High-tech beauty devices worth investing in

With most of us working from home, we'd be remissed not to take the opportunity to simulatenously beautify ourselves while answering emails from the couch.
And with our professional beauty treatments on hold 'til further notice, there’s no better time than right now to invest in at-home beauty gadgets that provide salon-quality results. And trust us, there are loads!
Whether it’s your laser hair removal, LED light therapies or pampering pedicures, here’s just a few gadgets to stay looking and feeling great in quarantine.

FOREO UFO2 ( $395, available from April 19, 2020)
No, this is not an alien from outer space, however the capabilities of this little skin device do seem out of this world. The upgrade from the original UFO to the 2 features superior technology to treat skin concerns and infuse ingredients even deeper into the skin.
Made to be used in tandem with FOREO's single-use facial masks (which are sold separately), this app-enabled device works it’s masking magic in just 90-seconds with full-spectrum LED light, as well as Thermo-Therapy, Cryo-Therapy and T-Sonic pulsations to boost the skin's absorbency.
Rodan + Fields Pore Cleansing MD System
The thought of literally sucking all the gunk out of our pores is more satisfying than popping a pimple. The Pore Prep Solution is applied first to break down stubborn oil, dead skin cells and debris. Then targeted tips give you the perfect combination of pressure and suction to extract gunk and blackheads for visibly minimized pores. WARNING: This tool is addictive! Remember, everything in moderation.
Peppy Co LED Light Therapy Mask ($179, peppyco.com)
If you’ve ever had a professional LED light treatment, you’ll attest to their greatness – not only are they super relaxing, but their benefits for calming the skin are amazing. This Peppy Co medical grade Led Light Therapy Mask offers three powerful therapeutic lights that you can use while watching your next Netflix binge:
Blue light: This helps combat the appearance of acne, makes you skin less oily and promotes anti-inflammatory effects.
Red light:This slows the signs of ageing by promoting collagen and revitalises the appearance of your skin.
Yellow light: To boost the oxygen in your cells, in turn helping prevent pigmentation and sun-damage.

FOR YOUR BODY…
Happy Skin Co Gen2 IPL hair Removal Handset ($299, happyskinco.com)
If you’re worried about looking like a Yetty at the end of this time in jail (uh-hum, lockdown) then get lasering, pronto. HappySkin Gen.2 is the new and improved at-home IPL hair removal handset that’s more powerful, has a quieter and more efficient fan and a 20 per cent larger light window – so you can treat more area in a flash!
Nu Skin® ageLOC® Galvanic Spa®
Technically for the face – this device also has an adaptor head for the body and scalp too! Using microcurrents through the conductor head, it stimulates the skin on the face and body for improved appearance, tone and circulation.
FOR YOUR HAIR...
Remington Proluxe Digital Dryer
Just because you can't visit the salon, doesn't mean you can't get a quality blowdry at home. Allow us to introduce you to Remington's lightest and quietest hairdryer, here to make arm aches a thing of the past. With a digital motor featuring 2300watts of power for faster trying, and steady heat distrubtion for frizz reduction, it's officially our new MVP.
Dyson Corrale Straightener ($699, dyson.com.au)
Just when you thought Dyson couldn’t invent anything cooler after The Air Wrap, they just did. A world first in the hot tool category, say hello to the Dyson Corrale. Despite looking like a regular iron, this one is a lot more unique with flexing plate technology (yes the plates bend!) to help gather the hair, applying even heat and tension so your strands won’t be singed or flattened - mind blown. Also, one temperature doesn’t fit all, so they’ve made sure you can choose from three precise heat settings, which regulate 100 times a second. Oh and did we mention it’s cordless?! It’s a lot to take in but all we’ll say is run, don’t walk!
FOR YOUR FEET…
Manicare pediPRO range
Put your best foot forward, in isolation, with these foot perfecting faves. the Manicare pediPRO callus file is double sided (fine and coarse) and uses Diamondcel™ multidirectional grit to smooth calluses with ease, whereas the Manicare pediPRO callus remover uses 240 micro blades to gently shave away dead, hard skin from your feet. If your tootsies just need a gentle buff, the Manicare pediPRO softroc™ foot exfoliator is great for everyday maintenance, and can be used on wet or dry skin.

Oh yes to all gadgets invented! I am using daily: ForeoLuna cleansing device, NuFace microcurrent (similar to Nova face fit bug I think), NuFace LED attachment for healing/anti-ageing light therapy (seems to be doing something!), monthly: IPL (omg, lifesaver!!), hair straightener and dryer.
They are all fun and love them. Not materialistic...but love playing with toys.

What a wonderful and a straight forward spell caster that has brought back joy and happiness into my life! Am giving this testimony because am so happy, I want to thank Dr. Osasu for the great thing He has done in my life , He brought happiness back to my life, I never believed in spell casters until my life fell apart when my lover of 6 years decided to call it quit almost when we wanted to get married. I was so emotional breakdown to the extent i could not do anything reasonable again, after 2months in pain before an old friend of mine introduced me to a spell caster on line called Dr Osasu, this was after I have been scammed by various fake spell casters. I was introduced me to Dr Osasu a true Spell Caster. In less than 24 hours i saw wonders, my lover came back to me and my life got back just like a completed puzzle, and after 1month later we got married and it was just like a dream to me because i thought i had lost him forever. Thank you Dr. Osasu for helping me but most of all, Your Honesty and Fast Accurate Results. email: Drosasu25@gmail.com WhatsApp Number: +2347064365391

I recently bought a Braun Silk epil 7. I'm trying to master it and it's been really good so far but there have been a few eye watering moments like the upper lip

These sound nice, but I like the time out that comes with going to a salon for these sorts of treatments. Can't wait until they all open again.
