Injectables may not be your thing, but that doesn't mean you have to settle for thin lips. Beauty gadgets are here to save us yet again with JuvaLips, a breathalyzer-looking device that fits around your lips and uses regulated suction (it's been described as a "hickey machine") to put pressure on the lips. This increases blood flow to the lips just like topical plumpers, only it takes less than two minutes. Suggested usage even includes keeping it in your purse to plump up more than once a day.
It may pop up like an unwelcome neighbor, but acne doesn't just appear out of nowhere. Bacteria, egged on by hormones, breeds in your skin with the goal of ruining your day in the form of an angry-looking blemish. That's where blue light treatment comes in. It's a literal blue acne-fighting light that penetrates under the surface of the skin to zap bacteria. Paired with a cleanser and a spot treatment, you'll have an entire system dedicated to prevent your next breakout. And short of the ability to hire a live-in dermatologist to stop a zit, isn't that what you've always wanted?
This cult-favorite peel isn't just the next best thing to a professional treatment; it is the gold standard, and will leave you as radiant as if you were visiting the dermatologist on a daily basis. The two-step system includes one wipe to exfoliate your skin with seven different types of chemical exfoliants and a second wipe to help increase cell turnover and leave skin glowing. This extra-strength version lasts for 30 days of daily radiance, during which you'll be sending no-makeup selfies to everyone in your contact list.
With all the money you're spending on skin-care products, don't you want to make sure they really, really penetrate the skin? The Firming Wand uses microcurrents in the form of teeny vibrations to help products absorb better -- and it works for anything from serums to moisturizers. The wand shuts off automatically when all product is absorbed, and since it senses moisture, you know that $100 serum you splurged on is fully absorbed and ready to do some work.
The only kind of tanning addiction we support is self-tanner. Anyone who's dropped major cash for professional spray tan sessions knows that you, a mitt and a handheld mirror just can't match the work of a salon-quality spray tan. St. Tropez has developed a handheld spray tanning machine that's exactly like what the pros use. An aerosol delivery system keeps your glow light and free of streaks. The only drawback: You'll constantly be forced to answer the question, "Did you just go on vacation?"
