Cryotherapy

By jen baxter

What’s a cryo facial?

Your skin is sacred. So experiencing a cryotherapy facial isn’t just about cleansing and toning. It’s about increasing the blood flow in your face to tighten and brighten your complexion. This innovative cold facial involves having liquid nitrogen (aka dry ice) pumped on your face for 2 to 3 minutes. The result leaves your skin with a dewy, youthful glow. It boosts cell rejuvenation and collagen — which are key to your skin remaining elastic and supple for longer. And it can reduce pigmentation and inflammation to help your skin look radiant.

And here’s a skincare secret used by some of the top celebrity makeup artists in the world... You can get similar results with a home care remedy called skin icing. It’s the practice of gently massaging your face with ice cubes, like giving yourself a “mini-facial”. This clean, natural remedy helps maintain healthy, glowing skin. It reduces inflammation and improves blood circulation. It’s a tried and true technique used by top makeup artists like Lisa Eldridge, celebrities like Kate Moss and world-class spas. Even the Mayo Clinic suggests evidence that applying a cold compress with mild pressure for a few minutes, around your eyes, will reduce puffiness. This little secret weapon helps refresh and brighten tired lackluster skin in just a few minutes. Make it a regular part of your skincare routine, and you’ll notice a difference in the firmness and smoothness of your complexion.

The home remedy to tighten
and brighten

Regular home ice facials are used by professionals who value natural, clean skincare. They consistently rely on this method because they’ve experienced benefits like:

+ Improving blood circulation

+ Soothing tired, puffy eyes

+ Boosting the skins healthy glow

+ Reducing pores on the face

+ Firming the face before applying makeup

+ Soothing acne

The ice constricts the blood vessels and contracts the muscles, which improves blood circulation and reduces pores on the face. This helps fatigued faces experience a stimulating feeling with a firming effect from the ice. It helps eliminate toxins and eases the signs of wrinkles, and slows down the appearance of new ones.

How to get started at home

Start by thoroughly cleansing your face. Wrap one ice cubes in a soft washcloth, gauze, or other soft cloth. Experts suggest not applying ice directly on the face to be safe.

If you struggle with redness or rosacea, anything that’s too hot or cold could irritate or damage your skin.

Hold it on different areas of your face for about 1-2 minutes, moving the ice cubes gently in a circular motion along the chin and jawline, up the cheeks, along the forehead and along the nose. Take special care underneath your eyes. The ice helps constrict blood vessels that cause puffiness and dark rings.

After you've gently massage your face with the ice, your skin will drink up products like serums and moisturizers. So after icing, let your face rest for about 5-10 minutes before applying a serum. When ice meets skin, your capillaries restrict which causes a pulling effect that helps the ingredients penetrate deeper.

Our ice cubes are a miracle essence that helps deliver active ingredients into the skin. Allowing serums and moisturizers to penetrate more deeply. Within a few days of consistent care, you’re healing process will be set in motion.

Your skin will feel firm and soft with a healthy-looking glow. And you’ll have a clean slate to apply your makeup. This duo will become a trusted part of your beauty routine before you put on your makeup. Super cool ice cubes - you won’t be able to live without them.
