Hi all!

Unfortunately, the time comes when each of us begins to think about how to extend the youth of our skin, how to restore its former tone and freshness?

A couple of years ago I became addicted to rubbing ice cubes on my face. At first I didn’t do it very willingly, I kept forgetting, but then I got involved. The ice recipes I prepared became more perfect, suitable for my skin type.

My skin: age 35+, combination, without enlarged pores. In summer it becomes oily in the T zone; in winter, the cheeks may peel slightly.

I first read about the fact that you can wipe your face with ice in some old women's magazine. I decided to try it, but I gave it up very quickly, and now, many years later, I remembered this experience, read articles on the Internet and began to use it thoroughly.

Ice is an excellent way to invigorate the skin and tone it in a relatively short time. And it will cost you practically nothing.

I started my experiments with frozen mineral water. Simple, but effective. The skin receives + minerals for a tonic effect.

I now make a variety of cubes to suit my skin's needs at different times of the year.

I brought it out for myself several nuances of using ice cubes

- do not use in the morning during the cold season if you are going outside. If this point is not observed, my cheeks begin to peel. In winter, I wipe my skin with ice at night, if in the morning, then on a day off, when I don’t have to rush to work.

- do not use if there are fresh inflammations on the skin (acne)

- Before use, remove the cube from the refrigerator about five minutes before the procedure. I usually take ice out of the freezer, put it in a bowl and go wash. During the time it takes me to wash my face, the ice manages to melt slightly.

- It is better to prepare ice in small quantities so that it lasts for about a week.

- ice absorbs odors very well, so it is better to store it in a closed container. I prepare the ice in a mold and transfer it for storage to a regular plastic bag, so the ice is protected from foreign odors, does not ventilate, and the food in the refrigerator will not suffer from the smell of ice flakes if essential oils are added to them. Everyone is happy.

- Don’t overuse rubbing your skin with ice, don’t do it too often. It is advisable to take a break between procedures, for example, we wipe for a week, then a break for a couple of days. This is necessary so that the skin does not lose its moisture, otherwise it becomes dry.

D for each I have my favorite recipes throughout the year, and I’ll share them with you now.

I like it in spring and summer ice with herbs: mint, chamomile, great feeling of freshness. I have been harvesting mint since the summer; it grows in my garden. I buy chamomile at the pharmacy. Green tea is great.

The preparation is very simple: pour boiling water over a tablespoon of dry herbs, leave for half an hour, strain, pour into molds. You can pour boiling water over the herb and simmer for a couple of minutes, then the infusion will be more intense.

My form is like this, plastic,

but it seems to me that it is more convenient to use silicone molds; there will be no problems with removing the pieces of ice. I'm still going to order a silicone mold on Ali, there are a huge variety of them.

Many people freeze the broth along with flowers or berries; this, of course, is beautiful, but not very convenient. When wiping, fragments of herbs remain on the face, I don’t like it, I filter the decoctions.

In general, in summer there is a huge selection of ingredients; to make ice you can use any fruits and berries, especially juice from them (cucumber, watermelon, raspberries..)

For winter my absolute favorite is - ice made from milk with honey and essential oils. Very cool effect, the skin does not dry out at all. Most likely, the recipe with milk will also suit those with dry skin.

We dilute the milk in half with water, add half a spoon of honey to it per 100 ml of milk with water. It’s even better to add not honey, but pollen with honey


Mix everything well, the milk becomes yellowish (in the photo I have honey with pollen), then add some essential oil (6-7 drops per 100 ml) whichever you like best. I prefer cedar or ylang-ylang oil in combination with milk and honey. Mix well and pour into molds. The dark sediment in the cubes is settled pollen.


Another one of my winter favorites - ice made from black tea and honey. Yes, it’s made from black; just like green, it tones the skin. Brew tea, strain, cool, add half a teaspoon of honey per 100 ml of tea leaves, stir, add some essential oil. Let's pour it out.


Ice with the addition of honey is not as hard as simple herbal decoctions; it is a little loose. After rubbing the face with ice cubes, the skin becomes soft and moisturized. And not sticky at all! When I first made ice with honey, I was worried that the honey would remain sticky, but no, that won’t happen.

Summer, autumn. There's a lot in the garden parsley, a very valuable plant for aging skin. Prepare ice in the same way as with dried herbs.

Pour boiling water, or boil a little, leave, cool, strain and pour into molds. It turns out this slightly greenish ice.


And another one of my summer favorites - coffee ice. Excellent tonic effect! We brew strong coffee, cool, filter, and pour into molds. The tone is excellent, and what a smell... I highly recommend that coffee lovers try it.

General rules for wiping your face with an ice cube

* before wiping with an ice cube, the skin of the face must be moisturized. If you start the procedure on dry skin, it can easily be injured.

* move the cube over the skin quickly, without holding it on one area of ​​the skin for more than 2 seconds. It’s better to return to one place again than to overexpose and freeze the skin.

* the neck is also quite a problematic place. which reveals age, if the cube is large and there is enough of it, we wipe it too. It won't hurt to cheer up your neck either.

* do not forget to use ice in the eye area, only the contact of ice with the skin in this place should be shorter in duration, because the skin near the eyes is more delicate and thin.

* it is advisable to wipe your face with ice along massage lines, from the center of the face.

* after the procedure, you need to let the beneficial moisture absorb, but if that doesn’t work, then lightly blot your face, do not wipe it dry.

* after wiping with ice, apply cream or oil to your face

You shouldn’t expect a quick effect from rubbing your face with ice, but if it becomes a habit, then after two to three weeks your facial skin will be noticeably fresher.

I became addicted to washing with ice; I was addicted to this procedure. It invigorates me perfectly in the morning, especially when I haven’t had enough sleep, I wake up instantly.

The skin on my face felt fresher and slightly firmer. The wrinkles, of course, have not disappeared anywhere, but the general appearance of the face has. in my opinion it has improved and I really hope. that the ice delayed the appearance of other wrinkles.

Overall, a rather pleasant, tonic procedure.

If you haven’t tried wiping your face with ice, I strongly advise you to decide to do it and take a step towards a beautiful complexion, especially since this procedure is available to anyone, regardless of material income and is absolutely natural. If you already use cosmetic ice, I will be very glad if I told you something new and useful.

Thanks to everyone who read my review. Be beautiful!

Cosmetologists, through numerous studies, have found that exposure to low temperatures benefits the human body, rejuvenating it and preventing premature aging. Women successfully undergo cryomassage procedures to improve their appearance. But these procedures cost a lot of money, they are quite painful and take up a lot of free time. Recipes for facial ice against wrinkles can come to the rescue. Ice will help smooth out deep wrinkles on the face, tighten the skin, make it more elastic and toned.

Does ice help against wrinkles?

When exposed to cold, blood vessels dilate - only those located in the deep layers of the dermis. And those located on the surface, on the contrary, narrow. Rubbing ice against wrinkles will help speed up cell renewal by improving blood circulation. As a result, the pores will narrow, the skin will tighten, and the face will be adorned with a healthy glow.

The result of rubbing with ice cubes will be especially noticeable when young girls are bothered by the feeling of dryness and tightness, when the first wrinkles begin to appear.

Beneficial properties of ice against wrinkles and swelling

For women who are trying their best to hide age wrinkles, soothe irritated skin and get rid of circles under the eyes, cosmetologists recommend taking a course of cryomassage. Such procedures will return youth and smooth dermis to the face, but they cost a fortune. Most people who have used facial ice recipes for wrinkles have responded positively to this method of rejuvenation. A piece of ice can be an excellent replacement for expensive, high-quality tonics sold by popular brands. It tightens pores, which will benefit those with oily skin, making it velvety and elastic. With this simple remedy you can avoid the formation of a network of wrinkles in the corners of the eyes and the loss of a beautiful facial contour.

Ice helps get rid of bruises under the lower eyelids, because their appearance is often associated with poor blood flow. They can appear due to lack of sleep, frequent stress, and improper facial care. Fortunately, regularly rubbing ice over the eye area will help relieve wrinkles and puffiness, bruising and bags that often appear in this sensitive area due to fluid retention in the tissues.

Ice stops the development of inflammatory processes and fights the negative effects of free radicals and toxic substances, which are to blame for the premature appearance of wrinkles.

Insufficient production of skin secretion leads to dryness and an unpleasant feeling of tightness. This leads to the appearance of wrinkles, but this can be avoided by regular exposure to low temperatures. By rubbing the dermis with ice cubes, you can saturate it with moisture and stimulate cell renewal - this is important for normalizing the functions of the dermis.

How to make facial ice for wrinkles

  2. It is advisable to freeze ice only in closed forms. An ice cube can quickly absorb unpleasant odors, so it is better to avoid open molds.
  3. Ice cubes made from herbs can be stored for no more than 5 days.
