Celebrities and social media influencers are constantly in the public eye and have to consistently keep up with their appearance. They observe a strict diet and exercise routine to maintain a youthful and vibrant look to fulfill their roles and satisfy their audience. However, they go the extra mile by trying out facial treatments, specifically fire and ice facial.
Although celebrities and social media influencers have makeup artists, hairstylists, personal trainers, dermatologists, and fashion designers to help them stay in shape, that doesn’t mean you can’t be as good-looking as they are.
You may not necessarily reach their level of consistency, but you can achieve a youthful and glowing look. Thanks to cosmetic and skincare treatments that are very much possible. Today, we will look at one of these treatments, fire, and ice facial, and see how they may benefit you if you consider the treatment.
What Is A Fire And Ice Facial?
Fire and Ice facial is a trendy treatment that has been gaining popularity in the last few years. It is a facial treatment that uses two different concepts: “fire” and “ice.” While it has fire and ice on its name, it isn’t a literal translation; it’s an idea of the facial treatment approach.
This facial treatment won’t involve using fire and ice literally, and we will explain what they are later on.
The effectiveness of the treatment is known among celebrities and social media influencers alike. That’s why the treatment is often termed as Red Carpet/Hollywood Facial. So if you ever plan to go to a social gathering, this treatment is the go-to recommended option for many.
This treatment aims to rejuvenate the skin using one of the latest skincare and cosmetic formulas. Not only will the treatment smoothens and give the skin a more glowing complexion, but it also addresses certain signs of aging. Everyone has that beautiful skin in them, and this treatment’s job is to bring them out.
How Does It Work?
Fire and Ice facial treatments use two approaches to bring out your skin’s younger look. Essentially, the fire part will thoroughly clean the skin through some vitamins and minerals, and then the ice part applies some formulas that help hydrate and rejuvenate the skin. Altogether, the result is a skin that’s been reborn anew.
As for the specifics of the treatment, here is what you can expect:
Fire Part
The first part of the treatment involves using specific vitamins and minerals to resurface the skin; it’s essentially a skin resurfacing and exfoliation treatment.
Skin resurfacing and exfoliation treatments are common practices among people who want to maintain their youthful appearance. These treatments can help remove the dead skin cells, making room for new skin cells to develop and replace the old ones.
Your provider will apply these vitamins and minerals to your facial skin. They have to be quite potent to remove and dissolve the debris, old skin layer, and dead skin layer. So once the treatment is applied, you will feel a warm sensation on your face—hence the “fire” name.
Fortunately, it is typically painless, and while it is warm, it’s just a bit tingly, not really scorching hot.
Ice Part
The second part then takes advantage of the result of the fire treatment. Now that the skin layer underneath is exposed, the “ice” becomes more effective in its job in rejuvenating the skin.
After exfoliating and skin resurfacing, your provider will apply antioxidants and serums to your skin to help maintain its health. There are many types of antioxidants and serums that you can use for this purpose. The antioxidants used for the treatment are synthetic or natural; either way, there isn’t much difference since their chemical makeup is the same.
These formulas help fight free radical damage caused by pollution in the air or sun exposure. Serums are usually oils that contain vitamins and minerals with powerful anti-aging properties such as vitamin C or vitamin E.
The formula is far colder sensation than the exfoliation process—hence the “ice” name.
Final Touch-Ups
Your provider will apply another serum to your face to conclude the treatment. Also, they will apply more moisturizers and sunscreen formula on under the eyes to hydrate and humidify the skin.
This step is needed since the skin is very vulnerable to the environment. The “fire” treatment did remove a skin layer after all, and that’s a layer of protection that’s gone.
However, the treatment is popular because it is very accessible for anyone. The treatment doesn’t cause any severe side effects, and you can return to your daily routine as soon as you are out of the office. It’s that easy.
What Are Its Benefits?
Fire and Ice facial is an innovative approach in the cosmetic and skincare treatments sector. It offers a painless, quick solution that guarantees positive outcomes without serious drawbacks. Another advantage of the treatment is it is mostly for everyone, no matter their skin type.
Here are a few benefits you can expect out of the treatment:
- Clears Acne Breakouts And Acne Scars
- Minimizes Hyperpigmentation
- Reduces Signs of Aging
- Resurfaces A More Youthful And Vibrant Skin layer
The efficacy differs from person to person, but generally, you can expect a more renewed and vibrant facial skin.
Who Can Benefit The Treatment?
Facial and Ice treatment is effective for anyone, no matter their skin type. However, it doesn’t necessarily mean it’s for everyone.
If you are in this category, you are a candidate for the treatment:
- Healthy
- Experiencing Signs of Aging
- Realistic Expectations
- Dull Complexion
However, if you are on any of this list, Fire and Ice facial isn’t recommended for you:
- Experiencing Skin Health Conditions
- Pregnant Or Breastfeeding
- Undergoing Radiation or Chemotherapy Treatment
- Problems In The Immune System
If you experience Ice and Facial in these conditions, it may cause unwanted side effects. Consult with your provider first and check if you are suitable for the treatment or not. Each person has unique circumstances, so you may be suitable despite having certain conditions.
Takeaway
Fire and Ice Facial uses two approaches to bring out your natural beauty. The first is to enable skin resurfacing and exfoliation and then take advantage of it by applying skin rejuvenating formulas. The result is that beautiful skin appears that you’ve never thought possible. Do not hesitate to reach out to Emily Frost Aesthetics anytime if you are interested!
