KEEP COOL

When the mercury is on the up, turn it down on your skin. The latest crop of products and pro treatments is making your complexion cool it. “Cryotherapy is based on the principles of shock – when you flash-freeze, blood rushes to your internal organs to regulate temperature and picks up nutrients on the way,” explains skin therapist Jeannie Bourke. “Oxygen-rich blood pumps through your system, which stimulates your immunity and reduces inflammation.” If you’re too blissed out from the summer sun to apply your own cooling creams and masks, Bourke’s Sydney salon Venustus has a Crystal Cryotherapy Facial that involves refrigerated jade rollers and frozen cubes of moisturiser.
