Tighten skin.
There are two ways you can do this: the relaxing way and the way that requires you to dunk your face into an ice bath. Taking a plunge into a sink filled with ice cold water is not for the faint of heart, but it is going to tighten your skin and pores. In just a few seconds, the cold works to constrict blood flow, doing a number on enlarged pores and fine lines. If the ice bath approach sounds a little too intense for you, don’t worry—you can still reap the icy benefits with one single cube. Just run an ice cube across your face—focusing on problem areas—to instantly perk up your complexion.
De-puff eyes.
While we love our caffeinated eye gels, when tired eyes need a real wake up call, we raid the freezer. Just wrap two cubes (one for each eye) in a washcloth or paper towel and hold them to your eyes for up to 10 minutes. You’ll reduce the morning puffiness—plus, you’re guaranteed to come away from your frosty treatment feeling bright-eyed and ready to face the day.
Calm breakouts.
We’ve all had those moments when we just could not resist the urge to pick. The result is a big, raised, red zit. To quickly calm the inflammation, ice it. In about five minutes, the cool temp will bring down the swelling and even out some of the redness.
Get glowy skin.
When your makeup needs a refresh, just reach for an ice cube. A quick pass with the frozen beautifier will leave your skin with a dewy glow. It’s an instant pick-me-up to revive an hours-old makeup application.
