Introduction
There’s a thrill that comes with buying a lipstick for a few dollars, especially when we consider how much we spent on our morning coffee. The thrill comes from knowing that we spent that money on something that we’ll use. But then thrill is gone when we think of the sinks we could throw our money down buying high end face devices that promise to look great, but really do nothing… In fact, they could be a weekend getaway for the money we spent.
Buying from an online retailer is a gamble, especially for the first few purchases. Buying face devices and LED masks could be throwing away money since they could just be cheap Halloween costumes.
I’ve put my money where my mouth is, and now you won’t have to. After falling for the dust capturing bathroom gadget trap, I have created a list of useful beauty tools that won’t be a waste in the end. These face devices work.
Main Review
1. Dyson Airwrap Multi-Styler
Dyson Airwrap i.d.™ Multi-Styler
It may be cliché, but starting the list with Dyson will be a shocking surprise for most if not all readers. The hype surrounding the Airwrap may in a normal marketing context suggest that the product is on the verge of being obsolete. However, the Airwrap’s smoothing feature and less extreme heat curlers will keep the demand for the products high. Additionally, all the products in the range styles and dries the hair as well as reduces the reliance on the upper body strength that is usually needed with a round brush to get the blow dry that the Airwrap provides. Its also a unique investment because it looks after the customers hair as they are using the tool. There is a learning curve, but most people give it three tries, and with customers committing to this, it is a wise investment.
2.NuFACE Trinity+ Starter Device Kit
NuFACE Trinity+ Starter Microcurrent Facial Device Kit
Like face Pilates, the NUFACE Trinity+ provides complete face microCurrent therapy as it focuses on the tissue and the muscles of the user’s face which are for the most part neglected especially during body workouts. The microCurrent works by sending soft and gentle waves which stimulate the muscles.
The result is a subtle snatched look– your cheekbones pop a bit more, your brows sit a little higher. It’s great prep for a big event. But the real magic is consistent use. Do it for 5 minutes a day, 5 days a week, and after a month, the result is undeniable. It won’t erase your deep wrinkles overnight, and it won’t permanently alter your face, but for surgical and injectable free lifting and contouring, it’s the best. Plus, the ritual of the gliding cool metal balls over your skin and the conductive gel is unexpectedly meditative.
3.NEWKEY LED Face Mask Light Therapy
NEWKEY LED Face Mask Light Therapy
Yes you will look like Iron Man. Yes you will scare your dog. But this mask is probably the best skincare tech on the market. Most handheld led devices require you to painstakingly move a wand around your face for 20 minutes, but theNewkey LED face mask is a strap it on and forget it solution.
The device has red and blue lights. Red light heals injuries and calms swelling while blue light eliminates the bacteria that cause acne. The entire cycle lasts a short time so you won’t have to spend too much time on it. This means you are able to do it while you are brushing your teeth or making your morning coffee. If you have frequent acne breakouts and want to stop fine lines from developing, the last minute skin care routine will help you to get cheap skin care device from going unused.
4. Mason Pearson Universal Nylon Hair Brush
Mason Pearson Universal Nylon Hair Brush
In the 21st century, seeing a bristle hair brush being sold at an even higher price than a MacBook Air, or even an iPhone Pro Max, may seem a little unusual. The Mason Pearson hair brush has earned it’s place among the greatest hair styling tools of all time.
The popular brush uses The nylon bristles help to remove knots. The rubber pneumatic brush will leave you with a massage-like feeling. This hair brush is built and ready to last a lifetime, and you don’t just buy a brush, you buy an inheritable item.
5. FOREO LUNA 4
FOREO LUNA 4 Face Cleansing Brush
Are you still washing your face by hand? That is gross. And if you use one of those brush thingys that spin, you’re probably hurting your skin. So, try the FOREO LUNA 4.
It’s made of super-clean silicone, and it uses T-sonic pulsations to get dirt, oil, and makeup out of your face. Since silicone is non-porous, it doesn’t get gross in the way that other face scrubbers do, and you don’t have to buy new heads for it. FOREO LUNA 4 is the softest so far, and you can do customizable treatments with it. It makes your skin super smooth and gets it ready to soak in those expensive serums. It turns a regular face wash into a nice spa treatment.
6. T3 Switch Kit Interchangeable Styling Wand
T3 Switch Kit Professional Ionic Interchangeable Curling Iron
Do you have commitment issues? Then this tool is perfect for you! The T3 Switch Kit gets rid of the janky tangled irons in the drawer with 3 different ceramic clip barrels. There is a straight barrel one for uniform spirals, a tapered for beachy waves and one with a 1.5-inch straight barrel for more volume and body.
What distinguishes the T3 device is the innovative, unique technology called “SinglePass”. There is a microchip in the device that detects the heat and makes sure that the temperature is even throughout the entire device, avoiding the problem of being too hot and burning the hair, while also not being too cool and causing the curl to not hold. The design is beautiful on a vanity, and the quality of the curls is undisputably comparable to a salon. Even difficult hair that does not curl is able to be transformed.
7.simplehuman Sensor Mirror, 5″ Round Rechargeable Mini Travel Makeup Mirror
simplehuman Sensor Mirror, 5″ Round Rechargeable Mini Travel Makeup Mirror
Not knowing is ignorant, until you walk outside into the sun and see the unblended line of foundation on your skin. The simplehuman Sensor Mirror is a truth telling device, and that is a compliment.
The lighting system uses a full spectrum of colors just like natural sunlight, showing how your makeup will truly look when you step outside. The lighting turns on automatically when your face gets close to the mirror, which makes you feel like you’re in a sci-fi movie. The 10x magnification hits the sweet spot, since it will allow you to adjust your eyeliner to perfection, pluck a stray brow hair, and magnify you enough to avoid obsessing over every single flaw. Doing your makeup in the mirror will make you realize how difficult it is to do it in a poorly lit bathroom.
8. Dermaflash LUXE+ Anti-Aging Dermaplaning Device
DERMAFLASH LUXE+ Sonic Dermaplaning Tool for Face
In the past, dermaplaning, which is the practice of shaving the face to get rid of dead skin and peach fuzz, was done in the office of a dermatologist. With the addition of the Dermaflash LUXE+ device, the practice is done in the privacy of your own home.
Why do this? Two main reasons. First, the glow. When you get rid of that top layer of old dead skin cells you uncover new skin that looks fresh and glowy. Second, the canvas. Makeup applies way better to skin that is smooth and not covered in peach fuzz. Your foundation will look airbrushed. The LUXE+ has safety features that most almost removes the chance for you to nick yourself, in contrast to those cheap disposable razors. The sonic vibration causes the blade to slide without any resistance. It’s a one and done deal. The instant gratification is in the tool and after one use, your skin will feel like velvet.
9. Bio Ionic 10X Ultralight Speed Dryer
Bio Ionic 10X Ultralight Speed Hair Dryer
The Bio Ionic 10X is the secret weapon of professional stylists if the Dyson is let’s say, not in your budget, or you just like a more traditional design. First things first, the weight, or the lack of it that is. The Bio Ionic 10X is less than one pound. If you have thick hair that quite literally feels like a workout when you are drying it, this is a lifesaver.
This one is really something special. The “Volcanic MX” mix dries hair remarkably quickly, offers high shine, and is sleek and less damaging to hair. This means less burning and damage. Plus, it’s really quiet, like, REALLY quiet. Finally, it’s lightweight, and very easy to carry on the go. It’ll dry your hair and save your hair from damage from burning.
10. NuFACE Trinity+ Microcurrent Facial Device Kit
NUFACE is like the baby starter pack,a face sculpting and neck tightening device.
Microcurrent works muscles, and nanocurrent sends signals to the cells to boost collagen and elastin (that stuff that makes your skin tight and young). The accompanying app is great, “The Founder’s Favorite” is a really popular and for good reason. The app uses a lot of “inter personal” instruction and helps you really understand what to do for each purpose. The device feels like skin care, not a machine. The results really pile up and are really good for skin. Most people will be really happy just not looking tired (really). This is perfect for anyone who understands skin care and it’s purpose.
The Final Verdict
When it comes to beauty tools, a few hundred dollars can certainly feel like a lot of money. However, when you do the cost-per-use breakdown, it definitely helps to justify the purchase. These tools are going to be used every day, most likely, for several years. These tools are not quick fixes, but rather the beginning of a long-term relationship with you and the tool while building your confidence. Whether it is the time you save drying your hair, or the boost of confidence you have with clear, lifted skin, the right tool will keep giving you value long after the first purchase. Now, pick the one that fits your biggest concern, and get ready to shift your routine to an upgraded, more luxurious tool.
