Wrap an ice cube in a clean cloth and wipe the skin with it. This helps to close the pores.

Ostlund's follow-up to his 2017 Palme-winning 'The Square', according to 'Variety', takes a boat full of shallow people -- models, millionaires and their various trophy partners -- and abandons them in deep water, forcing the survivors to reconstruct a desert-island society where money holds no power.
