Magic lil skiss is a concept that refers to small acts of kindness or gestures that have a magical effect on people's lives. These skisses, as they are often called, can be simple gestures like a smile, a compliment, or offering help to someone in need. They may seem insignificant at first glance, but their impact can be profound and long-lasting. The magic of these lil skisses lies in their ability to uplift and inspire. They have the power to brighten someone's day, ease their burdens, and restore their faith in humanity. In a world that can sometimes be filled with negativity and hostility, these small acts of kindness act as a beacon of light, reminding us that there is still goodness and compassion in the world.
Step 3: Apply the device to your targeted area (over the sheet mask if using) for 2-3 minutes. In an upwards and outward motion, sweep the device from your nose to the side of your face. Then, move down the neck and to the décolleté. Each temperature setting lasts for 3 minutes. If you require a longer treatment, simply start the cycle again.

Magic Glow Wand helps you achieve your glow potential through lymphatic drainage, as you put pressure on the skin to help move the fluid away from the skin, so it can be filtered by your lymph nodes, Joshua Zeichner, director of cosmetic and clinical research in dermatology at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City, explains.

Joanna Vargas Launched the Magic Glow Wand, an At-Home Facial Massage Tool
It has hot and cool temperature modes that can be combined with massage mode for a relaxing, at-home facial. Here’s my honest review of the tool.
September 15, 2020 Clara Hendler/AllureThe moment I discovered Joanna Vargas, facialist and founder of Joanna Vargas Salons and Skin-Care, was launching a new product, I wasted no time researching every detail about it. Vargas' signature facials and namesake line of skin-care products and tools is beloved by Allure editors and countless celebrity clients such as Rachel Brosnahan and Mindy Kaling — so the newest addition to her lineup, Magic Glow Wand, rides on very high expectations.
So, what exactly is this fancifully-named tool? Magic Glow Wand is a spa-grade facial massage device meant to, according to Vargas, "reduce the appearance of puffiness, invigorate the skin, and bring your glow back." After six weeks of staying in a home filled with high-sodium processed foods, I'm basically grinning from ear to ear at this description — sign me up.
Magic Glow Wand helps you achieve your glow potential through lymphatic drainage, as you "put pressure on the skin to help move the fluid away from the skin, so it can be filtered by your lymph nodes," Joshua Zeichner, director of cosmetic and clinical research in dermatology at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City, explains. "The lymph system acts as the waste removal system for our bloodstream. Lymph vessels do not have muscles, so they rely on our bodies' muscle constriction from regular movements to pump the fluid."
What's more is that, according to Vargas, a stagnant lymphatic system can cause puffiness and dry skin, and Zeichner agrees. "If there is a blockage or slow movement of lymph fluid, it can result in lymphedema, or swelling, of the skin. This can result in puffiness and pressure on the skin barrier, which leads to dry and dull skin, or in more severe cases, even inflammation and rashes." Got it.

The tool itself is designed with a titanium head for sensitive skin and its massage modes, which Vargas says "mimic the wave-like motion of the lymphatic system," are gentle enough to use every day. Whereas a lot of skin-care tools only offer one function, the Magic Glow Wand stands out with four different modes to address your specific skin concerns. Let's break them down:
- Hot Mode (102.2°F): Mimics steaming during an in-salon facial, stimulates skin circulation, loosens sebum to deep-cleanse, and eliminates buildup
- Hot + Massage Mode (96.7°F): Helps skin absorb products, like masks and serums, for more effective treatments
- Cool Mode (55.4°F): Mimics cryotherapy, instantly soothes skin, and controls redness and inflammation
- Cool + Massage Mode (41°F): Minimizes the appearance of pores and decreases puffiness through lymphatic stimulation
It didn't take much convincing for me to try out the Magic Glow Wand for myself. Since Vargas confirmed that was safe to do, I decided to test out all four modes in the same sitting, starting from hot and working my way to cool. Her other tip is to "pick the cold + massage when you are doing your morning routine," which seems like the perfect wake-up call for work-from-home life.
You shouldn't be using either hot or cold settings without a physical barrier between you and the device, i.e. a face mask, sheet mask, or serum. Vargas recommends doing a clay or exfoliating mask for the two hot settings, a sheet mask or cream mask for the cool setting, and a serum for the Cool + Massage setting. And on the flip side, you shouldn't use the hot settings on naked skin or an intense peel.
My overall first impressions are that the device itself is lightweight and easy to hold, and the hot and cool temperatures (which only need five seconds to adjust when switching modes) feel really soothing on my skin on top of a face or sheet mask.

This creates a chain reaction of positivity and kindness that can spread throughout communities and beyond. These skisses can be done by anyone, anywhere, and at any time. They require no special skills or resources, only a genuine desire to make a difference in someone's day. It's about being present, observant, and willing to extend kindness to those around us. It's important to remember that magic lil skisses are not limited to strangers. They can also be directed towards friends, family, and even ourselves. Sometimes, a kind word or gesture towards someone we love or ourselves can have as much impact as it would on a stranger. In conclusion, magic lil skisses are small acts of kindness that have a magical effect on people's lives. They are simple gestures that can uplift, inspire, and create a ripple effect of positivity. They remind us of the power of kindness and the difference we can make in the lives of others. So, let's spread some magic lil skisses and make the world a better place..
