Even after a diligent pm routine, some mornings our skin can look as tired as we may feel. If attempts to conceal the fatigue the next day aren’t working, your visage may require an extra jolt. As a mum of two-year-old twins, I know these mornings well. But there’s a new way to perk up: cryotherapy – the beauty equivalent of a venti-sized cold brew.
At its most basic, cryotherapy is the employment of cold for the treatment of skin conditions. The oldest application by doctors, dating back to at least the 1950s, is the use of liquid nitrogen to treat issues such as warts or sun spots. You may have heard of it recently because your favourite athlete or influencer took a turn in a full-body cryotherapy pod. The technology has been gaining popularity as a way to help enhance recovery after injuries – just spend a few minutes in a chamber of dry found whole-body cryotherapy to have no significant effect on athletic performance.)
