Using ice on your face can do wonders for your skin. Take it from Cheree Brown, a dedicated nurse who is always looking out for her patients.
When her skin needs a pick-me-up, she reaches for her frozen face masks, which give her an instant glow, while keeping her skin hydrated and nourished.
@nursingmyskin Never underestimate the power of a face mask to lift the mood. This frozen one is divine and is from Synth Labs Intl. #facemask #selfcare #ausbeautyblogger #hydratedskin #frozenfacemasks #thepowerofselfcare #girlthings #imjustagirl ♬ Just A Girl – No Doubt

18. Crystal (@cwystall)
If you are one of the few people who don’t think snail mucin is doing much for your skin (despite the hype), Crystal has your back.
Here, she compares snail mucin against essence against bean essence. The latter has transformed her skin, making it hydrated and super glowy.
@cwystall I used to use the cosrx snail mucin daily but never really saw a difference in my skin, but recently ive been using the bean essence every day and I can see it looks smoother, more even, and I love that it doubles as an exfoliator!! #vegansnailmucin #beanessence #koreanskincare #kbeauty #mixsoon #cosrx #snailmucin #kbeautyskincare #skincare ♬ Ghibli-style nostalgic waltz(806744) – MaSssuguMusic
