The Best Skin Care Tools to Get Spa-Level Results at Home

Pricey? Yes. But the reviews speak for itself in terms of this skin care tool’s worthiness in claiming a spot in your regular skin care regimen. This small, yet mighty, handheld device utilizes microcurrent technology, which sends low-level electrical pulses through the facial muscles to help lift, tone, and contour the face as well as improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It’s not only clinically proven to improve facial contouring, but it’s also FDA-cleared, which means the FDA’s given their stamp of approval in terms of its value, worth, and abilities.

This face roller also uses microcurrent technology to lift, tone, and improve the appearance of your skin.

This device also promises to help boost blood circulation, which can help give the skin a more youthful and vibrant appearance.

No matter how diligently you wash your face, deep cleansing can be hard to do on your own at home without the help of a device like this one, which uses a vortex vacuum system to actually extract impurities within the pores, including blackheads, sebum, and makeup.

As a final touch, it emits a blue light to further prevent breakouts by killing the bacteria that causes acne (p.acnes).

Microdermabrasion is a skin care technique that uses controlled blasts of teeny tiny crystals to exfoliate, or gently slough off dead skin cells from the skin’s surface.

When you exfoliate, you’re sloughing off dead skin cells on top and revealing healthier and younger-looking skin underneath. While microdermabrasion treatments at a spa can cost several hundred dollars per session, this tiny device can offer results for a much smaller investment. It utilizes spinning-disc technology to achieve the same results and comes in nine colors.

It not only helps keep the skin looking clear and smooth, fresh and clean, but also helps prevent future breakouts by cleansing the skin from impurities.
