ZIIP Halo Device

The ZIIP HALO Microcurrent Facial Device is one of my favourite devices, and it uses Dual Waveform Technology which is designed to give both immediate and long-lasting effects, it does this through the use of varying frequencies of both nanocurrent and microcurrent waves.

Microcurrent stimulates the muscles to contract and relax, causing an immediate lift and instant skin tightening, think more facial definition, blurred fine lines and that lifted appearance, delivering instant results that can be seen up to 72 hours.  Then with the Nanocurrent, it uses tiny electrical wavelengths to sync with the body’s natural current on a cellular level, resulting in younger-looking skin. Blur fine lines and wrinkles, fade scarring and even out your skin tone for long-term rejuvenation. 

The app is fantastic and an excellent companion to your HALO. It offers a wide range of treatment options, from quick touch-ups to more intensive facials, all demonstrated by ZIIP founder Melanie Simon. You can tailor your routine by mixing and matching treatments to get the most out of your device or follow the structured treatment plans provided for extra guidance.

Alongside the included Electric Complex Gel, there are three additional gels available: 
  • Silver for deep hydration, 
  • Crystal for radiance, and 
  • Golden for a collagen boost. 
I am currently using the Silver Gel —it’s packed with hydrating ingredients like low molecular weight hyaluronic acid, which deeply nourishes the skin while ensuring optimal conductivity for the device. It also contains soothing botanical extracts like aloe and cucumber, making it perfect for calming the skin during treatments. ZIIP's Silver Gel serves as both a conductive medium for microcurrent and nanocurrent facial treatments and as a potent skincare product that delivers multiple benefits. Its formulation is designed to enhance the efficacy of ZIIP devices while nourishing and revitalizing the skin.

A standout feature of the Silver Gel is its intense hydrating capability, primarily due to the inclusion of a sophisticated, low molecular weight hyaluronic acid sourced from Japan. This form of hyaluronic acid penetrates deeply into the skin, providing immediate and sustained hydration, resulting in a firmer and more supple complexion.

To soothe and calm the skin, the gel incorporates natural extracts such as cucumber and aloe. These ingredients are known for their anti-inflammatory and cooling properties, making the Silver Gel particularly suitable for individuals with sensitive or reactive skin.

Additionally, the gel contains finely crushed pearl, which promotes collagen production and enhances skin luminosity. This ingredient contributes to a brighter and more radiant complexion, addressing concerns related to dullness and uneven skin tone.

When used in conjunction with ZIIP's electrical currents, the Silver Gel facilitates up to 120% better absorption of these active ingredients, maximizing their effectiveness. This synergy not only optimizes the device's performance but also ensures that the skin receives comprehensive care, resulting in a hydrated, soothed, and radiant appearance.

So why the Halo Effect? Well as with all devices, you need to use them frequently and as best as you can, stick to the guidance given to get these named effects. In the case of this ZIIP Halo Device, that Halo Effect is what you can expect to see after 6 weeks of consistently using your device.

Priced at £379 but if you use the code RACHELZIIP you can save 10%

AD Inspired by Korea’s beauty heritage

Inspired by Korea’s beauty heritage
Korean skincare is no longer just a hype, it's a genuine and well-established part of the global beauty industry. Yet we sometimes forget that these popular products and routines have their roots in a centuries-old tradition. Indeed, many contemporary formulas draw inspiration from Korea's beauty heritage, whether in terms of ingredients used or an underlying philosophy.

Beauty in the Joseon era

During the Joseon dynasty (1392–1897), beauty was associated with tranquillity, simplicity, and a healthy glow. Make-up was minimal, the focus was on care and radiance. Rice water was used to brighten the skin, ginseng to promote vitality, and camellia oil to keep the skin soft and supple.

Today, more and more brands are returning to this timeless approach. Brands such as Beauty of Joseon combine traditional ingredients with modern science to pay homage to the heritage of Korean beauty.

Balance is the most important thing

Western skincare is often about getting fast results. Korean skincare is about balance, softness and consistency. The key to good skin care is understanding your skin's needs and catering to them accordingly.

COSRX, for example, bases its product philosophy on simplicity and effectiveness. There are no frills — just products that calm and target specific skin problems.

Natural ingredients with a legacy

The unique aspect of Korean beauty is the way ingredients are chosen: not because they are trendy, but because their effectiveness has been proven over generations. Consider ginseng, for example. Ginseng is used to boost energy levels and improve circulation in the skin. Rice extract is used to brighten the complexion. Propolis is used for hydration and repairing the skin. Charcoal and mung beans purify the skin without drying it out.

These ingredients are not an afterthought. They are the heart of the routine. This is a philosophy that remains strongly inspired by Korea's beauty heritage.

What can we take from that?

You don't have to follow an elaborate routine to benefit from that knowledge, which is great news. By choosing gentle products with carefully considered formulations, you can give your skin peace of mind and achieve great results.

Perhaps the real power of K- beauty lies in the fact that it enables you to slow down, care for your skin and connect with a tradition that has been practised for centuries.
