Cold immersion blunts the positives of resistance Training.
Ice baths for your face.
The “face dunk” trend - submerging your face in ice water for 10–30 seconds - is all over social media. Fans swear it de-puffs, tightens pores, and gives instant glow. One brand even released a Face Dunk Kit (which can cost up to $365!!) with a perfectly shaped bowl to make at-home cryo facials more Instagrammable [a “face dunk” video].
Our take: Whether it’s your face or full body, science does show that dunking in cold water drops skin temperature fast, triggers blood vessel constriction, calms inflammation, and can contribute to that “snatched” look [literature review]. But you don’t need a kit - or Saratoga water - to experience the benefits. Just a bowl, ice, regular old tap, and 10–30 seconds of bravery.
