With awards season both here and in Hollywood drawing to a close, we've been inundated with stunning celebrity red carpet looks, with seemingly every A-lister sporting flawless skin and a lifted, sculpted complexion. And while celebs' beauty routines often stay under wraps, there'e one face tool that we know has been used on plenty of famous faces in recent years: the .

Although the brand is keeping tight-lipped about if the ZIIP Halo was used on any of the stars at last night's Oscars, we know that and have both declared themselves fans of in the past, while make-up artist Pauline Briscoe shared that it was used on ahead of last weekend's BRIT Awards.

• Quick and easy to use, the 'regular' programme just four minutes long
• Fits easily into your skincare routine
• Gives instant results
• Face looks sharper, firmer and less puffy
• Small and compact to travel with
• Lots of different facial programmes available on the app

• Results are subtle and temporary; it won't work miracles on extreme jowls or sagging skin
• It's expensive

It'll gently buzz when it's time to move to a new area of your face, and switch itself off after four minutes. There are also plenty of dedicated facial routines for specific areas of your face on the ZIIP app, which is really easy to use.

I use it first thing in the morning, before washing my face (as you need to remove the conductive gel afterwards), and notice a subtle-but-sure difference after using it: it doesn't do much on my double chin and weak jawline (), but , while my eyes looks distinctly less puffy.

I don't completely buy into ZIIP's claims about long-term results from the nanocurrent with prolonged use, but or before an event for a quick skin pick-me-up.
