Don’t get me wrong, I love being pampered in the salon as much as the next girl, but as a beauty editor, there’s something that just need get off my chest: I haven’t had a professional polish or manicure done since February 2020. What used to be once or twice a month, I now consider an unnecessary expense after discovering a number of ultra-effective, DIY options during the pandemic. For shiny, salon-fresh hair, I turn to the Drybar Single-Shot Blow Dryer Brush almost every day, and Olive & June’s sleek, strong press-on nails are my go-to for a long-lasting manicure. in just minutes. But after a recent birthday, I started toying with the idea of getting botox (entering your late 20s will do that to you). Before going straight to the skin, I thought I’d look for some alternatives at home; I was shocked to not only find something without needles, but with such an impressive celebrity following.
Now on sale, the NuFace facial toning device lifts and contours your face by promoting collagen production and minimizing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It basically gives you a “five-minute facelift,” according to the brand. Low levels of electrical currents stimulate your muscles, causing them to contract and stiffen with recommended use (five minutes a day, five days a week). According to TikTok, the results are practically instant and truly shocking – trust me, it’s easy to go down a rabbit hole of angry comments.
