From UV rays to pollution, it's always a struggle to keep our skin looking good and  fresh. The Skin Icing Trend isn't new but since last year ice therapy has created a hype on social media. Celebrities, aestheticians, MUA artists, beauty bloggers, influencers almost everyone has included this step in their beauty routine. There are also some special spa services that provide with exclusive ice facial treatments.

Do facial ice cubes work? Are ice facials any good? Are they worth the hype? Let's get into the details.

Acne,Pimples and Rashes

A couple of years back I had a terrible breakout. The acnes were  just not on my face, but also my chest and back. Sometimes they would itch and my skin was one hell of a bumpy surface. I was terrified to apply anything on my face. Every night I applied ice all over including my chest and back. I did it mainly because ice reduced the redness and itchiness. The bumps seemed less noticeable. And since ice has numbing effects, it reduces the pain of cystic acne. A gentle ice massage really soothes the skin.

Diminishes Signs of Ageing

Ice cube can work as an anti-aging tool. As you massage ice, it shrinks the appearance of open pores and tightens the skin. As a result, fine lines and wrinkles can also be prevented. That's why a lot of celebrities massage ice on a daily basis. Your skin remains youthful and glowing over time. 

Better Product Absorption

Massaging ice before or after applying your favorite moisturizer or serum helps your skin to absorb the product better. The cold ice creates a pulling effect on the skin. The skin feels super smooth.

Puffy Eyes

Who likes those eye bags after a good sleep? A "cold compress" on both eyes depuffs the bags instantly! A couple of minutes work fine with me. You can apply them according to your tolerance limit.

Sunburn and Heat Rashes

For the summer skin, ice massage is the ultimate savior. Apply before going out or after coming home, makes all the redness and rashes go away like magic.

Beauty Ice Facial Tools

There are a lot of facial ice cubes in the market. These cubes make the whole process of facial ice massage a lot less messy, easy and comfortable. You will get a whole range of them in online stores as well. I bought one from Amazon- Liya's Ice Cube. Their magic cube comes with 14 benefits and a lot of customized recipes. I have combination skin and some recipes did come in handy. The cube saves up a lot of work and time. Just bring the cube out of the freezer and apply it! I start from my under eyes and glide the cube towards my cheekbones in an upward direction. Gives me a natural face lift.
