Soothe angry inflammed skin: quickly, easily and naturally
Recently, I was consulting with a client that wanted a more natural way to treat a red, inflamed patch on her skin. I recommended she start with the estheticans GO-TO, 1st step treatment, before she do anything else.Can you guess what it is?
ICE!
That's it. Just putting ice on any angry patch of skin, for up to 10 minutes, 3 times a day, should calm it right down. If after a 3 days the skin hasn't calmed down, then its time to switch to stronger treatment options and check with your M.D.
At the spa, we have these convenient, sterilizable, Cold Beauty Globes. They are lovely! If you would like your very own pair, we can easily order a set for you. They come in convenient, unbreakable plastic or stay-cold longer, glass globes.
Mom had a great and handy trick that can save you money in a pinch. Make your very own, reusable, Cold Ice Balloons. It's quick, easy and best of all COSTS PENNIES!
Ingredients:
