5 Beauty Editors Reveal Their Top At-Home Tech of 2024

From tightening to toning, we've got a tech for that.

 

With copious amounts of products landing on their desks each week, beauty editors spend a good chunk of their time testing the latest launches so that you swerve the worst of them and invest your hard-earned cash in the best of the bunch. And because of the strict laws that govern the media, you know that when a journalist recommends a product, they really mean it. 

Thanks to the innovative, professional level tech used to create the CurrentBody Skin devices, beauty editors the world over rave about their offering. Here’s what they have to say…

 

LED Light Therapy Face Mask 

“My notoriously red, uneven skin tone has never looked, well, more even. Plus, my sometimes-lacklustre complexion now has a nice glow, perfect for summer. All in all, if you’ve been toying with the idea of purchasing this product, I’d highly recommend doing so — your skin will thank you.”

Kelsey Stewart, Associate Editor, The Zoe Report


About the tech

Just 10 minutes a day, three to five times a week will improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, even out skin tone, smooth the skin and brighten the complexion. This is thanks to clinically proven, professional grade red light waves that boost collagen production, and near infrared light that turbocharges blood circulation to supply your cells with more regenerative oxygen and nutrients. 

 


LED Hair Growth Helmet 

“After months of use, I can say that I am a believer in red light's therapeutic benefits for the scalp and hair follicles. The changes that I saw were remarkable. Almost instantly, I noticed that my scalp seemed less greasy. Within a couple of weeks, my hair felt stronger. And over a four-month period, my hair grew to crazy lengths, certainly the longest it has gotten in years. But not just that. I saw areas near my temples fill out with new growth beyond baby hairs—something that has not happened in years.”

Roxanne Adamiyatt, deputy digital lifestyle director, Town & Country


About the tech

To get your head around how light could help make your hair sprout, think back to your childhood biology lessons. In order to create the energy needed to grow, plants require light, oxygen and water, but without enough light they simply won’t survive. Similarly, red LED light devices like the CurrentBody LED Hair Growth Helmet deliver clinically proven red light to increase blood flow in the scalp to get more oxygen and nutrients to the cells in order to strengthen follicles and extend the growth phase of the hair. Proven to increase hair count by 33 per cent in 16 weeks. 


LED Lip Perfector

“I told everyone and anyone who would hear me out about this tool. My little lip lines were without question a little less inset, and my colour was more even. This is by no means a filler-substitute and it is a commitment, but it does a damn good job if you’re in the market for a little boost.”

Samantha Holender, Beauty Editor, Marie Claire


About the tech

This device will have you wondering if there really is nothing LED light can’t do. Using four different wavelengths – amber, red, deep red and near-infrared, this truly transforms pouts in just three minutes (when used consistently). You can expect an increase in collagen production for smoother lips with fewer fine lines and wrinkles, a more even-toned appearance, and a youthful plumpness. 

Skin RF Radio Frequency Skin Tightening Device 

“CurrentBody has always been ahead of the at-home skin tech curve, and its newest at-home radio frequency device proves it. The portable tool fits in the palm of your hand, but delivers serious skin tightening and smoothing results. Using this device is a self-care moment at the end of every day, and I swear my skin looks tighter after just a few weeks."

Faith Xue, Executive Beauty Director. Bustle Digital Group


About the tech

One of the 10 NYLON Beauty Hit List Awards winners, for best at-home spa products, this radio frequency (RF) device delivers on its promises. RF therapy is a gold standard collagen boosting treatment that tightens skin by way of energy waves that heat the dermis (the middle layer of the skin), stimulating the production of collagen. Collagen helps structurally support the skin, and without a decent amount of the stuff you can wave bye-bye to a snatched jawline, and a wide-awake eye area, and say hello to jowling, drooping and crepey skin. However, thanks to this at-home RF device you can increase your collagen stores and tighten your skin just by using it once a week for eight weeks.

 

LED Neck and Dec Perfector 

"Someone wise once said, "Your face starts and ends at your nipples," and I've lived by that rule since the first time I heard it. The same way an LED mask works for your face, this one helps keep your neck and décolletage smooth, even, and healthy. As a side-sleeper, I certainly need it. I wear it at night before bed while I'm watching TV. It's easy and proven to work."

Hallie Gould, editor in chief, Birdie

 

 

About the tech

This neck and chest device uses LED to increase cell turnover and smooth wrinkles by a whopping 35 per cent in just four weeks. The red light increases cell turnover, smooths wrinkles, reduces hyperpigmentation and minimises sunspots. Near-infrared boosts blood circulation, bringing oxygen and nutrients to the skin's cells to plump the skin and impart a healthy glow.
