Acne can be challenging to get rid of, but it does not bother them - they just show up! Natural skin treatments have gained popularity and ice is one of them. How it works?

Applying ice to acne prone skin seems like a simple process, but there are some specifics to consider before applying it.

Before placing the ice on the skin, wrap it with a thin cloth. You can also use a cold compress instead.

Apply ice to acne for just one minute. You can put it on for a minute after cleansing your face in the morning and in the evening. If the acne is extremely irritating, you can keep it even longer - just make sure to wait about five minutes before applying it again. This helps prevent skin damage.

Sometimes ice can work well to treat acne when used in conjunction with warm treatments, such as compresses or steam towels. By using warm treatments initially, you can help remove any residue that is clogged in the pores.

After applying the heat for 5 to 10 minutes, you can then continue to ice for a minute to reduce inflammation and swelling.

What do you need to know before trying this method? Stop using ice immediately and call your doctor if you notice:

- redness
- blisters
- long
- term numbness - changes in skin color
