Summer Ice Facial : How-To
I’m about to let you in on my little secret for flawless summer skin….I call it the Ice Facial. It’s refreshing, wakes you up in the morning, and is something you can do daily just about anywhere… Oh and it’s FREE! Indulge in one of my favorite treatments that anyone can do anywhere, at home, in the van or rv, or even in a hotel. All you need is an ice cube and a hand towel.
Ice Facial Benefits:
smaller looking pores
reduced oil production
reduced puffiness around eyes and face
increased product absorption
best way to prime skin for all day makeup wear
all day fresh glow to the skin
Who is it good for?
This is good for all skin types (dry, oily, combination, and normal) and skin conditions (aging, dehydrated, hyperpigmentation, sensitive, and especially those with acne and blemishes).
How To Perform the Ice Facial:
take 1 large ice cube and apply directly to face over the sink to catch the water drips
move in quick circular motions over chin, cheeks, nose, and forehead
if you suffer from puffy eyes, use gentle sweeping motions under the eye, and around the brow bone to wake-up the eyes and drain the lymphatic fluid that has settled under the eye at night.
keep the ice moving constantly and continue until the ice cube has completely melted.
follow with your favorite toner, serum, eye cream, moisturizer, and spf.
Your skin will feel cool and firm to the touch. This is when I love putting on my makeup because my skin was perfectly prepped with the ice cube and primed with my skincare. In some cases, the cold from the ice can bring up a little redness in the skin, but that should disappear within minutes.
Well there you have it, my tip for flawless summer skin! I do it every morning during the summer, and I hope you join me. Let me know how YOU like it in the comments below!
