What is a Fire and Ice Facial?
The legendary Fire and Ice Facial, sometimes also referred to as the Red-Carpet Facial, can be defined as a two-step chemical peel that is well known for its amazing results. Aptly called Fire and Ice because it combined heat and cooling to provide the desired results.
Here’s a quick breakdown of how it works:
- Fire mask (Resurfacing): In the first phase of this revolutionary process, a strong cinnamon-scented mask is applied to the face. This mixture contains acids such as citric, lactic, and glycolic, as well as retinol to create a warm (the fire aspect) sensation. During this process, the solution deeply exfoliates the dead skin cells. Pores are deep-cleaned.Â
- Ice mask (Rejuvenating): The second phase of the treatment involves applying a cooling, peppermint-scented mask that contains a mixture of aloe, hyaluronic acid, and antioxidants, which work well to soothe the skin. In addition to this, the solution deeply hydrates the skin and pores, reduces inflammation, and restores overall balance in the face skin.Â
- Finishing serums: Lastly, the final phase of the treatment involves adding moisturisers and serums specially chosen for your specific skin’s needs. This means that a finishing solution will be made based on whether the specialist needs to treat acne, add hydration, or combating aging. A final touch involves adding SPF to further protect your skin.Â
The Fire and Ice Facial is suitable for all skin types and ages. The primary goal of this treatment is to treat, reduce, and even eliminate uneven texture, dullness, acne, and help to reduce fine lines. Whether you’re looking for a quick skin rejuvenation or your skin needs a pick-me-up before a special occasion, the Fire and Ice Facial is perfect for you.
Rejuvenating and Refreshing
If you’ve never tried a professional facial, you may be wondering how the Fire and Ice Facial differs from the many others being advertised. Our team of skin care specialists have compiled a list of the top ways that this magical hot and cold treatment can benefit your skin.
1. Improves Skin Clarity and Overall Tone
One of the key reasons that people all around Australia are investing in this popular treatment is that it helps to manage the hyperpigmentation in some skin types. In addition to this, you will also see a reduction in dark spots, and it evens out your overall complexion.
2. Smooths Out Skin Texture
If you don’t exfoliate your skin often, bacteria and dead skin cells start building up and eventually make your skin look dull and flaky. This can lead to clogged pores, blackheads and acne, ingrown hairs and an uneven absorption of moisturisers. Not exfoliating your skin can leave you thinking that your skincare creams aren’t working.
Luckily, the “fire” phase of the Fire and Ice Facial is designed as a resurface mask which works to exfoliate dead skin cells, remove bacteria and refine any rough spots. Bacteria are removed, giving your skin a fresh, deep clean.
3. Hydrates Your Skin
Keeping your skin hydrated is essential to maintaining its elasticity. This means that the correct hydration will keep cells plump, and also help your skin stretch and snap back to minimise wrinkles and sagging. The “ice” phase of his facial works to rejuvenate your skin. Since it’s rich in botanicals and hyaluronic acid, it also soothes the skin and enhances moisture balance.
4. Clears Blemishes and Congestion
A stellar aspect of this facial is that it has remarkable exfoliating properties, which not only remove bacteria on the skin’s surface but also clear out pores, remove acne and can even reduce the appearance of acne scarring.
Keep in mind that for this to be lasting, you will need to make the Fire and Ice Facial part of your regular skin care routine. You can speak to your skin care specialist for advice on how often your skin needs to be treated.
