Extend Youth: Cosmetic Ice

On today’s date, practically all beauty salons offer cryo-procedures for skin rejuvenation.

However, with just a little effort, such a procedure can also be done at home. You will always look wonderful without frequent visits to the beauty salon.

Facial skin is subjected to daily external influences and stress more than other parts of the body. In summer, there is bright sunlight, hot air, and air conditioners are working indoors. In winter, cold air and low temperatures lead to blood vessels constricting, while heating devices dry out the skin. All this results in an unhealthy complexion and puffiness, and fine lines become more noticeable.

Ice can be a helper in the home “cosmetic bag.” Cosmetic ice is sold in pharmacies, but making it yourself at home is very simple; you only need to buy various herbal sets at the pharmacy.

What is the charm of cosmetic ice? First of all, it affects blood vessels—they constrict. After the procedure, when the skin returns to its normal temperature, the vessels expand. This “gymnastics” improves blood microcirculation and delivers more nutrients to the face, which enhances skin tone, smooths out fine lines, and tightens pores.

Preparing cosmetic ice is as easy as pie.

If you brew medicinal herbs, such as chamomile, mint, linden, or succession, steep them and freeze them in ice molds, you’ll get cleansing ice.

By mixing cucumber or lemon juice with water, you get whitening and toning ice.

For problem skin, dissolve sea salt in water and freeze.

Always perform facial procedures using movements along the massage lines—this way, the skin doesn’t stretch, and the effect of the procedure is more noticeable.

Cosmetic ice can be used in the morning and evening, but only after cleansing. It is not recommended to wipe the face dry with a towel or napkin after using the ice—the healing water should dry on its own.

However, this seemingly simple procedure also has contraindications. It is not recommended to use cosmetic ice just before going outside in winter. Ice is also contraindicated for inflamed facial skin, those with sinusitis, fever, or malaise.
