The wisdom coming from the skincare experts has long been a simple routine of cleanse, tone, moisturise. Fast forward a few years and we’ve learnt to add serums, essences, acids and simple beauty tools. And while the original twice-a-day regime is still an important part of caring for your complexion, there are some amazing innovations that can help you get even better results – and often in less time. From addressing the first signs of ageing through to getting that ‘I’ve just had a facial’ dewiness without stepping foot in the spa, you’ll find what you need to help achieve your skin goals here. 

As you might have noticed from the peach fuzz chat all over social media lately, dermaplaning is one of the biggest beauty trends of the year so far. Not sure what it is? Peach fuzz is the light fine hair that covers your face. It’s barely noticeable in most people, but removing it provides effective exfoliation that allows skincare products to penetrate your skin more deeply. This can be done in salons, with a treatment called dermaplaning, but if you want professional results at home then give the Dermaflash Luxe a go. Fans also love the smoother complexion regular dermaplaning provides, making makeup application more flawless.

For those with acne-prone skin, who find extraction during facials a must, the Sarah Chapman Pro Pore Refiner will mean you can get similar results at home. This three-step extraction tool uses thermo-therapy, ultrasonic vibrations, focused suction and more to lift away dirt and oil, removing stubborn blackheads. Tackling daily build-up is a key part of keeping skin looking clear, which is why the cutting-edge kit comes with a mini of the brand’s Ultimate Cleanse.

Truly clean skin is the cornerstone of any skincare routine. If you’ve already moved from a foaming cleanser, to a muslin cloth and on to the double cleanse, then now is the time to incorporate a cleansing device into your regime. If you’ve tried a cleansing brush before but were put off by the harsh bristles, try the silicone head of the BeGlow Tia MAS to boost the power of your favourite cleanser, but with a much gentler and more effective antibacterial clean. With three intensity levels to choose from it not only gives you a deeper clean tailored to your skin type, but it also helps to contour and tone.

If you’ve ever had an LED facial, you’ll know the results are incredible. A non-invasive treatment that stimulates the body’s natural cell renewal process, light therapy facials are beloved by celebrities and experts for their glowing results. The treatment is often recommended to people suffering with everything from acne to visible sun damage, to repair skin and restore a clear, radiant complexion. To really get that professional experience at home, you’re going to need something special: The MZ Skin Light-Therapy Golden Facial Treatment Device is powered by LED (light-emitting diode) technology and features five colour settings, each designed to address a different complexion concern – from reducing signs of pigmentation to calming sensitive skin.
