AT-HOME SKINCARE DEVICES: THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE UGLY
“At the end of the day, the best wrinkle is the one you never get.”
With many salons still closed and the threat of the virus still persisting, we may just as well try these at-home skincare devices available on the market promising as-good-as-spa (if not better) results.
The question is do they work? The short answer is yes and no. Here’s the lowdown.
Ultrasonic cleansing brushes and hair removal devices had the best track record for many years according to Philips and Wendy Lewis & Co Ltd. That might be because results are immediately tangible — less hair, cleaner pores — and fit easily into one’s daily routine — cleansing and shaving.
And there is a new kid on the block. A microsonic silicone cleansing device that is easy to hold, can clean the skin six times more effectively than hands and is very easy to keep clean and maintain.
Quartz rollers have been around for quite a while and come in a variety of shapes and sizes. Regardless of which quartz they are made of they do feel pleasant when used all over the face. I also recommend warming them under hot water before use to soothe sinus issues and for puffy, tired eyes cooling them in the fridge for fifteen minutes before use. Keep them clean with warm water and soap and stored in a soft cloth to avoid scratches.
