Inspired By: Fraxel and Fillers
If you can't book a fraxel or filler appointment to address deep scars and fine lines, try a DIY solve with this temporary filler. Based on technology used in Hollywood special effects makeup, this silicone-based formula renders indented scars and fine lines undetectable within two pain-free minutes. Better yet, the seamless filler looks and moves like skin and packs all-day staying power, something that takes touch-ups completely off the table.
Inspired By: Dermaplaning
Professionally-administered dermaplaning requires an ultra-sharp medical-grade scalpel to exfoliate dead skin cells, trigger cell regeneration and shave away vellus hair (or peach fuzz). The results are what countless actresses depend on for their HD closeups.
The only catch? The process typically requires the steady hand of a skin pro to escape injury. Thanks to protective edges and sonic vibration, this device makes childs' play of achieving the same results at home, rendering us Zoom-ready in just a few minutes' time.
Inspired By: Eye Lifts
The next best thing to a pop of filler or Botox? An eye cream formulated by an RN who specializes in injections and is meant to mimic the effects of line-minimizing injections. Enter this formulation, created by The Route cofounder Nurse Nancy, which includes a physical lifting agent wrapped in hyaluronic acid in order to minimize the look of lines. Add peptides, a retinoid, and omegas and you have an eye cream that's geared for not only the eye area, but the corners of the mouth, top of the cupid's bow and "11s" (or gabella lines) in the center of the forehead, too.
Inspired By: Lip Filler
If your regularly-scheduled lip filler appointment is on hold (or you just want swole lips for the day), consider this your new best friend. An extra-strength version of Too Faced's best-selling plumping gloss, this new formulation contains a more potent hit of the active agent. Sure, applying the clear gloss means making lips feel like they were rubbed with serrano chillies for a minute, but with clinical results that show 98 percent of people noticing more voluminous lips after one week of use... we say it's worth it.
Inspired By: Lash Extensions
In-office lash treatments can do a lot to make lashes seem suddenly robust, but the chemical used can also sometimes breakage. This ophthalmologist-developed lash conditioner taps a proprietary blend of lash-strengthening peptides, lipids, biotin and green tea extract, to bolster what you've already got. Though the treatment may not make lashes look longer, many report a fuller look, which is exactly what we're after.
