The coldest and cheapest way to restore facial glow, know the 5 magical benefits of applying ice.

News India Live, Digital Desk: We all try so many creams, lotions and facials to take care of our skin. But sometimes the work which is done by the cheapest and home made things is not done by big branded things. One such magical thing is the ice cube kept in your fridge. When your face feels tired or heavy after waking up in the morning, then a small cube of ice can be of great use to you. Let us know the correct way to use it and its real benefits: 1. Remove morning ‘puffiness’ or swelling of the face. Often, upon waking up in the morning, the eyes appear swollen and the face looks heavy. This happens because water accumulates in the blood vessels of the face while sleeping at night. The cold massage of ice shrinks these vessels, due to which your face starts feeling light and refreshed within a few minutes.2. Homemade method to close pores: Large pores i.e. open holes in the skin attract dust and dirt, which causes blackheads and pimples. By applying ice, these pores shrink, due to which the face starts looking much smoother. It also works as an excellent ‘natural primer’ before applying makeup.3. For instant glow: When you rub ice on the face, the body increases the blood flow there so that the heat remains. This eliminates facial fatigue and brings a natural redness and glow to the skin. This recipe is very useful before going to a party.4. Relief from pimples and irritation: The cold effect of ice is very useful in reducing the swelling or pain caused by pimples. It soothes the irritation there and reduces redness to a great extent. Correct way to use (caution is necessary): Never rub ice directly on the facial skin. This may cause burning of the skin or redness. Always wrap the ice cube in a clean handkerchief or cotton cloth. Move it gently on the face in circular motions. Do not keep the ice at one place for more than 1-2 minutes. A special tip while walking: If you want to give more benefits to your skin, then instead of water, make ‘ice cubes’ by freezing aloe vera gel or rose water. The result you will get after this will really be like an expensive parlor!
