15-Day Ice-Cold Water Face Dip Results
A makeup artist named Guneet Kaur Dhingra tried dipping her face in ice-cold water every day for 15 days.
She noticed her skin felt more awake, less puffy, and looked brighter, especially around her eyes.
A skin doctor, Dr. Rinky Kapoor, said this can help with skin conditions like psoriasis and eczema.
However, Dr. Kapoor warned that doing it for too long can dry out your skin or cause irritation.
She advised keeping the dips short, up to a minute, and not doing it right before a hot shower.
Always listen to your body and stop if you feel any discomfort.
Guneet Kaur Dhingra experienced reduced puffiness and improved skin texture after 15 days of daily ice-cold water face dips.
Dr. Rinky Kapoor confirmed benefits like reduced facial puffiness and temporary skin tightening, especially for conditions like psoriasis and eczema.
Potential risks include dryness, irritation, and exacerbation of sinus or respiratory conditions.
Experts recommend limiting each session to one minute and avoiding hot water exposure immediately afterward.
Users should monitor for side effects like redness, burning, or irritation and discontinue if necessary.
