“I start my mornings with the ziip halo short 4-minute routine. And that is something that I do year round. But that gets even more important in spring because due to seasonal allergies and just my skin being off, I'm really really puffy when I get up and this extra depuffing effect that you get through these strokes that you do is very welcome.”
