TOP TOOLS Best for… Radiance

Nurse Jamie Beauty Blade, £42.96 (qvcuk. com) This stainless steel massage tool is designed with special curves to fit the contours of the face. It will boost circulation while strengthening facial muscles for a luminous glow.

■■How to: Apply a few drops of serum and gently glide the blade under your eye area, around the lips, cheeks and forehead starting from the inside of your face and then moving towards the outside.

Best for… Firming

Jade Gua Sha Massage Tool, £12.50 (greenpeople.co.uk) Gua sha stones have been part of Eastern beauty routines for centuries. They stimulate the lymph system, helping shift toxins while calming and sculpting. ■■How to: The wide length will smooth and de-puff your skin while the double-pronged end will sculpt a sharper jawline.

To firm up the jaw, hold the stone at a 15-degree angle and begin at the base of your neck, using the tool’s long straight edge to glide upwards.

Repeat three to five strokes per area and switch to the other side.

Best for... Fine lines

BeautyBio Glopro Microneedling Regeneration Tool, £199 (currentbody.com) This works by giving your skin thousands of tiny micro injuries, which forces your body’s natural regeneration response to kick in, boosting collagen and elastin production. The needle length is just 0.3mm, compared to a professional treatment needle that can be up to 3mm.

■■How to: Glide over skin in horizontal, vertical and diagonal strokes for 60 seconds, three times a week. It also comes with an eye roller attachment.

Best for… Tension

Oils of Life Revitalising Facial Massager, £16 (the bodyshop.com)

With two cooling metal bars, this mimics the kneading technique of knuckles to relax tight

muscles and de-puff the skin. ■■How to: Use like a roller, with gentle strokes along the jaw and cheekbones, rolling upwards and outwards on each section of your face, up to the hairline.

Best for… Skincare boost

Kat Burki Micro

Firming

Wand, £100 (feelunique.com) This clever wand uses micro-vibration to increase the absorption of active ingredients in your skincare products by up to 30 per cent. ■■How to: Apply your favourite serum or moisturiser to cleansed skin. Roll the wand over each area for 30-45 seconds using upward strokes. The wand automatically starts vibrating once moisture is sensed and automatically stops once it is completely absorbed.

Best for… Lifting

Beauty Bar 24k Golden Pulse Facial Massager Bar, £11.99 (amazon.co.uk)

This sculpting T-bar vibrates and pushes skincare products into the skin as well as kick-starting lymphatic drainage, resulting in lifted, sharply defined contours. ■■How: Gently push it upwards in slow motion over cleansed skin. Use it around your cheekbones and jaw to sculpt and carve out some definition.

Best for… Redness

001 Skincare London Cryopress Ice Facial Massager, £78 (wolfandbadger.com)

Inspired by clinical cryotherapy, this massager is -8C when frozen, and the cold temperature helps increase blood flow to the face while calming skin. ■■How to: Store in the freezer and use on cleansed skin. As soon as you start rolling it over your skin, it triggers a continuous burst of oxygen and nutrients, while flushing out impurities. Use for 15 minutes at

least once a week. Good for acne and eczema.

Best for… Antiageing

Sensilift Anti-Ageing Non-Invasive Skin Tightening, £279 (boots.com)

Combining radio frequency and massage technology this works deep into the layers of the skin to boost its collagen and improve elasticity.

It can also treat the neck, decolletage and hands.

■■How to: Simply place the tool on your skin and move the device in a slow circular or back and forth motion. Use for five minutes, once a week.
