The At-Home Beauty Tech That Replaced My Salon Visits

Purple Star emoji 12 items
I cancelled my monthly facial and put the money into devices instead. This list is what actually stayed on my shelf: LED masks, microcurrent, a microneedling tool and the two hair tools I would replace tomorrow if they broke. These are the higher-pri...

💡 LED & light therapy

Start here: the strongest evidence, the easiest routine, ten minutes a session.

The one I would buy first if you are only buying one. Ten minutes, three or four times a week, and the redness in my cheeks settled before I noticed anything else changing. It is a real device with clinical data behind it, not a light-up gadget, whic...
Omnilux Contour Face Antiaging Red and Near Infrared LED Mask
 
Begüm Kaya profile picture
The mask I recommend for people who want the full face treatment rather than a wand. It is comfortable enough to wear while answering emails, which is the only reason I keep up with it, and the jawline coverage is better than the cheaper masks I have...
LED Red Light Therapy Face Mask: Series 3
 
Begüm Kaya profile picture
The one I take on trips because it folds flat. It runs on a battery, so a ten minute session works on a plane or in a hotel, and the red plus near infrared combination is the same idea as the big masks in a travel body. The strap is the part that let...
Red Light Face Mask
 
Begüm Kaya profile picture
The gateway device: heat, red light, microcurrent and a massage head in one wand. It is not as strong as the NuFACE, but it is the one I actually use on holiday because it takes ninety seconds and fits in a makeup bag. The warming head is what makes ...

⚡ Microcurrent & facial tools

Stronger devices that reward consistency. Read the routine before you buy.

Microcurrent is the closest thing to a non surgical lift that I have used. Five minutes on each side, and my jaw looks less heavy in photos the next morning. It needs consistency and a conductor gel, so buy it only if you will genuinely do it three t...
NUFACE TRINITY+ Facial Sculpting Device Kit
 
Begüm Kaya profile picture
The Korean device that made me take at home radiofrequency seriously. It is stronger than it looks, the app guided routine stops me guessing about placement, and the pore tightening on my nose is the most visible change I have had from any device so ...
AGE-R Booster Pro
 
Begüm Kaya profile picture
A cleansing brush that does not strip my skin, which is rarer than it sounds. The silicone is easy to keep clean, the app routine is short, and it is the device I use most often simply because it takes two minutes in the shower and never irritates my...
FOREO LUNA 4 Facial Cleansing & Massager
 
Begüm Kaya profile picture
The one with app routines that actually teach you where to place it. The nanocurrent setting is subtle and takes weeks, but the lifting around the brow is the effect people ask me about. Buy it if you like being guided rather than guessing, and if yo...
Microcurrent Facial Device | ZIIP HALO

Microneedling at home, done gently. Twice a week with the collagen infused roller head, and my serum absorbs differently the morning after. It is the cheapest of the devices here and the one with the steepest learning curve, so start on the lowest se...
BeautyBio GloPRO Get That Glow Facial Microneedling Discovery Set

💇 Hair tools

The two I would replace tomorrow, plus the honest cheaper alternative.

 
Begüm Kaya profile picture
Expensive, and still the tool I would replace immediately. It dries and styles at the same time, which cut my getting ready time in half, and the curl barrels hold on my hair type without the heat damage I used to get from a straightener. The case is...
Dyson Airwrap™ Multi-Styler Complete Long
 
Begüm Kaya profile picture
The dryer I did not believe was worth it until I used one for a month. It dries thick hair in half the time, the heat is controlled so my ends stopped splitting, and the magnetic attachments make it feel less like a tool and more like part of the bat...
Dyson Supersonic™ hair dryer
 
Begüm Kaya profile picture
The honest alternative to the Airwrap at half the price. It converts from dryer to styler, the barrels are hot enough to hold a curl, and I recommend it to anyone who wants the shape without the investment. If you are unsure, start here and upgrade l...
