The anti-aging industry is one of the most profitable markets in the consumer world, because it practically sells itself. You don’t really have to market the fountain of youth … who doesn’t want to look young and vibrant forever? From tools to injectables, there are so many angles from which to approach aging. We like to embrace it. With a little help from our friends, of course.
When we say embrace, we mean age gracefully. The term “anti-aging” itself is a little tricky, and misleading. We can’t not age, so why be anti the inevitable? We just want to do everything within our power to ease the process, and exude our version of perfect health in the meantime. Here are some of our favorite little at-home gadgets that keep us looking as smooth and sculpted as we naturally can.
Phototherapy 7-Colored LED Mask
Price: $199
Mirabella Beauty
At-home wearable hands-free technology. Enjoy the benefits of LED Light Therapy at home, at work, wherever you want a quick beauty boost with zero downtime.
Uplifting Heart Gua Sha
Price: $34
Jenny Patinkin
This slick little tool is very old school, but having a moment in the spotlight due to some rediscovery in the beauty world. It’s a beautiful and smoothly carved piece of stone, usually one with gorgeous color and high-vibrational properties like jade, rose quartz, or blue sodalite. It’s meant to massage and release tension in the neck and face, as well as aid in lymphatic drainage. This is major for depuffing, of course, but with dedicated use, it can work to prevent breakouts and smooth fine lines. Also, it feels amazing, even when you’re your own practitioner. Use it in the evenings for a well-deserved, restorative ritual pre-beauty sleep.
Derma Roller
Price: $75
Jenny Patinkin
The small needles on this roller might look intimidating, but it’s gentler than you think. Different than a jade roller, this little rolling tool doesn’t steamroll over the skin to depuff, but rather it makes tiny little pricks in the surface of the skin to promote natural collagen production, smoothing fine lines and shrinking the appearance of large pores. It also works to penetrate the layer of dead skin to help potent skincare products seep in deeper for more efficacy.
Microcurrent
Price: $495
Ziip Beauty
This powerful device is like a workout for your face. You work on toning your abs, so why wouldn’t you want to tone your jaw, your forehead, and around your eyes? It promotes a sculpted look to fight deep wrinkles and sagging, keeping your skin taut, alert, and rejuvenated. It feels a little crazy at first (you’ll actually feel your muscles pulsating!), but with regular use, real results ensue.
The Marma Facial Massaging Wand
Price: $38
Kansa Organics
By now it’s understood that facial massage is a crucial part of staying vibrant. It brings circulation to the surface of the skin, drawing nutrients and oxygen with it for healthy color and firmness. This Ayurvedic tool is made of wood and Kansa metal, which is meant to balance your doshas, chakras, and skin’s pH level so you get a little inner connection as well as some hard science. A well-adjusted pH level and better skin circulation can create clearer, plumper, and smoother skin.
