The Benefits of Using at-Home
Beauty Devices
If you’re in the mood for a little pampering but don’t have time for a trip to the
salon, there are at-home beauty devices available to help keep your skin looking
flawless and toned from the comfort of your home mall in Malaysia. But can they really deliver the
results they promise, or are they just a fad that won’t stand the test of time?
At-home beauty tech can be a great way to improve the efficacy of your skincare
routine, especially when paired with a good cleanser and a good facial oil. Some
devices even allow you to massage your complexion in a specific way to aid
circulation and increase blood flow, which can have a real effect on wrinkles, fine
lines and pores.
Some of the most popular at-home beauty tools include cleansing brushes and
dermaplaning devices, which remove dead skin cells from your face. These can be
gentle or aggressive, but the latter should always be used with a facial oil or
moisturizer to prevent irritation and dryness.
Foreo’s mini dermaplaning device, which is designed specifically to target early
signs of aging, can be a great addition to your at-home regimen. It uses a sonic
vibration to gently exfoliate the top layer of your skin, so that your products can
work better and you can see fewer breakouts.
There are also a number of at-home devices that help reduce pigmentation,
particularly redness, which can be an issue for some people. These are designed to
stimulate collagen production and help reduce uneven skin tone. These can be
gentle or aggressive, so check with your esthetician if you have sensitive skin or
want to use these in conjunction with other skincare treatments.
One of the most popular at-home beauty tools is the LED light therapy device, which
works by delivering visible wavelengths of red and blue light to treat acne and
wrinkles. However, it’s important to remember that these aren’t powerful enough to
tackle deeper concerns like clogged pores or stubborn dark spots, so consistency is
key to seeing results.
Using these at-home beauty tools can be a good idea in between in-salon
treatments, as they don’t emit UV rays or cause any damage to your skin, but it’s
still worth taking extra care with sun protection to minimise your risk of burning or
premature aging.
If you’re after a more intense at-home treatment, there are some microneedling and
microdermabrasion tools that can help reduce the appearance of fine lines, scarring,
and hyperpigmentation. These devices create microscopic punctures on the skin’s
surface, which trigger the body to produce more collagen and elastin and encourage
cell turnover. But they should be used with caution, as overly-aggressive usage can
physically injure your skin.
Other at-home tools, such as a gua sha tool, are designed to work on pressure points
and the neck to relive tension and assist in the circulation of blood. These can be
used in conjunction with a massage oil or cream to ensure a smooth glide.
