Skincare Break - Ice Elements

Is anyone else sick of the harsh winter we have had in the midwest? It has really taken a toll on my skin, which is why I was super excited to have been able to try out Ice Element's 2-Minute Miracle Exfoliating Gel. I was a little nervous at first, afraid that it was going to make me break out, but it's a lot more gentle than you would expect. Ice Elements gently exfoliates dead skin cells, removing dulling debris and excess oils, in a matter of minutes. It's a quick and effective, and easy to fit into my skincare routine.

How Do You Use It?
Ice Elements looks like purple hair gel! A little goes a long way. You put a thin layer on your face (or back of your hands if you want to test it out) and let it sit for about 1 minute. After a minute or so, rub gently in a circular motion and the gel should begin to liquefy. If it doesn't feel runny, wait another 15 seconds and start to rub again. Continue to rub to exfoliate skin. You should begin to feel the gel balling up, which is really pieces of dry skin! Rinse your face with lukewarm water and pat dry.

I saw a noticeable difference even after the first use. My skin was a little red the next day, but it went away that evening and was so soft.

You can purchase Ice Elements online. It retails at $29.95.

Ingredients: Stabilized Aloe Vera, Butylenes Glycol, Carbomer, Clycerin, Sodium Hydroxide, Hyaluronic Acid, Green Tea Extract, Burdock Root Extract, Ginseng Extract, Calendula, Benzophone 4, Propylene Glycol, Proplyparaben, Methylparaben, Diasolidnyl Urea, Cyanocobalamin
