Skincare and skin treatments have become a global phenomenon in recent years. More and more people are putting more effort into looking after their skin and skincare routines.
Despite this, skincare and skincare treatments done in professional settings can cost a pretty penny. This gap in the market allowed for the rise of at-home skincare treatments.
These devices not only work well, but you can also use them from the comfort of your own home. It is a one-time investment to have access to your favourite skincare tools at your fingertips.
LED Light Therapy Masks
LED masks are used both in professional settings and at home to treat a number of different skin issues. The different coloured lights target different skin issues:
Red light boosts collagen, reducing wrinkles and promoting skin elasticity and healing.
Blue light kills acne-causing bacteria and reduces oil production for clearer skin.
Green light reduces dark spots, melasma, and sun damage while improving skin clarity and even tone.
The quality of the mask really makes a difference in your results. These results may take a while to show, but when they do, you won't be able to get enough.
LED Wands and Spot Care Treatments
With all the benefits of the regular LED mask, these spot care treatment wands target the problem area directly, rather than treating your entire face.
These wands are a cheaper alternative to the LED masks and are mostly battery-powered. This eliminates the stress of constantly having to charge your devices and makes them more accessible for everyday use.
Microcurrent Devices
Microcurrent devices provide non-invasive facial toning. These devices will help with the firming of your skin, producing collagen and elastin.
With these devices, your face will look firmer and plump, but with regular use, they will have your face looking more lifted and sculpted in the long run.
Derma Rollers
Microneedling and Derma Rollers can help reduce the appearance of scars and wrinkles and support the overall health of your skin.
This process creates tiny, invisible wounds in the skin, triggering collagen and elastin production, which helps firm the skin and minimise scars and fine lines.
Experts recommend choosing a roller with hypoallergenic stainless steel or titanium needles no longer than 0.5 mm and keeping it clean with rubbing alcohol before each use.
Facial Steamers
Having your face steamed professionally is up there with the most enjoyable part of a skincare treatment experience. The steamer opens the pores to allow the products being used to penetrate deeper into the skin.
A Facial Steamer should fall in the second step of your skincare routine, after using your cleanser. This is to help hydrate the skin, which is especially beneficial coming into the winter months.
This is a good starting tool to begin building your at-home skin care treatment collection.
By using these products at home, there is always the risk of misuse. Educating yourself on the proper practices of each of these tools can not only keep your skin barrier safe, it can also help you to see results quicker.
