Words By Nasreen Osman
There comes a moment in every skincare lover’s life when it’s time to take your routine to new heights. That’s where facial devices come in. From stimulating collagen production and improving blood circulation to addressing specific skin concerns such as acne, fine lines, and uneven texture, incorporating a facial device into your routine can help transform your complexion – all from the comfort of your home. You just need to find the right one. To help you navigate this ever-evolving landscape, we’ve gathered the ten most innovative skincare tools and devices to cater to your every need.
Best For Achieving Youthful-Looking Skin
FAQ, FAQ 202 Wireless Silicone 7 Led Light
The innovative design of FAQ’s 202 Wireless Silicone 7 Led Light + NIR AntiAgeing Face Mask Treatment will transport you to a professional clinic before you’ve even turned on its range of LED lights. This lightweight, high-quality silicone mask moulds to your facial contours and features eight wavelengths to boost collagen, target fine lines, wrinkles, discolouration, blemishes and more.
Best For A Deep Cleanse
Foreo, LUNA 4 Plus Facial Cleansing Brush for Normal Skin, £379
Want to supercharge your cleansing routine? Take your single or double cleanse one step further with the LUNA 4 Plus Facial Cleansing Brush. This cleansing device brush is crafted with soft silicone touchpoints, providing an indulgent gentle heated cleanse that swiftly removes dirt, oil and make-up. But that’s not all. The near-infrared LED light helps to increase collagen production and brighten skin, while a range of 16 microcurrent intensities adds a plumping touch to your appearance. Choose from five massage patterns and for a few relaxing moments, you’ll forget where you are.
Best For Reducing Facial Tension
Therabody, TheraFace PRO All-in-One Facial Health Device
Need a stress-relieving facial but can’t make it to the aesthetician? Enter Therabody’s All-In-One Facial Device. This multi-tasking device relaxes your facial muscles through three attachments that target tension in the areas you may feel it most (i.e. your face, jaw, neck and head). If your skincare needs differ on a weekly or monthly basis, this customisable instrument is just the thing as you can easily switch out the apparatus for a microcurrent ring to firm skin or LED light rings to target wrinkles or acne.
Best For Firming and Toning
NuFACE, NuFACE, Mini+ Starter Kit, £244
This stylish tool has likely cropped up in some of your favourite beauty editors’ or A-listers’ skincare routine. And for good reason. The travel-friendly NuFACE Mini+ Starter Kit utilises gentle yet advanced microcurrent technology to instantly lift and contour your facial muslces, and over time, can help to reduce the appearance of fine lines. The starter kit has everything you need to kickstart your at-home facial, so you can finally experience for yourself what the hype is all about.
Best For Laser Therapy
LYMA, Laser Starter Kit (Red), £1,999
Let's talk about the LYMA Laser. Don’t be fooled by its sleek and minimal appearance – this laser is built with cutting-edge, medical-grade technology. The cold, near-infrared laser penetrates the base layer of your skin to target a plethora of skin concerns, from treating pigmentation, acne and scarring to boosting collagen production. If you’re ready to go beyond LED light treatments, this laser is your next stop.
Best For Cryo-Therapy

Best For Aiding Lymphatic Drainage
KAMA AYURVEDA, Kansa Wand, £64
