'The Diplomat' star Keri Russell swears by this wrinkle-erasing device
You probably remember Keri Russell as a cherubic, curly-haired 20-something on the hit WB show Felicity, but these days, the actress, now 47, doesn't look much different. With an Emmy nom for The Diplomat Russell, we'll watch her shine on Monday night as she always does — but this time, instead of her famous 'do taking center stage, it's her radiant, wrinkle-free skin. We all know Hollywood stars are in the business of looking ageless, and they all have their well-guarded beauty secrets. So what are Russell's?
Turns out her anti-aging skincare routine includes facials, thorough daily cleansing with Eve Lom Cleanser and a popular gadget called the NuFace The Fix Line Smoothing Device. In fact, the device has been her secret weapon for a while now. Russell told Shape back in 2020 that the tool "really works, actually" and that she recommends it to all her girlfriends. The NuFace produces results because it uses gentle yet effective microcurrents to minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles in all the places you start to notice them pop up after 40: the forehead and around the eyes and lips.
We did a little more digging and found out that the NuFace The Fix Line Smoothing Device is actually on sale at Nordstrom: an impressive $41 off — and it comes with a bottle of NuFace Fix serum thrown in! So if you come away from Russell's new film as impressed by her glowing complexion as we were, you know how to get ready for your own close-up.
The NuFace Wrinkle Smoothing Device and Fix serum work in tandem to give your skin a smooth, seamless appearance that's natural and youthful. First, apply the serum lightly with your fingers or a clean facial sponge. Then use the device in small, gentle swirls, around the eyes, mouth and forehead to target things like crow's feet and eleven lines.
Just use the FDA-approved NuFace The Fix Line Smoothing Device for five minutes a day as part of your cleansing routine in the morning or at night, religiously, to see results. Created by an aesthetician, the microcurrent device has won a slew of awards from top-tier publications including 'Allure' and 'Glamour' in categories judged by both beauty editors and customers. And the Fix serum is the perfect conduit for the device's microcurrents.
"I’m in love with the Fix!! " wrote one enthusiastic reviewer of the device. "It’s a total game changer … no more filler for my lips!!"
"Started using and seeing results within 2 weeks - plumper skin and fine lines around lips and eyes are smoothing out," wrote a five-star reviewer. "Used to use a larger device 10 yrs ago - then it stopped charging. I like the line smoother and amazing it stays charged."
Eve Lom Cleanser
Russell's other go-to for looking so youthful more than 20 years after 'Felicity' went off the air is Eve Lom Cleanser, also available at Nordstrom. She told 'The Cut' that she uses this cult-favorite product to wash her face every morning. "It just melts everything off, yet leaves my skin fresh and moist," she said.
Beauty experts have known about the magic of Eve Lom cleanser since its creation three decades ago. It contains a signature blend of aromatic oils to remove makeup, clean, hydrate and even exfoliate your skin. It even comes with a muslin cloth to work the product in and make sure every trace of dirt is gone.
This 1.6-ounce tub of the creamy all-in-one Eve Lom balm cleanser is just $60 — pretty reasonable for a product of its stature. Customers have given it a coveted 4.5 overall star rating on Nordstrom as well as rave reviews. "I was skeptical at first, but after using it for just a few weeks, I am completely blown away by the results," wrote a fan. "This cleanser leaves my skin feeling refreshed, rejuvenated, and incredibly soft."
"The foaming cream cleanser works great! My skin felt clean, but not taut or dry," wrote a five-star reviewer. "I don’t wear a lot of makeup, but what I do wear was completely removed without having to scrub."
Look, we're realistic: you may not have the same resources as a famous actress, but you can have the actual products Russell uses on a daily basis to care for her skin. A consistent routine does wonders for the condition of your complexion and for turning back the clock. And for a combined $184, you can invest in yours today and at least look like a million bucks.
