Rose Water Ice Cube Cool-Down
Rose water is frozen into ice cubes and stroked over warm skin for about a minute. The cube keeps moving. This is a short cool-down, not a treatment for puffiness or redness.
About this rose water ice cube cool-down
Pour rose water into a clean ice tray and freeze it. The ice is only rose water, stroked over skin that feels warm. Keep the cube moving for about a minute in total. Holding ice still in one place can hurt even healthy skin.
A cool feel is all this offers. It does not bring down swelling, erase tired eyes, or treat flushed skin. Do not use it on broken skin, and do not drag a cube across the eyelids. If the skin goes numb or hurts, stop.
