GloPRO Microneedling (or add this one to your wishlist for the NSale!)
I snagged this from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale in 2018. I use it about 2-3x a month unless my skin is feeling out of sorts and then I will up it to 2-3x a week for a while. It operates on the premise of making tiny little "damages" to your skin to alert the skin to "repair". The "repair" reaction is more intense than the "damage" and you can see some amazing results with this. It feels a little like velcro on the skin, it doesn't hurt but maybe falls more into the "hurts so good" category. I will say that I do purchase a replacement head every year or so, and that makes a big difference. I use it when I feel a break out coming on or when my skin feels particularly dull. I make sure to focus on areas that need the most help. For me that is any breakouts (it seems to help heal them quicker!), spots that wrinkle easily (my smile lines), my jaw line (which according to my genetics is going to sag) and any age/sun spots. I follow it up with this line up of products and my skin looks and feels amazing in the morning! Just note that after using this you will want to avoid any glycolic or aha/bha products that evening. They can STING. Also make sure you clean the head with alcohol after every use!
I got this in a PR package years ago and never really used it. But on a whim I tried it and was instantly hooked. It's the most amazing deep clean you can get for your skin. And since it's all silicon it won't harbor any bacteria or germs like other scrub brush tools. I simply wet my face, apply the cleanser right to the silicon front of the Luna and turn it on and let it scrub my face. Mine has a timer so you know when to switch spots on your face. I can't recommend this enough! It's also really great for teen skincare too since it's such an amazing deep clean.
I use this every morning. It's SO GOOD. I have watched a few YouTube videos and then mostly just do what feels best or like what my face needs. I usually wake up with puffy eyes from allergies and just old age (haha!) and I have found that this helps wipe away the sleepy/puffy look from my face and eyes so well. Some videos suggest doing this overtop of products. But I do mine on my bare face before washing it or hoping in the shower. I prefer to do it dry on my face, it seems to roll better.
I love and hate this. It feels amazing! But I will admit that sometimes I am a wimp in the winter and it's TOO cold. You could always leave it on the counter while you shower to let it warm a touch. But the cold is the key to helping depute your skin. You could double up with the ice roller and then the jade roller, or just do one or the other. The ice roller is also awesome for headaches on your forehead, soothing kids with fevers or even temporary relief from bug bites or minor burns. It's really so handy!
I would love to know what your favorite beauty tool. I am already planning out my next beauty tool purchase!
