This Summer Try these 5 Ways to Use Ice for Perfect Skin 

From Puffiness to Pores: How Ice Can Transform Your Skin This Season

Because of the intense summer heat your perfect skin may feel irritated, puffy and exhausted. In addition to cooling and refreshing your face, ice has several other advantages that can help address common skin issues so did you know that it might be the secret weapon you need for radiant perfect skin? Here are some ways to use ice in your summertime skincare routine from sunburn relief to pore reduction. 

Ice to Smooth Skin and Tighten Pores

The use of ice is one of the most efficient and quick methods to reduce the visibility of large pores. The cold temperature tightens the skin and makes pores less visible by causing blood vessels to constrict. Just gently massage an ice cube over your face especially on regions like your T-zone where pores are more likely to be larger using a soft cloth wrapped around it to prevent direct contact with your skin. When it comes to preparing your skin for makeup application this will instantly give your face a smooth pore-free appearance. 

Advice- By balancing your skin and reducing pore size applying ice on a regular basis can help manage excessive oil production caused by oily skin. 

Diminish Dark Circles and Puffiness

Dark circles under your eyes and puffiness can result from dehydration late nights and summer heat. Ice can be used as a quick fix for both problems. Applying ice to the sensitive skin surrounding the eyes causes swelling to decrease and blood vessels to constrict reducing puffiness and revitalizing weary eyes. 

Just use an ice pack or wrap an ice cube in a clean cloth and apply it gently to the area under your eyes for one to two minutes. You’ll see a decrease in swelling which will make you appear more alert and renewed. For a more focused treatment you can even apply eye masks or chilled spoons. 

Advice- To benefit from the additional anti-inflammatory and antioxidant qualities of green tea or cucumber juice, freeze it in an ice cube tray and apply the cubes around your eyes for an extra boost. 

Calming Relief from Sunburn

We all enjoy basking in the summer sun but occasionally it can cause irritation and sunburn on our skin. Sunburned skin can be soothed naturally with ice. The cold feeling lessens the pain from sunburn and helps to release heat that has been trapped in your skin. 

Ice cubes should be wrapped in a soft cloth and applied gently to the sunburned areas to relieve it. To chill larger body parts you can also apply an ice pack. This will provide immediate comfort by cooling the skin and assisting in the reduction of redness and inflammation. 

Advice- To prevent aggravating sunburned skin do not apply ice directly to it. Cover it with a cloth or towel at all times. 

Stop Acne Outbreaks

Ice is a great tool for managing acne flare-ups in addition to cooling your skin. Ice can lessen the redness and inflammation of pimples when applied to areas that are prone to acne. It reduces swelling and delays the onset of new breakouts by narrowing blood vessels. Even pain relief can be achieved by applying ice directly to the pimple. 

Using a clean cloth wrap a few ice cubes and gently press them against the acne-affected area for two to three minutes. Cystic acne or irritated areas that require soothing respond best to this method. 

Advice- To further reduce acne, freeze witch hazel or aloe vera gel in an ice tray and apply the cubes to the affected areas. While witch hazel aids in lowering oil production and preventing the formation of new pimples, aloe vera is well-known for its anti-inflammatory qualities.

Your complexion will appear instantly healthier and more radiant with this method. 

Ice cubes are easily applied to your face in gentle circular motions after being wrapped in a cloth to create an ice facial. Work your way outward from the middle of your face paying particular attention to any areas where you might want to smooth or lift the skin. For additional advantages, use the ice cube tray to freeze your favorite face toner, rose water or green tea to boost your skin’s antioxidant content.
