ZIIP or LED or BOTH?

There are super savings on both the ZIIP Halo and the Current Body LED Mask Series 2 for Black Friday and if you are more of a now and then person, like me, ZIIP Halo is your best friend for that although again, the more you use it, the more you will see results. I do mine in front of the TV – the time passes so quickly and ease of use a key motivator for me. I don’t want to be tangled in wires, meditating or listening to sound baths – I just want to use ZIIP as and when with no fuss or faff and that’s exactly what I do. If you like to be more leisurely with your pampering, the LED Series 2 ticks all the boxes for relaxing and resting while creating dream skin. Of all the facial gadgets I’ve featured and tested, ZIIP Halo is by far and away the most popular. It’s the one I use most often myself when I need a bit of a glow up – super handy, mercifully quick and with results that actually show on my skin. As of October, there are more treatment routines on the app and one in particular that I’ve been using more than any other. Black Friday is the obvious time to take advantage of savings.

What is the ZIIP Halo and How Does It Work?

Before we get to that, if you are new to the ZIIP Halo, it’s a hand-held facial device that uses a combination of microcurrent and nano current electrical currents to treat varying skin concerns by stimulating the skin’s natural cellular activity. You can use it daily, frequently or occasionally and still get skin benefits from it – that’s the kind of versatility every beauty device should have. I’ve had mine for a couple of years and honestly, would not want to part with it under any circumstances.

Why I Love the ZIIP Halo for Puffiness and Glow-Ups

So, puffiness! Recently I have felt (and looked) really puffy, particularly in the mornings and it’s a puffiness that doesn’t disappear quickly at all. Please Lord do not tell me it’s the wine, although it might well be, with other culprits being not drinking enough water because when it gets colder, I definitely drink less. It could simply be just being asleep – I sleep on my side and when you stay in one position for a long time, fluids can pool in the face – I mean, who knows? But what I do know is that a 6 minute Lymphatic Drainage treatment will vastly help. It starts at the bottom of the neck and slowly works upwards, pulling the device to the side of the face each time. ZIIP gives you a little buzz when you’ve finished a particular area and can move on to the next. Interestingly, you avoid the eye area, but a nose to side sweep will definitely help to reduce any puffiness there.

Exploring the New ZIIP Treatment Routines

I’ve been given the challenge from the good folks at ZIIP to use the device consistently over two weeks, so I’ve given all the newest treatment routines a walk through. joy of joys, there’s one for the neck (three years in development) that I want to give more than two weeks to, but it’s a promising start after (almost) two weeks. I shouldn’t mind about my neck but like many before me, and famously, Nora Ephron, I do a bit. Mel, who visually guides you through every treatment takes all the necessary precautions not to go near your thyroid and consistently reminds you throughout There’s an Anti-ageing section, a Skin Health section, a Skin Prep section (definitely worth doing pre-event) and a Problem Skin section. Within the sections, you can pick out routines (there are 17 in total) for sun damage, spots or barrier repair, for example – the menu just gets better and better. Mel is Melanie Simon, founder and creator of ZIIP, who is already a renowned aesthetician.

Choosing the Right Conductor Gel for Your Skin

You will need conductor gels – when I first started writing about ZIIP Halo, there was only one gel and now there are five (and a try me set). Personally, I still like the original, Core Gel, the best but after that, I’d opt for Silver Gel (disappointingly not silver) that has additives to boost hydration but you can pick whatever you think your skin needs most – you are your own skin’s best expert.

Investing In The Current Body Series 2 LED Mask

In case you have been on the fence about the Current Body Series 2 LED mask I tried a couple of months ago. With most facial devices, routine and regularity are the buzz words – that’s certainly true for the LED Mask – and if you’re good at that, either are worth having. I found using the LED Mask very relaxing and it’s another handy in-front-of-the-tv device for a glow up.

Design Advantages Of The Current Body Series 2 LED Mask

Choosing an LED mask can be confusing — they all look similar, but the technology behind them varies wildly. Everything about the Current Body Series 2 LED Mask is top of the range and the highest standard – from fit (which matters), even bulb distribution (also matters) and comfort (and yes, of course that matters!) for consistency and, over time, smoother, glowier skin. For example, if your mask is even slightly misaligned, you could be missing points on your face. Take a minute to position the Series 2 LED properly so every area gets the same level of treatment. Currrent Body designers have focused on making this LED mask mould to your face more closely, reducing the chance of uneven results so finding your positioning is more than easy. The LED mask has ease of use at the heart – what could be a complicated set up just isn’t! Even the most worried technophobe will be able to work through the clear instructions.

What I Love About The Current Body Series 2 LED Mask

Everything has been extensively thought through with the design of the Series 2 LED Mask. It has extended chin coverage so your lower face is thoroughly treated, there are no gaps in the LED distribution so effects on your skin will be uniform. The LED light count and spacing are expertly calibrated so you have exactly the right amount – not too many and not too few and it never gets too hot.
