Using a cold facial roller along your temples
Tip from @brainfogdaily_lr on Lemon8. · Read the original post
@brainfogdaily_lr found comfort during an attack by gliding a silicone skincare ice roller along their temples, treating the sensation like a calming facial routine. The combination of cold temperature and gentle rolling pressure helps soothe temporal tension. If you do not have an ice roller, you can achieve a similar effect with a chilled spoon or a cloth-wrapped ice cube, or simply use cool fingertips.
What you'll need
You only need one of these — not all of them.
The original tip uses
Silicone ice roller
Chilled spoon
Ice cube wrapped in a thin cloth
Cool fingertips — no tool needed
Good to know
Chill the roller in the fridge rather than the freezer — freezing cold on the temples can set off sharp cold pain. Roll with feather-light pressure, and if your temples are tender to touch during an attack, hover just above the skin or stop.
