Reduction of redness, pores and eye bags are some of the benefits pointed out by the specialist.
You’ve heard that all you have to do to alleviate eye bags is a sachet of iced chamomile tea, right? Despite the calming properties of chamomile, the low temperature to which the sachet is subjected also has positive effects on the skin and this is the idea when we talk about skin icing. This technique is characterized by the use of water, ice and other cold tools to reduce swelling, redness and pore size.

What are the benefits of skin icing?
Low temperatures improve blood circulation, as they make the vessels contract, which helps reduce inflammation and redness of the dermis, as well as reducing pores, oiliness and swelling.
And what are the downsides?
Despite being indicated for all skin types, people who have the most sensitive skin may experience discomfort when performing the technique. Also, you need to be careful when applying ice to your face, as they can cause burns. But applying ice to the skin will not treat the problem. It’s not even guaranteed to minimize pore size.
How to adhere to the technique?
Sporadically, if you have a party and it’s very hot, then you can use the crushed ice in a cotton bag and freeze it a little, to retract the skin. Cold tools, such as a roller and gua sha, can be used to massage your face while you apply your cosmetics. Another way to bet on this trend is to put your cosmetics in the fridge so that they are also more refreshing, but you need to understand if your formulas allow for this cooling, so that you don’t run the risk of spoiling your products.
