This Heated Razor by Gillette is Like Getting a Barbershop Shave at Home

If I’m being honest, my two least favorite things in the world are to go to the grocery store and shave my face. And while I can’t just stop eating, in the past I’ve gone way too long without shaving—a mistake I regret looking back through my Facebook photo uploads. But now in 2020, shaving doesn’t have to be so miserable because razors are more than the janky plastic sticks that left us dabbing cuts with toilet paper in the ninth grade. (Not hating on all disposable razors, there are some great ones out there!)

But when it comes to advances in shaving, one new tech-forward razor is poised to be a game changer. The Heated Razor by Gillette Labs claims to be the world’s first heated razor, offering “the pleasure of a hot towel shave in every stroke.” That’s right, no more dousing your skin and blade in hot water to get the comfort of a hot shave experience. And as someone who loves the luxury experience of getting a fancy shave at the barber rather than going it alone in my tiny Brooklyn bathroom, it only made sense to test this razor out for myself.

Like I said, this isn’t the razor you learned to shave with. In fact, it’s not like any other on the market. This $200 electric razor is designed to heat in less than one second to provide an ultra-comfortable shave at a temperature you select (109 or 122 degrees Fahrenheit) thanks to a stainless steel warming bar located on the base of the disposable razor cartridge. As it’s electric, the razor sits on a sleek magnetic charging dock that has to be plugged into the wall. It’s also waterproof and can be used in the shower or the sink, which makes sense, because, you know, it’s a razor. The razor also uses Gillette’s “FlexDisc technology” to provide an even shave and “maintain skin contact,” which can be trickier than one might think when shaving the face.

Smart Temporal Thermometer – Thermo | Withings

Thermo is a game-changer. Now, a fast, simple, no-contact gesture yields medical-grade results right on the device and provides an automatic sync with the free Thermo app, available for iOS and Android. In the app, you can track temperature readings, set reminders, and input related symptoms & medications for advice right on your smartphone.

An easier, better way to take anyone’s temperature

Thermo measures from the temporal artery considered an ideal place to detect temperature changes, as the blood that circulates there comes from the core of the body. 16 infrared sensors take over 4,000 measurements—a revolutionary advancement, and what we call HotSpot Sensor Technology.

No contact with skin required

Enjoy a contactless scan up to 1 cm from the forehead. Unlike other thermometers, Thermo does not need to come into contact with anybody’s fluids, such as saliva, perspiration, or earwax. It is the most hygienic way to take anyone’s temperature, as Thermo does not need to be cleaned between each measurement.

Instant feedback

Readings appear illuminated on the device along with a color-coded LED indicator to tell you if the temperature is normal, elevated, or high based on the age of the user.

Comprehensive Health Journal

In addition to tracking temperature and symptoms, you can enter comments, medications, and even photos in any user profile. This helps you see if the treatment is effective and allows you to have a complete history to share with a doctor.

Know when it’s time to take action

Measurements sync automatically with your smartphone. Based on age, fever history, and symptoms, the Thermo app gives advanced health advice. And Boston Children’s Hospital provides Thermia™, educational information on proper medications and dosages.

  • FSA-ELIGIBLE ITEM – If you have a flexible spending account with your employee health plan, no doctor’s prescription is needed to purchase a Thermo smart temporal thermometer
  • HIGH PRECISION – Thermo has 16 infrared sensors that take over 4000 measurements to provide a highly-accurate result

J-Beauty vs. K-Beauty: What’s the Difference?

J-Beauty vs. K-Beauty: What’s the Difference?

Judging by the number of its recent converts and passionate admirers, it’s safe to say that Asian beauty and skin care is not just a trendy, of-the-moment craze that eventually gets pushed aside as its viral status fizzles out. In fact, we have seen Korean beauty or K-beauty take the spotlight in the last couple of years. But that’s not all. In recent months, its Japanese counterpart, or J-beauty, has likewise landed itself on the radar of beauty and skin care connoisseurs. Now, we’re not here to join in on the great K-beauty versus J-beauty debate of 2018. Besides, why choose between the two when we can definitely benefit from incorporating both beauty philosophies into our own skin care routines?

Difference Between K-Beauty and J-Beauty

Before discussing what makes each of these beauty cultures distinct, it’s important to point out that while K-beauty and J-beauty have different approaches to skin care, they share the same goal and attitude when it comes to skin health. “Both K- and J-beauty focus on hydration as well as reduction or prevention of pigmentation (brown spots and melasma). They both involve sun avoidance and protective barriers against sun exposure,” says board-certified dermatologist Anna Guanche, founder and director of Bella Skin Institute.

While both put great emphasis on cleansing (Japanese women even introduced us to double-cleansing), hydration and potent formulas made with the highest-quality ingredients—K-beauty and J-beauty—often differ in their methods. “Japanese skin care is more reserved. While considered innovative and science-driven, J-beauty is more about functionality and simplicity with long-term results,” says skin care expert and beauty chemist David Pollock, founder of JustAskDavid.com. Japanese beauty draws from their culture’s rich heritage and centuries-old traditions, evidenced by their uncompromising commitment to harnessing highly effective indigenous ingredients, simple yet proven formulations and minimalist, no-frills regimens. Japanese beauty also relies heavily on scientific research and innovations, ensuring product quality and long-lasting benefits. “I would say that J-beauty demonstrates a philosophy of practicing a skin care marathon rather than a sprint,” Pollock adds.

How to Use Ozone Steamer for a Versatile Range Of Aesthetic Treatments

How to Use Ozone Steamer for a Versatile Range Of Aesthetic Treatments

How does the ozone steamer work?

This ozone steamer converts water into steam and ozone. The machine has a water tank and an electric resistance to heat it. The steam comes out controlled by a diffuser, which should be placed on the treatment area. When ozone generation is activated, within the device an ultraviolet lamp converts the  O2 (Oxygen) into O3 (Ozone), which is then expelled by the diffuser.

The steam, which comes out slowly and without drips, generates a pleasant feeling and multiple positive effects on the skin.

What are its effects?

Treatments with ozone purify and oxygenate the skin, not only the face but also the body. The steam has the following benefits:

  • Opens pores, helping to get rid of pimples, blackheads, traces of makeup and impurities.
  • Purifies and hydrates the epidermis.
  • Relaxes the muscles, sense of well-being.
  • Stimulates glandular function, helping the elimination of toxins.
  • Promotes blood circulation and clears the nasal passages.

In addition, ozone steam has two important effects:

  • increases tissue oxygenation as well as celullar
  • bactericidal and germicidal effect; it helps remove bacteria and deeply purify the skin.

Ozone steamer treatments

The versatility of this device allows for use in multiple treatments.

Facial cleansing treatment

For the aforementioned benefits, ozone vaporizers are used to perform deep cleansing of the face, often accompanied by the use of specific lotions.

Aromatherapy treatment

Some steamers have a small deposit for essential oils. This compartment can be found in the head part, along with the diffuser that the steam comes out of.

With this treatment, which can be used separately or as a complement to another treatment, a pleasant feeling is generated. The micro diffusion of essences, i.e, an aromatherapy session, deeply relaxes and creates a sense of well-being.

Complement to other treatments

Ozone Vaporizer

The steam opens the pores and facilitates deep cleaning of the skin. Therefore, the vaporizer is often used for purifying treatments.

In addition, it is also used in many other treatments: such as facial rejuvenation treatments, peeling, masks, etc. In this case, once the cleansing has been done, the vaporizer is used to keep the pores open and achieve maximum penetration of the product and its active ingredients.

Also often used are circular massage techniques or with a brush to further increase product penetration.

WHY ARE WE OBSESSED ABOUT GUA SHA & GEMSTONE ROLLERS

WHY ARE WE OBSESSED ABOUT GUA SHA & GEMSTONE ROLLERS

While gua sha massage tools and gemstone rollers are certainly not new (they’ve been used in China for hundreds of years), you may have only started to notice them in magazines, on social media and in Gwyneth Paltrow’s hands over the last few years.

While many beauty fads come and go, we understand why gua sha and gemstone rollers aren’t going anywhere anytime soon! They offer a soothing at-home skincare experience with numerous benefits.

In this article, we’ll cover:

  • What is gua sha
  • The uses and benefits of gemstone rollers
  • How to choose a gua sha tool and gemstone roller
What exactly is Gua Sha?

In traditional Chinese medicine, gua sha is the practice of using a flat massage tool to scrape the skin in an effort to improve circulation, relax muscles and reduce inflammation. Essentially, it breaks up fascia, the connective tissue around muscles, which then prompts the body to repair it by making more collagen. Usually made of jade or rose quartz, it is believed that gua sha tools and massage technique can also help stimulate stagnant energy aka your body’s ‘chi’ which can result in better over-all health.

Some women use gua sha tools to help relieve engorged breasts that are overly full of milk, while others swear by them to help relieve tension in their neck, scalp and face. While there are no formal studies or evidence to support these uses, it’s also quite popular among those who suffer from migraines.

The Uses and Benefits of Gemstone Rollers

Naturally cool and soothing, gemstone rollers are used on the face and neck in an upwards/outwards motion to help reduce puffiness, invigorate blood circulation and to give the appearance of refined pores. They can also be used as a great way to help your skin absorb serums and oils.

Perks of Best LED Light Therapy Masks To Boost Collagen and Bust Acne

Perks of Best LED Light Therapy Masks To Boost Collagen and Bust Acne

Getting to a dermatologist these days isn’t as easy as it used to be, but there’s one skin-care trend that can come to you: LED light therapy. It was once exclusively available at the doctor’s office, but thanks to the best LED light therapy devices, you can get all the perks without leaving your couch—and the rewards are many.

Red LED light triggers collagen production and reduces inflammation, while blue light treats acne by killing the breeding bacteria that causes breakouts. LED light therapy can also help repair cell damage, improve skin texture and brighten your complexion. If you’re worried about getting burned, don’t fret—there are no ultraviolet rays in LED light therapy masks.

LED light therapy masks and devices have come a long way and now offer the same professional technology at home, though getting a treatment at the doctor’s office tends to deliver stronger results, so at-home devices may take longer over time. The way LED light therapy works actually isn’t so different from topical skin-care ingredients, since skin cells have receptors for LED. Once the LED light enters a skin cell, it can do its job, such as triggering the skin to produce more collagen, for example. LED light therapy works by exposing the skin to different wavelengths of light to treat a slew of skin concerns.

You can use an LED light therapy device as part of a morning or evening skin-care routine, but regardless of the time, they should only be used on clean, dry skin. When an LED light therapy device is paired with the right skin-care products, such as serums, it can make an even bigger difference. Give your skin a boost with the best LED light therapy devices.

1. Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare DRx SpectraLite FaceWare Pro LED Light Therapy Device

BEST OVERALL

It only takes three minutes for this FDA-approved LED red and blue light mask to zap fine lines and the bacteria that causes acne. You can opt for just red or blue light or use both. Taking inspiration from the laser treatments in Dr. Gross’ dermatological practice, this mask delivers the at-home version. In addition to its anti-aging perks—including reducing wrinkles and dark spots as well as firming—it’s been clinically proven to clear acne in two weeks. If you’re all about a spot treatment, downsize to the Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare SpotLite Acne Treatment Device instead.
