The heat not only melts the brain, but also worsens the condition of the skin. The best express method to remedy the situation is ice.
Cryotherapy has long been one of the top 10 effective anti-aging treatments. They are advised by cosmetologists, they are loved by women of all ages. And you don’t have to go to a beauty salon. At home, you can easily make ice cubes that can work wonders. They help in the care of all types of skin. Cosmetologist Galina Radchenko told Wday.ru about what skin problems can be eliminated with the help of ice cubes.
Ice cube therapy came to us from grandmothers who washed themselves with ice herbal decoctions. The remedy is simple, but it works magically.
Firstly, because such therapy works in three directions at once:
– when you drive the cube on the skin, you perform actions similar to massage movements. This not only provides lymph drainage, but also tones the skin by stimulating the synthesis of collagen and elastin fibers in the dermis,
– By touching a cold ice cube to hot skin, you create stressful conditions for it, in response to which recovery mechanisms are activated. Due to cooling, the vessels narrow, immediately the blood flow increases compensatory, and nutrients are delivered to the skin in an increased size,
– since we do not use pure ice in this procedure, but with an admixture of plant components, the skin is simultaneously saturated with vitamins and other useful substances.
All these processes, which are triggered by a small ice cube in the skin, return us youth and radiance.
