Attractive Forces: Magnets Are the Newest Beauty Ingredient

They draw out impurities and keep your lipstick cap from slipping off. Magnets have moved from the fridge to the vanity.

Two new antiaging masks are taking me right back to seventh-grade science class. Lancer retinoid-based Younger Revealing Mask Intense and Dr. Brandt Magnetight Age-Defier Skin Recharging Magnet Mask both contain iron, to draw out impurities and leave skin smoother and plumper. And, get this: Each comes with a magnet that strips away its rich, creamy formula, as if by magic—no washing required! Meanwhile, Givenchy’s restorative face-oil duo, Le Soin Noir & Blanc, is magnetically attached. Trust me, one try and you won’t be able to let go.
