Increase Blood Flow & Detox Your Skin With Fire & Ice At-Home Spa Treatment
This article was updated on 2/3/2024.
Do you know how much it costs to keep your skin looking bright, clear, and radiant? If you rely on spa visits to fight signs of aging and revitalize your tired skin, you can’t escape for less than $150… if you’re lucky!
But that’s just for one visit. Your skin needs more than one sporadic treatment every month or two to look its best. That leaves you with two options: blow your budget by visiting the spa twice a month, or find a home spa alternative that delivers even better results.
I chose the second option, but I didn’t just find a home spa alternative. I created one! Fire and Ice is a breakthrough two-step facial treatment formulated to increase blood flow to your most delicate facial tissues and detox the skin.
You might think that standard skincare products rarely boast “increased blood flow” as their most important benefit. The claims scrawled across toners, moisturizers, and cleansers usually promise smooth, soft, and supple skin, but they never bother to explain exactly how that’s possible.
Healthy skin can’t thrive without strong blood circulation. So, I created Fire and Ice to address this underlying cause of anti-aging that few people even realize is the culprit for dull, sluggish, wrinkled skin.
Why Is it Important to Increase Blood Flow to Your Face?
Blood circulation is the cornerstone of every other function in your body. When blood circulates properly, it delivers essential nutrients and oxygen to cells and tissues throughout your body. Once cells are fully nourished, blood flow removes cell waste to detox the skin.
All of this means that without strong circulation, your skin suffers from oxygen and nutrient deficiency while also accumulating harmful toxins and waste products. It’s a true double whammy that gives your skin an “un-makeover”; poor blood circulation ages your appearance and causes the following unwanted effects:
- Unattractive skin tone with a dull complexion develops due to lack of nutrients, oxygen, minerals.
- Skin discoloration like dark spots and uneven skin tone form as a result of low oxygen levels in skin cells.
- Acne and inflammation develop from toxic buildup and congestion in the skin tissue.
- Wrinkles become deeper with chronic inflammation.
- Dark eye circles define exhausted skin due to poor oxygen flow and increased water retention.
Worse yet, inefficient blood circulation stunts other critical processes like collagen and elastin production. Collagen and elastin support strong, firm skin. The less your skin produces, the faster it sags and surrenders to the forces of gravity. That’s not what you want!
Fortunately, poor circulation is within your control to improve, especially when you have Fire and Ice as your secret weapon.
How Does Fire and Ice Increase Blood Flow and Detox Skin?
Fire and Ice gives you the perfect balance of hot and cold with two separate applications. Each part of this home spa treatment has a unique purpose. Fire instantly revitalizes your skin with warmth to increase blood flow, then Ice follows it to deliver a detoxifying cool down.
Fire Helps Increase Blood Flow
The ingredients blended together to create Fire weren’t chosen at random. Argan oil, jojoba oil, cayenne pepper, palmarosa essential oil, Peru balsam essential oil, and petitgrain essential oil work in harmony to trigger accelerated blood flow and circulation to the skin.
Cayenne Pepper
If you thought cayenne pepper was only for the kitchen, you thought wrong. Research proves that cayenne pepper, through its active ingredient capsaicin, has the potential to promote vascular and metabolic health. Experts recommend adding it to food, but the topical applications are even more impressive.
When cayenne pepper interacts with your skin, its heat quickly stimulates blood flow and draws oxygen and essential nutrients to your face. This gives your skin cells the nourishment they’ve been craving and preps it for a rigorous skin detox. You’ll feel an instant change to the overall feel of your face!
Argan and Jojoba Oil
Argan and jojoba oil are gentle yet powerful oils that create the base of Fire. Argan oil is well known for its ability to naturally moisturize the skin thanks to its abundance of vitamin E. It’s been used for thousands of years to heal skin infections, soothe dermatitis, and keep the skin looking youthful.
Jojoba oil also offers impressive anti-inflammatory properties. It balances the skin’s natural oil production and even cures breakouts by blocking the growth of harmful bacteria.
Essential Oils
You may not recognize the essential oils included in the Fire formula. Palmarosa, Peru balsam, and petitgrain aren’t as common as lavender and chamomile, but they’re every bit as valuable.
Palmarosa essential oil offers moisturizing and antibacterial properties that make it perfect for eczema, acne, and other frustrating skin conditions. As the cayenne pepper in Fire goes to work boosting circulation, palmarosa monitors cell regeneration and sebum production to maximize rejuvenation.
Peru balsam is similar to palmarosa because it nourishes, soothes, and smooths dry, wrinkled skin. Its emollient properties help trap water inside the skin to prevent moisture loss. Petitgrain supplements Peru balsam with its antiseptic and tonic properties that tone and tighten your fresh, moisturized skin.
Ice Helps Detox Skin
After you enjoy the buzz of warm skin and strong blood flow, the application of Ice will remind your cells and tissues to remove the waste standing between your skin and flawless radiance.
The following natural ingredients detox skin to create a cleaner, smoother complexion that looks years younger.
Avocado Oil
Forget about avocado toast and embrace avocado oil instead. This oil contains antioxidant agents that boost collagen production, which gradually increases the strength and elasticity of your skin. Avocado oil is also rich in plant sterolins, components shown in research to possess important anti-inflammatory properties.
If all of this wasn’t already enough to vow your loyalty to avocado oil, consider these other impressive skincare benefits:
- Keeps skin soft and moisturized with the fatty acid lecithin
- Contains high levels of vitamins A and E to protect skin cells from free radical damage
- Offers emollient properties that moisturize dry, damaged, and dehydrated skin
You might think avocado oil is powerful enough to transform your skin alone, but Ice doesn’t stop there.
Pomegranate Oil
A great deal of research suggests the varied therapeutic powers of pomegranate oil, including for the skin. Its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities neutralize free radicals threatening to create signs of premature aging on your skin.
Walnut Oil
Walnut oil is one of the most powerful wrinkle fighters available. Its high content of vitamins and proteins makes walnut oil tailor-made to fight signs of aging and improve the overall health of your skin. The antioxidants in walnut oil combat the types of cell damage that increase the aging process. Meanwhile, a surplus of vitamins B1, B2, B3, E, and niacin create the perfect environment to boost skin texture.
Tamanu Oil
This incredible oil has been used by Pacific Island and Asian cultures for hundreds of years, and for good reason! Extracted from the seeds that grow on the tamanu evergreen nut tree, tamanu oil lends its regenerative properties to your skin to produce healthier, younger-looking skin tissue. Whether you’re coping with acne, scarring, eczema, age spots, or any other imperfections, tamanu oil can quickly revive your complexion.
Baobab Oil
This isn’t just a hard-to-pronounce word. It’s also a highly moisturizing and soothing oil brimming with vitamins A, D, E, and F. These nutrients stimulate the cell renewal process and fight free radicals to prevent skin damage and signs of aging.
Baobab oil also sets itself apart from other oils because it contains omega 3, 6, and 9 fatty acids. There’s no shortage of research on the therapeutic benefits of these healthy fats on the skin. With these perks, you’ll be tempted to swim in a pool baobab oil because it:
- Improves skin elasticity
- Supports cell regeneration
- Enhances skin tone
- Soothes inflamed and irritated skin
Sea Buckthorn Oil
This little-known therapeutic oil is a skincare treasure. It’s extracted from the berries, leaves, and seeds of the sea buckthorn plant found in the high altitudes of the Himalayan region and salty soils of the Baltic coast.
Sea buckthorn oil is packed with vitamins A, C, E, and B complex, just to name a few. This means it can do everything from regenerate prematurely aging skin and revitalize dull complexion to protect against harmful UV rays.
Menthol Crystals
The menthol crystals give Ice its name. When topically applied to your skin, it creates a cooling sensation that enhances Fire’s effect of increased circulation and encourages your skin cells to release toxins and achieve a cleansing skin detox.
Manuka
This powerful antibacterial, anti-fungal, and anti-inflammatory is nothing short of magic. Obtained from the leaves of the native New Zealand Manuka tree, this essential oil adds to Ice’s powerful results by reducing scars and age spots and promoting growth and regeneration of skin cells. It even has the potential to prevent UV damage like wrinkles and other signs of premature aging.
Galbanum
Are you starting to see a pattern? Ice follows Fire with an impressive and unbeatable combination of potent skincare ingredients. Galbanum essential oil is no exception! This cicatrisant helps diminish scars and marks left on your skin by past acne, pox, or age spots. As fresh new tissues replace your old and damaged cells, you’ll look (and feel) like an entirely new person.
Essential Oils
Other essential oils like myrtle, myrtus, ylang-ylang, cistus, elemi, and sandalwood round out the extensive list of therapeutic ingredients packed into the Ice formula. Every essential oil offers its own unique benefits. Overall though, you can expect them to improve the structure and appearance of your skin, target unsightly wrinkles, promote circulation, and create a natural facelift effect.
How to Add Fire and Ice To Your Skincare Routine
It couldn’t be easier to add Fire and Ice to your skincare routine for some much-deserved home spa pampering. Choose one or two nights a week to skip your normal bedtime serum and moisturizer and replace them with a Fire and Ice treatment.
Clean your skin with your favorite natural cleanser, pat dry, and use your normal face toner. Now it’s time to apply 1-2 drops of Fire to your forehead, cheeks, and chin. That’s all it takes!
You’ll experience a pleasant hot sensation for the next 15 to 20 minutes as the cayenne pepper gets to work boosting your circulation. Blood will eagerly travel to areas of your skin it has been neglecting for far too long.
After 15 minutes has elapsed, apply just one drop of Ice to your cheek, one drop to your forehead, and one drop to your chin. Never wash off Fire; just apply Ice on top to enjoy the interaction between the two formulas. Gently massage Ice into your skin and enjoy the cooling effect.
That’s it — you’re done! Your face will buzz from the combination of stronger circulation and thorough skin detox all night long. You don’t need moisturizer unless you want it, but you’ve seen from the ingredients list that Fire and Ice are overflowing with moisturizing oils.
The Best Products to Enhance Fire and Ice Home Spa Treatment
Fire and Ice delivers a true home spa experience at a fraction of the price of day spas. To get the most bang for your buck, try pairing Fire and Ice with the following skincare products. You’ll practically be able to watch as a time machine subtracts years from your face!
Earth Face Wash
What ingredients does your current face wash include? If I had to guess, I’d say benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, and sodium lauryl sulfate. Ew, ew, and ew. Just like standard toothpaste products are brimming with toxins that hurt your mouth more than they help it, traditional face wash formulas leach hydration and nourishment from your skin instead of improving your complexion.
However, Earth Face Wash isn't your "normal" face wash.
This product is made to be gentle enough to clean the daily grime from your skin without harming the natural oils that protect your skin. This helps your face and neck looking and feeling hydrated, youthful, and healthy. Ingredients like White Kaolin clay, French green clay, organic grapefruit peel, organic honey, and organic lavender work miracles on your skin.
By swapping your chemical-based face wash with Earth Face Wash and its rich “skin food” ingredients, your daily washing routine will nourish your skin with everything it needs to reverse and prevent signs of aging and skin damage.
The Face Sculptor
If there’s one change you can make to your daily routine, make it the addition of the Face Sculptor! I recommend this product to everybody who will listen. The Face Sculptor is a handheld device that uses EMS micro-current to awaken skin, clear pores, lift facial contours, and reduce lines.
Use the Face Sculptor after applying Earth Face Wash, Fire and Ice, or your daily serum to maximize the use of its micro-currents to reach deep down into your skin to stimulate significant anti-aging action including:
- Collagen production. The Face Sculptor stimulates facial muscles, which triggers collagen production.
- Removal of dead skin cells. Dead skin cells are swept away with the Face Sculptor. It’s like a mini-exfoliation session as healthy, youthful skin surfaces to replace the dead and damaged skin.
- Improved absorption of serums. The Face Sculptor also opens your pores so your skin is ready to greedily absorb every bit of face serum you apply.
The Face Sculptor will leave your skin feeling lifted, healthy, glowing, and youthful.
A Home Spa With Better Results Than a Real Spa
What would you say to a product that promises tone, tighten, and lift your facial tissues, improve circulation, stimulate collagen production, enhance skin tone and texture, eliminate congested pores, and make your acne disappear?
Would you laugh and say it’s impossible? Or would you scoff and insist it’s only available for celebrities who can afford thousand dollar treatments?
Now you’ve seen exactly what Fire and Ice has to offer, and you know that it really is possible to find a single product that delivers those results. In just 20 minutes a day, once or twice a week, you can give your skin everything it needs (and everything it never knew it needed!) to look years younger and infinitely healthier.
It’s just like Celia, a new Fire and Ice user, explained: “I used to be a spa junkie! I have done numerous spa treatments and I can tell you they are costly. I don’t often write reviews, but this product is totally a WOW product! I see a difference every time I use it. I can tell you it is better than my treatment at the spa — and so much less expensive.”
Think of Fire and Ice as your all-in-one ticket to facial rejuvenation and skin detox. It’s quick, affordable, and done from the comfort of your own home. Better yet, Fire and Ice includes powerful, natural ingredients that most spas can’t even offer. If you’re trying to work smarter, not harder for radiant skin, Fire and Ice is the ultimate solution.
