Idea 12: Ice-Cooled Skin Prep Routine

Introduction (~200 words)

Cooling the skin before makeup reduces inflammation and redness. Acne flare-ups often appear angrier in heat, and chilled prep helps calm the surface. This technique improves makeup application and extends wear time in humid weather.

Cold therapy temporarily tightens pores and decreases swelling. When the skin is calm, makeup requires less coverage.
