Skincare CEO, 41, reveals ice trick for a glowy face: ‘If it’s good enough for models, it’s good enough for me’
A SKINCARE guru has revealed her go-to method for a youthful appearance that doesn't break the bank.
The tried-and-true trick is a common practice among many models, so it's good enough for her.
Olga Parno, the founder of clean skincare brand Masktini, has seen her fair share of beauty troubles.
Speaking to The U.S. Sun, she admitted that she currently has combination skin at 41 years old.
"I try to pick products that help with boosting collagen production, evening out my skin tone, and protecting from environmental pollution," she said.
They also have hydrating and plumping effects.
DIY DERMA
Although Parno has her own beauty brand, there is one free anti-aging technique she does often.
"I am a fan of icing my face. It’s incredible for reducing puffiness and giving your complexion a nice, overall glow," she said.
All you need is a bowl filled with ice cubes and water.
Submerge your face in the ice water for a few seconds and repeat as needed.
"It works wonders, especially in the morning when you can sometimes wake up looking puffy from poor sleep or a late night," she added.
Models are known to ice their faces and demonstrate the method consistently on social media.
"If it’s good enough for models, it’s definitely good enough for me! she explained.
PERSONAL PICKS
"I personally prefer great skincare products that I know are specifically formulated to address my skin concerns instead of mixing something in the kitchen," she said.
It's uncommon to find a product that addresses all of these concerns so effectively, but Parno recommended Masktini’s Hush Money Intensive Restorative Crème because it "does do it all."
"It’s the best thing you could treat yourself to if you’re concerned about premature aging as it’s formulated with eleven active ingredients to firm, brighten, hydrate, and protect," she explained.
The cream works well with all skin types, doesn’t clog pores, and absorbs quickly.

Parno said it ensures that "you wake up with a gently resurfaced and renewed complexion."
