Tool Time - All The Important Beauty Tools

Most of us will do pretty much anything to look more beautiful, right? We will spend an entire paycheck on beauty products, trying every anti-aging treatment on the market, as we pluck, wax, and shave away each hair, whiten our teeth, and arduously apply tanning creams—perhaps even simultaneously. So when it comes to beauty gadgets, we are all about them.

But with so many choices out there it is easy to become overwhelmed and feel unsure about what to try. To help you pick the fabulous from the forgettable, here is a roundup of five salon-worthy, at-home beauty gadgets.

Bliss Lean Machine

Not everyone has the time to go to a spa or the money for a pro cellulite treatment, and sometimes creams and lotions just don’t cut it—which is exactly why Bliss created this new contouring system.

Here’s how it works: Start by applying a thin layer of Fatgirlslim cream, which is loaded with caffeine and comes with the contouring kit. Next, place the Lean Machine vacuum massager against your skin, moving the device in a circular motion over your legs or stomach to promote circulation and, in turn, reduce the appearance of your lumps and bumps.

I know what you’re thinking, but believe me—I, too, am skeptical of any kind of product that promises to reduce the appearance of cellulite, but this tool has received rave reviews! http://www.blissworld.com/

Tria Hair Removal Laser 4X

Another beauty gadget with fantastic reviews, the Tria Hair Removal Laser is the perfect investment for those who are tired of waxing, shaving or getting expensive laser hair removal treatments.

The only FDA-approved laser available for home use, this gadget has a sleek, handheld design and slim handle that make treatments super easy on your face or body. To activate the tool during use, simply place the treatment window on the area you want to laser (which should be freshly shaven and clean). When the entire window is flat on your skin it will automatically deliver its laser pulse and beep twice. Then you simply move the Tria over about one-fourth of an inch and repeat until finished with the area. www.triabeauty.com/

GLO Brilliant Personal Teeth Whitening Device

You probably think that you have seen it all when it comes to teeth whitening, but think again. This at-home teeth whitening system uses groundbreaking technology to deliver professional, clinically proven, long-lasting results with up to eight shade changes and no sensitivity.

The key to GLO’s innovation is its patent-pending GLO Whitening Mouthpiece, which combines heat and light built directly into its closed system, form-fitting design. This hot gadget also features an automatic, hands-free design, with pre-timed eight-minute session intervals for easy use. Now that’s something worth smiling over. www.gloscience.com/

Evolv Sidekick

Sure, soaking up the sun’s rays may seem like the easiest way to get a tan, but doing so puts your health at risk and guarantees that your skin will age prematurely. So go fake, and give yourself the deep, rich tan without leaving your house.

The Evolv Sidekick is the first and only home heat-infused airbrush tanning system. As such, this two-step tanning system preps your skin and gently keeps it dry throughout the application with warm air. Infused with skin-loving vitamins and oils, you will be left with a flawless, long-lasting tan every time. evolvsunless.com

Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare Steamer Solutions

Steaming your skin is a fabulous way to stimulate circulation, infuse hydration, exfoliate and soften your pores. Unfortunately, this beneficial and relaxing treatment is generally only enjoyed at the spa due to a lack of well-priced, professional-grade steamers on the market—until now.

This beauty gadget—a favorite of estheticians and dermatologists alike—allows you to achieve the ultimate DIY clinical facial and give your skin a little extra TLC. Simply add distilled water to the steamer’s tank, plug it in, and enjoy.  https://drdennisgross.com/products/pro-facial-steamer
