As budgets tighten amid economic uncertainty, inflation and tariffs (prompting some brands to raise prices), many beauty buffs are opting for more DIY skin care treatments. When you can’t always get to your favorite facial spa, or you want to recreate your own luxe beauty studio at home for touch-ups between appointments, some of the best at-home facial tools and devices can help.
“This is one of the most neglected things in an at-home routine so before I dive in on my favorites a pro tip: I’ve started to see a crop of new multi-purpose devices hit the market. I’ve played with many of them and in my opinion they are ‘an inch deep, mile wide’ in efficacy,” celebrity facialist Sarah Akram tells The Hollywood Reporter. “Stick to at-home devices that are the best in that particular modality, whether it be microcurrent or LED as two examples.”
Healthy — not flawless — skin is always the goal, and thanks to a variety of incredible celebrity skin-care pros like Shani Darden (whose clients include Hollywood entrepreneurs Jessica Alba and Shay Mitchell) and The Things We Do founder Vanessa Lee (who works with Khloé Kardashian, Cardi B and Gabrielle Union) who share their skin-care secrets on social media, it’s also more attainable than ever.
Keep in mind that no two skin types are the same, and no two outcomes using these tools will ever be the same. So whether you’re just starting your skin-care journey or are a seasoned enthusiast looking for new tools, here’s a roundup of some of the best home facial tools and beauty devices that are getting rave reviews from Hollywood insiders and skin-care lovers alike.
