Sara Ali Khan has found the perfect DIY technique to ace that glowy ...

Before you prep your skin, try icing it. Don't believe us? Let Sara Ali Khan convince you why this practice can really help you ace that post-makeup glow. While the technique isn't hers to claim and is already viral on social media, it's not as easy. Mind you, dipping your face in a bowl of freezing water and ice or rubbing ice cube’s on your face is not a piece of cake. Great things don’t happen by just sitting on your couch, so despite the shivers running down your spine, albeit momentarily, you should try icing your face for its numerous benefits.

Pore tightening and reduced puffiness

Enlarged pores can make your makeup look cracked but the best way to combat it is by icing your face. The cold temperature constricts blood vessels, reducing puffiness and inflammation, resulting in a more refined and even skin texture which serves as a perfect base for makeup.

Reduces redness

Inflammation and skin redness can be reduced by simply icing the face. The cooling effect of ice can calm irritated skin and is a great substitute to any serum. Whether you're dealing with blemishes, redness, or sunburn, the coolness of the ice cubes provides instant relief and reduces redness.

A perfect base for makeup

Want your makeup to look as flawless as Sara, prep your face by icing it before applying makeup. Creating a smooth surface, icing your face will ensure that makeup stays put for long hours, preventing melting or caking throughout the day.

Enhanced blood circulation and radiance

You can stop using highlighters because the icy cold sensation of the ice cubes stimulates blood circulation when applied to the skin. This increased blood flow brings a natural flush to the face, lending a healthy, youthful glow.

Refreshing and energising effect

If you want that fresh glowing morning face, icing your face should be your first step in your morning routine. The cooling effect of ice cubes on the skin has an instant rejuvenating impact. It wakes up the senses and provides a burst of freshness, making you feel revitalised and ready to face the day.
