5 Anti-Ageing Beauty Tools That'll Give You Fabulously Flawless Skin

What's the point of splurging on expensive beauty products if you don't own a set of specialised skincare tools that will help extract its maximum benefit? 

Conventionally, you'd spot high-tech beauty tools solely at a dermatologists clinic. However, over the last few years, these devices have become accessible and readily available to a wider audience—and can be used in the comfort of your home! From the good old anti-ageing gua sha to the latest, trending technological gadgets, Vibhuti Arora, founder of House of Beauty, shares the top tools you need in your beauty arsenal. 

Anti-Ageing Gua Sha Tool

The gua sha tool has detoxifying and anti-ageing properties, and with just a few strokes of this skincare essential one can enhance their jawline, cheeks and forehead. "The beauty tool helps reduce neck lines and smile lines, along with relaxing forehead muscles and targeting facial contours. It also refreshes your eyes, assists in lymphatic drainage and lifts the facial muscle," explains Vibhuti. 

How to use–

Use textured curved edge for scrapping the forehead and neck.

Use smooth curved edge for smoothing the forehead, cheeks and neck.

Use short curved edge for targeting the under eyes.

Use notch to fit contours of the nose, chin, lips and brows.

HOB Face Lift Pro

The HOB face lift pro is India's first micro-currenting device. "Our face has multiple small muscles that are composed of muscle fibres. As we grow older our muscles become weak and our facial skin tends to sag. This particular device gives small electrical stimulations to the facial muscles to strengthen them, thus lifting them non-invasively in less than 15 minutes," she informs. 

How to use–

Charge the tool for 24 hours when using for the first time, followed by 2 hours of charging if running low on battery.

Massage and apply the activator collagen serum over your face beforehand. 

Clean the silver balls of the roller with a damp cloth after use, so that no residue is left.

Repeat once every 3 days for maximum benefits.

7 Colour Photon LED Face Mask

The 7 colour LED photon light therapy treatment focuses on skin brightening, scar removal, smoothening, removal of acne spots, wrinkles, fine lines etc. From targeting hyper pigmentation to increasing blood circulation and stimulating collagen production, each light serves a range of skin benefits. 

How to use–

Wash your face before the treatment.

Press the 'power' button to switch the LED mask on.

Press 'start/stop' to start the treatment.

Set the time by pressing the 'time' button.

To set the mode, press the 'colour' button.

To adjust the intensity, press the 'energy' button.

Facial Cups

"Facial cupping is an excellent non-invasive beauty treatment for rejuvenated, firmer looking skin. It is an absolutely safe procedure since it doesn't involve the use of any harmful chemicals," says Vibhuti. The HOB silicone cups provide the perfect vacuum to exercise the facial muscles, boost blood flow to the skin's surface, eliminate toxins and boost collagen; thus reducing the appearance of fine lines.

How to use–

Apply a face oil or serum on your skin beforehand.

Gently squeeze the cup from the middle and apply on your skin.

The suction will stick the cup to your skin.

Massage in a circular motion; from the center of your face towards the hairline.

Use for 10 minutes, twice a week.

Ice Globes

Ice globes stimulate blood circulation and oxygenation to the skin, helping shrink pores, along with healing and renewing skin. According to Vibhuti, the ice globe facial massager will work most effectively when used with face oils, allowing your skin to absorb its active ingredients. Regular use will help reduce fine lines and will tighten your skin, while brightening, de-puffing and restoring its bounce.

How to use–

For an extra cooling experience, place your ice globes in the fridge, or in a bowl of ice for approximately 10 minutes before starting.

Glide or roll the globes over the face in slow, gentle movements, taking time to pause over the eye area and in areas with inflammation or breakouts. 

Use the lymphatic facial massage to stimulate nerves, relieve tension, reduce future breakouts and release toxins.

Use the lifting facial massage to stimulate blood circulation, oxygenate the skin and boost skin elasticity.

Ice globes may also be used to massage the neck, shoulders, back and any other area of the body. Repeat each movement 3-5 times.

After you’re finished with your skincare routine, clean the globes with soapy water and store them in a travel-friendly box. We don’t recommend leaving them in the freezer.
