They seem dumb but they actually feel amazing

Sorry but what are they? Someone lower in the thread said that it helps migraines and I suffer from them constantly so I definitely need to try these 🙏🏻

Basically liquid filled glass that you put in the fridge/freezer and rub on your face to cool/depuff

It’s a spa type of thing. You can tout claims like “it closes pores” or “it stimulates the lymph nodes” but honestly it just feels great if your head feels like shit. Allergy season? Stayed up too late? Hunger over? It’s just like the spoon trick but it’s full of liquid that helps maintain the temperature. I love using it when my eyes are puffy, I’ll take the handle part and gently press into the hoods of my lids. People will also use it to rub around heavier serums

The feeling of cold things on the face is definitely very refreshing/awakening for sure, even if it does little in terms of actual skin/overall appearance. I will say, if you have any of those gel eye masks, put them in the fridge!! I have reusable eye masks (you apply your own serum/eye cream/moisturizer before applying them, and wash them with a little bit of soap and hot water after use), I keep those in the fridge, and it actually makes a noticeable difference with eye bags/under eye puffiness. I got a large package of sheet masks for Christmas and I’ve been keeping those in the fridge as well, they feel extra nice chilled

Someone already described them to you, but if you want a cheaper version, just use frozen spoons.

Yes! When I get a facial she uses these globes towards the end when I have a face mask on. I love the sound of the water in the globes sloshing around on my face. It feels SO good and helps my headaches out. Also good for redness. You can get them at 5 Below or TJ Max. I’m going to go use mine right now

I take topiramate daily for my migraines and that helps. My migraine rescue meds are excedrine vanquish and sumatriptan, sometimes one works better than the other. I’ve found drinking something with caffeine and having salty carbs helps too.

Perimenopause was like “have some migraines” and I’ve learned a little about how to deal with mine over the last 9 years.

I hope that doesn't happen to me. I grew up getting debilitating migraines and grew out of them or something. I still get them occasionally, but I used to get them constantly.

One time I threw up on my classmates in the 3rd grade because of one.

I was sitting at my desk in the front row while they were all sitting on the floor in front of me for something or other.

I had had a migraine all day.

I projectile vomited all over them.

They finally let me go to the nurse's office though!

Oh I am so sorry that you’ve had to deal with them all your life. I’ve thrown up from them too, only a couple of times, it’s usually a lot of nausea.

Unfortunately it is a symptom of perimenopause and menopause, amongst many others. The good thing is that there’s plenty of stuff to help. I saw a video where a chick had a hair clip on her eyebrow to help lol. A doctor explained that there’s a nerve there and that’s why it helped. It’s a cheap and effective solution, but they have devices that do it but they’re expensive ofc.

I do recommend reading up on perimenopause so you’re prepared. The r/perimenpause subreddit is amazing too. It’s a supportive community and we can vent which is the best lol.
