Dermatologist, Thales Britas, widower by Paulo Gustavo, oppose the topic
In recent months, a simple and convenient practice has gained space between digital influencers and skin care enthusiasts: apply ice directly on the face. The technique, known as skin glaze or facial cryotherapy, has become viral on Tiktok and Instagram, accumulating millions of views and arousing curiosity about their real effects on the skin.
The scene is almost always the same: someone takes an ice cube or a frozen facial roll and slips along the face, especially in the regions under the eyes and cheeks. The promise? Reduce swelling, softening of dark circles and also give a more solid and brighter appearance. Actress Carolina Dieckmann is also skilled and has recently given her “precious advice” to her followers. But is it effective?
The dermatologist, Thales Britas, a widower by Paulo Gustavo, recorded a video by commenting on the topic on his social networks.
“When the ice applies, what happens is that the skin vessels contract. This is called the constriction vase. And then, the redness of the spine, or the seborrheic dermatitis up to the improvement, but this is temporary. Shortly after, a rebound effect, the vases expand and again that glow,” he said.
Brita said there are people who use ice as a primer, before makeup, but although it looks like a simple act, it can represent risks. When the ice is used directly on the skin for a long time it can cause:
- Cold burning
- Inflame fat fabrics on the face
- He triggered some conditions such as the cold alvear or the phenomenon of Raynaud, which causes ischemia – a lack of blood that generates pain and scars.
“They are not all those who can go around to pass the ice on our face. Sometimes we see a trend and we think we have found a magical solution. By using ice consciously on the face, it can bring an immediate effect of the closure of the pores, the reduction of swelling and even the lasting result, it comes with constancy, the right products for your skin and quality information”, concludes the doctor.
