Now that it's officially November, it feels a little less premature to dive into holiday prep mode. (Funny how those few days between October and November really make it feel right.) The festive buzz isn't just ramping up here at NewBeauty; it's making waves among celebrities, too—namely Alison Brie. In a new interview with The Hollywood Reporter, the actress shared a sneak peek of the beauty gifts she's planning to give this season—and we're taking notes.
"Lately, I've been wanting to get my mom things that are stimulating collagen or a great face mask because it's fun to buy people things that they wouldn't buy for themselves," Brie shared. And yes, that also means skin-care gadgets galore. "I love a microcurrent and nanocurrent device. I love the ZIIP, but there's a lot of versions of this, like NuFace. The Jillian Dempsey vibrating gold bar—aren't we all into lymphatic drainage?"
Yes, we absolutely are! In case you're new to the world of lymphatic drainage, Miami dermatologist Annie Gonzalez, MD, previously explained it to NewBeauty as “a specialized type of massage therapy that can help remove toxins and waste from bodily tissues.” She added that it’s become increasingly popular in aesthetics as a way to reduce puffiness, dullness and facial irritation. While you can book in-office treatments, an at-home version like Brie recommends is a solid option to try yourself (and we’ve got the details on exactly how to do it here).
Worth noting: Though the NuFace and ZIIP are primarily microcurrent devices, they can double as lymphatic drainage tools when used with specific techniques to help stimulate lymphatic flow. Inspired? Shop the tools she loves below.
