How to use ice cubes as a beauty tool
There’s nothing we love more than a DIY beauty ritual, especially when it costs next to nothing. What at-home find will reduce redness, shrink your pores, and soothe puffy eyes? Ice cubes!
As an eco-friendly beauty tool, ice cubes have the power to seriously revamp your get-ready ritual. How? Scroll down to find out more.
1. As a primer
Yes, seriously. Rubbing an ice cube on your face prior to makeup application refreshes the skin and reduces how oily the surface of your skin is, acting in a similar capacity as a primer.
2. Soothe puffy eyes
Are puffy under-eyes getting you down? Try rubbing an ice cube on the area to soothe and deflate. The ice will de-puff your delicate under-eye area and tighten up the skin.
3. Sculpt your face
Save yourself a pricey trip to the derm and use an ice cube to sculpt and define your cheekbones. Start from the centre of your chin and move along your jawline, “then upward towards the highs of the cheekbones, under-eye region, and across the forehead,” celebrity facialist Ole Henriksen tells Vogue. “Repeat the massage for 5 minutes to get the firming, contouring effect.”
