Waking up super tired calls for a third shot of espresso in your morning latte. Skin concerns, like an inflamed pimple or puffy under-eyes, call for adding a high-tech beauty tool to your skin care routine because sometimes, topical products are limited in what they can do. These devices deliver similar modalities a dermatologist or esthetician would offer you, but at levels safe for at-home use. So if I can’t schedule an in-office treatment when I’m dealing with a particularly large zit on my chin that won’t go away or need to look sculpted after a long flight, I reach for my red LED mask or micocurrent wand for a little extra help. The same scenario is applicable to my hair care routine. Without fail, all of a sudden my roots will need to be touched up, but my colorist is booked solid or my iCal is too packed to fit in a trip to the salon. Enter an at-home hair color device. On the flip side, beauty tools also serve as an easy self-care moment, which make them a great holiday gift.

Maybe you have friends and family like I do who consider trying new beauty products a hobby. Or maybe you have a loved one who really needs to prioritize rest and relaxation in the new year. Either way, a device will level-up their routine, with options for each and every skin concern, hair type and go-to style.

Ahead, I’ve compiled trending skin care and hair care tools that live up to the hype. Spoiler: It’ll be tempting to want to treat yourself.

Skin Care Tools

Currentbody LED Light Therapy Face Mask: Series 2

Currentbody’s LED mask is the one-size-fits-all of skin care gifts. The device is safe for all skin types and addresses a slew of common concerns such as inflammation, fine lines, wrinkles, and redness by stimulating collagen production which, in turn, improves elasticity, skin texture, and tone. The updated version of the mask features stronger wavelengths and a revamped silicone shape that contours the face for added comfort.

MedicubeAGE-R Booster Pro

There’s a simple explanation why this Medicube wand is all over TikTok and has received a seal of approval from Hailey Bieber: It’s like having a customized aesthetic treatment in the palm of your hands. The best-selling facial tool in Korea, the Booster Pro is a compact, six-in-one device, featuring electroporation, microcurrent, EMS, electric needles, LED, and sonic vibration. This means it can treat a range of concerns (or multiple ones) depending on what your skin needs on any given day.

TheraBodyTheraFace Depuffing Wand

With late nights of festive revelry on the horizon, the TheraFace Depuffing Wand will come in clutch the next morning. It offers both cold and hot treatment modalities in three pre-set temperatures that help minimize under-eye puffiness, improve elasticity, and boost radiance.

Shark Beauty FacialPro Glow

Getting a spa-like facial without leaving your house is a reality with Shark Beauty’s FacialPro Glow in your possession. Whenever my skin is in need of a glow-up, I use this exfoliating and hydrating treatment system to clear my pores and restore radiance.

OmniluxBlemish Eraser

Evict the zit that’s been living rent-free on your chin with Omnilux’s Blemish Eraser. After applying the brand’s hydrocolloid patches infused with salicylic acid and green tea extract antioxidants, you place the device on top. It uses blue light wavelengths to kill surface bacteria and red light wavelengths to minimize inflammation, pigmentation, and redness.

NuFACENuFACE Mini+ Starter Kit

For nearly 20 years, beauty editors, celebrities, and estheticians have been raving about the NuFace. The microcurrent device has become a cult-favorite skin tool because its low-level electrical current instantly lifts and tightens the face. The original is of course a must-try but I like the mini version because it perfectly fits smaller areas of the face, like the brows and nasolabial folds.

Hair Care Tools

L’Oréal Paris Colorsonic$125

Is your colorist booked solid until the new year? Stretch out your last root touch-up session with L’Oréal’s Colorsonic. The pre-mixed dye cartridges offer mess-free application while the wand’s brush tip ensures the color is evenly distributed for salon-worthy results.

Ghd Chronos Flat Iron in Cherry Chic

You’ll look forward to styling your hair post-blow dry when your flat iron is as stunning as this Ghd cherry one. The Chronos’ beveled edges prevent creases in your hair, so it’s perfect for creating sleek styles or beachy waves.

Pattern The Hair Steamer

Designed to help moisturize, detangle, and stretch curls and coils, Pattern’s Steamer transforms wash days into a full-on treat yourself moment. What’s more, the steam also makes leave-in conditioners and masks better penetrate your strands.

Shark Beauty Shark Glam

Confession: I’ve gotten dozens of tips from top hairstylists while interviewing them for my job as a beauty editor, but I’m terrible at blowouts. Yes, I’ve tried countless brushes and dryers but I just can’t get the arm coordination down. However, the Shark Glam is truly foolproof because it only requites one hand to use and it comes with attachments that’ll achieve virtually any style you’re after, from bouncy curls to smooth and sleek. Even better, it can be used on both damp and dry hair.

LaduoraDUO 4-in-1 Pod Based Scalp & Hair Care Device

Your scalp is also skin, and it deserves the same level of TLC you give to your face. That said, if the thought of a multi-step routine seems a little too time-consuming on top of your skin care routine, Laduora’s mutlitasking brush-like tool is worth a try. It combines LED, microcurrent, heated massage, and a pod that dispense a serum allover the scalp.
