In a video on TikTok, model Sara Kolami says that every morning she applies ice cubes to her face because, according to her, ice "helps with blood circulation, closes pores and reduces inflammation."
If you go to the comments , you will see that many people dispute this theory. Who is right?
If you search the internet, you will find many articles that show that ice cubes can be beneficial for the skin. However, there is no scientific research that fully proves this.
In addition, ice cubes can also damage the skin. They can cause redness and irritation, especially if applied for a long time.
On sensitive skin, ice can damage the skin barrier or cause a burning sensation.
In addition, some people may have an allergic reaction to cold water, which would make using ice cubes even more harmful for them.
While for many of Sarah's commenters the ice didn't work, it seems to work for her, so to be sure you're not damaging your skin - consult a dermatologist first!
