SKIN ICING: HOW THIS CHILLY FACIAL BENEFITS YOUR SKIN

Not every skincare tool needs to be pricey or complex. In fact, the secret to improving your complexion may already be hiding in your freezer.

Skin’s reaction to cold temperatures prompts a few physiological systems that benefit your complexion. Whether you use a chilled facial massager, refrigerated products, or a simple ice cube, cold therapy can help reduce puffiness, calm reactive skin, and more.

#5 reason and benefits why you should use cold therapy

#1 It can make you glow instantly

Icing constricts your blood vessels and soothes inflammation. This visibly reduced tiredness on your face, improves blood flow, and brightens your complexion and thus, the skin gains instant glow.

#2 It can reduce puffiness around the eyes

Applying ice on your face regularly reduces swelling by shrinking dilated blood vessels. Thus, it is helpful in getting rid of puffy under eyes.

#3 Shrinks the appearance of pores

Although it's only temporary, pores contract along with the blood vessels when they are exposed to cold temps.

#4 Decreases redness

Redness is caused by irritation or increased skin temperature. Cold therapy calms and cools, reducing vasodilation (the widening of blood vessels).

#5 It can increase product absorption

Rubbing ice before applying your skincare products can help the products, you’re using to reach the deeper layers of the skin and absorb better.

Facial skin icing is very popular. Although not supported by clinical research, there’s anecdotal evidence that it could be helpful for several conditions, such as acne and puffy eyes. Many proponents of the practice suggest making ice cubes with different ingredients, like aloe or green tea, to address specific skin care needs.
