Gadgets that will improve your beauty routine

If you’re looking for new ways to upgrade your beauty game, beauty gadgets are the way to go. Not only do they allow for targeted treatment, but they also offer convenience, save time, and stop you from splurging on expensive salon treatments. 

It’s easy to get lost in the world of tech so knowing which tools are must-haves and which are nice-to-haves is essential. Here, we round up the gadgets you’ll need this year. 

For your skin

Mirror, mirror on the wall…

If you want to be the fairest of them all, you need to strip down and see your skin for what it is. A cosmetic mirror helps to get a closer look at your skin and allows you to apply makeup flawlessly and to tweeze your eyebrows to perfection. They come in a range of prices – fit for any budget – and offer various added extras like super magnification or illumination.  

We love:
•    Beurer BS 55 Illuminated Cosmetic Mirror
•    Sorbet Tranquil LED Standing Mirror

Love the steam you’re in

Is there anything more relaxing than a salon facial steamer after a long, hard day? Yes! Enjoying it in the comfort of your home. With your own facial steamer, you’ll be able to treat your skin (especially those prone to breakouts) to a deep clean at the push of a button. 

Try this:
•    Sorbet Nano Facial Steamer

Just roll with it

Facial rollers are still all the rage right now – and we’re all for it. The gentle massaging effect of a facial roller helps to reduce puffiness, boosts circulation, and can offer anti-ageing benefits when used consistently. 

Get started with:
•    Sorbet 3D Facial Roller Massager
•    Clicks Massager Set Rose Quartz

For your hair

Airy fairy

Think of it as a brush that works smart, not hard. A hot air brush takes convenience to a new level with its ability to touch up hair when you’re in a hurry or on the go. It combines the best of a hairdryer and a flat iron to achieve smoother locks in no time.

We like:
•    BaByliss Airbrush 800W Midnight Luxe
•    Beurer HT 80 Rotating Hot Air Brush

Taking charge

No matter your hair type, convenient styling is always a plus. And with a heated styling tool that uses a USB rechargeable battery or is cordless, you can enjoy fuss-free styling, wherever your adventure takes you. 

Power up with:
•    Sorbet Drybar USB Rechargeable Hair Curler
•    Beurer HS 20 Cordless Hair Straightener

Cool curls

If you’re taking a break from heated styling tools but still want a head full of bouncy, frizz-free curls, try a heatless curling scrunchie. They’re affordable and effective, and they lock in moisture with minimal damage to your strands.  

Try these:
•    Brushworks HD Heatless Curling Scrunchie

For your nails

Gel gal

If limited time or a reduced budget is standing in the way of you and the gel mani/pedi of your dreams, why not make it happen at home? A nail dryer will help your polish dry faster and some even have a gel polish lamp; most are compact enough to carry with you when you’re travelling. 

Add to cart:
•    Safeway 2-In-1 Nail Dryer
•    Beurer MP 48 LED Nail Dryer

How pro can you go?

With the rights tools and a YouTube tutorial or two, you could be well on your way to becoming a nailcare pro. If you haven’t yet upgraded your manicure/pedicure set to an electrical one that has separate parts for each step – from basic filing and buffing to the quick and easy removal of callouses or ingrown hair – now’s the time to get serious about your nail health.

These are great:
•    Beurer MP 62 Manicure/Pedicure Set
•    Beurer MP 41 Manicure/Pedicure Set
