Cold is officially hot. From runway-ready skin to TikTok tutorials, ice therapy has gone viral and for good reason. Celebrities like Hailey Bieber, Bella Hadid, and Kendall Jenner swear by their frosty facials to sculpt, depuff and glow. But what’s really behind this chill craze?
Let’s dive into why cold is gold and how you can bring this red-carpet ritual home.
1. The science behind ice therapy
Ice therapy (aka cryotherapy) for the face isn’t just a trend — it’s backed by real skin benefits. When ice is applied to the skin:
- Blood vessels constrict, reducing puffiness and inflammation.
- Once the skin rewarms, circulation increases, delivering oxygen and nutrients,
- It helps tighten pores and soothe irritated skin.
- And it gives an instant glow by boosting radiance.
It’s basically your skin’s version of a wake-up call, minus the espresso.
2. Why celebs are obsessed
Stars love a snatched jawline and radiant complexion and ice facials help them get there. Just ask Hailey Bieber, who’s been seen dunking her face in icy water as part of her morning routine. Why? Because:
- It depuffs instantly after a long flight or late night.
- It’s non-invasive, affordable and easy.
- It preps the skin beautifully before makeup (hello, glass skin effect!).
3. Ice, but elevated
Forget rubbing literal ice cubes on your face, today’s tools are chic, smart and sculpting. That’s where tools like the Glowhaus Sculpt Bar come in. Designed in a gua sha-inspired shape, it glides over contours, blending the benefits of ice therapy + facial massage in one sleek step.
Want more than just a cold swipe? Add botanical ingredients to your frozen tool, think rose water for glow, aloe for calm or green tea for anti-inflammation.
4. When & how to use It
Use your ice facial tool:
- Morning → to depuff and awaken the skin
- Before makeup → to tighten pores and smooth texture
- Post-treatment → to calm redness, swelling or inflammation
- Before bed → as a relaxing ritual
Always glide gently, working upward and outward, think of it as your icy mini face lift.
