There has never been more of a collision between the technology and the skincare world than right now. In fact, it honestly feels that while people have (and hopefully will always continue to) love their serums, lotions and potions, all the extra time, coupled with stressed out "iso skin", has just made everyone want to try ALL the things. Which seems pretty fitting for any skin savvy, product obsessed person if you ask me.
Innovation in the beauty world is where it’s at right now so we need to chat about the latest at-home and affordable skincare tools that can help transform our skin – and in turn, the way we live (or at least how long we commit to our ever-evolving skincare routines).
So let’s check out some of our favourite skincare devices to land in Australia below.
FOREO Espada
Are you a fan of blue light LED in-clinic treatments to help with your acne? Well, now you can harness the power of those blue light treatments at home (not exactly at the equivalent level of course but it’s better than nothing).
You see, blue light is known for its ability to kill p. acne bacteria in the skin (the bacteria that can cause it to spread in the first place). So while this might not be as strong, as soon as you feel a blind pimple coming on, or have any random bursts of acne, I’d cleanse and zap them with this, and your blemishes should visibly improve.
Plus, LED treatments for acne are amazing so if you’re yet to jump on the bandwagon this might be a good way to try it out for yourself - just ask content creator and makeup artist Maddie Edwards.
Hunter LAB Aura Sculpting Tool
Microcurrent devices are set to be huge and this is a newbie to the Australian market. It’s designed to harness your skin’s natural metabolic process and in turn, help your skin cells work more effectively.
Plus continued microcurrent use is said to lead to more youthful, healthier-looking skin. In fact, it’ll feel like a super gentle facial massage, that energises the facial muscles – while you do very minimal work.
This one by Hunter LAB is even more unique because it's solar-powered. Yep, that's right. No electricity needed. And if you're into the whole gua sha trend, this handheld tool is shaped like one to give you that snatched, sculpted look you're after.
