How to Use a Beauty Device
Whether you’re looking for a way to treat the signs of aging or just want to upgrade
your current routine dr arrivo, there are tons of beauty devices on the market. While some of
these gadgets may seem like a waste of time and money, there are also some that
offer truly impressive results. Here, we’ve rounded up five of the best ones that
promise to help you look and feel your best.
Microcurrent Devices
For years, skincare insiders and celebrities have raved about the benefits of
microcurrent facial treatments, which use electrical currents to boost collagen
production and elastin fibers in the skin. They’re typically used by estheticians to
combat visible aging and improve the complexion. While this type of treatment can
be expensive, a number of at-home options have emerged in recent years.
But before you start using one of these gadgets, you’ll need to make sure it’s
actually working. For starters, a good microcurrent device needs a water-based
conductive primer to ensure it glides smoothly on the skin without stinging. Some
brands include their own, but if you’re looking for something cheaper you can also
try mixing aloe vera gel with salt to create a conductive gel.
LED Light Devices
If you’re looking for a fast and effective way to help diminish redness, dark spots and
acne, look no further than an LED device. These handheld devices can be applied to
the face, neck, or anywhere else on the body for a powerful radiance-boosting effect.
They’re especially effective on oily skin because they penetrate deeper and target
the C-acnes and P-acnes that are often the culprits of breakouts. But don’t stop
there: Worden recommends pairing your LED device with a serum or moisturizer
containing vitamin A or benzoyl peroxide to maximize results.
Dermaplaning Tools
If you love the feeling of sloughing off dead skin but can’t afford to see an
esthetician, consider getting rid of peach fuzz with this home version of
dermaplaning. Instead of a scalpel-like tool, this at-home shaver utilizes a vacuum
suction and exfoliating discs to gently remove dead skin cells on the face without the
bruising or pain of traditional dermaplaning treatments.
RF (Radio-Frequency) Devices
If the aging process has started to show its effects on your face, look for a device
that uses a specialized radio frequency to stimulate collagen and elastin fibers,
which will make your skin firmer and more resilient. This will improve the
appearance of fine lines and wrinkles as well as reduce the appearance of cellulite,
making you look more toned and youthful.
