It’s no secret I’m passionate about taking care of my skin so much so I’m a bit preachy about it. If you follow me on Instagram and Tiktok I’m constantly oversharing skincare/ beauty tools and products that I swear by.
I’ve talked about facemasks that will get your skin summer-ready, DIY facemasks, products that will naturally enhance your beauty and so much more here on my site. But I’ve yet to discuss beauty tools.
Today I’m sharing beauty tools from $10 to $450 dollars and they’re not all created equally. I love hopping on a new skincare trend, and I will try almost anything. So, are these beauty tools worth the hype? Some yes and some no. Let’s break it down.
From $10 to $450 Are Beauty Tools Worth The Hype?
Under $100
Ice Roller Face Massager
I recently saw someone on TikTok sharing that they iced their face. With ice cubes. As the first part of their skincare routine. Intrigued, I did some research and found out this helps with puffiness, redness, and inflammation. While I wasn’t surprised, an ice facial roller is much easier than leaving spoons in or taking ice out of the freezer. And at $16.99 this beauty tool was a no brainer.
The cylinder that you freeze comes on and off of mine almost too easy. It prevents me from rubbing my face hard, so I’m ok with it. But it can be a bit annoying so you may what to look into a better quality one.
Rose Quartz Facial Roller
If used correctly, a quartz roller will promote lymphatic drainage and blood circulation, making your skin and face look younger. I personally love my rose quartz roller because I clench my jaw when I sleep and the rolling effect helps loosen up my jaw muscle. Which means fewer headaches for me!
I would go with rose quartz over jade because jade is a porous stone and if not cleaned correctly and thoroughly after each use you could be doing your skin more harm then good.
Scalp Scrubber
A silicone scalp scrubber is a total game-changer IMO. If you use clean hair care products this definitely helps to make your hair feel cleaner. It also feels amazing on your scalp as well. Not quite a blowout at the salon, but way better and easier than using my fingers. This also promotes circulation which helps your hair to grow.
It also feels great on your scalp when your hair is dry.
Derma Roller
The derma roller is either something you love or you’re terrified to try. A derma roller is covered in mico pins that you roll over your skin. About two years ago I used a derma roller regularly with a mild vitamin C serum or a hyaluronic acid-based serum. The micro pins allow your skin to absorb your skincare products even better.
While it definitely helped with my under-eye bags and made my skin brighter it was a pain to clean every time. I would spray it with alcohol and then run under hot water and dry. Every morning. Before work. It was kind of a lot. I recently tossed my old one from Amazon because it was broken, but now after writing this post and thinking back to how good my skin looked, I think it’s time to order a new one!
Dry Brush
I feel like dry brushing isn’t talked about enough. Dry brushing exfoliates your skin and promotes circulation. Plus it just feels amazing on your body. You can use it before or after you shower. Personally, I will normally dry brush prior to my shower (or bath, I love a good bath).
If you leave the brush in your bathroom it’s an easy thing to remember to do when you’re in the mood and have the time to do it. And since most dry brushes are under $20 making this beauty tool totally worth it.
Heated Eyelash Curler
To be totally honest I didn’t think this would work as well as it did! I can’t understand how it curls them because the tool is flat, but if you just use it like you would mascara it curls your lashes. I used to leave my eyelash curler next to my straighter when I did my hair to make the curler warm, but this is much more productive. Plus if you don’t use heat on your hair often that’s not even an option.
While you’re waiting for your favorite lash salon to open back up, this bad boy will keep you looking GOOD for your next zoom meeting. Promise.
Over $100
PMD Clean Pro
I must confess, I’ve never been into face scrubbing machines. But let me tell you, the massage feature on the other side of the scrubbing side takes the cake. Plus, since using this to clean my face, my skin has never felt cleaner when I do decide to use the scrubber. Maybe I’m into the sonic scrubbing of my face after all.
With two anti-aging modes to help massage skincare products into your skin and two sonic cleansing modes, this beauty tool will improve circulation, lift, firm, and tone your skin. And it 100% deserves the hype.
Dr. Dennis Gross SpectraLite EyeCare Pro
Light therapy for the skin is becoming more and more attainable in the beauty market. This eye care mask comes in under $200 and is rechargeable, so in my opinion, it’s worth it. You can basically use it forever.
You have to use this every day for three minutes for thirty days for maximum results. If you have dark circles like I did and loss of volume, this works wonders. I used it every day for about two weeks and then I would forget to use it a day here and there. Even with that, I saw a difference and continue to use it intermittently.
NuFace Trinity + Eye and Lip Enhancer Attachment
This ACTUALLY works and is totally worth the hype and the price. My mom and I both share my NuFace and we can both see differences in each other’s skin when used regularly. It helps with fine lines, wrinkles, and overall plumpness. If youth is what you’re striving for then the NuFace is for you.
The extra attachments are what make this product the most expensive. Also, you have to use the gel so you don’t shock your face with the microcurrents. Because I loved the face attachment so much I did decide to invest in the eye attachment and I’m happy I did. Totally worth the hype, I actually think this product doesn’t get enough hype!
