Washing your face every day is the number one and most important step of skincare. We all are habitual of washing our faces as the morning ritual. It helps us to get rid of dirt and grease that accumulates on our skin. Although even after that, many of us are not able to prevent issues like acne, blackheads and oily skin. This could be because of the rising temperature and exposure to sunlight. However, washing your face with cold water during summer is a lot of fun and it helps to shrink pores also! It also has several skin benefits as well.

Shrink pores: During the summer season, skin seems very slippery and dirty. It happens because the pores enlarge during the rising  temperature of the weather. Using ice water or rubbing ice cubes on the skin shrinks the pores for some time. Using the same technique before applying makeup makes skin look beautiful. However, the skin absorbs skincare products effectively if applied ice cubes massage is done before.

Control ageing: Nobody can stop the natural process of ageing but one can slow it down. Getting refreshed with cold water improves blood circulation which ultimately enhances the way your skin looks. It can help to reduce wrinkles, and fine lines and bring the glow back.

Maintain skin moisture: Skin tends to become dry due to hot temperatures that result in damaging the skin’s protective layer. The  summer season also causes evaporation of moisture from the skin. However, both of these things can be stopped by washing your face with ice water and using the correct type of product.

Apart from the normal ice cubes, you can also apply ice cubes of natural ingredients like aloe vera and turmeric to help your skin.
