Do you wake up with a puffy feeling around your eyes or on your face?
This ice facial will soon be your new best friend!
Ice Facial is becoming a popular morning skincare routine addition because of its ability to eliminate skin puffiness especially around the eyes, reduce oiliness, soothe acne, sunburn, swelling, and inflammation, reduce signs of aging, and boost skin’s healthy glow.
Simply Earth’s Depuff Ice Facial recipe is a sure step up from the usual ice facial technique. We’ve added great all-natural ingredients that will boost this recipe’s effectiveness in improving your skin. This will be a fun addition to your skincare routine!
What I Love About This Ice Facial Recipe

What’s in This Depuff Ice Facial Recipe
Full Fat Coconut Milk
Full fat coconut milk is rich in healthy saturated fatty acids, proteins, and vitamin C and E2, which are all amazing for the skin. It helps nourish, moisturize, and soothe dry and irritated skin while maintaining skin elasticity. This ingredient also helps dilute the essential oils in this recipe to make it safe for topical use.
Rose Clay
We love using Rose (or pink) Clay for our DIY skincare products. It is rich in natural minerals and has skin-soothing, anti-inflammatory, and balancing properties3 that make it great for the skin. Rose Clay is also one of the most gentle clays, meaning it is suitable even to those with dry and sensitive skin.
Frankincense Essential Oil
Frankincense Essential Oil is already a known ingredient in skincare products. It can improve the appearance of skin by treating dry skin, evening out skin tone, and reducing the appearance of fine lines, age spots, and scars4.
Orange Essential Oil
Orange Essential Oil has incredible antimicrobial properties that can treat skin conditions such as acne5. It is also rich in antioxidants and vitamin C, which helps defend skin from free radicals and other harmful external factors, resulting in a smooth, soft and plumped skin.
