The ultimate beauty gadgets for brighter, firmer and clearer skin
See the beauty team's verdict on the new school of skincare tech
Beauty gadgets have revolutionised almost every aspect of our regimes, and there's now a clever device to aid almost any concern. When it comes to hairstyling, many of us have a whole toolkit of gadgets to hand, from hairdryers to hot brushes and straighteners, enabling a salon-worthy blow-dry. But this year it's in the skin arena where innovation has really been driven forward, with a host of clinic-born technologies entering our homes, from microcurrent to radiofrequency, and even laser light therapy.
Beauty gadgets, the Bazaar top five
- Best laser: Lyma Laser, £1999
- Best LED: Dermalux Flex, £1999
- Best microcurrent: Ziip Halo, £379
- Best radiofrequency: Déesse Pro Sculpta, £499
- Best facial steamer: Sarah Chapman Skinesis Pro Hydro-Mist Steamer, £138
While a face serum or cream can work wonders on surface brightness and glow, a good beauty gadget can go deeper, bringing about results that bridge the gap between topicals and tweakments, all from the comfort of your own home. Personally, I'm beholden to my Lyma Laser for finally calming my reactive complexion, while Bazaar's beauty editor Medina Azaldin raves about her ZIIP microcurrent device for lifting and contouring. Beauty writer Katie Withington looks forward to using her facial steamer after a long day. And the one to unite us all? A good LED face mask is a prerequisite in any beauty expert's stash: and happily, this particular category has undergone rapid development in the past year.
From an expert-formulated massage tool for better product penetration to slick steamers for deeply cleansed pores, these are the beauty devices we think are truly worth the investment.
