Applying ice on your face is a very powerful facial treatment. It can basically get rid of all your insecurities. It can transform your skin from dry and tired to glowing and radiant. Ice can reduce your eye bags and remove your blackheads. Coldwater also minimizes pores, which can result in a pimple-free face. We all want that! Especially when you don’t have to pay a large amount of money to get it.
Directions for use:
- 1. Wash your face with soap.
- 2. Cover the ice with a soft and smooth cloth so there is no direct contact between the ice and your face because keeping ice in contact with your skin for a long time can cause an ice burn.
- 3. Gently rub the cloth with ice on your face in a circular motion for a minute or two.
- 4. Don’t forget the forehead, cheeks, under-eye, and chin.
- 5. Prepare a dry and clean towel for the water dripping from the ice.
- 6. When done, dry your face with a clean towel.

Dry lips are a big problem for some of us, especially during cold weather. Sometimes dry lips can be the reason for redness, cracking, and inflammation. Well, you don’t have to worry about it now! Luckily, we have coconut oil to moisturize our lips. It provides a barrier for your lips and boosts collagen production for your skin. Since it is high in lauric acid, a fatty acid found in coconut oil, it leaves the skin drier over time so don’t apply too much.
Directions for use:
- 1. Cleanse your lips with water.
- 2. Apply a small amount of coconut oil on your lips.
- 3. Leave it on for the whole day. Apply it only once a day.
- 4. Dry skin will start to peel after 10 minutes of applying it. Remember to let your lips go through the natural peeling process. So don’t pick on the peeling skin.
