Cold therapy for better skin

Cold therapy to beauty

Cold therapy has countless benefits. It strengthens the immune system by stimulating the production of white blood cells and thus increasing the body's resistance to inflammation. Thanks to Cold Therapy, you can improve your concentration and sleep. It contributes to reducing stress levels by increasing endorphin levels. But in addition, it has a number of benefits for our skin as well. What are they?

Benefits for the skin

Cold therapy, whether in the form of cold showers, ice baths or outdoor baths, can significantly increase blood circulation. Improved circulation means more efficient delivery of nutrients and oxygen to the skin cells, which promotes faster regeneration and improves the overall condition of the skin.

The cold stimulates the production of collagen, a key protein that keeps skin supple and youthful. Cold therapy can help prevent loss of skin elasticity and the signs of aging, meaning regular exposure to cold can contribute to more resilient and younger-looking skin.

Cold water has anti-inflammatory properties that can help reduce swelling and redness on the skin. Cold therapy can be helpful for those who suffer from acne or other skin problems associated with inflammation. Warm water, on the other hand, promotes inflammatory processes, so always prefer to use only lukewarm water when cleansing your skin. In the morning, give your face a final rinse with cold water, which also counteracts puffiness. You can also practice a short immersion of your face in water and repeat this several times in a row. After the skin has cooled down, a gua sha stone massage is recommended. This shock therapy is guaranteed to reduce swelling and get rid of a puffy face. In addition, swelling presses on the skin structures from within, contributing to skin sagging in the long term and thus the appearance of new wrinkles. They are often related to other problems, which it is advisable to consult a doctor and have targeted tests done.

For washing sensitive and problematic skin, we recommend our gentle Velvet Touch cleansing gel, which contains no SLS aggressive foaming agents. On the contrary, it is enriched with natural soapstone that gently lathers and does not dry out sensitive skin. It contains sea buckthorn and frankincense, which are anti-inflammatory, prevent the spread of bacteria and help heal acne. Don't forget to tone your skin. Our Rose Kiss toner contains probiotics and colloidal silver, which again have a positive effect on the condition of problematic skin and support its natural microbiome.
The cool water promotes the function of the lymphatic system, thus increasing the removal of toxic substances from the body. This can contribute to clearer and healthier skin, especially if hardening is combined with regular exercise and a balanced diet.

Cold therapy and cellulite

Cold therapy plays a role in reducing body fat and also affects its function. Body fat is divided into two types. White and brown, both of which have different functions.
Brown fat is a special type of fat cell that has the ability to burn energy and convert it into heat. This is important for maintaining body temperature, especially in newborns and hibernating animals. More recently, it has also been associated with weight control and metabolism. White fat is a common type of adipose tissue that is used to store energy. Excess calories are stored as fat in white fat cells.

Cold stimuli, such as ice baths or cold showers, can activate brown fat and increase its function. Activation of brown fat means the body tries to produce more heat, which requires burning calories. This can have a positive effect on weight loss and promote overall energy balance.
Cold therapy also affects white fat, one of the mechanisms of stimulation is the so-called "browning" of white fat, which means that white fat begins to acquire some of the properties of brown fat, such as the ability to burn calories and produce heat. This contributes not only to weight loss but also to the reduction of cellulite. Cold therapy promotes the removal of toxic substances and influences the proper distribution of fat. At the same time, we stimulate the production of collagen, which firms the skin and thus helps against unevenness.
