My boyfriend, a skincare aficionado by virtue of living with a beauty writer for the past seven years, remarked on Charlize Theron’s ageless, glowing complexion when she flashed across the screen during the Oscars this past Sunday. After a bit of digging, I discovered the secret behind her tight, toned, and enviably smooth skin — an at-home facial that just so happens to be one of my own must-haves, particularly prior to important events.
Celebrity makeup artist Kate Lee, who prepped Theron’s complexion prior to the awards ceremony, employed the Hanacure All-in-One Facial — which, per a press release, is among her favorite complexion-prepping secrets. Perhaps you’ve seen the skin-tightening, 20-minute facial-in-a-box circulating social media, contorting the complexions of Drew Barrymore or Kim Kardashian.

The Hanacure All-in-One Facial is a lifting, skin-tightening anti-aging mask that delivers a smooth complexion in 20 minutes, per the brand, all the while contorting skin into a strange, giggle-inducing state as it dries and physically pulls skin upward. The two-part formula is unique in the truest sense of the word; in all my years writing about beauty, I’ve yet to try anything as instantly gratifying from a skin-tightening perspective. Post-use, even my puffiest, most sullen skin appears firmer, tighter, and significantly more refreshed, making this the perfect mask to prep for big events — like the Oscars, if you’re an A-lister, or for weddings, birthdays, and other special occasions, if you’ve yet to nab yourself an invite to a red carpet affair.
Each box comes with the components to mix up four single-use treatments. The formula is distinct in its mechanism of action, which involves mixing two pre-measured components together to create a clear, spreadable gel — then, brushing said mixture onto the face, and watching in awe as the mask rapidly hardens, inducing a physical tugging sensation that literally lifts skin. The mask contains beta glucan, a redness-calming, ultra-hydrating skin-plumper, in addition to a bevy of skin-firming skin-firming peptides.
Fantastic fodder for grabby social media posts as this strange effect may be, the lifting effect proves more than a mere gimmick: In my experience, it imparts benefits for hours post-treatment. Specifically, my complexion appears noticeably firmer, my cheekbones seem to come out of hiding, and I’m glowing as if I’ve just received a stellar facial. Plus, the formula is surprisingly calming to my skin on days it’s looking pinker or more irritated than I’d prefer.
For these reasons, I always keep a stash of Hanacure’s mask on hand; an emergency pick-me-up, if you will. If you want to experience toned, taut skin à la Theron for yourself, shop the Hanacure All-in-One Facial for $110.
