'I tried the face tool Kendall Jenner uses when travelling and it depuffs tired eyes'
Supermodel Kendall Jenner recently shared the face sculpting tool she always carries when travelling, in particular during busy fashion week periods – and I've been impressed by it too
Ever wondered how supermodels always look so stunning, even with their busy schedules? Genes and lifestyle pay a big part, of course, but so do the beauty products they use regularly – and Kendall Jenner has shared one of her must-haves.
Posting to her Instagram stories recently, when she was working during Paris Fashion Week, the 29 year old shared a snap of the Therabody TheraFace Depuffing Wand, captioning it: 'The BEST tool (especially when travelling)'.
This nifty and compact gadget, which launched earlier this year, features hot and cold technology and is mainly designed to help to depuff the face, as well as boost radiance and elasticity. It's especially aimed at around the eye area, where signs of tiredness often show most noticeably.

Priced at £129, the TheraFace Depuffing Wand could be a go-to for perking up tired skin for those who travel a lot, such as Kendall (who's also a brand ambassador for Therabody). As a beauty and travel editor, I too travel a lot, and I've tried it out too.
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.
If you travel a lot, however, or struggle with puffy eyes or allergies often, this could be a must-have addition to your beauty routine.
