Cosmetic gadgets worth spending money on

There are so many new technologies in the beauty industry that it can sometimes be difficult to keep up with them. The FDA has approved home IPL and home lasers. Of course, LED and infrared treatments have been offered for years, but now they are easier to use and in some cases at a lower price.

Scroll down to see our current favorites and why we love them.

This unique device is a laser, not an LED device. Designed for home use, it reaches the base layer of the skin to treat redness, scarring, discoloration, blemishes and signs of aging. The powerful laser is expensive and requires several months of use to see noticeable results, but it is painless, has no downtime and can be easily used for a few minutes a day (e.g. while watching TV).

If you’re looking to give up shaving this summer… and beyond, it’s time to try an IPL hair removal device. It may take a few weeks to see results, but using the FDA-cleared Ulike portable IPL device is simply a pleasure. Put on the included aviator safety glasses and you’ll be targeting priority areas like your face, bikini area and underarms in just a few minutes. There is also a speed mode for legs. This is the dream of everyone who struggles with bumps after shaving or has recurring ugly facial hair.

This tiny wand is easy to pack for summer trips and you won’t want to leave home without it, especially if you have sensitive or acne-prone skin. It uses four scientifically proven treatments: red light therapy, facial massage, galvanic currents and therapeutic heat.

This razor-sized device can be used while reading the morning news, off-camera Zoom calls, and everything in between. Although it takes a few weeks to notice smoother skin and fewer wrinkles, the warming, vibrating mechanism works really nicely, making these few minutes of your day truly feel like self-care.

With seven light treatment options (red, blue, green, yellow, cyan, purple and orange), this mask addresses skin concerns such as acne, inflammation, wrinkles and redness. Allow the mask to go through all the colors or leave one of them on for the full 10 minutes of the session. Whether you use your time to meditate, watch your favorite Netflix show, or multitask around the house, we love this treatment for many reasons. And at $199 it doesn’t break the bank.
