Skin care is self-care, and is not only a great way to ensure your makeup starts with a clean canvas — it’s also a major confidence booster. But when you can’t always get to your favorite facial spa, or you want to recreate your own luxe beauty studio at home for touch-ups in between treatments, some of the best at-home facial tools and devices can help.

“This is one of the most neglected things in an at-home routine so before I dive in on my favorites a pro tip: I’ve started to see a crop of new multi-purpose devices hit the market. I’ve played with many of them and in my opinion they are ‘an inch deep, mile wide’ in efficacy,” celebrity facialist Sarah Akram tells The Hollywood Reporter. “Stick to at-home devices that are the best in that particular modality whether it be microcurrent or LED as two examples.”

Healthy — not flawless — skin is always the goal, and thanks to a variety of incredible celebrity skin-care pros like Shani Darden (whose clients include Hollywood entrepreneurs Jessica Alba and Shay Mitchell) and The Things We Do founder Vanessa Lee (who works with Khloé Kardashian, Cardi B and Gabrielle Union) who share their skin-care secrets on social media, it’s also more attainable than ever.

Keep in mind that no two skin types are the same, and no two outcomes using these tools will ever be the same. So whether you’re just starting your skin-care journey or are a seasoned enthusiast looking for new tools, here’s a roundup of some of the best home facial tools and beauty devices that are getting rave reviews from Hollywood insiders and skin-care lovers alike.

From the best microcurrent devices for toning your face, to “no-tech” gua sha stones for relieving tension and inflammation, see some of the expert-loved home facial essentials below. Bonus: Some of these picks are on sale ahead of Black Friday, including at Sephora’s Savings Event (use code SAVINGS for up to 20 percent off, depending on your Beauty Insider status).

BEST MICROCURRENT TOOL OVERALL

NuFace’s Trinity+ facial toning tool is an award-winning skin-care device with innovative, interchangeable treatment attachments. Touting a “five-minute facial lift,” the FDA-cleared device works to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes, brows and lips. (Jennifer Aniston, Miranda Kerr and Kate Hudson are among the stars who have used NuFace at home.)

Mount Lai

BEST GUA SHA TOOL

If you’re going to honor a cultural skin-care tradition, it’s always best to go to the source. Mount Lai is a proud, Asian female-owned beauty brand rooted in traditional Chinese medicine. Their award-winning gua sha tool is made of jade stone, which has natural balancing and cooling properties. Use this stone to sculpt and contour facial features, reduce puffiness and fluid buildup, and relieve facial and jaw tension.

Beauty professionals are already well-acquainted with Bio-Therapeutic, the high-tech skin-care company known for providing FDA-approved, medical-grade microcurrent devices to the industry. The brand’s new consumer device is designed to sculpt, lift and firm the face and skin by stimulating the adenosine triphosphate (ATP) in cells, which the company says helps to “provide energy for key cellular functions” that help boost collagen and elastin production. What we especially love is that the two sets of prongs are adjustable, while the electrical current constantly readjusts based on your skin’s feedback for a truly personalized and targeted routine. (Celebrity makeup artist Melissa Hernandez recently the tool on client, The Bear actress Molly Gordon.)

BEST LED MASK ON AMAZON

This mask also comes with a convenient remote to adjust the color, intensity and time to your liking.

Best Peach Fuzz Remover

It’s no mistake that Finishing Touch’s facial hair remover has more than 100,000 glowing reviews on Amazon. Hypoallergenic and dermatologist recommended, this electric face razor allows anyone to painlessly remove unwanted hair by simply pressing to the face and making small circular motions, leaving skin smooth and hair-free. It’s made with 18-karat gold and shaped like a tube of lipstick for discreet hair removal anywhere.

Japan-based beauty tech company Medi Lift’s Essential Mask uses electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) to address the muscle tone in your cheeks and tighten the jawline. Per the brand, it “directly targets the zygomaticus major and minor muscles, preventing sagging.”

BEST for same-day touch-ups

As Akram suggests, you can’t expect professional-level results with consumer-grade devices. However, SolaWave’s red light therapy wand is still a pro favorite for day-of rejuvenation.

Currently BOGO during the brand’s early Black Friday sale, the award-winning tool is already a cult fave with stars (Reese Witherspoon, Nicole Kidman, Sydney Sweeney and Lil Nas X have used it) and combines four powerful skin-care technologies for on-the-go treatments: microcurrent, red light therapy, facial massage and therapeutic warmth to create the ultimate at-home facial. It features smart-touch activation (simply place the wand against your face to turn it on and remove it to turn it off), and the tip rotates so that it’s easier to maneuver hard-to-reach spots. It’s also portable and rechargeable (lasting up to 12 sessions per charge) for easy travel, so you can take it with you anywhere. Sign us up.

Best for precise contouring

“I’ve recently added the Myolift QT Plus device into my at-home routine. It’s an ergonomically designed wand that comes with a user-friendly, intuitive app with at-home facial tutorials,” Akram tells THR. “What sets this device apart from other products on the market is the option for hands-free attachments using an array of plug-in attachments (there are options for the forehead, lips, eyes and jowls.) This is awesome when you want to chill in bed while binge watching Suits on Netflix.”

Hollywood facialist Joanna Czech regularly uses the Lyma Laser on her celebrity clients, while celebrity makeup artist Jamie Greenberg tells THR that the LED facial device is her “go-to tool [for] rejuvenating the skin and reducing wrinkles, skin pigmentation, redness, blemishes and scarring,” recently told THR.

It’s effective in reducing the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, scars and blemishes with regular treatments ranging from 15 to 45 minutes per day for three months.
