To sculpt the face…
“[This is] a great reshaping, remodeling treatment, and something I do in all my facials. After using devices to warm up and stimulate the muscles, like ultrasound and red LED, I heat up problem areas [to firm] with radio frequency, then shape the muscles with microcurrent. Finally, I use cryo or ice, as it seems to ‘freeze’ the firming and contouring effects of the devices, which makes it all last longer.”
The eye de-puffer…
“I love dandelion tea for de-puffing, so every time I make a cup, I stick the tea bag in the refrigerator (rather than the freezer) afterwards. Once they’re chilled, you can place them on your eyes and relax for a few minutes to take down any puffiness. I also love using ice cubes as a simple cryo treatment, but if you make them from chamomile or dandelion tea, you also get added draining and de-puffing benefits. I use a gauze or glass-cleaning cloth to wrap around a cube before rubbing it over my face. If you run an ice cube over your sheet mask, the cold helps seal in product ingredients, too. [Alternatively, apply] after an extraction to calm down any redness.”
