From Glow to Caution: Celebs Like Alia Bhatt Highlight Ice Water Skincare Benefits and Risks
Alia Bhatt’s viral ice water face routine has reignited interest in cold water skincare. Celebrities like Ananya Panday and Katrina Kaif highlight its benefits, including reduced inflammation and improved glow. However, experts advise caution, as excessive use or direct ice contact can harm sensitive skin.
A video of actress Alia Bhatt rinsing her face with ice water recently went viral, prompting more discussion. Earlier, Ananya Panday and Katrina Kaif shared videos recommending against soaking the face in cold water. They believe cold water offers many benefits, including reducing inflammation, tightening skin, and enhancing natural glow. It boosts blood circulation by constricting facial blood vessels and can also bring a calming sensation.
During summer, washing your face with cold water or ice is an easy home remedy. It lowers skin temperature, restores freshness, and helps manage increased sweat and oil that can cause stickiness and acne. Cold water temporarily calms oil glands and controls excess sebum.
Scientifically, cold water impacts the skin mainly through vasoconstriction. Exposure to cold causes blood vessels to constrict, decreasing swelling, redness, and irritation. Vasoconstriction narrows blood vessels by muscle contraction, regulating body temperature via reduced blood flow-a natural bodily process.
