Beauty Tools For Anti Aging
Beauty tools are an integral part of any at-home skincare routine, from cleansing
brushes to exfoliating sonic spatulas and more beauty device. They help you to achieve healthier,
younger-looking skin by removing dead skin cells, gently sloughing off peach fuzz
and helping your products to sink in better.
Whether you’re a newbie or a seasoned beauty buff, there’s a tool out there for
everyone. If you’re just starting your skin-care journey home skin tightening device, it helps to know what types
of tools are available and which ones will best suit your skin type.
A Moisture Meter
“A moisture meter can be a very important tool for your at-home skincare routine
because it can tell you what your skin actually needs,” says board-certified
dermatologist and docent medical advisor Dr. Farhaad Riyaz.
The device uses a tiny probe that gets pressed into the surface of your skin, which
then shows you what percentage of moisture your complexion is currently at. It also
lets you know if your skin is oily or dry, which means you can start to adjust your
skincare regimen accordingly.
A Red LED Light Mask
The latest addition to celeb facialist Shani Darden’s coveted collection, this mask
delivers red, blue and near-infrared light to fight inflammation, reduce the look of
blemishes, even out discoloration and minimize fine lines and wrinkles. It’s a good
choice for sensitive skin, as it won’t irritate or burn, but it does take some time to
use if you’re treating your entire face (you hold the LED mask up to each problem
area for three minutes).
A Microcurrent Device
If you want to tackle hyperpigmentation in a more targeted way, try a microcurrent
device, which uses small electrical pulses to reduce redness and improve overall
texture. It’s a safe and non-invasive way to address the issue, says Dr. Doshi, who
recommends trying a product with these pulsations for at least six weeks before you
start to notice results.
A Gua Sha or Massage Tool
Another manual treatment to reduce redness and irritation is a gua sha, a Chinese
tai chi-inspired technique that’s known to work wonders on inflammation. This gua
sha is portable, and has a small head that can easily be moved anywhere on your
body to target problem areas.
A Facial Cubing Set
You’ve likely seen these cups in the market, and they’re a great alternative to
traditional cupping. They don’t bruise or mark up your face, and the suction they
produce helps drive away puffiness to reveal more defined features.
They can also be used for eye-care treatments, like removing under-eye bags and
softening fine lines with refrigerated creams or serums. They’re also incredibly easy
to use and clean, thanks to their bacteria-resistant silicone and glass construction.
A Contour Face Machine
If you’re looking to sculpt your cheekbones and jawline, this zinc-based contouring
tool is a good option. It features dual roller balls that shave away the appearance of
fine lines and wrinkles, and a smaller roller on one end is perfect for targeting the
inner corners of your eyes.
