACE MASK?

The season’s heat and humidity can cause the face to swell and look 5 pounds heavier. Enter TheraPearl Cooling Face Mask ($18, HSAStore. com). After storing in the freezer, its frozen flexible gel is said to mold to the contours of the face to reduce puffiness, stat. Sounds refreshing on a hot day, but can it really take the “weight” off? Our consensus:

“The chill felt nice and not over the top, and I definitely noticed my face was less puffy afterward. It also helped soothe the pain and diminish the redness from a minor sunburn!”

“This was a simple way to instantly alleviate the swelling in my under-eyes and cheeks. The only downside is that the mask easily slides around, so I had to lie down while using it.”
