Benefits of Ice for our SkinFor better or worse, your face is the first thing the world notices

about you.
It’s for this reason that I invest so much (too much!) time ensuring I look my best by making use of
expensive skin care products. I always thought this was a wise investment, but I have recently
discovered a method that’s even better, easier and cheaper: cryotherapy.

Not only is cryo or ice therapy relaxing and therapeutic it will also improve your skin by rejuvenating
it and making it look healthy and radiant again. Whether you opt for green tea, cucumber or other
novel cubes, all you really need for cryotherapy is plenty of ice.
Important Information About Ice Therapy:

Make sure your face is clean before beginning.

• Always wear gloves when holding ice cubes, in order to protect your hands.
• Never let ice make direct contact with your skin. Avoid this by covering the ice with either a soft
cloth or plastic bag.
• Do not apply any ice packs to your body for longer than 1 hour, otherwise you are at risk of skin
burns.
• You can gain even more skin benefits by making cucumber, green tea, horsetail tea or garlic ice
cubes.

The following 6 tips will work best when combined with both regular exercise and a good,
healthy diet:

1. Make Your Skin Smoother

Try this simple tip in the evenings or before you go to sleep: after washing your face, fill up a plastic
bag with some ice, then use it to massage your face and neck for approximately three minutes
2. Banish Acne
Ice therapy is a terrific method for clearing your skin of acne. To do this, first wash your face as
normal. Then wrap one ice cube up in a napkin or soft cloth. Press this gently against your spot or
troubled area for between three and five minutes. You’ll be stunned by the results.

3. Prevent and Reduce Wrinkles

Massage your face daily, perhaps before applying makeup, for around one minute to improve blood
circulation to your facial skin. The increased circulation is known to prevent premature aging and
wrinkling.

4. Shrink Open Pores

If your pores are too opened out, try this ice therapy method. Simply rub a covered ice cube onto
your face for two to three minutes. If you repeat this daily, you should notice your pores shrinking
after a few days have passed.

5. Get Rid of Puffy Eyes

To banish the tell-tale effects of this wrap 2 ice cubes in cloth pieces and place them over your
closed eyes. Now carefully massage the inflammations for two minutes, making slow, circular
motions.
6. Fight Stomach Fat
Put an ice pack onto your stomach for 15 minutes, then take it away for three minutes. Repeat this for
up to an hour (remembering that an hour is the upper limit).

Cryotherapy-the use of extreme cold in surgery or other medical treatment.

Puffy Eyes-Ordinary swelling around the eyes means you have an excessive accumulation of
