Skin Icing, Freeze For A Greater Radiance
Skin Icing, Freeze For A Greater Radiance
How cold are you willing to go in order to achieve your greatest glow?
Similarly coined as facial cryotherapy, the cooling trend has gained traction over the years for de-puffing, sculpting and refining the skin by using ice or cooling technology to tighten and contract the skin revealing a more contoured, plump and natural glow. The idea behind facial cryotherapy is for a cryo machine to blast freezing air (often liquid nitrogen) onto the skin to brighten, tighten and in some cases reduces fine lines and age spots. With no downtime, it is a facial that reaps direct and visible results immediately after the treatment. The ice-lift will instantly contour and drain away any puffiness as well as lift and rejuvenate the complexion.
Our Cryotherapy Energy Facial is uniquely designed to smooth, sculpt and soothe the skin. Using cold, purified air, the treatment includes an increased microcirculation to reduce any puffiness and detoxify the skin. By increasing the oxygen intake to the skin, the skin will appear firmer and brighter, counteracting tiredness as well as a puffy and lacklustre complexion.
For an at-home alternative, placing some eye masks in the fridge overnight and then applied to the under-eye area in the morning is the preferred cooling alternative. Our Sub-Zero De-Puffing Eye Masks is charged with Seaweed Extract to reduce inflammation and puffiness as well as focusing on alleviating dark circles and tightness around the under-eye area. In addition, the peptide complex strengthens the skin around the under eyes and reduces fine lines and wrinkles revealing a brighter and more resilient eye area.
A cooling at-home facial can also be beneficial with our Sub-Zero De-Puffing Energy Facial Mask that harnesses drainage-stimulating ingredients to de-puff and sculpt the skin. Formulated with a Tetrapeptide-5 to reduce puffiness and fight water retention as well as Caffeine to inject a brightness. Set apart on the market, the facial mask also contains Dawnergy, a leading peptide that increases the energy to the skin, sparking a smoothness and enhancing a natural radiance.
Seal in the ingredients of the mask after a 20-minute treatment with the Cryo Activating Hydra Gel, the lightweight gel texture combats irritation with soothing elements of Lotus Extract and Aloe Vera and similarly refines the skin’s surface and awakens a natural glow before applying any makeup.

If you were to advise a London guide, what would be on your list?
Well, As I grew up in Notting Hill, it will always have my heart and if I was recommending spots in London, a wander around Notting Hill would be high up on my list. From there it would be all the best shopping destinations, the iconic private members club, Annabels, Harrods and Liberty’s for any cute and unique gifts. I would always pop into 111CRYO at Harrods for the Cryo Facial and treatment for the ultimate recharge. Sometimes the city is great, but the beautiful secrets of the English countryside is something that should be experienced.
Your In-Flight Essentials?
I don’t have a routine per say and I am certainly not as thorough as Naomi Campbell but I would apply the Meso Infusion Lip Duo and I would always wipe my phone down with anti-bacterial wipes, in fact I do this every day, the bacteria build up is no good for the skin.
In terms of Industry, where do you see the hair industry going?
Well Instagram has changed so much and has impacted the way we consume and learn within the industry, especially with so many creatives, but I still find that a massive amount of people come to the professionals to share the knowledge on how to carry out or complete a desired look, more than ever there is power behind ‘how-to’ videos.
A very valid point and in terms of 2020?
In terms of what we are to see in 2020, things are going to be super creative and we will see a wider awareness for people doing their own thing and it will be expressive and artistic. People will move away from the overtly glamorous looks and will create looks they can tailor to their everyday. As it’s currently Award Season which is the busiest time of the year leading up to the Met Ball, hairstyles are certainly more elaborate, and everyone loves an up do. I would say the most timeless look has to be the blunt bob, it comes around year on year, but it is effortless and timeless.
Outside of hair, what other industries are you into?
I am hugely into Interiors and I would describe my style as 60s/70s glamour, think elaborate and dramatic but I often fantasise about 80s Dallas and Joan Collins and I have to reign myself in. I also love Baking; it is the ultimate way to relax and I find that it is my meditation and therapy. If I’m in the USA I would bake a lot of cookies as everyone is obsessed with then over here and in the UK, I would bake more traditional styles like a lemon tart or an apple tart – it allows for me to be creative outside of my job.
Finally, the best advice you have ever received?
It would have to be from my grandfather, he would often say to me “it’s not how well you’re doing but how well people think you’re doing”. I haven’t successfully implemented it however you can look to Instagram today and people see our work and are blown away by it, but we can be so hard on ourselves and not appreciate our own work ourselves.
