The most basic way to apply ice to the skin is when you use an ice cube to reduce puffiness under dark circles or on your face. It's long been a staple in skincare (we've all used a cold spoon or cucumber slices on our eyes, right?). Far from being advice from our grandmothers, there's science behind this ancient tip. When ice is applied to the skin, it causes blood to rush to the surface (imagine that rosy glow your skin has in winter), which soothes and tightens the skin.

Ice has long been a secret to achieving the ideal glow and a healthy appearance. It's said that Russian Empress Catherine the Great applied ice cubes to her face, neck, and décolletage every morning to give her skin a radiant appearance. While expensive facials and complicated skincare tools have their place, sometimes the simplest tricks are classics for a reason.

Kubi Beauty is a brand that created a silicone mold for skin icing . With this tool, you can easily include this wonderful step of ice therapy in your skincare routine.
