‘This cooling face tool instantly soothed my puffy eyes after a long flight'
If you struggle with a puffy face and eyes, especially during hay fever season, when travelling or after late nights, this new facial gadget is a must, says our beauty editor Puffy eyes are definitely one of my beauty bugbears, and they are, I think, especially bad when I'm tried, have been on a long flight, or have hay fever flare-up. I've tried plenty of thing to try to help, from the best eye creams to trending injectables, but I think I've hit upon a smart new facial tool that really helps. Therabody, maker of the popular muscle pummelling guns, has just launched the TheraFace Depuffing Wand, designed to decrease puffiness, sculpt the face and boost circulation. Available in two colours and priced at £125, this nifty tool delivers cold and hot temperatures to the face in minutes, giving instant results. Here's what happened when I tried it out after a day of travelling back from holiday, when I was looking and feeling especially tired... First up, it's nicely hand-sized and compact, and really easy to use: simply hold the cold button to start the cold temperatures then toggle through three intensities, and do the same with the hot button for warm temperatures. When cold, the device makes a slight whirring sound, but it's minimal. Then all you need to do is sweep the nozzle over the skin where it's needed – in my case, under and around my eyes. The specially shaped tip fits neatly into all of your face's nooks and crannies, and it feels instantly refreshing. The programs last for three minutes before flashing to indicate that you need to switch sides, then automatically turn off after six minutes, after which, I could definitely see an improvement in my eye area: it looked brighter, fresher and less tired. Although similar results can be achieved with ice globes or a gua sha, the beauty of the TheraFace Depuffing Wand is that it never gets warm – something that I personally find annoying when I've used ice globes in the past – and giving optimum results for the whole treatment time. One of advice I would give it to apply an eye cream or serum first, to avoid any dragging of the skin (I use it on top of the conductive gel after using my microcurrent face tool). I also tried out the heat setting, focusing in particular on areas of blemishes to soothe them and attempt to draw out any gunk. While this did feel very nice, I don't feel like there was any major benefits, and I probably wouldn't use these warm settings very often. Is this cooling tool an essential item? No, but if you struggle with puffy eyes, hay fever symptoms, hot flashes or even migraines, this might just be a godsend this summer. Alternatively you can buy face rollers make of actual ice for around £5 on Amazon (watch out for drips though!), and if it's serious face sculpting at home you're after, however, you need the ZIIP Halo. Although expensive at £379, I've found that it really makes an instant difference to how lifted and toned my face looks.

The Internet Says This Viral Tool Is Like a Magic Wand for Puffy Eyes—I Was Skeptical, so I Tried It
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. As someone who has an ever-changing sleep schedule, I'm pretty much never exempt from waking up with eye bags. Some days, I'm a true night owl, and on others, I'm the most productive morning person. In a perfect world, I'd follow a super-strict bedtime schedule, but I can't say that's in the cards anytime soon. If I can't beat the side effects of an unpredictable sleep schedule, I figured I might as well do what I can with the help of my beauty regimen to keep my tired-looking eyes at bay. I've tried everything from eye patches and cooling face masks to simply placing a cold towel over my eyes for a few moments. When it comes to skincare tools, I usually stick to my gua sha or my jade roller, but one day, I was scrolling through TikTok when I came across a video about Therabody's TheraFace Depuffing Wand. Eventually, I went down a rabbit hole of reviews before deciding I needed to give it a try to see if it's worth the hype. Curious to see the results? Read on for my full review. One thing I appreciate about this device is how easy it is to use. The directions are straightforward, and the packaging also has a QR code with a link to resources that show you various techniques and tips. To get started, remove the cap and set it aside. It might feel natural to stick it on the back of the tool, but you'll want to avoid this. Blocking the open vents can mess up the airflow that's used to change the temperature of the treatment. When you're ready to turn it on, hold down either the hot or cold button, depending on the kind of treatment you want. From there, the device will turn on, and you can select how intense you want your treatment. The hot and cold treatments each have three settings: cold, colder, and coldest range between 50 and 57°F, while hot, hotter, and hottest run from 95 to 108°F. The level that you're on will be indicated by the three LED lights under the two main buttons. You should give the wand one minute to reach the temperature you selected. After, you're free to begin your treatment, starting on one side of the face and moving from the inner sections upward and outward—similar to how you would use a gua sha. Each treatment is six minutes long. Once you're three minutes in, the light under the tip will flash to let you know it's time to switch to the other side of your face. At the six-minute mark, it will automatically turn off. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the Depuffing Wand actually worked. I got the best results from starting with a cold setting and ending with heat. I was honestly a bit skeptical that I'd see results in just a few minutes, but I think the combination truly gave me a less tired-looking appearance. That said, the best results come with continued use, so I'm curious to know what would happen if I tested this for a month or two. Results aside, I found it easy to move the tool across my face as long as I did so with light pressure (especially under the eyes!). I like that I could use the cold setting for reducing the appearance of dark circles and puffiness while contouring my jawline and cheekbones. Meanwhile, I was able to use the heat in tandem with skincare to boost product absorption. Pros: Has temperature control, TSA approved, easy to use Cons: Cold setting can be a bit loud, highest intensities may be irritating to sensitive skin View Deal This product is like a spa treatment on the go, making it well worth the investment. It's perfect for fellow night owls, early risers, or anyone who likes to pamper themselves. I did my treatments at home, but I'd argue that this is also a great buy for frequent flyers, as it's TSA approved. The size isn't too big, and the motor is on the quieter side, so I'll definitely be taking this with me on all my vacations and work trips moving forward. This wand could also pair well with Therabody's TheraFace Pro. Sure, it takes a little bit of time to see long-term results, but that's every skincare tool and product out there. Trust me—you won't regret a splurge like this.
