Rarely will I do a post that isn’t a review of a product of some sort… but I saw this on my Facebook feed last week and was like WHAT?!
Ice.On.Your.Face.
I got a chill just typing that.
But when you read it, it makes sense! Here are 4 Icy Beauty Secrets that will blow your mind. My personal fave is icing a zit. I’m not even kidding, I would have never done that before this article. I used to hear, and believe… okay HEAT draws it out. I would nuke a wet washcloth and hold it on that zit (I’m sorry this is so gross) to draw out the nasty so it could disappear. This article tells you to ice it to decrease the inflammation.
Doesn’t that sound much better for your skin than a hot towel from the microwave?! What do you think? Ice or Heat? Hot Ice? lol ahhhhhh what to do!
I first heard of icing from my fave skincare place a long time ago. I will often ice my face after I wash all the makeup off in the evening. Since icing takes down inflammation, it helps the zit-goo medicine to penetrate better. And it DOES work!

If I’ve got a mountain of a zit I’ll do both; first hot, then cold!
