Face Dunk's advanced ice facial

The celebrity-fuelled ice facial trend continues to dominate – from Hailey Bieber's viral Met Gala prep to Bella Hadid, Jennifer Aniston, Kate Moss and the Kardashians, everyone loves a celeb-backed glow-inducing beauty secret. But until now, it's been a DIY mess of salad bowls and spills, with no science-led water-to-ice ratio – in a bowl built to deliver lettuce, not luminosity.

Face Dunk is a world-first Australian innovation that reimagines facial cryotherapy into a design-led and science-backed advanced ice facial – precision-engineered for comfort, results and real-world repeat use. It's the first system to bring precision to the plunge by delivering glow without the guesswork.

The patented Face Dunk Bowl features a splash-proof, double-wall insulated design that is ergonomically angled to cradle every face shape while delivering the perfect water-to-ice ratio for skin-safe controlled cooling. Purpose-engineered over 18-months with 50+ prototypes, the Face Dunk Bowl eliminates mess, removes discomfort and risks of direct skin-to-ice contact while amplifying the celebrated benefits of facial cryotherapy – from de-puffing, calming irritation, tightening pores and energising skin. Paired with Face Dunk's ice-activated Glow Drops and the mindful Face Dunk Coach App, the system turns age-old cryotherapy into a luxurious results-driven ritual that modernises cold therapy for a new era.  

• Cryo-Cool Glow Drops: Unlike conventional serums, Face Dunk Glow Drops are scientifically-developed for activation through water and ice. The cryo-compatible collection combines barrier-supportive ingredients with cold-triggered absorption. The collection includes the Hydrating Glow Drops (30ml), Brightening Glow Drops (30ml) and Collagen Boost Glow Drops (30ml). 
• The OG  and PRO Facial Kits: Both feature the patented Face Dunk bowl, custom-engineered Ice Tray for the perfect skin-safe water-to-ice ratio, a plush Bamboo Velour Headband, Antibacterial Bamboo Sponge for gentle cleansing and a Satin Storage Travel Bag. The OG Kit ($149) includes the 15ml Hydrating Gow Drops; The PRO Kit ($249) features all three Glow Drops. 
• Smart Ritual. Full Reset. The Face Dunk Coach App: Placing your smart phone under the Face Dunk bowl extends the experience with calming soundscapes, mood lighting and timed intervals – transforming every dunk into a mindful and immersive self-care ritual.  

Already popular in the US, this Australian innovation has enjoyed success and high-profile orders since its December 2024 launch. I have attached a media guide with further information on skincare's coldest breakthrough.
