CRYOTHERAPY

It’s the latest beauty trend having a major moment, and it’s all about using products with cooling technology to boost everything from your complexion to your circulation. Here are three reasons why you should be jumping on this super-cool bandwagon...

1 IT’S ANTI-AGEING

Topical chilling creams, gels and ice cube treatments can help improve microcirculation and skin cell turnover to restore your natural glow and regain smoother, firmer skin. The coldness of the temperature stimulates your skin so active ingredients have the ability to penetrate more powerfully, too.

TRY: 1. Skyn Iceland Hydro Cool Firming Eye Gels $44 for 8, 2. Vanessa Megan Cryo Facelift Ice Cube Treatment $179.95 for 8

2 IT SOOTHES

Popping a cooling product on your skin can calm inflammation, puffiness, redness and even rosacea. 3. Skinceuticals Phyto Corrective Masque $85 cools skin by around 15 degrees while also reducing irritation and discomfort. Also, if you’re suffering from unexplained, spur-of-themoment summer redness, try storing your moisturiser in the fridge for quick relief.

3 IT PERFECTS

When your skin is cold it causes the blood vessels to tighten, which can lead to smaller looking pores and a more taut complexion – hello airbrushed skin! Look for a freshening and tightening product such as 4. Caolion Pore Original Pack $31 formulated with glacial water to hydrate and menthol to cool and revitalise.
