A short YouTube clip by Shereene Idriss where a board-certified dermatologist warns about facial ice burns from face rollers, explains why rubbing frostbitten skin worsens damage, and offers immediate care tips: use a cold spoon or a de-puffer instead of direct ice and consider a baby aspirin if not allergic to aid blood flow.

Stuck to my face and gave me an iceberg.
New fear unlocked. And this is coming from a board certified dermatologist. And that is why I have never understood why people are obsessed with ice and icing and freezers and stuff. Just use a cold spoon or better yet, the de puffer. We'll get into this in a hot second. But what can you do to help your face? Since you already burnt your face, do not rub it. When you guys get a freeze or a frostbite, the last thing you want to do is rub it. Thinking you're increasing blood supply to the area to warm it up, you may be worsening the damage by breaking up your tissue, so don't do that. Also, if you're not allergic to aspirin, you can take a baby aspirin to help with blood flow to the area.
