Skincare Expert Vanessa Lee Shares How to Wake Up With a Defined Jawline and More A-List Approved Tips
Get that glow! Vanessa Lee is known for helping celebs like Kourtney and Kim Kardashian, Jessica Alba, Gabrielle Union, Kate Hudson, and more achieve clear, sculpted skin, and now The Things We Do founder is sharing her top tips with ET.
For starters, the medical aesthetic provider believes finding a personalized regimen that works for you is key.
“When you know your skin well, you end up saving yourself a lot of time and money. It is so easy to see someone with great skin and want to follow their routine, only to get sucked up in a cycle that doesn’t serve you,” she explains.
Some questions to consider: “Do you take after mom or dad more with your skin? Are you oily mainly in the t-zone or all over? Do you break out in small, superficial breakouts or larger cystic ones or both? How long does it take you to recover from a red or brown spot?”
From there, the skincare guru can focus on your specific concerns and goals.
“The most common skincare issues we see are hyperpigmentation and over-texturized skin. … Patients want to be smooth and bright, and I, myself, want those same things too. … I combined my background in dermatology with my love for facial balancing and nourishing ingredients to formulate the Barrier Boost Set to achieve that,” she says.
Lee”s other must-haves? “I love our Coconut and Collagen Eye Gels and Niacinamide Capsules because of how extremely moisturizing and resetting they are for the under eyes and our Dew & Glow Microneedling Infusion Kit helps with skin plumping and hair thinning.”
If you’re lucky enough to snag an appointment at her beauty concept studios in Los Angeles, California or Oahu, Hawaii, be prepared to leave feeling more confident after receiving a blend of customized treatments.
“Our faces are so much more than tissue and bone and we should be treating them with more thought. … When I look at skin, I can see mapping of who you are and can picture how you will age. … I look at the whole face to recognize shape and symmetry in order to balance, restore and enhance features,” the Certified Eastern face reader says.
To keep up with your flawless results, Lee suggests carving out some extra self-care time with a couple of tools.
“If you feel you are too cheeky or generally deal with a swell to the face, use our AcuRoller tool to depuff and brighten your eyes through specific acupressure points. I also recommend using our Face Faja that is a facial wrap you can use throughout the day if you’re at home or while you sleep to wake up with a more defined jawline,” she dishes.

Best Mothers Day gifts: Show mom some love
Mother figures are the backbone of the world. Yours may be your biological mother, or maybe she’s your mother-in-law, your best friend’s mom, or simply someone whose motherly instinct has helped you through hard times.
Moms teach you the adulting necessities, give advice even if the problem is your fault, and above all, they put up with your shit and (almost) never complain.
The game plan here isn’t just to snag the last bouquet at CVS just so you’re not the kid who forgot Mother’s Day (but definitely also get flowers). And you don’t even need to spend a lot of money. (Peep our list of Mother’s Day gifts that cost less than $50. Want even more cheap gift ideas?
Skip the generic mugs and show your appreciation with a gift picked just for her: Whether it’s something to make a part of her life easier, something she’s mentioned wanting in passing, or simply something to make her feel like a damn queen, you can’t put a price on everything she’s done for you, but heartfelt gifts certainly help.
After all, they say “No matter how hard you try, you always end up like your mother.” But is that even a bad thing?

Where did Wordle come from?
Originally created by engineer Josh Wardle as a gift for his partner, Wordle rapidly spread to become an international phenomenon, with thousands of people around the globe playing every day. Alternate Wordle versions created by fans also sprang up, including battle royale Squabble, music identification game Heardle, and variations like Dordle and Quordle that make you guess multiple words at once.
Wordle eventually became so popular that it was purchased by the New York Times, and TikTok creators even livestream themselves playing.

The best Wordle starting word is the one that speaks to you. But if you prefer to be strategic in your approach, we have a few ideas to help you pick a word that might help you find the solution faster. One tip is to select a word that includes at least two different vowels, plus some common consonants like S, T, R, or N.
What happened to the Wordle archive?
The entire archive of past Wordle puzzles was originally available for anyone to enjoy whenever they felt like it, but it was later taken down, with the website’s creator stating it was done at the request of the New York Times. However, the New York Times then rolled out its own Wordle Archive, available only to NYT Games subscribers.
Is Wordle getting harder?
It might feel like Wordle is getting harder, but it actually isn’t any more difficult than when it first began. You can turn on Wordle‘s Hard Mode if you’re after more of a challenge, though.
