Carla Bruni takes an ice bath
At 56, Carla Bruni has no reason to be ashamed of her toned figure, which she has maintained despite the passage of time, thanks to a healthy diet and a sports routine. But this Saturday, August 17, the one who has paraded for the greatest chose to go further by testing a real physical test. In a one-piece swimsuit, her hands placed under her chin and sunglasses on her eyes, the singer immersed herself in ice water. “Finnish kind of morning” she wrote in the caption. A surprising ritual practiced daily in Scandinavian countries and a must for all beautystas who set foot on Finnish soil. Moreover, the former First Lady seemed to appreciate it given the smile on her lips!
The benefits of cold water on the skin
Exposure to ice water, close to 0°, brings many benefits to the skin. First, it stimulates blood circulation and promotesremoval of dead skin. This practice also encourages the cell renewal and immediately tightens pores.
And this isn’t the first time Carla Bruni has tried cryotherapy. It’s actually a family practice that helps her keep her skin firm.In our family, we are fans of cold water: daily ice baths and showers.” explained Nicolas Sarkozy’s wife in an old Instagram post.
