Facial cold therapy: The skin benefits and how to do it

Cold Therapy, also known as cryotherapy, is widely used by A-listers and their therapists for the instant visible results that it provides. If you have ever watched a “red carpet edition of a get ready”, you might have seen the practice in action. The reason why is simple, Cold therapy gives instant visible results, lifting and tightening the skin, constricting pores as well as stimulating blood flow to give a visible glow. The cold dials down redness, calms inflammation and brightens a dull complexion.

On top of that, it helps to release muscle tension in the face which is great for relaxation, expression lines, wrinkles lines and teeth grinding.
