TheraBody is famed for its home-based muscle-soothing massage tools, but the true gem often overlooked by wellness enthusiasts is the TheraFace. Resembling a gun, this versatile device boasts eight adjustable programs that target not only the surface of your skin but also the underlying muscles. Highlights include microcurrent toning, LED light therapy, and TheraBody’s hallmark percussive massage — a trio that packs a powerful punch in your skincare routine.
NuFACE’s mini microcurrent device is the unsung hero of beauty tech, sculpting cheekbones, lifting brows, and smoothing lines with ease — anytime, anywhere. Boosting skin elasticity and glow, this portable powerhouse works best with its two activators: the hydrating Aqua Gel Activator and the firming, brightening Silk Crème Activator, both designed to guide those microcurrents straight to your facial muscles. Dedicate just five minutes a day, five days a week, and watch as this tiny tool delivers results that feel almost out of this world.
LED was originally NASA technology, developed for astronauts to help heal wounds. A boon when you want to regenerate your skin cells. “LED treats the deeper cell layers,” explains Laura Bonné, founder of Copenhagen’s Amazing Space spa and skincare line. “The light energy is transformed into ATP energy needed to create collagen and restore skin tissue.” So no wonder we covet Bonné's LED device – featuring red light for frown lines and cooling blue light to take the sting out of a pesky zit.

If you’ve ever sacrificed hours waiting for fake tan to dry — or worse, surrendered pristine white bedding to streaky disasters —fake tanning can feel like a minefield.

Yes, this gadget might stretch the beauty budget, but it’s a game-changer for anyone concerned about hair loss. Much like LED’s transformative effects on skin, this device uses hundreds of red light waves and near-infrared gamma rays to target the scalp, boosting oxygenation at the roots and kickstarting hair growth.
A bit like a Nespresso machine for your hair, pods containing different hair treatments (sold separately) are attached to this next-generation device that then delivers the product via ultrasonic misting. Why? A super-fine spray is thought to maximise penetration of the nourishing ingredient into the hair shaft for softer, shinier strands in seconds. These actives are also more evenly distributed as a replenishing film over the hair and there's 20 times less product wastage, making it good for hair and the planet.
The Airwrap remains the reigning champion of hair care for good reason. As one of the most coveted and game-changing tools in the beauty world, it merges the tedious tasks of drying and styling into one seamless process.
