They have the ability to sculpt, soothe, soften and deliver an unmatched glow when used consistently.

Well, not every tool is created equal, and deciphering the facts and what is just hype can be confusing.

Plus, they can cost a pretty penny.

To separate the overhyped from those that really deliver, we asked the experts to spill on the tools they rate – just in time for and Cyber Monday shopping, so you can hopefully nab them at a discount.

ZIIP Halo Microcurrent Facial Device, £379.99

Dr Sonakshi Khorana, and aesthetic doctor, says: “I rate this device, because it combines microcurrent and nanocurrent – a clever blend that stimulates collagen and elastin production over time.

“Studies on microcurrent therapy show improvements in contour, tone and skin elasticity for skin that looks smoother and more sculpted.

“The best bit is it fits into a realistic routine.

“Sessions are short, there are multiple waveforms so you can tailor it to your skin’s needs, and it enhances how well your works, too.”

The Original Unbraider, £39

Award-winning cosmetic chemist Milan K Scott says: “This is brilliant, because it makes taking down braids – one of the most dreaded parts of protective styling for black girls – so much easier.

“I can’t tell you how many hours I’ve spent unbraiding my , but this cuts the task down to a fraction of the time it would normally take.

“The ergonomically designed tool also reduces friction and breakage – a big win for maintaining my healthy textured hair.”

Omnilux Contour Face, £348

Dr Clare Kiely, consultant dermatologist and founder of The Skin Diary, says: “This LED mask emits red (633nm) and near-infrared (830nm) light – and trials using these specific wavelengths have shown reductions in wrinkle depth and improved skin elasticity after four to eight weeks.

“The difference may be modest, but is significant with continued use.”

Dyson Airwrap Co-anda2x multi-styler and dryer, £579.99

Hairstylist Clare Hurford says: “I’ve been an early disciple of the Dyson Airwrap since its 2018 launch.

“I love it because it works on all hair types, can be used on wet, damp and dry hair, and even the hottest setting won’t cause damage.

“The price can be a shock – it’s definitely an investment buy – but with all it does, you’ll only need one tool.

“Plus, you can trust the brand for longevity – my original Airwrap is still going strong after seven years of excessive use.”

Foreo Luna 4, £189

Consultant dermatologist Dr Mary Sommerlad says: “For those with oily skin prone to milia and comedones (under-the-skin spots with no visible head), evidence suggests the sonic waveform of a cleansing device, such as Foreo Luna 4, may help improve texture and reduce blemishes.

“This is because it gently exfoliates impurities, sebum and clogged pores.

“I would suggest using only a few times a week in the evenings when you’ve taken off your .

“But it’s not a substitute for managing a concern with prescription medication.”

CurrentBody Skin LED Light Therapy Face Mask Series 2, £399.99

Dr Edel Woods, aesthetic doctor and founder of ORA Clinic, says: “I love CurrentBody Skin LED Light Therapy Face Mask Series 2 because it delivers genuine, clinically proven skin rejuvenation without any downtime.

“It’s also incredibly easy to use, 10 minutes, three to five times a week, and you really notice the difference in radiance and texture.

“It uses dual-wavelength red (633nm) and near-infrared (830nm) light, which have been shown in multiple peer-reviewed studies to stimulate fibroblast activity and boost collagen production.

“These wavelengths penetrate the dermis to reduce inflammation, improve wound healing and enhance overall skin elasticity.”

Oral-B iO10, £280

Fabulous Beauty Editor Tara Ledden says: “I am like a magpie when it comes to beauty gadgets – I want them all, but move on to the next thing if I don’t see results quick enough, so my flat is a graveyard of electricals that hardly get an outing.

“However, there’s one that gets used twice a day – my electric toothbrush.

“I’ve tried most brands out there, but always come back to Oral-B, because of the oscillating brush heads, which make for a more thorough clean.

“The new iO range is much quieter than the previous Genius line, and the newest model, the iO10, is reduced to £280 from a whopping £800 at Boots this Black Friday.

“The older models come in even cheaper, like the iO9 for £180 down from £500.”

Hayo’u Jade Beauty Gua Sha, £45

facialist Michaella Bolder says: “As a facialist, I love the simplicity, ease and effectiveness of a stone gua sha.

“Regular use can help increase microcirculation, while helping to reduce puffiness, inflammation and excess waste and toxins in the facial structure.

“It also helps to calm and soothe the nervous system, helping you to find stillness and serenity within your body.”

CurrentBody Skin Laser Hair Removal Device, £579.99

Freelance beauty editor Tori Crowther says: “It wasn’t until I stopped using the CurrentBody Laser Hair Removal Device that I realised how incredible it was.

“Used every week for 12 weeks with top-up sessions thereafter, this device effectively slows down hair growth thanks to its 810nm laser diode, which makes shaving far less of a chore.

“It’s the only at-home laser hair removal device I’ve used that has resulted in significantly slower body hair growth.

“If I fall off the schedule of regular maintenance, I don’t feel that I’ve lost because I can start the cycle again at home, unlike laser hair removal in a clinic, which comes at a far greater cost to restart.”

LYMA Laser

LYMA Laser, £1,999

Dr Yannis Alexandrides, plastic surgeon and founder of 111 Harley St and 111SKIN, says: “If you have a busy lifestyle that does not allow for downtime or if you can’t commit to a series of in-clinic treatments, I recommend the Lyma Laser for at-home use.

“It is clinically proven to reduce fine lines, wrinkles, sagging and hyperpigmentation in as little as 30 days, with sessions as quick as three minutes.

“It also promotes collagen production and improves skin texture.

“The key to seeing results, as with anything, is consistency.”
