Kylie Jenner’s Pre-Golden Globes Ice Bath Routine
On January 11, 2026, Kylie Jenner attended the 83rd Annual Golden Globe Awards at the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, accompanying her partner Timothée Chalamet, who was nominated for his role in A Different Man. Before hitting the red carpet in a stunning silver rhinestone-covered gown, the 28-year-old Kylie Cosmetics founder shared a behind-the-scenes glimpse of her glam prep on TikTok, featuring a viral beauty trend: dunking her face in an ice bath. This chilly ritual, popularized by celebrities like Hailey Bieber and Jennifer Aniston, is aimed at depuffing the skin, reducing redness, tightening pores, and achieving that coveted “glass skin” glow—perfect for a high-profile event.

In the video, Jenner appears makeup-free as her longtime makeup artist, Ariel Tejada, introduces her to a specialized “face dunk” setup—a large bowl filled with ice water equipped with a breathing tube for extended submersion. She hesitates at first, practicing her breathing with the tube and joking, “Do I breathe out of this?” before fully committing to the plunge. Despite the initial “brain freeze” discomfort, she emerges refreshed, noting, “OK, I feel good about that.” The routine didn’t go perfectly smooth—Jenner struggled a bit with the cold—but it’s a testament to her dedication to flawless skin prep.
This isn’t Jenner’s first foray into ice facials; the trend has been a staple in celebrity beauty regimens for years, with tools like the “Face Dunk Kit” making it more accessible. While there’s limited scientific backing for dramatic long-term benefits, proponents swear by its immediate effects on circulation and inflammation reduction. At the Globes, Jenner’s efforts paid off—she stunned on the red carpet, sharing affectionate moments with Chalamet, including a kiss interrupted by host Nikki Glaser.
