If hydrating your dry hair feels like a battle you can’t ever win, maybe your water is to blame. This chlorine-removing shower filter can soften your strands.
If you haven’t heard, Dyson has completely re-thought the hair dryer, with a design that’s comfortable to hold, lighter, quieter, and less damaging than your regular dryer. The dryer’s three attachments are magnetic, too and don’t get hot so you won’t burn your fingers trying to remove them.
This tiny device uses fractional laser technology to boost collagen production around the eyes, firming and tightening the area, and reducing the look of fine lines and wrinkles. Plus, it’s kind of a dream that this treatment can be worked into your nightly routine (the whole thing takes two minutes, total).
Iluminage’s Touch Permanent Hair Reduction tool uses a blend of laser and radio frequency technology that’s safe (and effective) on just about any complexion. It’s also the best hair-removal bet for blondes and redheads.
If you’ve ever had an in-office microdermabrasion treatment, you’ve probably already wished you could replicate the post-treatment glow at home. This device makes it happen, removing dead cells from the skin’s surface for a smooth look that glows. It also leaves the complexion prepped and primed for products, improving the efficacy of your serums and moisturizers, and also perfecting your canvas for makeup.
Avoid those scary (and confusing) situations where your perfect foundation application turns out to be cakey—or worse, the wrong shade—as soon as you step outside, by applying it with the right light. Simplehuman’s light-up vanity mirror mimics the sun, so you’ll get the most accurate picture while primping.
There’s a reason why your manicurist uses a hot towel to your hands after lotion, and why a cold compress can reduce swelling in the eye area. This handy tool from Bliss has a metal pad that goes from hot to cold in seconds (and back again). Use its cold setting to smooth on eye cream while refreshing the eye area, and the warm setting to make your active serums really sink in.
We know that acne can be caused by a plethora of things, and so far, even the best dermatologists haven’t pinpointed a definite cure-all. With that said, when bacteria gets involved, redness and inflammation follow. Tria’s acne-clearing blue light device uses wavelengths of light that destroy bacteria deep within the pores, so if it’s bacteria that’s causing (or worsening) your flare-ups, this little machine could do wonders to clear and prevent breakouts.
