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.

The Gadget: Ionic Pearl Brilliant White Ionic Teeth Whitening System, $195

What It Is:
This at-home teeth whitening device works similarly to the fluoride treatments you get at the dentist's office. Simply squeeze in a tube of the whitening gel, press the activator button on the device (which conveniently times your five-minute application) and place the device in your mouth. The recommended use is five minutes a day, twice a day for five days, with touchups every three months.

What You'll Get:
I have sensitive teeth, so while I do want a whiter smile, I'm not always game to forgo the pain that comes with consuming ice cream and coffee in the weeks after a treatment. With this treatment I didn't feel any increased sensitivity, and I truly noticed a difference after my first five-minute application. With whitening strips I've used in the past, I felt like I had to finish a whole box before I could see some whitening actually happening.

What You'll Save: $400
An in-office teeth whitening treatment can cost upwards of $600, and they aren't permanent solutions either.
