The benefits of cold on skin firmness and elasticity
The use of cold to improve the firmness and elasticity of the skin is well established. By activating microcirculation and stimulating collagen production, it firms skin tissues. The Niuk applicator, thanks to its cryotherapy effect at -18°C, uses these principles to tone and revitalize the skin. By causing vasoconstriction and then vasodilation, it improves blood circulation and promotes the penetration of the active ingredients of serums, for a firmer and more radiant skin.

The use of cold to improve the firmness and elasticity of the skin is now well established. This process, often used in dermatology, activates microcirculation and stimulates collagen production, thus improving skin texture. The Niuk applicator, by exploiting these principles, integrates perfectly into a beauty routine to tone and firm the skin. Come on, I'll explain everything to you (or almost)!
Cold, collagen unbooster for firm skin
We know: the firmness of the skin is above all a matter of collagen. Collagen is what gives our face that bouncy and elastic appearance that we love. But now, after 25 years, our collagen production decreases. Fortunately, the extreme cold can help to restart this natural machine. Studies have shown that exposure to intense cold stimulates fibroblasts, these cells that produce collagen, thus boosting skin firmness.
When you apply care to your skin with our Niuk iced applicator, you help to firm the tissues. The intense cold causes a contraction of the blood vessels (vasoconstriction), followed by dilation (vasodilation). This process improves blood circulation, nourishes the skin in depth, and stimulates collagen production. In short, it's like a natural mini-lift, with maxi effects (to learn more: The effects of cold ball massage on collagen production).
Cold, an ally of dry skin and oily skin
Whether you have oily or dry skin, extreme cold is beneficial for all skin types. If you have oily skin or acne skin, the cold helps regulate sebum production and tighten pores. Niuk is also preparing a special serum for acne, we will have the opportunity to talk about it again... And for those who are looking for the best of the moisturizer for combination skin, combining a moisturizer with cold mattifies the skin while avoiding shine. In addition, the cold helps to clean the skin in depth, eliminating impurities and reducing redness.
For dry skin that lacks elasticity, cold improves hydration by helping the active ingredients of your care to penetrate deep, and strengthens the skin barrier, thus preventing water loss. By using the best moisturizer for dry skin with a touch of cold, you help preserve hydration throughout the day. Result? A beautiful well-hydrated and radiant skin (to learn more: How Niuk redefines the way to take care of her skin).
The elasticity regained thanks to the cold
For those looking for smooth skin, extreme cold is an ideal solution. An icy tool like Niuk helps stimulate elasticity by activating collagen production and increasing skin oxygenation. The cold tones the tissues and gives a real boost to skin care. You will notice that your skin appears more tense, plumper, and much brighter.
Dull skin, often dehydrated, particularly benefits from the effect of the cold. Combined with a good skin cleansing and a vitamin C serum, specially developed for oily skin, it is the perfect recipe to say goodbye to the fatigue of the complexion and obtain a beautiful radiant skin. But be careful to favor products recommended and certified by Niuk! To avoid disillusions and especially obtain convincing results, Niuk serums have all been designed to be optimized under the effect of cold but also to be compatible with the Niuk applicator (to learn more: The virtues of cold on the well-being and radiance of your skin).
CONCLUSION. Finally, integrating cold into your skin care with the Niuk has only advantages. Whether you have oily, dry skin, or dull skin, extreme cold is a natural booster for firmness and radiance. So, are you ready to integrate Niuk and its intense cold into your routine to have smooth and luminous skin? Because after all, a little thrill for perfect skin is worth it, right?
