Mini Skincare Workout
Warm-Up (5 minutes)
Start by cleansing your face to remove any makeup or impurities. A clean canvas is essential!
Ice Cube Massage (10 minutes)
1. Choose Your Ice:
– Use plain water ice cubes or infuse them with green tea, cucumber, or rose water for added benefits.
2. Wrap It Up:
– Wrap an ice cube in a soft cloth or use an ice roller if you have one. This will protect your skin from direct contact with the ice.
3. Massage Technique:
– Gently roll the ice cube across your face in upward motions. Focus on areas prone to puffiness, like under your eyes and along your jawline.
– Spend a little extra time on areas with redness or irritation.
4. Duration:
– Continue for 5-10 minutes, or until you feel refreshed and your skin is slightly red (a good sign of increased circulation!).
Cooldown (5 minutes)
After the ice cube massage, apply your favorite serum or moisturizer. Your skin is now primed to absorb those nourishing ingredients thanks to the increased circulation!
Tips for Success
- Frequency: Try this ice cube treatment 2-3 times a week for the best results.
- Storage: Make sure to keep your infused ice cubes in a clean, airtight container to maintain their freshness.
- Listen to Your Skin: If you have super sensitive skin, start with shorter sessions and see how your skin reacts.
