A member asked:
Is ice or steam heat better for the absorption of skincare products? i saw a video of someone rubbing their face with a large block of ice for glowy skin & other. wouldn't ice restrict the pores and prevent product absorption or am i missing sumthin?

The combination of heat and moisture definitely enhances the effect of skin care products.

I agree with you. Ice would not increase absorption of topical medications. Heat, however, would.
