3'' Extra Large Hair Rollers Set, Jumbo Hair Rollers for Long Hair,31 Packs 3 Sizes with Clips & Comb, Big Self Grip Curlers, Velcrorollers for Hair Salon (3''/2.5''/2'') Travel Packing

Not my favorite type of curler, but they do come in useful, especially if your are going for the blowout look. After curling gentlly wrap the hair around it. Helps keep curls out of your way as you continue. Just don't rip them out as you will see many doing in beauty videos, this defeats the whole purpose of using them.

36PCS Foam Hair Rollers - Sponge Rollers for Heatless Hair Curler for Short/Long Curling Sleep

FACIAL CARE TOOLS

Pure

NanoSteamer 3-in-1 Ionic Facial Steamer

The Pure Daily Care NanoSteamer is a new type of steamer that generates nano-ionic steam. NanoSteamer does this by combining a conventional heating element with a new ultra sonic vaporizer to produce nano steam with negatively charged ionic particles. Nano steam combined with ionic water particles are up to 10x more effective in penetrating skin. The NanoSteamer uses heat and an ultrasonic plate to create micro-droplets of water that are negative ion charged, to penetrate skin up to 10x deeper than traditional steam.

The NanoSteamer 3-in-1 has three modes:
Facial Steamer:
NanoSteam helps hydrate and moisturize the skin using the natural power of water. It also promotes micro-circulation and helps deep clean the complexion, so you’ll see glowing, vibrant skin quickly without irritation or dryness.

Towel Warmer: Roll up a facecloth and insert it in the towel-warming chamber for a refreshing moist towelette in just a few minutes.

Humidifier: The 200 ml water tank provides a steady output of steam to add humidity to rooms large or small. It makes the air more comfortable to breathe and can be particularly helpful for cold or allergy sufferers

What's in the Box – 1 NanoSteamer 3-in-1 facial steamer, 5-piece stainless steel skin kit with storage pouch

Draw backs, super powered heat is hard to handle for extended periods. A lot of the steam gets wasted as this is not the type of steamer you should tent the face in

LED Face Mask With 7 Colors, Electric Beauty Facial Mask Instrument, Facial Skin Care Device

benefits of led face mask

LED face masks offer various skincare benefits, including

combating aging, reducing wrinkles, boosting collagen production, and improving skin texture and tone. They can also be helpful in reducing inflammation, treating sun damage, and addressing hyper-pigmentation.

Additionally, LED light therapy can clear breakouts, smooth fine lines, and firm the skin.

 Specific Benefits:

  • Aging:LED masks can help reduce the signs of aging, including wrinkles and fine lines, by stimulating collagen production. 

  • Collagen Production:Red and near-infrared wavelengths penetrate deep into the skin, stimulating collagen and elastin production, which helps to keep skin plump and supple. 

  • Acne:Blue LED light can help destroy acne-causing bacteria, leading to clearer skin and improved complexion. 

  • Inflammation:LED masks can help reduce inflammation, which can contribute to various skin issues like acne and redness. 

  • Skin Texture and Tone:Consistent use of an LED mask can help improve skin texture and tone, leading to a more even and radiant complexion. 

  • Sun Damage:LED masks can help address signs of sun damage, such as dark spots and hyper-pigmentation. 

  • Non-Invasive:LED face masks are a non-invasive skincare solution, making them safe and painless when used as directed. 

How it Works: LED light therapy works by using different wavelengths of light to penetrate the skin and stimulate cellular activity.

Red light is known for promoting collagen production, while blue light can help clear breakouts and reduce inflammation

The draw backs to this particular design is the weight of it on the face (reminds me of The Man Behind the Mask). Also don't throw it across the room at your fighting animals-IT WILL SHATTER

Facial Massager, Neck Facial Massage Tool, Massage, Portable Beauty Tool, Suitable for Skin Care

LED  light therapy for daily short time use.  This is much more comfortable than the previous item. Combines LED and gua sha- a two for one-awesome.

Here are some gua sha guidelines

A Gua Sha routine involves using a tool, often made of jade or rose quartz, to massage the skin in specific areas, promoting blood flow and lymphatic drainage.It's a popular practice in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and is now widely used for beauty and wellness. Here's a step-by-step routine:

  1. 1. Prepare your skin:Start with a clean face and apply a facial oil or moisturizer to help the tool glide smoothly. 

  • 2. Neck:Gently scrape upwards from your collarbone to your earlobe, repeating three to five times on each side. 

  • 3. Jawline:Use the tool to massage along your jawline, from the center of your chin to your ear, repeating on both sides. 

  • 4. Cheeks:Drag the tool across your cheekbones, moving outwards toward your ears. 

  • 5. Under-eye:Gently slide the tool outward from the inner corner of the eye to the temple. 

  • 6. Forehead:Start at the center of the forehead and divide it into sections, gliding the tool outwards. 

  • 7. Brows:Glide the tool upwards along the brow bone, from the inside out. 

  • 8. Finish:Repeat each movement three to five times, focusing on upward strokes that follow the lymphatic flow. 

Tips for Gua Sha:

  • Use light to medium pressure:The skin on your face is thinner than on your body, so avoid too much pressure. 

  • Start slowly:Begin with a few minutes, then gradually increase the duration as you become more comfortable. 

  • Be consistent:Try to gua sha two to three times a week for optimal results. 

  • Listen to your body:Gua Sha shouldn't hurt.If you experience pain or discomfort, stop and adjust your technique. 

  • Hydrate:Stay hydrated before, during, and after your Gua Sha session. 

  • Don't use Gua Sha if you have skin conditions:If you have any skin problems, such as a rash, sunburn, open wounds, or eczema, consult with a professional before using Gua Sha.

Extraction Tools.

Personally I received my tools with the facial steamer but you may want to invest in various other types. (I rarely have to use mine)

Acne extraction is a procedure where a professional uses special tools to gently remove debris from clogged pores, like blackheads and whiteheads.This process is typically done in a dermatologist's or spa's office and aims to clear pores, prevent progression to more severe acne, and potentially reduce scarring. Here's a more detailed look at the procedure:

1. Preparation: 

  • The skin is cleansed and prepared for the extraction process.

  • A specialized tool, such as a sterile needle or surgical blade, may be used to open clogged pores.

2. Extraction:

  • A comedone extractor or specialized tool is used to extract the contents of the lesion, such as oil, bacteria, or debris. 

  • The extraction process may involve gently pressing on the skin to apply pressure around the pore, while using specialized tools to help loosen debris. 

  • The direction of the pore is considered to apply pressure strategically and minimize skin damage. 

3. Post-Extraction Care:

  • The skin is cleansed again after the extraction. 

  • Moisturizers and anti-inflammatory or antimicrobial agents may be applied to soothe the skin. 

  • Cold compresses can help relieve temporary redness or swelling. 

  • It's important to avoid squeezing or picking at blemishes, as this can worsen the acne and lead to scarring. 

  • A mild, fragrance-free moisturizer is often recommended to hydrate and calm the skin.

Microneedle Face & Full Body Roller Kit

Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a popular cosmetic procedure that offers a range of skin rejuvenation benefits. It works by creating microscopic punctures in the skin, triggering the body's natural healing response and stimulating the production of collagen and elastin. Here are some of the key benefits of microneedling:

1. Stimulates Collagen Production: Microneedling promotes the synthesis of new collagen and elastin fibers, which are crucial for maintaining skin structure, firmness, and elasticity.

  • This process helps to reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging skin. 

2. Improves Skin Texture and Tone:

  • By stimulating collagen production and promoting skin cell turnover, microneedling can improve overall skin texture, making it smoother and more refined.

  • It also helps to even out skin tone and reduce the appearance of hyperpigmentation. 

3. Reduces the Appearance of Scars:

  • Microneedling is an effective treatment for various types of scars, including acne scars, atrophic scars, and surgical scars.

  • It helps to break down existing scar tissue and promote the growth of new, healthier skin. 

4. Minimizes Pores:

  • Microneedling can help to shrink enlarged pores by stimulating collagen and tightening the skin. 

5. Addresses Stretch Marks:

  • This procedure can also diminish the appearance of stretch marks by promoting collagen and elastin production in the affected areas. 

6. Reduces Blackheads:

  • Microneedling can help to reduce blackheads and clear congested pores. 

7. Enhances Product Absorption:

  • The micro-channels created during microneedling can enhance the absorption of topical skincare products, allowing them to penetrate deeper into the skin and deliver better results. 

8. Safe for All Skin Tones:

  • Unlike some other skin rejuvenation procedures that use heat or lasers, microneedling doesn't carry the risk of skin discoloration, making it suitable for people with darker skin tones. 

9. Relatively Low Downtime:

  • Compared to more aggressive treatments, microneedling has a shorter recovery time.

  • Patients may experience some redness and mild swelling immediately after the procedure, but it typically subsides within a few hours. 

10. Boosts Self-Confidence:

  • By improving skin appearance and reducing skin concerns, microneedling can help boost self-confidence and overall well-being.

It's important to note that multiple sessions are usually required to see optimal results from microneedling, and the effects are gradual as new skin and collagen are produced.

Dermaplaining Tool

Removes fuzz for even makeup application and exfoliation. 

Dermaplaning is a cosmetic procedure that involves using a sharp blade to carefully shave the surface of the skin to remove dead skin cells and fine facial hairs (also known as vellus hair or "peach fuzz"). Here's a summary of its potential benefits

:1. Improves Skin Texture and Appearance:Smoother skin: By removing dead skin cells and peach fuzz, dermaplaning leaves the skin feeling significantly softer and smoother. This creates a more even surface and minimizes rough patches.

  • Brighter complexion: Dermaplaning helps reveal fresher, younger-looking skin underneath the top layer of dead skin cells, contributing to a brighter and more radiant complexion.

  • Enhanced luminosity: The smooth surface created by dermaplaning improves the way light reflects off the skin, enhancing its natural luminosity. 

2. Enhances Skincare Product Absorption:

  • Increased penetration: With the outer layer of dead cells gone, the skin is more receptive to absorbing active ingredients in skincare products, such as moisturizers, serums, and treatments. This allows the products to penetrate deeper into the skin and work more effectively. 

3. Better Makeup Application:

  • Smoother base: Removing peach fuzz and dead skin cells creates a smoother canvas for makeup application. This allows makeup to glide on more effortlessly, resulting in a flawless and polished look.

  • Less "cakey" look: Dermaplaning reduces the appearance of fine lines, which can help prevent makeup from settling into these areas and causing a "cakey" look.

  • Improved makeup adhesion: With vellus hair removed, makeup adheres more effectively to the skin, helping it stay in place longer. 

4. Addressing Skin Concerns:

  • Reduced appearance of acne scars: Dermaplaning may help minimize the appearance of acne scars by stimulating new skin cell production and gradually fading scar tissue.

  • Minimizing fine lines and wrinkles: Dermaplaning can help minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by promoting skin cell turnover.

  • Unclogging pores: Removing dead skin cells helps to unclog pores and reduce the likelihood of acne breakouts.

  • Even skin tone: Dermaplaning can help even out skin tone and improve overall skin complexion. 

5. Other Benefits:

Facial Rollers

In my opinion these are extremely nice especially when you just need a little refresh. I store mine in the skin care frig (REFRESHING) Much like a gua sha tool.

Facial rollers offer numerous benefits for your skin, including improved circulation, reduced puffiness, and a more relaxed, youthful appearance.By gently massaging the face, they stimulate blood flow, increase oxygen and nutrient delivery, and help drain lymphatic fluid, potentially leading to a brighter, more toned complexion. Here's a more detailed look at the benefits:1. Improved Circulation: 

  • Facial rollers stimulate blood flow, delivering more oxygen and nutrients to the skin cells.

  • This increased blood flow can help brighten the skin and create a more youthful glow. 

2. Reduced Puffiness:

  • Rolling the face helps to stimulate the lymphatic system, which is responsible for removing waste and toxins from the body. 

  • This can help reduce puffiness, especially under the eyes, by draining excess fluid. 

3. Relaxation and Tension Relief: 

  • The gentle massage provided by a facial roller can help relax facial muscles and relieve tension, which may contribute to a more youthful appearance.

  • This can also be helpful for reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles caused by stress.

There are many types and price ranges for these brushes. From manual to electric. So what are the benefits of facial brushes?

Facial cleansing brushes offer benefits like deeper cleansing, exfoliation, improved circulation, and enhanced skincare product absorption, leading to a brighter, smoother, and healthier complexion.They also help prevent breakouts by removing dirt, oil, and makeup residue more effectively than hand washing alone. Here's a more detailed look at the benefits:1.
