If there’s one thing we know about Jennifer Aniston, it’s that she doesn’t age. The Friends star has somehow managed to maintain that iconic, fresh-faced glow for decades. While we would love to believe it is just good genes, Aniston does have a few good skincare tricks. And the best part? She believes in the idea of "The Simpler, The Better.". From sticking to a sunscreen like a kid to a chocolate to owning some amazing at-home skincare gadgets, Aniston absolutely loves basking in the sun for that precious Vitamin D.
However, her favourite? A skin-tightening hack that is as simple as it is—well—freezing. She owes it to Joan Crawford! "..... just get a bowl of ice water and splash your face 25 times," Aniston told Vogue. And like a lot of us would sometimes get it all wrong, Aniston got it wrong too. She once had a laser treatment that just "bloodied her face for about a month". "It was way too aggressive, and that’s when I realised that what might work in the short term can be damaging in the long run." A lesson for all of us to learn.
So, what does Aniston's beauty secret involve?
Aniston’s fun little beauty secret involves nothing more than a bowl, some ice, and a bit of determination. "I take a bowl, I fill it with ice, and I splash my face 25 times," she revealed, adding that it gives her an instant boost of energy and "tightens everything up." If you’ve ever dunked your face into a sink full of ice cubes, you know it is not for the faint of heart. But according to Aniston, it is totally worth it.
So, what exactly makes this icy splash-fest so effective? Let’s break down the benefits of dipping (or dousing) your face in ice water.
1. Instantly Tightens Skin
Cold temperatures constrict blood vessels, which can help reduce puffiness and give your skin a firmer, more lifted look. It’s like a mini facelift—minus the needles.
2. Reduces Puffiness and Under-Eye Bags
Did you wake up looking like you pulled an all-nighter (even though you were in bed by 10)? A quick dip in icy water can help. The cold reduces swelling and inflammation, making it a go-to trick for those stubborn under-eye bags.
3. Gives Skin a Healthy Glow
While it might sound the opposite, ice water can actually boost circulation. The initial shock causes blood to rush to the skin’s surface, delivering oxygen and nutrients for that natural, radiant glow.
4. Shrinks Pores and Controls Oil
Enlarged pores and oily skin? Not on Aniston’s watch. Cold water helps tighten pores, making them appear smaller, while also reducing excess oil production.
5. Wakes You Up (Better Than Coffee)
If Aniston's splashing habit sounds like a shock to the system, that’s because it is. But in the best way! Cold water jumpstarts your circulation, making you feel more alert and refreshed—like a morning espresso, but for your face.
