Ransack your cupboards for liquid soft gel vitamin E, toothpicks, and green tea packets. Then watch this video by Michelle Phan to learn how to make popsicles for your face - in effect, an ice facial.
Ice Facials are very popular in Asia. Korean actresses swear by rubbing ice cubes on their face to achieve that beautiful radiant glow. This will help reduce morning facial swelling and help constrict large pores without using chemical toners.
Usually in the morning or whenever you wake up from sleeping horizontally, your interstitial fluid, or body fluid, gets redistributed, mostly through the lymphatic system.
