It’s the season of merrymaking—aka festive cocktails, late dinners, and even a flight (or two!) in the service of a great escape. With so much action during the holiday season, Gucci often experiences puffiness around the eyes, cheeks, and jawline, which she laughingly refers to as “morning face.”  Not to worry—she’s got a 2-step cooling and hydrating skin trick that works every time.

First, she pops on Augustinus Bader’s potent eye patches to plump fine lines and calm skin. Then comes a cooling facial massage that’s easy to nail, even if you’ve only got access to a hotel minibar. She tucks her Skin Activator rollerball facial device into the fridge for 30 minutes to enhance its depuffing potential (the magnetic brass ball pops on and off in a snap). 

Two quick clicks at the base release a potent serum cocktail of calming, soothing, and hydrating ingredients like hyaluronic acid and niacinamide. Next, she massages it across the face—focusing on areas where there are fine lines or dryness— and uses upward strokes on the neck to keep things moving. Et voila—a mini lymphatic drainage massage, no facial appointment necessary!
