Skin Icing: Radiantly beautiful skin thanks to the ice-cold beauty trend

Skin care from the freezer: The new beauty trend Skin Icing is as simple as it is ingenious.

What do models like Irina Shayk (34) or Kate Moss (46) do against bags under the eyes and tired facial skin in the morning? It's simple: you rely on the power of the cold. One with just an ice cube, the other with an ice cucumber bath that she dips her face in. This trend is called skin icing and is currently taking the beauty scene by storm. The principle of cryotherapy, i.e. the targeted use of cold stimuli, is not new.

Athletes in particular swear by ice baths in order to regenerate quickly after exercising. And singer Lady Gaga (34, "Stupid Love") also showed herself bathing in the ice as part of her VMAs preparation. The cold promotes blood circulation, strengthens the immune system and ensures a radiant complexion.

Skin icing for the home

The skin icing treatment can be carried out very easily at home. As with Shayk, a simple ice cube is enough. Let this melt in slow, circular movements on the cleansed facial skin, then pat the face dry with a towel and moisturize it with moisturizing cream. The result: the pores shrink, swelling and redness go down. Overall, the skin appears more radiant and firmer.
