If 2012 taught us anything it's that geek is the new chic.
Keeping up with the latest advancements in technology has become a necessity in nearly every walk of life, especially when it comes to grooming. But where does that leave gals who aren't exactly tech-savvy? Sure, the spa is still a valid option, but then you'd be missing the whole point of the newest beauty gadgets: to reduce those beauty bills.
Of course, those savings aren't going to do squat for you if you can't even figure out how to turn on that latest "doohickey" or "thingamajig."
So, even if you aren't a nerd at heart, that doesn't mean you have to be left out when it comes to using anything other than a Clarisonic. Consider this your cheat sheet -- a guide to all the new, easy, at-home beauty gadgets that are actually worth the cash. They may look like they're straight from the future, but we promise they're so easy to operate, even a cave woman could figure it out.
Although most women would try just about anything to get rid of wrinkles for good, even some of the bravest among us aren't willing to turn to Botox needles or face-slapping facials. Luckily, skin care wimps are no longer stuck with just creams and serums. This tiny device delivers a mini face-lift thanks to electrical currents that perk up muscles (don't worry, it feels completely harmless). Bonus: All you need to know is how to work an on-off switch.
If you're looking for something that's more powerful than Crest Whitestrips -- but not as pricey as the professional whitening your dentist's been trying to upsell you -- here's your solution. The small teeth brightening kit works as well as an in-office procedure and is basically fool proof, despite the quirky design (it looks like a cousin of the iPod connected to a mini mouth guard). Plus, thanks to pre-set timed intervals, it's nearly impossible to make a bleaching mistake.
Consider this the most painless extraction you will ever have. Sonic vibrations from this gizmo help remove oil and dirt deep in pores, while the daily toner and facial masks keep your surface radiant and smooth. Basically, it�s complexion perfection in a box.
The idea that even your hair is above tap water may seem a little snooty, but then again, so does buying a $60 shampoo. This small showerhead acts just like a Brita filter, removing all the chemicals and metals to restore your water's pH balance. You only have to install it once (it takes 4 easy steps) and it won't affect your shower pressure. The result? Your hair sustains less damage on a daily basis, making it dramatically healthier (i.e. soft and shiny).
