Celebs have been putting us onto some really good beauty tips this week. (See: how Vanessa Hudgens achieved her fierce updo and how Pedro Pascal got his skin to glow for the Oscars.) So it only felt right to bring up the NuFACE Mini+ device that Kate Hudson swears by. It also doesn't hurt that it's half-off at Ulta for the first time ever, but for one day only during the retailer's 21 Days of Beauty sale.

So if there's any time to act fast, it's now. We first learned about Kate's go-to last November when, while spilling the beans on beauty standards, botox and her Christmas wish list, the actress told PureWow, "I love [the] little Mini ‘cause you [can] get in the little cracks. I use it on my lips, or I use [it] on the side of the mouth, like that sort of jowl area, and then around the eyes."

And she's not the only one, as it's been trending on TikTok, with users comparing the results of the device's microcurrent technology to a mini facelift, but way cheaper.

So how does this thing work? Well, according to the manufacturer, the device's microcurrent 3-Depth technology mimics the body’s natural current (whatever that means) and is designed to help tone, lift and contour the face almost instantly—which is substantiated by reviews.

One Ulta shopper is obsessed: "I am an esthetician, and I have been using microcurrent technology in the spa for a long time. When I had the opportunity to test this home device, I was skeptical. The reason I was, was the fact that most home skincare devices are not as strong as professional ones. [But] I have to say this is just as strong and effective as any of the professional devices! I used it every day for seven days in a row. I treated 1/2 of my face to compare to the other side, and the results speak for themselves."

BTW, this is the typical response of reviewers who are also impressed with how it helps blur fine lines and wrinkles over time and how easy it is to use. (You can access professional and personalized step-by-step tutorials, track progress and set reminders to stay on track in the NuFACE Smart App.)

Ulta

The NuFACE Mini+ kit comes with the sandy rose-colored device, as well as a Silk Crème Activator, Aqua Gel, application brush, power adapter and a user manual to get you started.

As recommended, you should apply a "mask-like layer" of the activator in sections, then use the device to tackle those areas using glides and upward strokes for up to 20 minutes before it automatically shuts off. Then you'll be giving snatched in no time.
