We have iPhones, tablets, electric toothbrushes, even robotic vacuum cleaners, so why in the world are we still washing our face with our hands? How old-fashioned. It’s time to modernize your beauty routine and bring it into the 21st century. Say hello to what we call “electro-beauty,” the latest in skincare. We are not talking about the complicated looking machines that make strange sounds and cost thousands of dollars found in your dermatologist’s office. We are talking about the state-of-the-art little electronic helpers that will bring the latest in beauty technology right into your own bathroom.
CLARISONIC
Let’s start with washing your face. No more harsh soaps or cotton pads. If you haven’t hopped on the Clarisonic bandwagon yet, try the new way to remove your makeup, oil, and impurities from your face using the latest technology. A rocket scientist is behind the invention of this easy-to-use portable device that uses an advanced sonic frequency and moves Clarisonic’s soft, gentle brush back and forth at more than 300 times per second. You could not do that with a cotton pad, now could you? It thoroughly cleanses your pores and skin’s surface for results that are nothing short of impressive. And there is an added bonus: not only will your skin be super clean, but your moisturizers or serums will be better absorbed into your skin, increasing their effectiveness. From $100 and up.
TALIKA
Youth through light. That’s the promise of an electronic device from a French brand called TALIKA and their Light 590 Collagen Booster. Don’t be fooled by its small size (it is similar to the size of your compact powder). Even if small, it helps you tackle two most visible signs of aging: wrinkles and loss of skin elasticity. This anti-aging light therapy device has been created based on NASA research. So how does it work? In scientific language, it emits a pulsed wave that acts specifically on the fibroblasts, triggering a bioenergy process that reactivates collagen and elastin production. Translation? It uses a particular light wavelength to activate the creation of collagen and elastin in the areas that have been particularly weakened by time, pollution, and UV rays. This orange light stimulates collagen production not only on the face but also on your hands and neck. The results of the light therapy are generally visible after 28 days. Around $400.
TANDA ZAP
Here is another high-tech device that promises to solve your nightmare beauty emergency: pimples! The Tanda Zap is the triple threat for pimples: it uses powerful blue light to destroy acne-causing bacteria while subtle vibration and gentle warming help to open pores so bacteria is exposed to the zit-zapping light. It remains fully effective for 1,000 uses and is safe for all skin types and tones; it causes no dryness or irritation. It is clinically proven to clear or fade blemishes within 24 hours. $49.
NO!NO!
There is also a high-tech gadget that will help you with that one routine we never look forward to – hair removal. Until now, each option came attached with its unique drawbacks. Shaving is terribly time-consuming and has to be repeated daily. Waxing is painful while hair removal creams can be smelly and irritating to the skin. Electrolysis is effective and nearly permanent, but it’s also expensive to the point of being outside of most women’s budget. The at-home beauty devices come to the rescue even here. The hair removal unit called the No!No! uses a thermodynamic wire to painlessly heat and kill hair follicles, resulting in permanent hair reduction. No!No! instantly removes hair and stays away for weeks with no pain, no mess, and no chemicals. It can be used on your body or for unwanted hair on your face and costs upwards of $200.
While there are many cosmetic treatments that should be obtained from a professional spa or from a dermatologist, these advanced beauty tools allow you to perform essential treatments in the comfort of your own home. So plug-in and get beautiful!
