The Gadgets: Amopé Pedi Perfect Electronic Pedicure Foot File, $50
Instrumental Beauty Portable Pedicure, $30

What It Is:
These electronic foot filers use a spinning roller to slough off the dead, callused skin from the bottom of your feet. Just soak your feet for 20-30 minutes (or use after your shower), then gently roll the device over your rough spots for a few seconds on each location.

What You'll Get:
As a former ballet dancer and frequent wearer of high heels, my feet are pretty gnarly, so I wasn't expecting much in the way of drastic results. I was wrong. Both of these files gave me smoother, softer feet after just one use. And even though I have to use them after each shower to maintain that softness, the time commitment is mere minutes -- worth it for baby-soft soles. The Instrumental Beauty device uses a micro-mineral roller, which was slightly softer than the granulated Amopé roller. If your feet are more sensitive or more callused, choose accordingly.

What You'll Save: $180/year
If you get monthly pedicures, an electronic foot filer will cut down your visits to the nail salon by at least half. After all, I still can't paint my toes professionally.

The Gadgets: Tria Hair Removal Laser 4X, $449
Veet Infini'Silk Pro, $50
Iluminage Touch Permanent Hair Reduction, $445

What It Is:
These at-home hair removal devices won't leave you hairless forever (no device will, despite its claims), but they do significantly cut down on maintenance by reducing hair re-growth. And the best part -- all of these are fairly painless, unlike a trip to your waxer.

What You'll Get:
Laser hair removal devices generally work only on light-to-medium skin tones and brown or black hair, but the Iluminage Touch is the first FDA-approved device to work on all skin tones, blonde hair and red hair. If you want to remove hair from a smaller, precise area of the body (we're looking at you, upper lip), the Tria's targeted beam is best. And for bigger areas like your legs, the larger surface area of the Veet device's cartridges speeds up the process, which is at times tediously slow.

What You'll Save: $65/month
That's the average cost women spend on waxing according to dailyworth.com and our helpful chart, that also shows laser hair removal will take the least time over your lifetime compared to shaving or waxing.

The Gadgets: Tanda Zap Acne Spot Treatment, $50
Kathy Ireland ReVive Light Therapy, $169

What It Is:
These devices utilize blue light to eliminate the acne-causing bacteria in your skin, so your blemishes fade and clear, and future breakouts are less likely to occur.

What You'll Get:
Patience is not my strong suit, so standing in front of a mirror holding one of these devices over a blemish for two minutes was pushing my tolerance, but I did notice the inflammation go down almost instantly. I'd recommend either device for someone who battles the occasional breakout, such as with hormonal acne. The Kathy Ireland light device is multi-purpose, as you can swap out different LED light treatment heads for anti-aging and pain relief, but the Tanda works just as well at a lower price point.

What You'll Save: 30 minutes of your day
The combined total of time you steal glances of your reflection and think woe-is-me thoughts about your breakout.

The Gadgets: Clarisonic Sonic Radiance, $249
Foreo Luna, $199
Clinique Sonic System Purifying Cleansing Brush, $90

What It Is:
Cleansing brushes are nothing new, but these devices are the next step up. You've heard cleansing brushes help your products sink in better, clear your complexion and exfoliate your skin better than typical cleansing. But these brushes do even more. You might even rethink the cleansing brush you already own as I did.

What You'll Get:
Clarisonic is known for their cleansing brushes, but one major complaint is the heads are too rough for some sensitive-skinned users. The new Radiance brush head is softer and gentler than the regular heads, and it also works specifically to clear pores of sebum and reduce the appearance of hyperpigmentation. Another gentle option is Clinique's Sonic cleansing brush. This head is also gentler than others I've tried, and the smaller size allowed me to cleanse around sensitive areas like my eyes more easily. The angled green tip targets other hard-to-reach areas like the T-zone and around the eyes.

If you're still not sold on cleansing brushes, try the Foreo Luna. This silicone device works in much the same way, but uses T-Sonic pulsations that feel like a miniature facial massage. Use the reverse side of the device, the anti-aging mode, for lower-frequency pulsations on your wrinkle-prone areas: between the eyebrows, across the temples and on your laugh lines.

What You'll Save: $82/year
That's the price of my night cream, serum and eye cream combined, divided by two. Usually I feel like only half the product I use actually sinks into my skin -- not so now that I've started using cleansing brushes.

The Gadget: Le Mieux Skin Perfecter, $225

What It Is:
This spatula-like device uses high-frequency vibrations to cleanse and exfoliate the skin, extract blackheads and whiteheads and stimulate collagen production for younger-looking skin. Your skin has to be wet (not damp) for the device to really glide over the skin, so first apply a toner or serum.

What You'll Get:
This device promises a lot, but even our device-doubting editor-in-chief admits to seeing improvement after just one use. "My skin was smoother and more radiant, pore congestion -- even some stubborn blackheads -- got worked out within a few uses." I also noticed a difference in my pores, and the extraction element of the device is unlike any other gadget I've tried.

What You'll Save: $150 and 90 minutes of your time
I could easily skip a trip to an aesthetician for a pricey facial with this device that takes only five minutes out of my day.
