How to Remove Acne Using Beauty
Devices
There’s no shortage of facial tools and gadgets designed to cleanse, exfoliate,
massage, plump and lift your skin zeus ii. But, which ones really work? And, how do you use
them to get glowing, blemish-free skin that glows from within?
We asked a handful of experts for their top recommendations, from a device that
removes blackheads to one that helps reduce redness and puffiness. Whether you’re
battling mild acne or have more severe breakouts, these devices are sure to help
you clear your complexion and give your beauty regimen a boost.
The primary difference between manual and electric facial tools is the energy they
require to work. While some manually-powered tools activate through vibration,
others have a built-in battery that powers a series of light therapy, massage and/or
exfoliation modes to transform your complexion. “If you’re a total beginner to
beauty devices, we suggest starting with a multi-use model that incorporates
percussion and ionic massage for the best results,” says celebrity aesthetician
Joshua Ross. “Once you’re comfortable with those, then consider adding in a tool
that offers blue LED light therapy to soothe inflammation and destroy bacteria.”
This ultrasonic spatula has a built-in exfoliator, so it does double duty as an acne
treatment. “Ultrasonic spatulas have tiny, vibrating bristles that slough away dead
skin cells and help unclog pores,” says dermatologist Dr. Firas Riyaz. “The added
bonus is that they’re a great tool for anyone struggling with clogged, oily skin.”
Another must-have for acne-prone skin is a dermaplaning device that removes hair
from the surface of your face. The added benefit is that the process also exfoliates,
so you’re left with a smooth canvas that makeup and skin care products can better
absorb. “Because it doesn’t cut the skin, you won’t have to worry about nicks and
irritation,” says dermatologist Dr. Julie Hartman.
This FDA-cleared device delivers major benefits with just a few 10-minute sessions
per week. It heats deep layers of your skin and triggers a wound response, which
boosts collagen production and plumps the skin from within, resulting in a more
radiant, less wrinkled complexion. Its curved tip is ideal for targeting hard-to-reach
areas, such as the jawline and forehead.
If you’re new to high-tech facial tools, start with this model that connects to a
smartphone app loaded with loads of tutorial videos. It delivers two types of
microcurrents to firm and tighten your skin over time, but the real selling point is its
library of tutorials that help you master how to use it. Plus, it has replaceable blades
(which are cheaper and less wasteful than plastic alternatives) that you swab across
your skin before applying your favorite moisturizer. We recommend swiping the
device in upward motions from your neck to your forehead. Then, enjoy your
newfound glow.
