'I splash my face 25 times' - Jennifer Aniston reveals the ice facial routine she follows to 'tighten everything up'
The simple skincare hack takes no time at all - and won't cost you a penny


Jennifer Aniston has revealed the easy ice water skincare hack she uses to keep her skin 'tight' - and it's a great trick that will also give you a burst of energy in the mornings.
There are so many beauty tips and tricks that we've learnt from TikTok over the years, with our most recent favourite being the lightweight makeup trend that's influencing our look in 2025 - and it appears that Jennifer Aniston has been swayed by skincare content on the app too, just like we have.
In a recent interview with Allure, the actress was shown various videos of skincare hacks and routines from TikTok, and when one showing off an ice bath popped up, she excitedly exclaimed, "Oh! I do this!"
In the video, we watch as a woman dips her face into a large bowl of ice water, holds it there for 20 seconds before coming up to breathe, and then re-dips her face in four or five times.
But this isn't exactly what Jennifer does, she revealed. "Oh no! Not for 20 seconds," she laughed while watching the video. Then she explained, "What I do is, I get bowl and then fill it with ice. And then I splash my face 25 times."
But she did say that she was up for trying the different technique and would be trying it out 'immediately' when she got home - we imagine that by dipping your face rather than splashing it, you remove the possibility that any ice-cold water might land on your body and give you a chill!
It might seem, at first, like the ice bath is just another one of the craziest celebrity beauty rituals we hear about, but it does have a lot of benefits that not only Jennifer but also experts rave about.

"It wakes you up [and] gives you a little burst of energy," Jennifer explained. "I think it's good for your pores - [it] tightens everything up. So, who doesn't want everything tightened? Keep it tight!"
Using ice-cold water on your face can also help to calm inflamed skin and reduce redness caused by irritation. Plus, the cooling effect adds radiance and helps soothe the skin - so it's a real all-rounder hack.
Even woman&home Beauty Channel Editor, Fiona McKim, is a fan, "cold temperatures in any guise (be that ice, chilled rollers or cold water) are a puff-prone girl's best friend. I should know - I'm the queen of puffy eyes, and the chill plus massage effect of my trusty Kitsch Ice Facial Roller instantly perks up my tired, hot morning eyes and helps drain away fluid that's built up overnight."
Some even take it one step further and have ice baths! When woman&home tried it out a few years ago, we found that taking a cooling ice bath every day could reduce menopause symptoms like hot flashes and had a great relieving effect on aching joints and muscles - that's if you're willing to brave the cold, though! We might just stick to splashing our faces with icy water, at least until the weather warms up.
Or you could try out some of the many more convenient and less messy tools that deliver the same ice-cold effect to your skin as an ice bath would - from ice rollers to cooling eye patches, there's plenty of choice.
