Rubbing ice over face is good idea.It reduces redness, swelling, and inflammation.With regular application, ice keeps pores small so they’re less likely to get clogged. This also makes skin firmer and smoother. It diminishes the size of skin pores by constricting the blood vessels underneath the skin . Smaller, tighter pores means bacteria are less likely to get in and cause infections that lead to acne.It washes away dirt, dead skin cells, and other impurities that clog pores.Ice makes the surface of the skin more permeable so that topical acne treatments become more effective.Ice relieves pain, itching, and burning.
