Use a comma to set off expressions of contrast.
When you add in an expression of contrast (something that's opposite or different from the original thought), you use a comma to offset it. This means that the contrasting phrase goes in between the commas.
For example.
I want to meet for coffee on Tuesday, not Wednesday, next week.
In this example, the contrasting statement is "not her looks," so it needs to be offset by two commas.
