When it comes to starting your day with a bang, most people might reach for coffee, a smoothie, or a quick stretch. But not Ashton Hall, oh no. This fitness influencer has taken the phrase “wake up and smell the coffee” to a whole new level—by dunking his face in ice water and rubbing banana peels all over it.
This fitness influencer’s morning routine has blown up like a viral meme. Yes, in a world where people can barely make it out of bed before hitting snooze, Hall’s day kicks off at 3:50 AM with a routine that includes dunking his face in ice water—not once, but twice—and rubbing banana peels all over his face. With over 600 million views, his routine is making everyone question their own morning rituals.
Is it genius? Is it nonsense? Well, the internet sure can’t get enough of it!
Ashton Hall’s viral morning routine: Wellness revolution or just pure madness?
You know how they say “breakfast is the most important meal of the day”? Well, Ashton Hall might just take that saying a little too literally, but in his own bizarre way.
Let’s talk about the face dunking. Who needs a cup of joe when you’ve got two bowls of ice water ready for your face? We don’t know about you, but the idea of plunging my face into cold, sparkling water at 4 AM sounds like the quickest way to wake up—and probably a solid way to traumatize your skin. But Hall isn’t alone in his obsession with cold exposure.
While the internet chuckles at his antics, there’s a real discussion about the benefits of ice water therapy. It’s rumored to increase alertness, reduce inflammation, and improve skin tone. So maybe there’s some method to the madness after all?

Now, let’s dive into the banana peel. Yes, that’s right—the same thing you throw in the trash after making your smoothie is now a skincare miracle. Hall’s mid-routine snack involves eating a banana, but it’s not just for breakfast. He then proceeds to rub the peel on his face, as though his skin has been begging for a potassium-packed facial.
While some of us might be wondering if Hall has lost the plot, experts are chiming in. According to Healthline, cold exposure can indeed reduce inflammation and improve circulation, making it a trendy (albeit extreme) technique in the wellness world.
And as for the banana peel? Well, some believe the antioxidants and enzymes in it can be great for your skin—though you might not be sure if you’re ready to replace your expensive face masks with a fruit snack just yet.
The power of the influencer: Ashton Hall’s 15 seconds of fame
Ashton Hall has always been big on social media—boasting millions of followers across TikTok and Instagram. But his routine has taken on a life of its own, especially after the viral video garnered millions of views. Whether it’s the sheer absurdity of it all or the oddly satisfying sight of someone dunking their face in ice water, Hall’s morning ritual has captured the internet’s imagination in a way few things ever do.
And let’s be real, if anyone can turn dunking your face in ice water into a worldwide trend, it’s Ashton Hall.
Of course, not everyone is on board with this routine. As expected, Hall has been mercilessly roasted on X. His more niche following on the platform has led to plenty of jokes and playful mockery, but his popularity on TikTok and Instagram more than makes up for it. After all, we all know that viral success is about getting people talking, and Hall has certainly done that.
So, is Ashton Hall onto something groundbreaking, or is he just another fitness influencer trying to make us believe that a banana peel is the key to flawless skin? In a world that thrives on bizarre trends and wellness fads, perhaps it’s not about whether his routine is practical, but whether it gets us to think about how we approach self-care.
Well, we might not all be ready to try his routine, but we’re definitely talking about it.
