Let’s be honest—between the cost of spa visits and the time it takes to book (and actually go to) an appointment, at-home beauty devices are having a serious moment. But with so many gadgets flooding the market, how do you know which ones actually deliver results?
I’ve tested and researched a wide range of tools this year, and I’m sharing the ones that truly impressed me. Whether you’re targeting fine lines, dullness, or simply want to level up your self-care game, these devices will have your skin glowing—without ever leaving your bathroom.
1. LED Light Therapy Masks: Like a Facial in 20 Minutes
You’ve probably seen those futuristic-looking LED masks all over social media. They’re not just for show—they’re serious skincare powerhouses.
Red light helps reduce the appearance of fine lines, blue light targets blemishes, and some multi-light options even support tone and texture. The results? A smoother, more even complexion with consistent use.
If you’re pairing light therapy with a quality exfoliator, try Lavelier’s Intensive Facial Peel to prep the skin. It sloughs off dead cells gently, allowing LED light to penetrate more effectively.
2. High-Frequency Wands: The Secret to Clearer Skin
These buzzing little tools use a glass electrode to generate oxygen, which helps improve the look of congested skin. They’re especially helpful for breakouts and dullness.
If you’ve ever tried Venofye’s bee venom skincare, you’ll love how a high-frequency wand boosts absorption. Pairing the wand with targeted serums is a game-changer.
3. Microcurrent Facial Toning Devices: Your At-Home Face Lift
This one is a splurge, but it’s worth every penny. Microcurrent tools send low-voltage electricity into your facial muscles to give a lifting, toning effect. With regular use, your skin can appear more sculpted and defined.
Want to double up on results? Use it after applying products from Pearl de Flore’s Flore de Rose Collection for a luxe ritual that feels like a spa day, every day.
4. Heated Hair Styling Tools That Don’t Fry Your Strands
We’ve all been burned (literally and figuratively) by hot tools that promise shine but leave damage. Thankfully, brands like Herstyler and Evalectric are leading the charge on tech that styles and protects.
The Evalectric Hair Curlers deliver smooth, defined curls with less heat exposure. If you’re more of a straight-hair person, Herstyler Hair Straighteners are another fan-favorite with salon-level results.

5. Facial Steamers: The Underrated Step That Changes Everything
It’s simple, affordable, and way more effective than you might think. Facial steamers help soften the skin and open up pores, making it easier for your serums and masks to do their job.
If you’re into ingredient-rich skincare, a quick steam before applying something from the Avinichi Collection will take your results up a notch.
6. Ultrasonic Skin Scrubbers: Goodbye Gunk, Hello Glow
These tools use ultrasonic vibrations to deep-clean pores and gently exfoliate. If you’re not into harsh physical scrubs, this device is a dream.
Pair it with skincare that delivers real radiance. I love following up with something from Bionyx or Celestolite for a visibly smoother finish.
7. Ice Rollers: A Quick Fix That Works Every Time
Cheap, easy, and incredibly satisfying—ice rollers are the MVP of depuffing and calming inflamed skin. Keep one in your fridge and use it first thing in the morning or after a long day.
It’s especially helpful if you’ve been using products from active collections like Introstem’s EmberCell. The cooling effect complements rich formulas and feels incredible.
Final Thoughts: Are At-Home Devices Worth It?
Absolutely—if you choose the right ones. Many of the devices above have become non-negotiables in my beauty routine. Not only do they save money long-term, but they also give me the flexibility to pamper myself on my schedule.
Just like with any skincare product, consistency is key. Pair these devices with clean, high-quality products and you’ll start seeing noticeable changes over time.
