Master The At-Home Facial: The Best Skincare Devices for a Smoother Complexion

Forget fancy facials and salon fees, with a growing number of expert at-home skincare devices like these on the market, your skincare routine just got a bit more exciting. Imagine saving on treatments and investing in your skin…smart technologies can help you get a salon-grade facial at home meaning you can get smooth, glowing skin at your leisure, wherever and whenever. We’ve found you the best tried and tested devices out there so you don’t have to.

Microcurrent

Microcurrent facial devices act as a gym for the face, helping to stimulate blood flow to encourage collagen and elastin production in the skin while toning and lifting your facial muscles like a workout. When used consistently, these devices can create effective results for a smoother, firmer, lifted look. They work by delivering low-level electric currents to the skin and muscles in the face, creating a rejuvenated, youthful appearance.

LED Masks

You’ve more than likely heard of or seen these devices around but are they worth the often hefty price tag? For a daily facial, we think so. Red light therapy uses a specific wavelength of red light delivered by LEDs or light emitting diodes to penetrate the skin’s surface to promote wound healing and new skin cell turnover. This can help accelerate the production of collagen, smooth fine lines, tackle redness, and help create a smooth skin tone for a clear complexion.

Cleansing Device

Another device that can be used daily for a quick facial with visible results, electric cleansing devices can help you get deep into your pores to get rid of any sebum build-up, blackheads, and blocked pores to help smooth out the skin. Devices with sonic technology can help improve skin texture by exfoliating dirt and dead skin cells for a brighter complexion. They do the heavy lifting for you – think of them like your face’s answer to an electric toothbrush.

Microneedling

A convenient alternative to hitting the salon, at-home microneedling pens can give you that clear complexion in a fraction of the time for a fraction of the price. Well known for improving skin texture, reducing the appearance of acne scars, fine lines, and wrinkles as well as combatting hyperpigmentation and dark spots, targeting uneven skin tone and enlarged pores, and even soothing stretch marks, microneedling is a great way to tackle your skin concerns for brighter, clearer skin. It works by making tiny abrasions in the top layer of the skin to induce reparative collagen production and stimulate your skin’s healing process to produce more elastin. Pens range in price from around £150-£300 depending on the brand but are a great investment for people suffering with acne scars or looking to combat ageing.
