So simple, so square, need it do anything more than chill your evening cocktail? Maybe not, but the magic of the ice cube is that it does! I was given this tip by an esthetician I saw earlier this year and I’ve passed it on to a friend and she delightedly reports that it totally works for her.

You know when you feel a sore spot on your face and you think there’s a whopper coming? That’s exactly the time you pull out this baby. Before that spot has any kind of head, when it’s still just a barely noticeable pink bump. Apply the ice cube and this fetal zit won’t become the bane of your morning makeup routine. Placing ice on a soon-to-pimple once or twice a day, as soon as you feel the pain of infection, actually stalls the infection that could someday become a whitehead (that is, if you weren’t so vigilant!). I’m going to try it tonight with this tiny one I’ve got brewing on my lip…
