3 days to go: Rub ice before bed

Rub an ice cube on your face every night, before bed. It helps control excess sebum production and keep acne at bay. Plus, it adds a natural glow and reduces puffiness and eye bags too. For extra beauty benefits, you can make milk ice cubes or green tea cubes and massage it on your face to get instant glow and ward off uninvited pimples. Also, make sure you get enough beauty sleep.
