Applying ice to a pimple can help reduce swelling and inflammation, but it's important to do it correctly to avoid damaging your skin.
Here's how long you should ice a pimple:
- Apply ice for one-minute increments only. You can try this for one minute after your morning and evening face cleanses.
- For multiple pimples, consider making a bigger ice pack or use a cold compress.
- If your pimple is extremely inflamed, you can follow up with multiple increments, but make sure you leave about five minutes in between each minute.
Remember, ice is not a cure for acne. It's best to consult a dermatologist for personalized advice and treatment options.
