Facial Icing, also known as cryotherapy, is a beauty technique that dates back centuries and has been employed by a multitude of cultures around the world for various reasons.
Ancient Egyptians used it to soothe their skin, help cool inflammation and Chinese practitioners have relied on ice for centuries, claiming it increased their overall longevity.
In Japan, however, facial icing took on a different purpose – the cold helped women contour and tighten delicate facial skin whilst reducing the appearance of pores.
The demand grew in such countries leading modern beauty gurus to embrace this ancient technique recently catapulting facial icings into spotlight of mainstream trends.
It seems that with its growing popularity so too has increased access to information on facial icing’s one-of-a kind benefits proved effective and safe to use over multiple applications.
Whether you’re looking to keep cool in harsh temperatures or trying to manifest pore less skin year-round – incorporating icing your face might be the answer!
Here’s how to do it:
You can repeat this process as often as you’d like, but be sure to take breaks between sessions to avoid irritating your skin. It’s also a good idea to use a moisturizer or facial oil after icing to keep your skin hydrated.
One of the main benefits of facial icing is its ability to reduce inflammation. Inflammation is a common cause of skin redness, puffiness, and irritation, and cold therapy can help to reduce these symptoms.
When the skin is exposed to cold temperatures, blood vessels constrict, reducing blood flow to the skin and reducing the appearance of redness and puffiness.
This can be particularly beneficial for those with sensitive skin, as it can help to soothe irritation and prevent further inflammation.
If you’re looking to improve the overall appearance of your skin, facial icing is a great solution. It works by promoting increased blood circulation and lymphatic drainage.
Massage the face with a refrigerated jade roller or other cold object to naturally stimulate blood flow and give your natural complexion a healthy glow.
It can even out skin tone and reduce under eye bags for a more confident and radiant look!
Incorporating facial icing into your routine not only reduces undesirable signs of aging, it promotes good skincare habits too.
Are the bags and dark circles under your eyes making you feel worn down? Give yourself a pampering session by taking advantage of facial icing!
By dropping the temperature on your skin, you can help reduce blood flow to the area, allowing your face to look more awake and refreshed.
Not only does facial icing shrink or even erase puffiness and dark under eye circles, but it also helps give your face that youthfully vibrant appearance too.
So go ahead and indulge in ice for at least 10 minutes a day; cruelty free pampering that’s good for your complexion and perfect for those beauty goals of yours!
Facial icing could be the remedy you need if you suffer from acne or other inflammatory skin conditions.
Combat inflamed, irritated skin and stop any further breakouts by giving facial icing a try! Ice gently yet firmly over the desired area – this will help reduce inflammation, redness, and soothe your skin in an instant.
Provides a cooling effect
Facial icing can help to cool down the skin after a workout or on a hot day. By providing a cooling effect, it can help to refresh and rejuvenate the skin, leaving it feeling more comfortable and relaxed.
But while facial cooling is certainly beneficial when it comes to acne care, it’s important to understand that it should not sway you from seeing a dermatologist or serving as a primary treatment for severe cases of acne.
Always talk to a dermatologist before relying solely on facial icing!
When it comes to facial icing, there are certain precautions that need to be taken to ensure you don’t damage your skin. It’s important to always exercise gentleness and caution while using cold temperatures on the skin, so experts recommend using a jade roller or wrapping ice cubes in a clean cloth before applying them.
Avoid leaving the cubes on your face for more than a few minutes, as prolonged exposure could potentially be damaging.
Additionally, you should never use facial icing on broken or irritated skin, as this can potentially make the problem worse. Keep these tips in mind when trying out facial icing.
Icing your face may sound intimidating, but it doesn’t have to be a costly beauty treatment! From reducing inflammation and soothing irritation to giving you an overall brighter complexion, face icing can provide some noteworthy benefits with minimal effort.
But before trying this technique, remember that you don’t want to skimp on being gentle.
Be sure to read proper instructions so that everything goes as smoothly as possible. One benefit of icing your face at home is having full control over products and ingredients — for extra safety, it’s definitely worth speaking with a dermatologist about your personal skin type ahead of time.
In truth, incorporating facial icing into your skincare routine could be quite beneficial — if anything, it’s sure worth exploring the possibility!
If you are considering facial icing as a part of your skincare routine, it is important to be aware of potential drawbacks and to use caution when using this technique.
It may be a good idea to consult with a dermatologist to determine if facial icing is right for you and to develop a skincare routine that is tailored to your specific skin concerns.
“As far as I can remember I have always struggled with sensitive skin. The issues culminated in my mid-twenties when I started having rosacea flares and redness. My personal quest for effective, safe solutions took a professional turn, and I was given the opportunity to apply my (Pharma) background in developing a new skin friendly product line. My goal was to create something new, a clinically proven sustainable skincare brand. This science backed probiotic skincare derived technology is a product of years of research and innovation in personal care products. Metabiotics contain naturally produced hyaluronic acid, lactic acid, SMase, lipoteichoic acid, over 40 peptides and enzymes. All assigned with specific tasks for activating the skins native repair mechanisms.”

Today’s trends in skincare require the use of synthetic active ingredients which interact with the skin. Our approach is to distinguish natural alternatives, which mimic the skins native repair mechanism and are more efficient and ecologically sound.
Translating solutions from nature into industrial settings is hardly an easy task, but it’s one we enjoy undertaking.
We have screened 500+ different wild probiotic strains from the nature, to find the most powerful ones.
Special fermentation process was developed to harvest powerful molecules (HA, LTA, SMase, LA and 40 peptides).
Result is the composition of native signal components and molecules that keep the skin balanced, healthy and protected.
