Cold showers, ice cubes on the face, cooling masks – cold therapies in beauty are everywhere right now. But what's really behind it? We explain the science behind cold care and show you how to use it correctly.
What does cold do to the skin?
When cold meets the skin, the blood vessels initially contract. As soon as the skin warms up again, they dilate – and blood flows with fresh nutrients and oxygen into the skin layers. This effect:
- Reduces swelling and redness
- Refines the complexion (pores appear smaller)
- Activates the complexion – instant glow effect
- Has an anti-inflammatory effect on acne and irritations
Ice Mask: The elegant solution
The Nuvalis Ice Mask can be stored in the refrigerator or briefly in the freezer and used as needed. Compared to ice cubes directly on the skin, it is gentler, more even, and more pleasant to use. Ideal after a long day, for redness, or simply in the morning for a fresh appearance.
How to use cold care correctly
- Place the Ice Mask in the refrigerator for 15–20 minutes.
- Apply it to your face for 5–10 minutes.
- Afterward, apply moisturizer – cold can dry out the skin a bit.
- Do not use for more than 15 minutes at a time – especially on sensitive skin.
Who is cold care suitable for?
Basically for all skin types – but particularly effective for:
- Oily or blemish-prone complexion
- Swollen eyelids in the morning
- Red or irritated skin
- Before an important appointment for an immediate fresh kick
Conclusion
Cold is one of the underestimated tools in skincare. Simple, fast, and with an instantly visible effect. The Nuvalis Ice Mask makes cold care a pleasant routine instead of an ordeal.
