The secret behind Kylie and Kendall Jenner's glowy complexions involves more than face masks, brightening serums, and hella good highlighter. In fact, what they do might actually surprise you. It's the sort of thing I'd swear would burn the skin on my face off. Apparently these two sisters use a slush treatment that targets acne to keep their skin clear. Sounds simple, right? But wait until you learn what a slush treatment actually is!

The slush treatment these ladies swear by is made up of acetone and dry ice. I repeat, acetone–as in the stuff in your nail polish remover. Apparently it helps to cleanse, gently remove built up dirt and oil that can clog pores, and brightens skin. Weird, right?
So how does this thing work exactly? "Our acne slush treatment begins with a cool exfoliation of the surface of the skin with dry ice wrapped in gauze and dipped in acetone," Holly Buchko, a nurse practitioner at Coast Dermatology told Marie Claire. "This serves to clean the surface of the skin, remove excess oils, and removes makeup. It also decreases skin bacteria and can help calm the inflammation associated with acne."
So how do we even know that Kylie and Kendall use this treatment? Apparently celebrity dermatologist Christie Kidd gave a patient a similar treatment while appearing on Khloe Kardashian's transformation show Revenge Body, and happened to mention that both Kendall and Kylie get the treatment done as well.
Based on how radiant Kylie and Kendall's skin always looks, it's fair to assume this thing really works. But I wouldn't recommend trying or attempting to create this treatment yourself at home. Depending on how sensitive your skin is, this can leave your face red, swollen, and even irritated. I have oily but very sensitive skin. Even vitamin C facials have left my face with redness and breakouts, so you can bet I won't be trying this treatment–like ever! If you dare to try this, make sure to consult with your derm before anything.
