Life before the integration of the best skin care tools into my daily regimen is now a distant memory. My journey began modestly with a jade roller, which, in all honesty, remained largely unused. However, it has since evolved into an extensive collection of advanced gadgets, each powered up to address a spectrum of skin concerns—all from the comfort of my home, bypassing trips to the dermatologist’s office.
Vogue’s Top Picks for Skin Care Tools
While that initial jade roller still has a place in my routine—it’s excellent for stimulating circulation, especially when paired with a sheet mask—my arsenal of beauty products has significantly expanded. The Joanna Czech angled roller offers similar circulation benefits but is also expertly designed for sculpting cheekbones and defining the jawline. Stepping up the intensity, the NuFace utilizes powerful microcurrent technology, delivering noticeable results with consistent application. When my skin needs overall rejuvenation, manifesting as improved radiance and diminished fine lines, my go-to LED face mask by Dr. Dennis Gross consistently delivers, providing both anti-aging and acne-fighting benefits simultaneously. Just when I believed my collection was complete, innovative tools continue to emerge—such as the Medicube Age R Pro, favored by Hailey Bieber, which enhances the absorption of skin care ingredients deep into the skin, and Therabody’s wand, which employs cold therapy to reduce facial puffiness. Since incorporating these diverse gadgets, my skin’s condition has reached new heights of health and appearance, a transformation I’ll detail further. Below, explore these and additional top-tier skin care tools, each rigorously tested and reviewed by Vogue beauty editors.

Choosing the Right Beauty Tool
Selecting the right beauty tool depends on your specific skin goals, concerns, and timeline, especially when preparing for events or holidays. Consult with a skincare professional and research expert-recommended tools for home use, particularly if you have sensitive skin. LED masks are universally beneficial and highly recommended as a starting point.
