The whole truth about the harm of ice cubes for the face.
In recent years, facial care procedures and other methods related to cryotherapy have gained quite a lot of popularity among young people, Ukr.Media reports.
Although its scientific benefits remain unproven in clinical studies conducted by medical professionals, some celebrities in the entertainment and beauty industries have admitted to routinely applying ice cubes to their faces to revitalize the appearance of their skin.
However, according to dermatologist Jessica Garelik from New York University, located in the United States, although this method seems harmless, it can lead to potential damage to the skin barrier due to the freezing level at which the water is.
The specialist also emphasized that this type of treatment is not recommended for everyone, because some people have specific skin conditions that cause dryness and sensitivity.
However, there are some health and wellness benefits to carefully incorporating ice cubes into your facial routine. Experts have explained that this simple technique is used to reduce puffiness under the eyes, redness caused by acne, and improve blood circulation.
In case this method doesn't seem entirely safe to you, dermatologist Hadley King, a member of the American Academy of Dermatology, recommends using cold compresses to get the same results and avoid injury from direct contact of ice on the skin of the face.
However, keep in mind that regardless of which method you use, it is important to consult a specialist if you experience any allergic reaction to ice or cold compresses.
