From reducing fine lines to improving skin texture and conditions, technology makes it easier to achieve the healthy-looking skin and hair we love in the comfort of home. Skincare novice or a beauty enthusiast, here are the best beauty devices to enhance your home beauty regime.
Face Sculpting and Lift
Just as we tone the muscles in our bodies, Medicube’s Age-R Derma EMS Shot (S$269) helps us tone and lift our facial muscles (hello, V-shape face). Using EMS microcurrent, short for Electrical Muscle Stimulation, to stimulate and massage our sub-dermal muscles, the device supports skin elasticity and improves the appearance of lines on our faces. The microcurrent also relaxes areas that hold tension – tensed eyebrows and furrowed brows. Some buyers’ online reviews claim that its effects are similar to Botox. Say goodbye to laugh lines, crow’s feet, and droopy brows with Age-R Derma EMS Shot.

Brighten Skin and Refine Pores
This handy little device packs a punch. With seven inbuilt technologies and four personalized modes, Ést.Lab’s Lumiglow Smartskin Buddy (S$298) is your all-in-one facial device. Mode one combines thermal compress and sonic vibration for deep cleansing; mode two adds LED red light therapy to boost nutrient absorption. Calm the skin with mode three, cryo compress and LED blue light therapy, and kill acne-causing bacteria. Reduce pigmentation and boost luminosity with mode four, which combines sonic vibration and LED green light therapy. It’s like having a facial in a flash!

Daily Deep Cleansing
With all the makeup and grime building up throughout the day, you want to make sure you get every bit of it off your face. Osim uGlow Cleanse Facial Cleansing Brush (S$99) has a GlowSonic Cleanse Technology that will pulsate away all the dirt, oil, and makeup residue. Its soft silicon bristles will give you a massage and gentle exfoliation; turn it around and use the LED light therapy after your skincare routine to stimulate collagen and reduce sebum. Flip it over and use the warm chrome finish ball to massage your tension away. Talk about multi-purpose.

Target And Treat Acne
Every now and then, breakouts flare up when our pores get clogged with dead skin cells and bacteria. Want those zits to disappear quickly? Try treating acne-prone skin with Foreo’s ESPADA (S$259) Blue LED light treatment device. Combining focused blue LED light and T-Sonic pulsations, this clever device destroys acne-causing bacteria at its source while stimulating blood circulation to facilitate skin renewal. It quickly reduces inflammation and blemishes and regulates sebum production to prevent future breakouts. It effectively soothes swollen bumps and makes them disappear quickly.

Soothe Tired Eyes and Dark Circles
If life has left you looking like a puffy-eyed panda, Ést.Lab’s Optimalift A+ Intelligent Eye Revitaliser Tri-Action Massager 2.0 (S$106) is your eye-tech device. It comes in three modes that massage, soothes and repairs the area around your eyes. With a combination of technologies, the device uses sonic vibrations to boost circulation, reduce puffiness, and enhance absorption of eye nutrients; thermal therapy to relieve and soothe fatigue; and LED red light therapy to promote regeneration and repair. It’s perfect just for massaging tired eyes after a long day at work.

Pain-Free Hair Removal
No need for expensive IPL treatment packages at the salon when you get the same effects in the comfort of your home. Ulike Sapphire Air+ (S$399) is the best-selling hair removal device in China, and from its make, it’s easy to see why. It has a patented Sapphire freezing technology that actively cools your skin as it zaps away unwanted hair. The cooling sensation reduces any pain or discomfort, and unlike some other devices, this comes with infinite flashes.

Smoothen Flyaway Hair
With their famed bladeless technology that dries hair up to six times faster than other dryers, Dyson has changed how we style our hair. The brilliant team has engineered a new attachment, the Flyaway Smoother (S$699) for the salon-finished look. Instead of struggling with a brush and the hair dryer, the Flyaway Smoother attachment is a styling concentrator and a round brush that lets you blow and style at the same time. Start with the smoothing mode to style and dry, then switch to the flyaway mode for that sleek and shiny finish.
