Oh Gel Yes

First of all, just to get this out of the way…the only thing that’s more unsettling than seeing this on someone’s face is seeing it not on someone’s face. If it’s on a face it makes the wearer look like a low-budget superhero. If it’s not on a face it looks like something that might be peeking in your window during an unsettling nightmare.

But hey, none of that matters. Because sometimes health and beauty are a matter of unrepentant practicality and this is one of those times. These face masks (we’re going to send you four, by the way), can be used to either cool or heat your face, depending on what you need on a given day. All you have to do is throw one in the freezer if you want it cold or pop one in the microwave if you want it hot.

There’s a sturdy and highly adjustable strap to hold the thing on your face (speaking of unrepentant practicality) and the little gel beads will perfectly arrange themselves along the contours of your face.

The result is a spa-like experience that’s soothing, rejuvenating, and can even reduce swelling or help with headaches.

By the way, since we’re sending you four there’s no reason you couldn’t have a little spa day party with some friends, but the thought of four people wearing these in the same place at the same time honestly feels like a little much.

Your call, though. Four bucks a piece!
