Telva Why you shouldn't ice your face Irina Shayk style

A few weeks ago, a video of model Irina Shayk went viral, sharing with the whole world a beauty trick that had every chance of becoming a hit. And it is that any gesture that has a touch of home, that is affordable for everyone and, above all, free, is destined to become a success.Telva Why You Shouldn't Ice Your Face Irina Shayk-Style Telva Why You Shouldn't Ice Your Face Irina Shayk-Style

And what's easier than rubbing ice over your face? Come on, there is no Botox session that matches its results (see the irony). But no, you will not have a rejuvenated face because you freeze your dermis with this daily torture.

Surely you have bathed in ice cold water before. In a thermal circuit or even in the middle of the ocean, I have always been fascinated by how the skin of the legs looked when leaving. So smooth that it was almost hard, those dips on the Galician beaches served me as a spinning session. But from there to getting into ice water (which has also been seen on Instagram, everything is said) there is a stretch.

I like to contrast these trends with the experts. On this occasion I have spoken with two dermatologists. Paloma Cornejo advises me against this ritual for having rosacea skin. And he warns me "that this gesture is especially dangerous in the area of ​​the nose, which is more sensitive, and that we risk having chilblains, which are painful inflammations of small blood vessels in the skin."

Paloma Borregón, dermatologist at the Ivan Malagón Clinic in Madrid, confirms that "the risk of applying ice directly to the skin is that it causes a burn. The cold decongests, but we recommend more the mask that you put in the fridge, but not freezer. What you should not do is apply the ice directly without covering with a rag or cloth."

I will continue with my lifelong tricks: put the jade roller, the gel mask and even the eye contour in the fridge to get a subtle (but subtle) cold effect that favors the reduction of any type of inflammation in bags and dark circles.
