What is a Fire and Ice Facial?
The Fire and Ice Facial is an intensive clinical treatment that combines warming and cooling sensations to revitalize your skin. The “Red-Carpet Facial” works in two parts:
- Fire: The first masque exfoliates and resurfaces the skin.
- Ice: The second masque hydrates and soothes the skin.
Part I: FIRE
The “Fire” phase of the treatment gently yet thoroughly exfoliates and resurfaces the skin. It reveals a smooth, polished layer — without the residual peeling of other exfoliants.
Part II: ICE
Next comes the “Ice” phase — a nourishing, hydrating blend of anti-inflammatory ingredients that cool and calm your skin. The soothing bio-nutrients provide a beautiful plump and glowy finish to your resurfaced skin.
What is in a Fire and Ice Facial?
The Fire and Ice Facial uses two main masques by iS Clinical Professional. The first is The Intensive Resurfacing Masque (Fire). The second is the Rejuvenating Masque (Ice).
Fire: Intensive Resurfacing Masque
- 18% Glycolic Acid (Sugarcane Extract): Exfoliates and smoothes your skin.
- 2.0% Camellia Sinensis (Green Tea Leaf Extract): Provides anti-inflammatory benefits and prevents DNA damage by counteracting oxidative stress.
- 0.5% Retinol (Vitamin A): Research shows that retinol can help reduce fine lines and wrinkles by supporting collagen synthesis and wound healing.
- 0.5% Niacinamide (Vitamin B3): Promotes microcirculation and supports cellular metabolism, meaning it helps your skin cells function properly.
Ice: Rejuvenating Masque
- 5.0% Hyaluronic Acid: Deeply hydrates and plumps your skin. One study found that regular use can reduce the depth of wrinkle appearance by up to 40%. It can also increase skin firmness by up to 55%.
- 3.0% Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice: Aloe helps soothe inflammation and promote skin healing, just as it does with sunburns.
- 1.0% Camellia Sinensis (Green Tea Leaf Extract): An anti-inflammatory, antioxidant powerhouse that calms skin irritation.
- 1.0% Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice Root Extract): This extract leaves your skin with a calm, even finish and has wound-healing, anti-irritant, and depigmenting benefits.
- 1.0% Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary Leaf Extract): Cleans and protects your skin with anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial, and anti-viral effects.
- 1.0% Vitis Vinifera (Grape Seed Extract): Soothes your skin from the inside out with antioxidant benefits, such as wound healing.
Fire and Ice Facial Benefits
Anti-Aging Facial Treatment
Ingredients like retinol and green tea extract boost collagen production and protect against oxidative stress for smoother, softer skin. As a result, many clients see a reduction in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Fast Resurfacing & Exfoliation Without Residual Peeling
The “Fire” masque immediately smoothes your skin by exfoliating effectively without causing residual peeling. We finish with the “Ice” masque to cool down and refresh the skin with deep hydration.
Treats Acne and Hyperpigmentation
“Fire” elements like glycolic acid and retinol help resurface your skin, unclog pores, and minimize blemishes for a softer texture. Antioxidant-rich ingredients from the “Ice” masque help calm inflammation and heal blemish-prone, irritated, or dehydrated skin.
Overall, each masque is packed with anti-inflammatory and wound-healing ingredients. These are proven beneficial for acne, acne scars, and hyperpigmentation.
Luxury Facial for Cellular Renewal
Niacinamide supports microcirculation. This encourages cellular metabolism for healthier, glowing skin that functions properly.
Hydrating Facial for Sensitive, Irritated Skin
The cooling “Ice” phase calms redness and revitalizes your skin. It’s even gentle enough to soothe sunburns, thanks to aloe.
Celebrity-Approved Glow
Hollywood A-listers love this facial! It is perfect for special events. It’s also great whenever you want to look and feel your best. It leaves clients with an extra glow, smooth texture, and reduced appearance of pores, blemishes, and lines.

The Process of a Fire & Ice Facial
Step 1: Double Cleanse
Your Fire and Ice Facial begins with iS Clinical’s Cream Cleanser. This is followed by a second cleanse using the Cleansing Complex. Steam is added during this step to open your pores.
Step 2: “Fire” Intensive Resurfacing Masque
Now, we take the facial up a notch. Once cleansed, we begin with the “Fire” Masque for regenerative, controlled resurfacing. This off-white/yellow cream is applied evenly to your face and neck for 3–5 minutes. It instantly exfoliates, stimulates circulation, and deep-cleans pores for a polished, fresh look.
Step 3: “Ice” Rejuvenating Masque
From here, we cool it down. After rinsing and cleansing your skin from the Fire masque, a blue gel is generously applied to your face and neck and left on for 5–10 minutes. You’ll feel a cooling sensation as the hydrating facial soothes inflammation and refreshes your skin.
