We need the process of washing face with ice cubes to impart the skin elasticity and freshness, as well as it’s a healthy lifestyle to provide long-term prevention for wrinkles. When we cleanse the skin with olive oil or when we use honey as a facial cleaner we would like to remove the dirt from the skin and open the pores.
Washing with ice cubes accomplishes another income. We narrow pores conversely and keep skin in good shape. Not only pure frozen water is acceptable. For example, frozen chamomile decoction helps to remove blackheads.
I wash my face with ice cubes in the morning many years and I am very pleased with the state of my skin. However, this procedure is not for everyone. There is no need to wash the face by ice if you have very sensitive skin or blood vessels close to the surface, or if you have irritation after cold washing. You have to choose the best acceptable condition for your skin.
Skin should have a nice healthy tone after rubbing by ice, like blush as if you have returned from a walk. You will enjoy the process.
You can freeze plain or sparkling water or add a few drops of lemon juice. I prefer to brew herbs (chamomile, calendula) and freeze it after.
Things you may need:
- mineral water or chamomile
- lemon
- ice cube container or package
The first method: pour mineral water in a container and put in the freezer.
The second method: squeezes the lemon juice. Add a teaspoon of the juice in a glass of water. Pour water into a container and freeze.
The third method: boil a cup of water. Add 1 tablespoon of chamomile flowers. Hold it on a little heat for 10 minutes.
Turn off the stove, cover with a lid and leave the broth for half an hour. Filter chamomile decoction through a fine sieve and pour into ice cube container. Place the container in the freezer.
You can use it next day. Do it quickly and carefully first week until your skin gets used. Don’t catch cold. It is not necessary to dry the face after washing.
If you fit washing ice cubes and you’ll do it every day your skin stay young for a long time.
