Quirky beauty gadgets
by Crystal Lee

no!no! Skin

What: A handheld home-use skincare device that combine professional light and heat technology (LHE) to speed acne clearance and painlessly stop pimples from growing. Only the size of a mobile phone and weighing about 110g, this nifty gadget can reduce the healing time of pimples and acne by up to 50%, while keeping further breakouts under control.

How it works: Pulses of light and heat penetrates into the affected area, injecting acne-destroying oxygen radicals that attacks the pimple bacteria while controlling skin inflammation. The heat emitted from the device also opens the skin pores to release the clogs and further sooth the inflammation. Just press the button, place it on the pimple, and wait for the beep!

Price and Availability: no!no! Skin retails at a special launch price of $299 (UP $349) and is available exclusively at Guardian Pharmacies and selected department stores.

 

Talika Light 590 Collagen Booster

What: A collagen booster, this handheld device targets aging skin by administering cellular repair. It repairs the skin from the inside, giving it a smooth, toned appearance as it reinforces and regenerates skin cells.

How it works: Light 590 Collagen Booster emits pulses of light that stimulates the fibroblasts that produce your skin's collagen. The bio-energy process helps to increase collagen production and hence restoring skin suppleness and elasticity.

Clinelle Epilette

What: No more nicks, cuts and irritated skin with Clinelle's new hair removal technology. Safe, painless and easy to use, unwanted hair is removed in a fuss free manner and your skin gets the perks of exfoliation at the same time. However, because it involves friction on the skin, this form of depilation may not be suitable for sensitive skin.

How it works: The hair removal pads gently buffs away unwanted hair when you massage over skin in circular motions. Skin is smoother and softer with each use, thanks to the exfoliating properties which eliminates dead skin cells.
