How to Use Ice cubes for face?

Many people say, Ice cubes should not be used directly on face. So I enquired about this with my beautician friend and she said how to use ice cubes.

1. We can use the ice cubes directly to the face. But do not keep in contact with the skin more than a second in the same area. Keep rotating around the face. Finish the ice facial on face and neck by 30 to 40 seconds.

* Do not use ice cubes straight from the freezer. Extreme cold gives negative effect and spoils your skin.

2. Ice cubes can be wrapped in a white cloth preferably a plain white cotton cloth or muslin cloth should work fine. Gently massage the wrapped ice cube around your face and you can keep it until the ice cubes melts completely.

* Do not use colored cloth
