A beauty hack often goes viral on Instagram and other social media platforms – rubbing ice on the face makes the skin glow. Many people follow it, while some consider it a myth. The question arises: Does snow really start glowing face or is it just a trend? Let us know the opinion of the dermatologist and its advantages and disadvantages.

Glow on the face with snow – how right?
Dermatologists say that applying ice on the face can give some skin benefits, but daily use and wrong method can also be harmful. The ice can show the skin tight and fresh, which makes the “instant glow”. But this glow is temporary.

Benefits of applying ice on face:
Reduces inflammation: If the face feels swollen in the morning, applying ice can provide instant relief.

Relief in pimples: Applying ice can reduce inflammation and redness of pimples.

Increases blood circulation: The coolness temporarily increases the blood flow in the skin, which makes the face fresh and tight.

Tight the open pores: ice can tighten the pores, which makes the skin look smooth.

Disadvantages or precautions:
Applying direct ice can cause skin burns (called “ice burn”).

Can be harmful for sensitive or dry skin.

Applying for a long time can explode capillaries, which can show red lines on the skin.

What is the right way?
Always apply ice by wrapping it in soft cloth or cotton handkerchief.

Do not apply more than 1-2 minutes.

Do it only 2-3 times a week.

Herbal ice cubes can be made by mixing rose water, aloe vera or green tea in ice.
