Over the past few years, technology and skin care have collided more than ever before, causing us to wonder: Could there soon be a day when all our precious serums and creams will be rendered obsolete, replaced by a bevy of high-tech tools and devices? The short answer is probably not.
No product-obsessed person would ever dare say “see ya later” to their beloved top shelf, but that’s not to say the aforementioned gadgets won’t seriously upgrade the skin-care game — and potentially shake up the industry as we know it.
Need proof? We have a Food and Drug Administration-cleared LED mask that’ll help reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fight acne and a vibrating facial massage tool that mimics your body’s natural lymphatic system.
Oh, and there’s an epidermal growth factor (EGF) Micro-Needling + Ion Infusion Kit from Georgia Louise to consider as well — which creates tons of tiny channels on your skin’s surface.
The tech-based options we’re exposed to seem to be increasing by the month, let alone year, so we’ve rounded up 17 dermatologist- and editor-approved skin-care tools worth trying out this year, including a handheld, LED light that literally zaps away the appearance of fine lines over time.
