They can be a great relief during the bad breakouts and particularly soothing for acne and inflammatory skin. A nice touch for using ice cubes would be to freeze your favorite fruit and vegetable juices into ice cubes. That would provide your skin with immediate anti-oxidants and the various benefits which come from topical application of the particular fruits.
The essentials would be orange juice which is useful for bright face and apple juice which is great for oily skin. You can also go for pomegranates as they are especially high in anti-oxidants and would provide a rosy complexion.
Caution: Applying ice cubes straight to your skin can cause delicate capillaries under your skin to break so wrap the ice cubes in a wash cloth and then apply them to your skin.
you can also use lemon juice...
ReplyDeleteoh yes...sure...nice tip :)
ReplyDeleteI did try it in a diff way..i rubbed ice on my face (actually used ice cubes directly on to the face..but next time i will wrap it in some cloth)after 15-20 min i washed my face with face wash....n it really does works...my skin now is so..clean and fresh..
ReplyDelete...hey can the application of orange juice directly to the face and orange juice in the form of ice cubes wil be same???Will the benefits be same...because i wanna this next time..

hi what the best thing to have open pore for mature skin
Deletethanks
hello aysha...for mature skin, the only thing you can do is hydrate it as much as possible!
Deletealso, for reaction to haldi, buy only organic haldi and then you should not have any reaction to it!
can we directly place the (juice)ice cube on our face?
ReplyDeleteplz reply soon.
yes.
Deletebut its not advisable.
Deleteim using beauche product if u heard that,is this good for the face?..it content hydroquinone and i rub ice on my face directly i dunno if what will be the effect of rhis..
ReplyDeleteI am sorry but I don't know that how ice reacts with skin when you are using hydroquinone!!
DeleteHello swati..
ReplyDeleteIs using ice cubes daily on face is good? If not, how oftenly we can use?
Wat might be the effect if we apply ice cubes directly on face?
don't use it daily. use it on alternate days.
Deleteice cubes are really cold and can burst the thin capillaries just under the skin so don't use it directly.
Plz reply soon. Thanks
ReplyDeletehow can you wrap ice cube in a cloth and rub it on your face??
ReplyDeletehi Nikitha...sorry, your comment went into spam!!! I meant using a very thin cheese-like cloth so that it doesn't directly hit the skin! hope that answers :)

My face skin temperature is high than others...i am also suffering from pimples...my skin looks dull....i wash my face well & use moister creams...what is simple way???should i use ice cubes...if yes then how???pls help
ReplyDeletehey Ovi...well, the skin temperature is something which you can't control...improve diet and sleep properly...the skin dullness would slowly go away...whenever you think your skin is looking dull, you can use a face mist or something and blot the oil from the face using a blotting paper or a tissue paper. and, make sure you use a good product at night coz it goes a long way in ensuring your skin doesn't look dull and also, you can use a compact/loose face powder to even skin tone and make it look bright.
Deletedoes ice cube help in reducing black heads?
ReplyDeleteno, i didn't notice it!!
DeleteWhat do you mean put it in a cloth? How does that work? Can I also cover the ice cube with plastic like a ziplock bag? And are you rubbing the cube all over your face? And for how long? After applying the cube, do I just leave my face or damp my face with a towel? Sorry for asking so many questions but please answer them.
ReplyDeleteyes, you can use a ziplock bag. wrapping inside a cloth means wrapping ice with thin cheese cloth or cotton cloth. you can use it till your face feels too cold to handle ice or it melts. after using it, when the face is damp, follow with a moisturizer. do this on clean skin.
DeleteCan I use a paper towel to wrap the ice cubes in or will that damage my face? What can I use to wrap the ice cube in?
ReplyDeletepaper towel will get torn due to the wet ice.
DeleteHi Swati! I'm not sure if this will notify you since I'm commenting on an old post (if it is) but I saw a comment about not using lemon juice. I've used lemon juice on my face for months. You said it was not a good thing in the long run. If I do stop using it, do you think my face sensitivity will to back to not being so sensitive? Can anything help?
ReplyDeletehi Rena...don't worry you can comment on old posts as well..I get all notifications :)
Deleteyup, you should not use lemon juice too much. check out this post:
http://www.perfectskincareforyou.com/2012/11/ph-level-and-citrus-fruits-skin-care.html
well, leaving using it won't make your skin back to what it was but it will gradually help a lot!!! just make sure not to use too much acidic products or ingredients because all of them cause sensitivity!!
Thank you! :)
DeleteHi swati..I'm just wondering what do i do MY FACE LOOK DULL AND LIKE OLD BECAUSE ITS OILY AND END UP LOOKING DARK BUT MY COMPLEXION IS FAIR AND WHEN I SLEEP MY FACE WOULD LOOK REFRESH AND WHITE...so what can i do will rubbing ice help?? WHAT CAN I ALSO DO TO LIGHTEN DARK CIRCLES. SORRY FOR THE QUESTIONS BUY THE WAY IM ONLY 12 and you kinda bothers me
ReplyDeleteyes, using ice will definitely help and I would also suggest you to use blotting or tissue papers to remove the oil from your face whenever you feel the need or otherwise use a good compact or loose powder which can prevent oily face. using aloevera gel also helps in curbing oil.
Deletefor dark circles, almond oil is very very good so just don't be afraid of oil at all and take a drop of almond oil and apply it on your eyes area using the ring finger.
do you have to use a wash cloth?
ReplyDeleteyes
DeleteHi, thanks everybody for the helpful comments. I have been using the ice cube method for two weeks now and the results are AMAZING. Will try the fruit one and see.
ReplyDeleteglad to know the results :)
DeleteHalloo every body. I try the ice cube but not with a cloth. So next morning a had a red face. Swati why is that? Is that bad?
ReplyDeleteas written in the post, the delicate capillaries under the skin on the face may break because of the extreme cold. so, please use a wash cloth!
DeleteHi! I was wondering if the fruit juice that you mentioned were sweet? Can I use those fruit juice that are sold in supermarkets (which are sweet)?
ReplyDeleteThanks! ):
Deleteno there is no relation to fruit juices and their being sweet....orange fruit juices are not necessarily sweet!! and, no, you should not use the supermarket quality because they have preservatives and other additives!
DeleteHii.. Can we have to wrap frozen fruit juice cubes also in a cloth or we can aplly directy orange juice cubes on face plz rply fast
ReplyDeleteyes, you have to wrap them also in a cloth! you can do this every day as well till the ice melts!
DeleteAnd how many times in a week can we do this.. Rply fast
ReplyDeleteNd how much time?? We can do this
ReplyDeleteI mean what is the time limit... Rpl fast plzzz...
ReplyDeleteDont use every thing on ur face olny milk use on ur face
ReplyDeleteHi swathi.. I've got little open pores which is visible when I see closely in the mirror.. I tried an ice pack on my face .. later I see all the pores gets open in my face.. is ice pack a right solution for me ? If not what else can I try ?
ReplyDeletepores would be visible if you look very closely and they can never be totally closed because they are holes literally but you can only minimize their sizes only temporarily. yes, do the ice pack. and, everyday, you can use a toner. it helps with the pore size.
DeleteFor women, make green tea, let it cool, pour into ice cube tray and use as everyone is talking about. It's a great toner! So use green tea in place of orange/apple juice.
ReplyDeletegreat ideas :)
DeleteI just wrote a comment but not sure it published. Another great idea for women is using green tea instead of orange/apple juice. It's an amazing toner you don't wash off!
ReplyDeleteMake green tea, let it cool, pour into ice cube trays and freeze it and use as directed above, but don't washed off, and let dry then put lotion and anything else.
yes, green tea is amazing :)
Deletei hav whiteheads problem...wat shud i do 4 tat...mine is acne prone skin
ReplyDeleteits just like blackheads so steam the face for 2 min and then use a multani mitti face mask, remove with a cotton ball and moisturize. do this every alternate day.
DeleteHi im 19 years old and i just started icing my face covered with cotton cloth but wanted to ask that while icing, the melting water is always dripping all over my face is that ok? And after icing, what do i use? Cream or face wash or do i just leave it to dry? And my nose is very oily, so is this gonna help? And do i use it daily, if so how many times?
ReplyDeleteThanks a bunch and sorry for so many questions
yes, water will drip which fine! moisturize your face after wiping off the water on the face. use the face wash before using the ice. yes, it helps oily skin. you can use it daily once.
DeleteHey swati, ive lots of blackhead on my nose. Tell me some easy home remedy tips pls.
ReplyDeletecheck out this link: http://www.perfectskincareforyou.com/2010/06/how-to-get-rid-of-blackheads.html
Deleteand, always clean your face thoroughly before sleeping.
Hi swati, deos ice also remove black spots. I ve bin using it for a while now although I ve mine cover in a plastic bag and then I wrap with wash cloth. Should I continue?
ReplyDeleteyes, it does help in removing blemishes and dark spots! you should definitely continue :)
Deletehi im aurohita i just wanted to ask what i could do to get rid of pimples cause most of the products make my skin dry and using moisturizers makes me get more pimple....does ice help??

hi i want to know that...should i rub my face at night or should i do it at morning before going to my college?and should i rub ice on face before washing my face with soap or after rubbing ice on face should i use the soap?plz reply me soon?
ReplyDeleteuse this after washing your face! you can use this at night or in the morning as and when you wish but only once a day so make sure of that!!
DeleteCan you wrap the ice cube in paper towel?
ReplyDeleteno because the paper towel would dissolve!
DeleteIs the effect only for a day or it will show changes after days you do it?
ReplyDeletegenerally as you do it, on a length of time, the skin would show difference
DeleteAlright. Thanks!
DeleteI put ice cubes on my eyebags and it works! But my question is.. is it safe? My eyes won't be at risk??
ReplyDeleteyes it is absolutely safe and there is no risk :)
DeleteThank you Swati!!
DeleteThank you Swati for your quick answers. Can ice cubes on face whiten skin? If I put it on my underarms, it will whiten too?
ReplyDeletei am not sure if it really whitens the skin!!!

ReplyDeleteyes, it is safe to do everyday :)
DeleteWhat do you think about applying calamansi on face/body? What are the benefits? Is it safe?

ReplyDeleteyes they do to an extent!
DeleteI hv oily skin n I wnt to clean my face ..ther r any homemade n eaisy avail solution ???
ReplyDeleteyes, use aloevera gel to moisturize skin and use besan + turmeric to clean the face.
Deleteso from the comment, Lemon juice + ice cubes is not recommended? Was seeing many people doing that on the internet.
ReplyDeleteyes lemon actually gives really good results immediately but it is not really good for skin. it is extremely drying so use tomato or potato.

hiee...can i get rid of dark circles and fine lines under eyes with the help of ice cubes? pls reply
ReplyDeleteit can help with dark circles. but, i don't think it will help much with fine lines. it will only hydrate the skin. apply a drop of almond oil or vitamin e oil on the eye area to get rid of fine lines!!
Deletehey
