Dunk your face into a bowl of ice water for 15 seconds. The Scandi morning splash that the New York Times rediscovered. The de-puffer with the lowest barrier to entry in this entire catalog.
How It Works
Cold water constricts superficial blood vessels and lymphatic channels. The brief vasoconstriction reduces puffiness; the rebound vasodilation brings a fresh flush and a genuinely alert feeling.
What to Expect
One bowl of ice water. Plunge your face in, 15 seconds. Surface up gasping. Do it again if you can stand it. Skin looks plumper and less puffy.
