Some time ago Alia Bhatt gave information about her skin care routine on an Instagram Live. There was a lot of controversy over Alia's lipstick statement during her skincare routine and makeup, but there was one more thing that went viral during this time. That was Alia's ice water facial, according to which this facial proved to be very useful in reducing the pores of her skin. Alia Bhatt's skin shines in both real life and real life and fans were also interested in knowing her skin care routine.
Dermatologist DrAanchalPanth of Dermafollix Skin & Hair Transplant Clinic has shared information related to this on Instagram. He gave this information about Alia Bhatt's facial and how it can be beneficial for the skin as well as harmful.
What is an ice-water facial?
You have to dip your face in icy water, keep it for 5 seconds and then take it out. After a break of 10 seconds, this process has to be repeated for 5 seconds. If someone is not able to do it for a full 5 seconds, then you can do it as per your capacity. However, do not do this for too long because doing so may cause irritation or even skin burns.
Ice water facial reduces facial swelling
If your face is always swollen or you are very tired for some reason and there is swelling under the eyes, then this facial can prove to be very helpful. According to Dr. Anchal, this happens because by putting the mouth in cold water, the process of vasoconstriction starts. This is a process in which the blood vessels of the face start shrinking due to a sudden temperature change.
Shrinking of blood vessels or cells causes a reaction similar to that which occurs when we apply a cold compress to any part of the body and swelling reduces. This is why it directly reduces facial swelling and redness.
Does this process make any difference to the skin texture?
According to DrAanchal, doing this process does not have any effect on the skin for a long time. If someone is thinking that this will have any effect on the skin texture or will cure other skin problems like acne etc., then it is not so. It is not necessary for facial skin care and there is absolutely no need to make it a routine.
When can ice facials be done on the skin?
You can do this before doing heavy makeup. This is because temporarily due to this, our skin pores become smaller, due to which the makeup looks better and the skin looks more radiant. However, before doing this, make sure to clean your face properly.
Who should not do an ice facial?
People whose skin is becoming very dry, whose skin is very irritated, and whose skin is prone to flaking, should avoid this type of facial.
Can ice be applied directly to the skin?
No, this will irritate your skin and may even cause skin burns. The nature of ice is always hot and it is not good for a skincare routine at all. Always avoid applying ice directly to your skin.
