Black Friday is the time to stock up on all things beauty. It’s the ideal opportunity to replenish your skincare and makeup favourites and take the plunge on that coveted fragrance you’ve had your eye on. However, if there’s one Black Friday beauty item you should be bookmarking for a serious saving, it’s beauty tools.
In my experience as a beauty editor, you generally get the best Black Friday deals on beauty tools. Be it skincare gadgets or hairstyling tools, there are big discounts and savings to be had on beauty devices across the board.
Beauty tools are one of the best investments you can make in your routine. While serums and moisturisers can only reach the surface levels on your skin, skincare tools allow you to supercharge your routine by lifting, sculpting and enhancing the absorption of your skincare. Take LED (AKA, light emitting diode) devices, which use light wavelengths to kickstart collagen and treat acne breakouts from the inside out, or a microcurrent facial tool that whips facial muscles into shape. Sure, you can get these professional treatments in clinics, but there’s nothing like the convenience having an at-home device in your arsenal. And don’t forget hair tools. A new hairdryer or hairstyler is most definitely an investment purchase, but Black Friday is the prime time to snap up a deal to unlock your best hair yet. With Black Friday just around the corner, I’ve bookmarked some of the best beauty tools, devices and gadgets that I hope to see in the Black Friday sales.
I put one of Déssee Pro’s famed LED masks to the test earlier this year for two weeks, and its safe to say I was impressed with the results on my skin (you can read my LED mask review here). They are expensive, but if you’ve been thinking of investing in an LED mask, I’d keep your eyes peeled for Black Friday deals where you may be able to get a sizeable discount.
Dr Dennis Gross’s LED mask is a more affordable option, and helps to plump wrinkles from the inside-out and fend off acne-causing bacteria.
Is the Dyson AirWrap going into the Black Friday sale? We can only hope, so bookmark this now and mark your diaries.
Microcurrent devices have soared in popularity in recent years for their ability to work the facial muscles to lift and tone for a sculpted appearance. Foreo’s Bear is one of the most popular microcurrent devices, which uses electrical current to lift, tone and brighten the skin.
This nifty device is reportedly loved by Jennifer Aniston. Ziip’s device uses nanocurrent and microcurrent which send signals to the skint kickstart collagen production, reduce acne-causing bacteria and help target pigmentation. Read our full review of the Ziip device here.
Black Friday is the best time to buy an at-home hair removal device. The Philips Lumea is regarded as one of the best to reduce unwanted hair on the face and body, and as someone who has tried a couple of devices, I think this one is the most effective.
Everyone should own a pair of hair straighteners, and you can’t beat GHD. They’re not just for straightening your hair, but you can also create salon-worthy waves and curls with these too.
Want to try doing gel nails at home? Mylee’s kit is regarded as one of the best for getting professional results in the comfort of your own home.
This facial massaging tool from Sarah Chapman (who, FYI, has a celebrity-loved clinic in London) helps to mimic the massaging motions used by facialists in professional treatments to help sculpt and lift the jawline while melting away tension in the facial muscles.
Heated brush tools are hot right now (no pun intended) for creating those bouncy blowouts. I’m keeping my eyes out on BaByliss’s Hydro Fusion Hair Dryer Brush in the Black Friday sales.
I’ve had my eye on this pore cleansing device for a while, so I hope it goes onto the Black Friday sales. The stainless steel tip uses ultrasonic technology to dislodge build-up in the pores that can lead to blackheads and congestion, so it’s great if you’re acne-prone or have an oily skin type. It can also be used as a post-skincare tool to infuse the product into the skin.
NuFace’s microcurrent devices have earned a loyal following for delivering serious results. In fact, it has been coined as a ‘5-minute face lift’ for its ability to lift and sculpt jawlines and cheekbones. If this goes into the Black Friday sales, I’d recommend adding it to your basket.
FaceGym’s latest launch is this ‘active roller’ which has crystallised skincare ingredients infused into the roller head’s needles, which dissolves on contact with the skin. From hydrating to brightening, there are multiple roller heads to choose from to suit your skin’s needs, and it leaves you with an amazing post-facial glow.
Crafted from natural rose quartz crystal, this massaging tool not only looks pretty but feels cooling on the skin while massaging away puffiness and relieving tense muscles.
Face steamers help to create a spa experience at home, helping to prepare the skin before applying serums. This one from Sarah Chapman emits ionic nano-sized steam particles which boost the effects further.
