Home/ News / Smriti Khanna tries ice water facial; is it really effective?

Celebrities like Bell Hadid, Katrina Kaif, Alia Bhatt among others swear by ‘ice water facial’ to get rid of morning puffiness and instantly tighten their facial pores. It is one of the simplest facials to perform and requires you to dunk your face in a bowl of ice water for a few seconds. Actor Smriti Khanna too tried the viral trend and called it the “cheapest and best skincare hack ever” recently. Khanna shared a video of herself doing an ice-water facial and shared her experience in detail. Speaking with indianexpress.com, Dr Sonali Kohli, Consultant Dermatologist and Venereologist, Sir H. N. Reliance Foundation Hospital and Research Centre shares that the idea behind ice facial treatment is that the cold temperature constricts blood vessels, which can reduce inflammation and puffiness in the skin, as well as temporarily tighten pores and create a brighter complexion.
