A friend of mine told me yesterday that her grandmother used to massage her face every morning with ice. Apparently this is very good for the skin because it brings out all the dirt and gets the facial muscles active or something, and it helps fight against wrinkles (my friend has almost no wrinkles, so she seemed a pretty good advert for this pretty basic procedure).
Personally, I've always been far too lazy to use creams and make-up and all that, so I really have no idea about all this stuff. But I did try an ice massage this morning and it really felt good and very "fresh" (especially over my eyes - really woke me up!) and, of course, it's much cheaper than all those creams!
