COULD THIS $500 FACIAL ZAPPER ACTUALLY SAVE YOU
THOUSANDS?
Hear us out... (Jennifer Aniston is involved)
On the daily skincare front, we like to consider ourselves relatively lowmaintenance: cleanser and SPF in the morning, cold cream at night, done.
But the second we stumble upon a new crow’s foot (noooooooo), we book it to the
nearest spa, drop $200 on a ridiculous oatmeal-and-bird-poop facial but then come
out with 27 zits.
Do that a handful of times, and you’ve spent a grand. How to save in the long run:
Invest in an at-home facial device that helps prevent fine lines (but won’t clog your
pores). Let’s take a closer look.
W H AT I T I S
Called the ZIIP, this little handheld device sends waves of electricity through
your face, essentially giving your skin a workout. You may have heard of
micro-current devices, but the ZIIP uses more potent “nano-currents,” like in
the kinds of facials celebrities get.

HOW NANO-CURRENTS WORK
Previously only available to the über wealthy (like known devotee Jennifer
Aniston), nano-current facials use little prods to send electrical currents into
your skin. The waves essentially kick your tissue in its butt and cause your
natural collagen to tighten (filling in fine lines) and your cells to regenerate
(growing healthy new tissue).

WHEN IT MAKES A DIFFERENCE
Obviously none of these show results after just one treatment. Nano-currents
work best when doled out regularly. So, if you’re shelling out for expensive
treatments already, that’s when (we think) it makes sense to invest in a
personal device once and do it yourself.
HOW TO WORK THE ZIIP
You use a corresponding app to select your treatment of choice (from general
neck rejuvenation to spot-treating a pimple) and hit “sync.” The ZIIP will
know the exact amount and type of currents to send, based on the need. Then,
watch a video to follow along as founder Melanie Simon (a longtime nanocurrent aesthetician) walks you through the process. Best of all: The app and
videos will regularly update with free new programs so you can keep all your
crazy facial maintenance to yourself--without dropping another dime.
