BOOST FACIAL CARE WITH AT-HOME DEVICES
Although salon facials are back on the table, it’s arguably better for your skin to be getting effective treatments on a consistent, day-today basis at home. Regular masking is well and good, but it’s time to take your home facial up a notch with DIY skincare devices that mimic professional ones.
Take Luna 3 Plus, the latest offering from Swedish skintech brand Foreo, for instance. A cleansing and skin-firming beauty tool rolled into one, it delivers gentle heat for a thorough cleanse, and microcurrents to stimulate and tone facial muscles for a smoother, more lifted appearance. There’s also Dr Dennis Gross’ DRx Spectralite Bodyware Pro, an FDAapproved light therapy device that tackles wrinkles, acne, hyperpigmentation, and even achy muscles and joints with red and blue lights.
Some products fuse the tech with the skincare itself, such as the Revitaleyes Concentrate from local facial chain Porcelain. A lightweight gel that promises to tackle all your eye woes from fine lines and dark circles to saggy skin, it comes in a tube with a massaging applicator that automatically switches on upon skin contact, delivering microcurrent and high-frequency microvibrations to boost repair and circulation. Similarly, Charlotte Tilbury’s CryoRecovery Face Mask works cryotherapy and acupressure into the product, which is a reusable silicone sheet mask with metal beads that target specific acupoints, and pockets of cooling gel to firm and refresh skin.
It’s not just the face that gets to enjoy professional-like treatments. With products like Braun’s Silk-Expert Pro 5, an at-home IPL device for permanent hair removal, you don’t even have to head to the salons any more. Boasting technology that can read your skin tone and adjust the light intensity accordingly, plus three comfort levels, it offers a safe and fast way to de-fuzz in the privacy of home.
