The new crop of gizmos upgrading your beauty regimes
Equipped with the latest (sought-after) advances in tech, you'll enhance the effects of your everyday skin care regime. Changing the face of beauty, these great innovations are no longer just 'nice to haves' - instead, they're becoming firm fixtures. The simplest way to invest in your skin (and super-charge the impact of your go-to serums, creams and must-have masks), these perfect 'Power Couples' are the future... (and it's looking pretty bright).
Not a new kid on the block but Foreo's {LUNA} comes in multiple sizes and colours to suit every taste and bank balance. From pocket-sized (and disposable), to 'full size' via somewhere-in-the-middle, these face vibrators maximise the impact of your cleanser to leave all complexions 'squeaky' clean. Perfect when paired with a foaming gel formula - we LOVE Dr. Dennis Gross's {Alpha Beta Pore Perfecting Cleansing Gel} - this bestselling gizmo will 'tszuj' all the oil, dirt and 'gunk' out of pores to leave complexions flawless.
If you're worrying about your jawline, neck and décolleté, supplement the firming, lifting impact of your chosen cream with something that will give the skin (and muscles) a workout. Studded with detoxifying tourmaline, Nurse Jamie's {UpLift Facial Roller} is ideal for maximising the absorption of your cream while stimulating the expulsion of accumulated toxins so your chin and jaw feel taut, while Sarah Chapman's {Facialift} puts facial muscles through their paces - acting like a HIIT session for tissue that's been slacking. Use in conjunction with Omoroviza's {Firming Neck Cream} to ensure you stay swanlike.
Boost the bag-banishing benefits of your beloved eye treatment with Dr. Dennis Gross's (scary-looking) {Spectralite}. With LED lights to kick-start manufacture of much-needed collagen, this futuristic gizmo helps to thicken fragile skin and in turn, lessen depth of fine lines and 'disappear' your dark circles (where'd they go?). When coupled with Alpha-H {Liquid Gold Eye Cream} you'll rewind ten years with three minutes each morning.
Nowhere near as scary as it looks, eCOOKING's {Derma Roller} creates tiny micro channels to enhance the penetration of your favourite oil or serum (we worship Mabel & Meg's {Lumilixir} for fast-acting plumping and long-lasting brightening), as well as stimulating sluggish cells to maximise their natural regenerative processes. A little bit 'ouchy' at first, use on clean skin in the evening then slather your serum on top to ensure your skin feels ultra 'springy' come morning.
Condensing a 20 minute treatment into only 90 seconds, Foreo's {UFO} is otherworldly. With warm and cool modes, as well as age-defying light therapy, this guarantees a stunning, facial-worthy luminosity in less time than it takes to boil the kettle. With targeted 'sheet masks' for {Day} and for {Night}, use this whenever you need to look fabulous, FAST.
