Beauty and Tech
No longer is it just about the products you have in your beauty regime – it’s now all about the tools and gadgets you have at your disposal. Applying your cleanser just with your hands? There’s now a whole host of tech available to give you a deeper clean. As for makeup, there’s now every brush and sponge under the sun to apply it with. And no longer is there just a hair dryer, hair straightener and curler, there’s hot brushes, wavers, all-in-one hair curlers, driers and more – it’s hard to keep up. In this new age of beauty tech and tools, we’ve decided to take a deep dive in to some of the most impressive and popular gadgets on the market right now.
01. FOREO Luna 3 cleansing device
When you see a FOREO device for the first time, you might need to do some close up inspecting to figure out what it actually is, especially if you came across one of their devices when they first launched back in 2013. Their Luna cleansing devices have become somewhat of a staple for many in the skincare regimes. The Luna 3 aims to minimise the appearance of blemishes and also aims to tackle problematic areas when it comes to aging skin. In terms of use, apply your cleanser to the device, damp your face, then glide the Luna 3 over your face in circular motions gently massaging the cleanser into your skin. Then rinse and dry your face. Simple.
02. MZ Skin Light Therapy Golden Facial Treatment Device
Face masks have become an industry of their own. No longer are there just gel masks, sheet masks or clay masks, there’s now light therapy masks. While there’s no doubt about it you don’t want to be inviting guests round while you’re wearing this – let’s face it, it is slightly scary looking – it’s meant to produce amazing results in terms of diminishing hyperpigmentation, producing collagen
04. Jade Facial Roller
The jade roller is the older, more popular sister, of the gua sha. The beauty tool has gained major popularity as of late, and it looks like it’s here to stay. Like the gua sha, jade rolling has been around for thousands of years in ancient Chinese beauty rituals. The jade stone itself is said to be linked to good fortune and a symbol of youth. The beauty technique is meant to reduce puffiness in the face, reduce signs of aging, detox the skin and increase lymphatic drainage. Using the roller is quite simple, focus on the neck first away from the face, then work your way up always rolling away from the centre of the face. It’s recommended to go over a section for a minimum of three times and for the best results, use it after you’ve put your serum on, so you can really work it into the skin.
