Destination weddings always add excitement to the season. There’s the anticipation and planning, even if you’re not part of the bridal party. As a wedding guest, however, you’ll be reuniting with friends you may not have seen in a while, so it’s only natural you want to put your best face forward—and 111Skin’s Cryo De-Puffing Mask is my secret weapon do achieving a perfect base for my wedding guest makeup ahead of the big day.

This fall, I traveled to Chicago for a wedding, where the temperatures dipped so low, it felt like winter. I packed my guest dress and shoes, plus a steamer to make sure I turned out a fresh look, but I was worried about the condition of my skin, which is something I tend to feel self-conscious about, especially when facing friends (and former beaus) I haven’t seen in quite some time. The long-haul flight had left me puffy and the chillier temperatures exacerbated my already-dry skin.

There’s nothing worse when makeup sits in the creases of dry skin or you can’t snatch your jawline because your face is too swollen. But, as a beauty editor for Brides, I have an arsenal of products at my fingertips and I knew the TikTok-viral 111Skin Cryo De-Puffing Mask would restore my skin in just 20 minutes after one application. Developed by Dr. Alexandrides Yannis, a London-based plastic surgeon, this line draws fans like Lady Gaga, Victoria Beckham, Bella Hadid, and me. Ingredients like peptides, caffeine, and enzymes treat inflammation, de-puff, and tighten the skin, making fine lines appear less visible.

It is a luxury product, but much less expensive than scrambling to book a facial at your hotel ahead of a destination wedding. It’s my go-to travel essential, and I love to pair it with the 111Skin Cryo Revitalizing Moisturizer for that perfect makeup application. The results are impeccable—chef’s kiss.
