BEAUTYBIO GLOPRO MICRONEEDLING TOOL, £199 Microneedling has been a popular beauty treatment for some years now. By gliding a number of tiny needles over the skin, causing tiny punctures, it both exfoliates and triggers skin cells to produce new structural proteins, such as collagen and elastin, while increasing blood fl ow. After cleaning my face, I rolled it all over in diff erent directions and afterwards my skin was red and fl ushed. It’s advised to apply beauty products immediately afterwards for more eff ective absorption of key ingredients so that’s exactly what I did. About an hour later my skin looked smoother and nicely plump. Available from

BEGLOW TIA, £199 T is multi-use device promises three benefi ts: cleansing with a waterproof silicone brush head, contouring with high and low frequency pulses that increase muscle strength, giving way to a lifted eff ect, and overall skin improvement through the pulsating titanium applicator, which improves circulation. While the brush makes a worthy add-on to aid with cleansing, the pulsating feature made my skin feel considerably reinvigorated. After a long day staring at a screen it brings relief to your facial muscles. With continued use, I look forward to seeing the long-term lifted eff ects it promises — I’ll be keeping a close eye on my frown line. Available from

HOMEDICS ILLUMI HOT COLD BEAUTY TREATMENT, £79.99 T is device can heat to 42C to help products reach deeper into the skin, or you can cool to 16C with or without products to help refresh and soothe your skin, decreasing puffi ness. T e cold setting is great for puff y eyes and feels lovely fi rst thing in the morning or to bring relief to tired facial muscles. T e heated plate, however, I was less sure of. Heating your skin and then moving onto make-up application wasn’t very enjoyable. For evenings, it isn’t so bad but will take some getting used to. I found I needed to use more product than usual to allow it to glide over my skin, but that might be good for me. Available from

CRYOPRESS ICE FACIAL MASSAGER, £75 Cooling your skin to temperatures between -8C and 2.5C triggers increased blood circulation in an attempt to warm the skin, this brings more oxygen and nutrients to the cells and increases lymphatic drainage (which, in layman’s terms, reduces puffi ness). It promises tightened skin, smaller pores, both brighter and clearer skin, and even claims to improve scar recovery and skin conditions such as rosacea, eczema and psoriasis. It worked well, I saw an instant and dramatic change to my complexion. It turns out this isn’t technological at all — you just have to put it in your freezer. Online from

PMD KISS, £89 T is gadget uses ‘pulsating vacuum technology’ to plump lips in minutes, promising eff ects that last hours — with daily use giving long lasting results. T e amplifi ed blood fl ow is meant to increase collagen production and it comes with a serum containing moisturising and anti-ageing ingredients. T ere’s been many a dangerous social media craze for at home lip plumping. Most recently, young people were reported to be super glueing their top lip up. T is gadget simply uses suction, which may seem a bit low tech and gimmicky, but it turns out it really does the trick and it is very gentle. I was impressed. Available from
