Vanityfair - Frozen Cucumber, the Iced Cucumber Trend

The November issue of Vanityfair features Image Regenerative Clinic and the Frozen Cucumber trend gaining popularity on TikTok. Our Dr. Caterina Bristot emphasizes that "While cucumber possesses undeniable beneficial properties, primarily nutritional, treating the skin, especially when reddened or inflamed, with DIY methods like rubbing frozen cucumber on the face can be counterproductive and worsen the condition..."

It is crucial to emphasize that skin treatment, particularly in cases of inflammatory conditions or irritation, requires a professional and personalized approach. Direct application of frozen elements on the skin can cause microtrauma, excessive vasoconstriction, and potential damage to the skin barrier. For dermatological issues, it is always advisable to consult a specialist who can prescribe targeted and safe treatments.
