Popsugar Beauty Skin Care The Best Beauty Tools Want To Up Your Beauty Game? There's Gadgets and Gizmos A-Plenty: 30 December 2020 by Jessica Harrington Image Source: OPTE As POPSUGAR editors, we independently select and write about stuff we love and think you'll like too. If you buy a product we have recommended, we may receive affiliate commission, which in turn supports our work. There's one category of beauty that we can't resist no matter how hard we try: beauty tools. As Ariel from The Little Mermaid once expressed, "I've got gadgets and gizmos a-plenty" but our collection is most definitely not complete. Each year we wait with anticipation to see what new skin care, makeup, and hair products our favourite brands will come up with, but nothing drums up excitement quite like beauty gadgets. From inventive heat styling tools unlike anything we have in our current stash to skin-care devices that rival in-office machines, each year is packed with more developments and innovations than the one before. Whether you're looking to unlock your best skin or hair yet in the new year or simply want to indulge in a treat for yourself for no particular reason at all, we rounded up the best beauty gadgets. Droplette Image Source: droplette.io Droplette ($249) is backed by NASA — yes, that NASA — so right off the bat, you know it has to be cool. The handheld device is physics-powered and converts standard skin-care ingredients into a micro-fine mist that can then be applied to the skin. The benefit of this is that it helps deliver potent ingredients deeper than traditional serums and creams.

The Odacite Mon Ami Facial Acupressure Beauty Tool ($19) helps promote facial muscle relaxation. Rooted in Chinese medicine, the simple tool works by applying light to medium pressure to tension points in the face — like on the temples and eyebrows — which not only feels good but helps keep wrinkles from forming.
