Whether you’re going out on a date or having a romantic night in, taking the time to prepare your skin will ensure that you feel extra confident and beautiful on your night out. Here are a few tips and tricks to help get your skin ready for a date night with your significant other or girlfriends!
Exfoliate: Exfoliating your skin is an essential step in getting it ready for a special occasion. It removes dead skin cells and allows your skin to better absorb moisturizers and other skincare products. Try using a gentle exfoliating scrub, or a microdermabrasion facial with Exfora to gently remove dead skin cells. Exfoliating helps to give you a smooth base for makeup application or applying skincare.
Hydrate: Dry skin can be especially noticeable on a special occasion, so make sure you hydrate your skin well before a big night. Indulge in a steam session, apply a hydrating moisturizer, and drink lots of water! Hydration helps to keep the skin plump and hydrated.
Do an at-home facial: If you have the time to indulge in a full at-home facial use the cleanse, prep, treat method. Cleanse with a facial cleansing brush, prep with a facial steamer, and treat with a microdermabrasion device or Red LED light therapy. This will help to give you an extra boost before a special date night!
Use a face primer: Now that you have taken care of your skin, let’s move onto makeup application. Applying a facial primer before you put on your makeup will help to create a smooth base for your foundation and help your makeup stay in place longer. Look for a primer that has a silicone base, as they tend to work best!
Get enough sleep: A good night’s sleep is essential for healthy skin, so be sure to get as much rest as you can leading up to your night out.
By following these simple tips and tricks, you can help to ensure that your skin is looking it’s best for a romantic date night out or a fun celebration with your best gals!
]]>Microdermabrasion is a popular skincare treatment that helps to exfoliate and rejuvenate the skin. This treatment can now be done at home thanks to our microdermabrasion device, Exfora. Here at Vanity Planet, we set out to create devices that will help save you time and money. Read below to see how to get the most out of your microdermabrasion device, Exfora!
Cleanse your skin right before using the device: Before using your microdermabrasion device, it is important to cleanse your skin. This will help to remove dirt, excess oil, and makeup build up. You don’t want to clog the device and effect your facial. Use your favorite cleanser and warm water to properly cleanse your skin prior to using Exfora.
Choose the right head attachment for your skin: Exfora comes with four different heads - Normal, fine, body and massage. Each tip has a different shape and attachment to target different areas. 3 of the heads are diamond encrusted to help get rid of dead skin and build up in and on the skin.
Start with the lowest setting, and work your way up: It is always best to start with the lowest setting, especially if you’ve never done microdermabrasion before. This will help your skin adjust to the treatment and prevent any irritation or redness. You can gradually increase the intensity of the treatment as your skin becomes accustomed to it.
Use the device in long, sweeping strokes: To get the most out of your treatment, it is important you use it in long sweeping strokes towards your hair line. This will help to evenly exfoliate your face and ensure you are not only focusing on one spot.
Follow up with a hydrating moisturizer: After enjoying your at-home microdermabrasion facial, it is important to follow up with a hydrating moisturizer. This will help to hydrate your skin after deeply exfoliating, and keep your skin looking extra smooth!
Repeat the treatment regularly: Microdermabrasion is most effective when done regularly. To get the most out of your device, it is recommended to use it once a week.
Microdermabrasion is an effective skincare treatment - especially for people who struggle with textured, dry skin. Thanks to our device, Exfora you can now indulge in a spa grade microdermabrasion facial in the comfort of your own home!

]]>We have all heard about microdermabrasion… but what truly is this skincare phenomenon? We are going to dive into all the benefits of microdermabrasion and help guide you to fresher skin in 2023!
Microdermabrasion is a popular and effective treatment for improving the overall appearance of the skin. It works by exfoliating the top layer of skin cells, revealing fresher, healthier skin underneath. This treatment can be performed at a dermatologists office, a spa, or our personal favorite, in the comfort of your own home with our microdermabrasion wand, Exfora!
There are several benefits to microdermabrasion for fresher skin, including:
Improved skin texture: microdermabrasion helps to remove dead skin cells, unclog pores, and smooth out rough patches, leaving the skin feeling softer and smoother.
Brightened skin tone: microdermabrasion can help to improve the appearance of uneven skin tone and dullness by removing the top layer of skin cells and promoting the production of new cells.
Reduced appearance of fine lines and wrinkles: microdermabrasion can help to improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by removing the damaged, outer layer of older skin. It also helps in stimulating collagen production and promoting the growth of new skin cells for a glowing youthful appearance
Minimized acne scarring: microdermabrasion exfoliates the skin to remove debris, dead skin cells, and excess oils from the top layer of skin, which reduces pore clogs and acne breakouts.
Safe and non-invasive: microdermabrasion is a non-invasive treatment that does not require any downtime, making it a safe and convenient alternative to other skin treatments with similar benefits.
Overall, microdermabrasion is a simple and effective way to achieve fresher, healthier-looking skin. It is suitable for all skin types and can be customized to address specific skin concerns. We recommend only indulging in microdermabrasion once a week.
We know that we are always looking for ways to achieve salon grade experiences without breaking the bank. We got you covered and hope you enjoy an at-home microdermabrasion facial with Exfora!

]]>If you're looking to improve the appearance and health of your skin, you may have heard about the benefits of blue and red LED light, and we all know the importance of proper facial cleansing. These three treatments offer unique benefits that can help to rejuvenate and revitalize your skin.
Blue LED light is a type of light therapy that uses blue wavelengths to target acne-causing bacteria. This can help to reduce the appearance of breakouts and improve the overall texture and tone of the skin. Blue LED light is also believed to have anti-inflammatory effects, which can help to reduce redness and swelling associated with acne.
Red LED light, on the other hand, is thought to stimulate collagen production and improve blood flow, leading to a more youthful and radiant appearance. It can also help to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, as well as improve the overall tone and texture of the skin.
In addition to LED light therapy, facial cleansing is an important step in any skincare routine. Proper cleansing helps to remove dirt, oil, and makeup from the skin, which can help to prevent clogged pores and breakouts. It can also help to improve the overall appearance and health of the skin by removing dead skin cells and unclogging pores.
The Lux Sonique Mini is the ultimate 3-in-1 beauty tech device to improve your overall skin health. While you cleanse, you can fight acne causing bacteria and help to minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. What could be better than a device that truly does it all?

Elevate your lip care routine with LED red light therapy designed to give you fuller lips in no time!
As beauty lovers continue to search for non-invasive ways to enhance their appearance, LED red light therapy has emerged as a popular option for plumping your lips. But how does it compare to traditional lip fillers, which are often administered at a medical spa?
First, let’s define each treatment. LED red light therapy involves the use of low-level red light wavelengths to stimulate collagen production and improve blood flow in the targeted area. This can lead to increased volume and a more youthful appearance. Lip fillers, on the other hand, involve injecting a substance (such as hyaluronic acid) into the lips to add volume and shape.
One advantage of LED red light therapy is that it is completely non-invasive, so there is no need for needles or incisions. This can be a more appealing option for people who are needle-phobic or looking for a non-toxic, natural approach to enhancing their appearance. LED red light therapy is also relatively quick and painless. Lux Lip Care LED Lip Plumping device can be used daily, and can help improve the plumpness of your lips in minutes (with continued use).
Another consideration is cost. LED red light therapy is typically less expensive than lip fillers, as it does not require the purchase of any injectable substances. All of our lip filler lovers know how expensive it can be. Lux Lip Care is a one time purchase, that is 10% of the cost of one session of lip fillers.
If you’re looking for a non-invasive, cost effective alternative to fuller lips… look no further!
]]>But what’s the exact cause of acne?
At its root, excess sebum and bacteria. According to Healthline, when gland production is normal, your skin appears healthy and even, but too much sebum in a follicle can cause a hardened plug to form, which can then lead to various forms of acne.
In addition, hormonal changes including those brought on by anything from puberty and menstruation to pregnancy, and even menopause can cause acne for women who might not have ever dealt with acne. And another factor at play in the cause of acne, increased stress levels.
But there’s help available according to experts—including amazing products you can use at home. That’s where we come in.
Here are a few tricks and tools-of-trade offered up by estheticians we admire along with the solutions we offer in each category to provide accessible, affordable results at home.
According to celebrity facialist, Joanna Vargas, LED light therapy addresses acne because it helps heal breakouts while making the skin stronger.
Leda Blue, the first of its kind blue light therapy facial cleansing brush, uses gentle vibrations and antibacterial silicone bristles combined with the power of FDA cleared blue LED light to kill acne-causing bacteria and limit sebaceous gland activity for less oil production. This 2-in-1 device is a game changer if you are looking to get rid of your acne. This device not only allows you to treat your current acne, but it helps prevent future breakouts.
Check out the results after just 10 weeks of use.
Bonus: It's amazing as a daily cleansing brush AND you can use it as a spot treatment when you're not cleansing. The built-in 3 minute timer is the optimal daily time needed to treat active breakouts.
Blue LED is the most common light therapy used to treat acne. Blue light has an antimicrobial effect, making it effective at killing several types of bacteria that can collect in your pores and oil glands and cause breakouts. And the anti-inflammatory benefits help to decrease other acne symptoms like redness.
Facial steaming is a natural way of cleaning your face and treating your complexion, while also helping to keep your pores clear of dirt and acne causing bacteria. 89% of people felt a more detoxified and cleansed face after using our Aira Ionic Facial Steamer. Steaming helps loosen the dirt and oil on your skin that can build up in pores, causing them to become clogged. When the pores are clogged, bacteria can grow, leading to acne breakouts. Aira helps unclog those pores by softening the skin, giving the dirt and oil a way out instead of staying trapped inside. 77% of people who consistently used their Aira Steamer got less breakouts.
Not only will facial steaming help unclog your pores for a clearer complexion, it also helps the absorption of your skincare products. 88% of people felt their face was more receptive to skincare products & treatments after using Aira. So you’ll be getting more bang for your buck with all your acne serums and creams when you use them in conjunction with your facial steamer.
Prevent acne and help improve the tone and texture of your skin with our Exfora at-home microdermabrasion wand. Microdermabrasion is a treatment that gently exfoliates the skin to remove debris, dead skin cells, and excess oils from the top layer of skin, which reduces pore clogs and acne breakouts.
Regular exfoliation for the Exfora Wand helps to reduce the appearance of whiteheads and blackheads, creating a smoother skin texture. 90% of people felt that their pores were less closed and their face felt more exfoliated, and 82% of people felt they had less blackheads after using Exfora.
Not only does it help prevent acne, it can also help reduce the appearance of acne scars. Adding this into your routine just once a week is a small adjustment that goes a long way!

To keep your skin healthy and vibrant this summer, try these quick, easy, and affordable summer skin care to keep your skin looking its best.
Use sunscreen.
With skin cancer as the most common form of cancer in the U.S., it's vital to wear your sunscreen this summer. A sunscreen with a sun protection factor of 30 should suffice, as it blocks out up to 97% of UV rays. Cover your arms, legs, face, and any part of your body that will get exposure to the sun. Most sunscreens will offer protection for several hours, so don't forget to reapply throughout the day as necessary.
While sunscreen helps protect against skin cancer, it also protects against sun damage, which over time can cause your skin to wrinkle, as it loses moisture. Although tanned skin looks great, it's actually damaged skin. So to keep your skin looking smooth and firm as you age, take the time to protect it now.
Cool off with an ice roller. While ice rollers can moisturize and refresh your skin anytime of year, in summer, they're just a treat. Ice rollers are affordable and easy to use, and they help keep your skin looking vibrant, even as you sweat it out through the summer heat.
Ice rollers can help keep your skin firm, helping to reduce wrinkles, and they also reduce the appearance of redness, which can pose an embarrassing problem during the warm weather months. They also give you a great chance to cool off during the day as you rub the smooth, icy roller over your sweltering skin.
Don't stop washing.
It's important to remain disciplined with your nightly skin care routine during the summer months. Not only can your skin become clogged with sweat and dirt, but sunscreens themselves can also lead to breakouts, as they leave the skin quite oily. Protect your skin during the day, but let it breathe overnight.
Hydrate your skin.
Warm weather zaps your body of moisture, and that includes your skin. You may find your face and legs feel dryer and look a little more flaky as the summer drags on. To avoid dullness from dehydration, make sure to keep your skin well hydrated. Apply a hydrating face mask, or use a new cleanser that offers greater hydration.
Exfoliate everywhere.While it's important to exfoliate any time of year, your skin will certainly need it over the summer, as it clogs with sunscreen, sweat, and dead skin from dehydration. Exfoliate everywhere -- your face, arms, and legs, too. Try using a soothing body brush to exfoliate your skin and leave it looking refreshed and rejuvenated all summer long.
Treat sun damaged skin.
Don't just protect your skin, repair it. As your skin tans throughout the summer, you need to remove the damaged skin. While exfoliating helps,
Keep the bugs away with essential oils.
From peppermint to lemon to lavender to eucalyptus, essential oils offer effective, natural protection against those flying pests this summer, so you can avoid using harmful, pore-clogging bug sprays.
Take a closer look at eye masks.
Sun and heat can prove especially taxing on the thin, delicate skin below your eyes and may leave you with dark circles. Try using a gel eye mask at night to soothe your skin and reduce puffiness.
Don't forget your feet!
Feet can get especially dry and cracked during the summer, especially as you trod around in flip flops. Keep your feet feeling smooth and looking great with a nourishing foot scrub.
Drink plenty of water.Hydrate your body, as well as your skin. A well-hydrated body keeps skin looking vibrant, and leaves you feeling energized, too.

]]>Many of you are probably thinking, how the heck does my gut have anything to do with my skin..
And the answer is, your gut has a lot to do with your skin!
“Anything that goes wrong in the gut will cause symptoms all over your body -- and it will absolutely show as problems on your face, sooner or later” Dr. Nigma Talib, Younger Skin Starts in the Gut
The importance of our gut health is nothing new, but not something widely talked about or made a priority when considering skin concerns. As it’s becoming more widespread, we’re learning that so much of our overall health starts in our gut microbiome.
What is a gut microbiome anyway?
Our gut microbiome, sometimes referred to as the gut flora or gut microbiota, is the totality of microorganisms including: bacteria, viruses, archaea and fungi that live in our digestive tracts.
Did you know that a person has 300 to 500 different species of bacteria in their digestive tract?
Don’t worry, not all bacteria is bad. There are many microorganisms that are incredibly beneficial and even necessary for a healthy body. But when we have an imbalance of the good and bad bacteria in our microbiome it will often lead to inflammation. And inflammation presents itself as red, sensitive skin, wrinkles, rashes, and even acne. And that’s only when it comes to your skin!
So how can we add gut health into our skin care routine and work toward a balanced gut, better digestions and healthier glowing skin?
First things first, take a good look at your diet, and identify which foods are causing problems. Some of the most common inflammatory foods we consume regularly are gluten, dairy, sugar, soy and alcohol.
Author, Naturopathic doctor, and beauty expert to the stars, Dr. Nigma Talib created her 4 Faces of Aging to help identify which problem foods are affecting your face.
“Eating too much of the wrong foods is bad for your digestion; and what’s worse, it shows up in your face as wrinkles, blemishes, bags and more. Luckily by identifying and eliminating your skin-aging triggers, you can simultaneously heal your gut, stop this process of ‘digest-aging’ and reverse it’s negative effects on your skin.” Dr. Nigma Talib, Younger Skin Starts in the Gut
Once you’ve discovered which foods are causing your skin issues, it’s time to start eliminating them from your diet. The idea of removing gluten and dairy or even both sounds scary to many of us. But we’ve come a long way when it comes to alternatives. It’s not nearly as scary as it sounds.
Along with the elimination of inflammatory foods, it’s important to add more nutrient dense, whole foods into your diet. I promise your body and your skin will thank you!!
On top of regulating the foods you consume, it’s important to take a prebiotic & probiotic and digestive enzymes daily. Prebiotics provide “food” that promotes the growth of beneficial bacteria, while probiotics are live good bacteria. Probiotics can help manage skin inflammation. Good bacteria also can be antimicrobial, clearing away bacteria from the skin and leaving you with a healthy glow.
If you’re looking for great gut health supplements we love My Girl Wellness’s Better Belly System. With benefits like aiding in proper nutrient absorption, speeding up the breakdown of food, and replenishing good bacteria in your gut, this 3 step system will help keep your gut health in tip-top shape. And we have a special discount just for you! Get 15% off My Girl Wellness Products w/ code VANITY15.
Other beneficial skin supplements like collagen, help to seal the gut wall for healthier conditions. Healthier gut, healthier skin, happier you!
Our skin is our biggest organ, and one that we often take for granted. What you put on your skin gets absorbed into your bloodstream in as little as 30 minutes. On top of that our skin has its own microbiome as well. So it’s important to consider what ingredients are in the skincare you are using and how that may be affecting your skin and overall health as well. It’s always best to go with clean, non-toxic ingredients.
Treat your skin like the goddess she is so she keeps you looking flawless for years to come, and always feeling confident to Wear Your Skin Naked.

]]>As we age, our skin’s natural ability to shed dead skin slows down so we’re often left with a buildup of dull, flaky skin. But fresh, radiant skin is still very much attainable—it just requires a little TLC and some skincare 101.
What can daily light exfoliation do for my skin?
We want to confirm daily light exfoliation is actually good skin practice, and if done correctly, won’t strip your skin. In fact, gentle exfoliation acts as an immediate radiance booster for your skin. Using an exfoliating refresher like a BHA/AHA Brightening Toner balances your complexion to reveal more youthful skin by breaking down pore-clogging dryness and returning a glowing radiance to your skin.
What are BHAs and AHAs and why are they important?
Individually, BHAs and AHAs can make a world of difference on your skin. AHAs are alpha hydroxy acids and BHAs are beta hydroxy acids designed to gently remove dull, dead skin cells the skin's surface. Both are organic compounds designed to smoothen your skin’s outer surface and speed up cell turnover, which slows down with age.
Why is a BHA/AHA Brightening Toner a smart idea?
Using a smart skin exfoliator delivers smoother, younger-looking skin upon first use. Using BHAs and AHAs combined helps to hydrate and rejuvenate the skin while also preventing breakouts. Understanding the power of both revolutionary acids, Vanity Planet combines the power of BHAs and AHAs in a toner to balance the complexion and prep the skin to rebalance both day and night.
Eliminating the need for another step in your routine, a BHA/AHA Brightening Toner is a quick way to brighten, hydrate, eradicate inflammation, and reduce pore size in one refreshing swipe—without any irritation.
Additionally, AHA and BHA work best together to smoothen skin texture, clarify the complexion, eliminate shine, and diminish the look of fine lines.
Have any further questions?
Please feel free to reach out anytime. Our BHA/AHA Brightening Toner is safe for any skin type needing light exfoliation—including sensitive and acne prone skin.
]]>To those of you who have been living under a rock and do not know about the psycho - social theory called “Enneagram.” No need to fear, we got you covered. We not only want to give you a few tidbits about your Enneagram type. We want to share how your type may match up to some of your favorite beauty devices. Now, let’s get started shall we?
To put it in layman's terms, Enneagram consists of 9 different personality types. These types are meant to describe your personality, your motivations, and your downfalls.
For more information on the Enneagram, visit: https://www.enneagraminstitute.com/type-descriptions
To take a free test to discover which type you identify most with, visit: https://personalitypath.com/free-enneagram-personality-test/
Type Ones are described as rational, idealistic, principled, ethical, self controlled and perfectionistic. If you have a type one in your life they are someone who you can count on. They are honorable, will always do their best to excel in everything they do, and will never disappoint you. They can do it all, and make it look easy!
In the Vanity Planet arsenal, type one is Essia. She is compact, controlled, and she really does it all. She can lift your skin to help give you a youthful appearance. She can exfoliate and extract blackheads, excess dirt and debris. She can also moisturize to help maximize your serum absorption. And, just like our type ones you can count on her to do it all.
Type Twos are caring, helpful, generous, people - pleasers, and are willing to do anything to enhance the lives of those around them. Type twos are known for bringing people together, and doing all they can to fulfill and inspire those around them. They’re incredibly easy to get along with, and usually find their purpose by helping others.
In our beauty devices lineup, type two is Raedia. Raedia is one of our best selling, tried and true devices. We aligned Raedia with type two because no matter what your skin concern is, or what device you pair her with she will always “help” that device to enhance your skin. She is dependable, easy to use, efficient, and can truly better your skin no matter what the issue.
Type threes are success - oriented, adaptive, excelling, overachieving, driven, and image conscious. Most CEOs of companies, and high performing individuals are type threes. You will never see a type three late to work, or not looking as if they walked off a runway! They are hard working, and extremely focused. They are also incredibly concerned with their physical image, and will never not look spectacular. That is why our type three beauty device is Pose.
Pose is an aesthetically beautiful device, but she also keeps you looking your best, anywhere - anytime.
Type Four’s are the most emotionally driven, sensitive type. They are expressive, incredibly deep and intellectual and you never know what you are going to get! One day Type Four’s can be incredibly emotionally happy and the next second can be incredibly emotionally down. They are constantly changing. These types are incredibly loyal, long lasting friendships, and relationships are their number one priority. Type Four’s find their worth in being valuable and needed in the lives of those they love.
With that being said, LEDA is our type four device. You never know what you will get… will she light up blue or will she light up red? Will she be combating acne? Or, will she be fighting anti - aging? LEDA is a stand out, stand alone device that can combat many issues at once. She is definitely a beauty device that is individualistic and is a valuable piece of your skincare routine.
Type five’s are intense, perceptive, innovative, secretive and can often be isolated. You can usually find type five’s hidden in a corner at a social function. They often can be described as home bodies. They are incredibly intellectual and generally have a high IQ. They like to spend their time indulging in activities that help further their education (reading, writing, studying) and expanding their minds.
That is why we chose Spin for Perfect Spin. This device is Vanity Planet’s very first device; it is a staple. It is dependable, and is an innovative beauty device. You always know you can depend on a type five, they are solid and loyal. Similarly, Spin for Perfect Skin will never let you down!
Type sixes are committed, security oriented, they are engaging, responsible, and dependable. Type sixes are the type of personality that will always have your back, and are determined to be someone who is a constant, reliable source in your life. They live life in the safe zone; they are not often into taking risks or pushing the boundaries. This is part of why sixes make great partners or friends. They are very emotionally intuitive and will always be a friend you can call in a crisis, because they will always show up. Sixes are practical.
We chose our Elements Toothbrush to represent our type sixes! The toothbrush is practical, it is an item you use daily and need to be able to be productive. Similar to sixes, the toothbrush is an item that will always be there for you.
Type sevens are the life of any party! They have that adventurous personality that will propel from buildings and start a dance party. They are busy, fun loving, spontaneous, versatile, flexible, and often a bit all over the place. Nonetheless - that is what makes them so lovable. They are often the person who has many stories to tell, because unlike sixes they are always pushing the limits in life. Type sevens walk into a room and everyone turns, eager to see what they will say or do next.
We chose Senia to represent our type sevens. Senia is a beauty device that turns heads. She is not only aesthetically pleasing, but she is a unique, one of a kind device that truly does it all! You could call her adventurous because she took Aira which is our hot facial steamer and added cool steam, plus six more customizable modes. This device is also perfect for type sevens… they often struggle to make up their minds, which works well since Senia has many options to choose from!
Type Eight - The Challenger
Type eights do their name justice, often challenging those in their personal and professional life to think outside of the box. Type eights are powerful, dominating, self confident, truth seekers. Type eights always “tell it like it is” and don’t hold back when it comes to sharing their thoughts and opinions! Type eights will jump in front of a speeding car to protect those they love, and are often referred to as the most loyal type. They are confrontational, and will confront even the most difficult situations to protect those in their life. There is no mystery with type eights, you always know what they are thinking and feeling because they don’t hold back.
To show type eights intensity we chose Exfora, our Microdermabrasion Wand. Exfora combats one of the toughest skin concerns using an intense suctioning technique to rid the skin of dead skin cells, and clear out blackheads. Exfora leaves your skin feeling smooth, and fresh as a daisy! The same way type eights support and protect you, is the same way Exfora assures that your pores are clear and healthy.
Now, we are on our ninth and final type… type nines are the most easy going, go with the flow, receptive, reassuring, supportive, and agreeable type! Unlike type eights, you will almost never see a type nine cause any conflict or confront anyone. They always like to be flexible, and are never the one to raise their hand and ask for anything they need. They are easy to get along with, and are incredibly trusting. They are referred to as the peacemaker, because they truly do all they can to keep the peace and calm down any issues that may arise in their relationships.
Our final device, that we paired with type nines is one of our best selling, claim to fame devices… Aira! Aira is a happy go lucky, easy to operate, efficient device. Similar to type nines she blows off steam, and never wants to cause any problems for the people who use her.
We hope that this blog was a great way to introduce you to the famous psycho social theory of Enneagram. Now, go discover what your type is and snag the beauty device that aligns with you!
]]>We’re debunking the myths about toners to explain 1) What They Do and 2) Why They’re Important. Read on as we dissect why a toner just may be your skin's secret weapon against common skin woes.
Toners are an efficient last step in a thorough cleansing process. Often having a milky or watery texture, toners remove remaining makeup—and even the day’s pollution—in just a few, easy swipes. Impurities can often linger on one’s complexion after initial cleansing so a toner often guarantees your skin remains it’s purest form of clean.
The purpose of a face toner is to remove excess dirt and traces of makeup. For us, it was important to take things a step further and design one that gently exfoliates to make it an essential 2-in-1 treatment. Our clinical trials show its smart practice to use a toner that removes flakey skin to up level anti-aging efforts and ensure the deepest clean.
Skin enthusiasts swear by a facial toners ability to cleanse and close pores to benefit dry, oily, acne-prone skin—and even rosacea. Facial toners are definitely a great addition for complexions plagued by plugged pores and frequent blemishes.
Here are all the ways facial toners help decongest the skin:
Until next time! Remember to always apply a minimum of SPF 30 during the day when using any AHA product.
]]>Why do I need a skincare routine you might ask? Because a good skincare routine promotes skin health and achieving your best skin will take some action on your part. The building blocks to feeling confident from the inside out start with the choices you make daily. And we are here to help guide you through this journey. This step-by-step guide will set you on the path to the best skin, and your best Self.
Cleanser: At the bare minimum, daily cleansing will remove the buildup of oil, dirt, and pollution that accumulates on your face that can lead to clogged pores and dull skin. Starting with a clean face allows the products that follow work even better. It truly is an essential part of having good skin.
Toner: Toning the skin is an extra cleansing step to remove dirt and impurities from makeup and environmental pollution. They also help remove any excess oil, which is what clogs pores and causes blackheads in the first place, and, help restore pH balance to the skin.
Exfoliant: Environmental damage and other factors cause the surface of the skin to become dull, rough and uneven. Exfoliating is vital in eliminating this buildup, which otherwise will cause clogged pores and uneven skin tone and worsen the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Acne Treatment (if needed): Research shows that topical treatments such as tea tree, AHA’s and glycolic acids are an essential step for preventing new acne or clearing out current acne.
Serums: Serums filled with antioxidants and other anti-aging ingredients help defend your skin from environmental stressors helping soften the visible signs of aging for healthier, younger looking skin.
Moisturizer: Good quality moisturizers contain skin-restoring ingredients that instantly hydrate and lock in moisture while delivering unique benefits based on your skin concerns.
SPF: This essential morning step keeps your skin protected from the short, and long-term visible effects of sun damage which leads to wrinkles, uneven skin tone, loss of firmness, and many other signs of aging.
The following covers the basic types of products everyone should use, and the order in which to use them, day and night. These types apply to most skin types.
Essential Routine: MORNING
Step 1: Cleanse & Exfoliate | For early risers kicking off the day right, morning brush use is key. Starting with a facial cleansing brush, attaching your brush head of choice and a nickel size of your daily cleanser to create a clean, smooth canvas for what is to follow.
Step 2: Moisturize & Protect | When using the right universal moisturizer made for all skin types, dry, dull, sensitive, inflamed skin will be visibility smoother, younger and replenished. Sunscreen acts as a shield defense - keeping the bad stuff out, and the good stuff in.
Essential Routine: EVENING
Step 1: Cleanse & Exfoliate | Take the day off with a super-powered, make-up removing cleanser. Removing all traces of make-up to avoid build-up in the pores is key. Starting with a facial cleansing brush, attach your brush head of choice and a nickel size of your daily cleanser to create a clean, smooth canvas for your evening cream to follow.
Note: If you prefer to use an acid or textured exfoliant, we suggest excluding the facial cleansing brush from your evening routine and using the active exfoliant 2-3 times a week.
Adding luxurious and super ingredient-based serums will take your skin to the next level. If you’re concerned with breakouts, signs of aging, large pores, uneven skin tone, or sensitive skin, an Advanced Routine is your new best friend. It includes targeted solutions and boosters that build on the foundation of the Essential Routine to address your personal skincare concerns while being compatible with the needs of your skin type.
Knowing you are using a system that was created specifically for your individual needs, makes it all the better. Free of parabens, fillers, toxins, and synthetics, incorporating our serums and lotions into your routine, provide the nutrients and hydration your skin craves, whilst combating free radicals in the air, which lead to inflammation, aging skin, clogged pores and so much more you want to avoid.
Advanced Routine: MORNING
Step 1: Cleanse & Exfoliate | For early risers kicking off the day right, morning brush use is key. Starting with a facial cleansing brush, attach your brush head of choice and a nickel size of your daily cleanser to create a clean, smooth canvas for your evening cream to follow.
Step 2: Tone | Clear out any traces of make-up or build up left behind with your toner of choice. Pour a quarter size into a cotton pad and wipe away any impurities.
Step 3: Serum | Freshly prepped skin absorbs key ingredients like Vitamin C, E, and powerful antioxidants for defense against free radicals which leads to inflammation and aged skin.
Step 4: Moisturize | When using the right universal moisturizer made for all skin types, dry, dull, sensitive, inflamed skin will be visibility smoother, younger and replenished.
Step 5: Protect | Sunscreen acts as a shield defense - keeping the bad stuff out, and the good stuff in.
Note: Apply in order of thinnest to thickest texture – always before sunscreen
Advanced Routine: EVENING
Step 1: Cleanse & Exfoliate | Take the day off with a super-powered, make-up removing cleanser. Removing all traces of make-up to avoid build-up in the pores is key. Starting with a facial cleansing brush, attach your brush head of choice and a nickel size of your daily cleanser to create a clean, smooth canvas for your evening cream to follow.
Note: If you prefer to use an acid or textured exfoliant, we suggest excluding the facial cleansing brush from your evening routine and using the active exfoliant 2-3 times a week.
Step 2: Tone | Clear out any traces of make-up or build up left behind with your toner of choice. Pour a quarter size into a cotton pad and wipe away any impurities.
Step 3: Serums | Age fighting super boosters are vital in your routine in order to reap the benefits while you sleep.
Step 4: Moisturize/Repair | Retinols are highly recommended as a final step in your routine for those looking to take their anti-aging routine to the next level. Oils also can be your best friend – especially for those looking to add extra hydration to the skin.
What about Eye Creams? Choose your eye cream based on how dry the skin around your eyes are and consider other concerns you might have, such as crow’s feet, dark circles, puffiness. And make sure to apply before your sunscreen if using during the day.
Building a skin regimen rich in key ingredient products, with targeted formulas, will pay you back over time. No one cares as much about you, as you! Take it upon yourself, affirming that you are worthy of, the-best-of-the-best. You live in one body during your lifetime. Give it purity!
]]>1. A Facialist on Speed-Dial
Prepping your skin for an important day or just wanting to pamper at-home? Facial steaming can help with both! A soothing facial steamer customizes treatments for the face, neck and décolleté to remove dryness and that unwanted layer of dead skin to allow nutrients from your skincare ingredients to truly penetrate.
Packed with the power of fine ionic mist, a facial steamer also gently exfoliates, detoxifies, and cleanses your skin like the pros without the need for extractions—regardless of skin type or time of season. Pair facial steaming with a fortified clean serums (especially hyaluronic acid) to amp skin’s elasticity and glow this winter.
2. Your Go-To Reset button
Skin health is always our top priority! Facial steamers can de-bloat the skin by detoxing the complexion of impurities. As a bonus, they also decongests sinuses and decompresses your entire being after a long day. Melt away stress while flushing out toxins and feeling invigorated.
3. Aromatherapy On-Demand
Aside from boosting hydration, our facial sauna is the perfect remedy for relaxation. The ultra-fine nano steam cycles warm mist way longer than other traditional facial steamers, so we recommend adding essential oil for a memorable treat. So lay back, relax, and take in the aromatherapy steam!
4. A Must-Have Sleep Aid
Drift off to better sleep after receiving deep relaxation therapy with facial steaming. We find that it gently lulls us to sleep after a heavy day. It’s quickly become the office bedtime ritual.
First use and you’ll agree— Facial steaming is the trick to better recuperative beauty sleep and the ultimate in skin pampering.
]]>As fellow beauty gurus, you’ve probably seen lots of buzz about blue and red LED in skincare tools lately—but what’s the difference and how do we know which is best for our lifestyles or skin types? The pros have advised us all to do our research prior to using any new skin stuff, so we’ve done our homework and we’re here to share some answers.
Running on empty or just can’t sleep? Moms around the world, turn on the red LED light! This powerhouse of light hits the surface layer of the skin to rejuvenate cells for collagen and elastin production—AKA helps diminish fine lines and wrinkles. Give under-eye crow’s feet, mouthy smile lines, and expressive brow furrows a run for their money using a red LED silicone brush.
We love to turn on the massage mode (go ahead, skip the cleansing brush this time!) to get all the benefits of red LED light for your skin, while lying in bed—perfect while watching your fave rom-com or binging Bravo TV!
If you’re just getting started with your anti-aging routine, red LED is perfect for preventative treatments on a daily basis to keep those little lines at bay! So, whether you’re turning in a college paper or simply just turning 50, you’ll easily flip the switch on anti-aging with red LED.
Want to wave buh-bye to blemishes and keep skin free of breakouts? Teenagers with oily skin or anyone who’s more prone to acne, a blue LED silicone brush is going to be your new BFF (we pinky-swear!).
Give unwanted clogged pores or bacteria on the skin’s surface the boot at the push of a button. Gentle enough for sensitive skin, the FDA-approved wavelengths from our calming and cool blue LED help to eliminate environmental dirt and impurities for a flawless, filter-like complexion. Plus, it doesn’t stop there—the anti-bacterial silicone bristles make it easier than ever to achieve good, clean skin.
You can also power on all the benefits while chatting on the phone with your current crush—swap the cleansing brush out for the massage head, for a soft, blue LED massage treatment. Because being a teenager is sometimes tough enough, your skin should be the least of your worries. A world without pimples? Count us in!
No matter if you’re reaching for red or blue LED, there’s no doubt you’ll address some of your biggest complexion concerns and turn on a totally new way to care for your skin. You’re welcome.]]>Wanna get glowing, summer skin without any of that icky, harmful UV-ray stuff? Personally, we don’t feel like heading to the derma come Fall and being shamed for sun damage (it’s happened way too many times!). But let’s be real…we can’t help it—summer calls for carefree days and dewy complexions, all while soaking in that beach or poolside nap we dream about all year.
Now, we recognize some of you babes might live in all different climates across the globe, so we’ve compiled our top 5 tricks to achieving naturally glowing skin to make sure your glowin’ from head to toe no matter if you’re in the sunshine state or somewhere that might require you to fake it till you make it!
Microdermabrasion is this season’s facial of choice. Give yourself 2-3 days where you spend a couple extra minutes on your skin. Reach for our Exfora Microdermabrasion Wand—our pro-level tool for sucking the life outta harmful impurities and exfoliating dead skin cells, all while improving circulation and collagen production. In just a few minutes, your skin will be fresh to death with a radiant after-glow.
Our favorite little secret trick: cold showers. I know you probably think we’re totally nuts and maybe this doesn’t sound appealing to some, but we swear by it. The cold water tightens and constricts the blood flow in your skin, leaving you with a healthy glowup…instantly.
If you can’t even imagine standing in anything other than hot water while you’re waiting for your hair mask to set in or shaving your legs, at least end the shower on a cool note—just the last 30 secs in there makes a huge, glowing difference!
Amp up the effects from your entire summer skincare arsenal with our Senia Hot and Cold Facial Steamer. This baby has 6 (yes, that’s right…6!) customizable modes for your own unique skincare goals. Turn up the heat with “hot mode” to open pores and allow your skin to soak in all the yummy serums, masks, and treatments, or flip the switch to “cold mode” to close pores, tighten the skin, and lock in moisture.
If you really wanna get wet and wild, turn on “hydration mode” to help keep skin moisturized and hydrated for an all-day glow. No matter what mode you’re in the mood for, the summer sure looks steamy.
Skip the long morning routine and start spending a little extra time at night. When you reach for serums and oils at night instead of the day, you give your skin time to soak up all their goodness while you get some shut eye. Just like any other organ in the body, skin rests, restores and rejuvenates while we sleep—which is perfect for being able to really benefit from the antioxidants and nutrients in our skincare.
The end result? Naturally glowing skin! You’ll wake up with a dewy complexion that’ll last all day.
So, you live in a town that’s idea of summer is a thunderstorm and humidity beyond belief? Reach into your makeup bag, because we guarantee you’ve got everything you need to fake it till you make it!
STEP 1: Apply foundation as normal, choosing a shade that best represents your current skin tone.
STEP 2: Add a bronzer along the cheekbones, while lightly dusting the chin and forehead.
STEP 3: Brighten the apples of the cheeks with a highlighter, gradually diffusing towards the outer part of the face. Apply to the tip of the nose, cupid’s bow, and brow bone for an added pop.
STEP 4: Choose a bronze shade of eyeshadow and sweep over the lids.
STEP 5: Finish with a naturally pink shade of lipstick.
We hope you’re out showing off that natural summer glow right now, and if not, at least you’ve got a few tips and tricks for when the time feels right.

That’s where the Body Analyzer comes in. This is more than just your average bathroom scale. It still calculates your weight but adds a whole bunch of extra information into the mix for you to get a more accurate picture of your body’s health.
It starts with the Bio Impedance Analysis technology or BIA. When you step on the stainless steel pads on the scale’s platform, an electrical current is passed through your body. Don’t worry, it won’t hurt. In fact, you won’t even feel it. This electrical current is extremely important, though, since it measures all those vital body composition statistics as it goes through you.
So, what exactly does it measure? Well, as we said, it covers the weight portion but adds in your body fat percentage, the total body water percentage, your bone mass, and your muscle mass. This gives you a much more complete picture of your body’s health statistics than any normal scale. To make this even clearer, let’s break this down into each stat.
We all know that too much body fat is unhealthy but too little can be just as bad. Staying within a healthy range is best, giving your body the essential fats it needs to keep running smoothly. That’s right, you need somebody fat to be healthy, so find out the right percentage for your gender, age and athletic level and go from there.
Most of us are aware that humans are made up of quite a bit of water. Without it, our cells wouldn’t be able to function properly, which would affect how our bodies work. This is why the Body Analyzer checks out your water weight, to be sure you’re getting enough of those healthy fluids to keep everything running smoothly. Drinking lots of water also helps to flush out your system, clearing out toxins and helping you lose weight, so stay hydrated.
Have you ever heard someone say they have “big bones”? This is actually true for some of us. Eventually, our bones do start to weaken, which means they weigh less than they did when we were in our prime. Other issues may also cause weakening in the bones, like huge fluctuations in your weight from constantly dieting and gaining again. Weak bones can get brittle, breaking more easily from bumps or falls you would have only had slight bruises from before. Keeping track of your bone density will help keep them strong enough to handle anything life throws at you.

Now you may be wondering, what is a lymphatic massage in the first place? Lymphatic facial massages work with the lymphatic system by targeting the lymph nodes and draining the body of toxins and other unwanted materials. Not only are they extremely relaxing, they can have benefits for the entire body.
The lymphatic system is a network of tissues and organs that rid the body of toxins. Lymph nodes play an important role in the lymphatic system; there are more than 600 lymph nodes in the body. Lymph nodes are glands that filter and cleanse the lymphatic fluid, AKA lymph, as it passes through your lymphatic system.
Lymph fluid supports the immune system by transporting infection-fighting white blood cells called lymphocytes throughout the body. However, lymph vessels can become obstructed, causing the flow of lymph to be blocked and the lymph nodes to swell. Not only can this cause puffiness and discomfort, but the buildup of toxins can also reduce immunity while increasing the risk of infection and inflammation.
Swollen lymph nodes are a sign that your body is fighting off infection, illness, or reacting to stress. Swollen lymph nodes can range in size from a small pea to the size of a cherry. They are often painful to touch and can cause limited movement and puffiness. Swollen lymph nodes in the head and neck area can occur as a result of a bacterial or viral infection including, but not limited to:
Lymph obstructions can also lead to a more serious condition called lymphedema. Lymphedema causes severe swelling, usually in the arms or legs, after a lymph is removed during surgery. Though there’s no cure for lymphedema, swelling lymph nodes and lymph buildup can be relieved with a simple lymphatic massage.
A gentle, specialized massage, done professionally or at home, can help ease some of the symptoms that come from an obstructed lymph vessel. Draining lymph nodes gets fluid and blood circulating again and helps to spread infection-fighting white blood cells throughout the body.
Massages can help to reduce anxiety, headaches, tissue strains, and joint pain. Lymphatic drainage can also relieve symptoms of stiffness and depression in people living with fibromyalgia. Since the immune system is directly linked to the lymphatic system, lymphatic drainage massage can stimulate white blood cell circulation to fight off infections like colds or flu.
Research has also shown that there is a direct link between the skin and the lymphatic vessels. When the vessels are blocked, it can cause stretching and sagging of the skin. Not only can lymphatic facial massages help to boost your immune system, lymphatic massage benefits can also include sculpting, soothing, and firming of the skin.
There’s no need to go to a professional and dish out money for a lymphatic massage - you can easily do your own lymphatic facial massage at home using simple tools, at your leisure, and for free! Lymph nodes are concentrated in areas of the face and neck. Facial massaging tools can supplement your at-home massage by providing more targeted and precise pressure to drain your lymph nodes. If you want to know how to drain lymph nodes effectively, target the following areas:
Here is how you can do your own lymphatic facial massage from home:
The lymphatic system plays a huge role in your health and wellbeing. Any disruptions to this system can affect your overall immunity and the appearance of your skin. Luckily, lymphatic drainage massages are a great way to maintain healthy and beautiful looking skin while also reducing swelling and boosting your immunity. All of that, free of charge!

Could it get any smarter? It sure can! The smart screen on the front of this electronic tool digitally directs how to treat problematic areas for a very virtual experience. They’ll unblock impurities, blackheads, and say buh-bye to acne breakouts right from their own home.

Pair this present with our Forever Young Hot & Cold Rejuvenating Facial Wand to help open and close pores for the ultimate pro-level treatment. Turn up the heat to open pores for maximum absorption of serums and moisturizers. Then cool things down and shrink pores (preferably after exfoliating with Exfora!) to calm inflammation or puffiness. With these two tucked under the tree, they (& their skin!) will be singing a happy tune by the fire.

OUR FINAL, TOP GIFT-GIVER TIP:
Whether you’re shopping for your cute, younger cousin or your crazy-wild gal pal, we can promise that beautiful skin is everyone’s favorite holiday gift.
Happy Holidays!
To all the men out there…we know you want to use our beauty tools and we’re totally here for it! We can’t even count how many times we’ve had our significant other spend the night and caught him reaching four our cleansing brush in the morning. Men deserve to feel pampered and pretty, too—which is one of the many reasons why we created our Onyx Collection.
We’ve got the gifts for men to get the guy in your life beautified and leave him wanting more. There are literally no rules when it comes to beauty tools, and in our opinion, everyone should take good care of their skin. Just because you’re a man your pores don’t clog, you don’t get breakouts, and you don’t need a travel-friendly LED mirror? We think not. Let’s face it…this holiday, maybe his list says PS5, but we know his heart is really screaming VP!
Picturing any man in a room full of steam, gets us hot, hot, hot! Turn him on to the enjoyment of creating his very own steam-sesh right in the comfort of his home with our Onyx Senia Smart Facial Steamer.
With hot and cold modes, he’ll easily elevate everyday grooming to spa-level. May we suggest a pre-shave steam to prep skin for exfoliation and prevent in-grown hairs or perhaps a post-workout cooldown to relax and unwind? No matter what, he’ll be spending more time in the bathroom and we’re okay with that!
We love this gift for any man that’s on the go. Whether he’s camping out in a tent with his boys or always jet setting on a business trip, the Onyx Mini Pose LED Mirror To Go makes sure he’s looking fly.
The sleek design of this LED mirror is one of the many gifts it gives, allowing him to groom anytime, anywhere. With dimmable and adjustable white, yellow, blue lights and a self-standing feature, he’ll be set up for skincare success (while looking real, damn good!) and for whatever he wants to take a closer look at.
He’ll love taking this baby for a spin! Much more efficient than that bar of soap he’s got sitting on his bathroom sink—our Onyx Raedia Facial Brush will help to open the pores, gently removing dirt and oil and prep his skin for the perfect shave.
This waterproof tool can be taken in the shower (we know he loves to multi-task!) and with four interchangeable brush heads for face and body, you’ll give him the gift of good, clean skin this holiday. Plus, it all comes complete with a black zipped-up tote so he can keep his skincare on lock while on the go.
Not only does our Onyx Essia Exfoliating Skin Spatula dig out dirt, oil, and impurities from clogged pores, but it lifts and tightens the skin using ultrasonic oscillation and electrical muscle stimulation, too! He’ll easily renew a bright and blemish-free complexion at the push of the button, helping remove ingrown hairs from shaving, stubborn blackheads, and dead skin cells. With the penetration power to dig deep (3-5mm to be exact!) into the skin, he’ll prep for superior product absorption in no time. Plus, he’ll secretly (or not so secretly) love to tighten and lift the inner facial muscles, leaving him looking as snatched as Derek Zoolander.
New Year’s resolutions don’t always have to be a post-holiday bummer. For the man in your life that’s looking to get in tip-top shape in 2022, our FormFit+ Bluetooth Body Composition Smart Scale is the gift they’ve been “weight-ing” for. This Bluetooth-enabled, high-tech smart scale connects with a smartphone wireless app to work as a weight scale, BMI scale, and body fat scale. Plus, he’ll easily analyze 13 fitness metrics and track his body composition with accurate BIA technology.
So, if he’s planning on heading to the gym as soon as the holidays are over to get his pump on, he’s gonna love staying on track and keeping off the weight with this handy tool. We swear, his bod will thank you…in more ways than one!
Sleek and chic for any man’s bathroom sink—our Elements Sonic Toothbrush provides a stylish new meaning to oral care. Just like the man in your life, this toothbrush is a multi-tasking master! With UV sanitation and tailored brushing modes to meet his needs, those pearly whites will be kept clean without sacrificing for some nerdy, dental design.
Plus, there’s even a two-minute brushing timer to ensure he’s brushing the ADA-recommended time, while a 30-minute interval reminds you to switch sides. Now, that’s some seriously good, healthy-teeth habits!
Now, even though all these gift ideas may not literally make it on his list this holiday, we promise he’ll still be thanking you long after he rings in the new year.
]]>That time of year is just around the corner, and we’re dedicated to being your one-stop beauty shop for everyone on your wish list!

Especially with the rumors about shipping delays, it’s best to start your holiday shopping extra-early (because you’re the smart one in the friend group, right?).
Not only does shopping for gifts give you more time to actually enjoy the magic of the season, but your tree always looks wayyy cuter with presents under it!

The super-slim silhouette and dimmable LED ring light help give your giftee major influencer vibes no matter if they’re camping or spending the week in the Caribbean.

Did somebody say, “snatched for the holidays?”
No better way to kick off the season than rollin’ with a few homies. Face rollers are all the buzz and with their affordable price it’s no wonder so many of us are reaching for the roller instead of making expensive facial appointments. Rollers are super easy to use and can be stored in your refrigerator for a cooling (and pore-minimizing!) affect or right on your nightstand for easy access while binge-watching true-crime docs.
Holiday season means lots of parties and reunions, so we need our skin to be looking fresh to death! For anyone on your list that might be looking to keep skin photo-ready for every occasion and enlarged pores or pimples at bay, we’ve got the goods to help.
Tell Santa to slip our Veil LED Acne Spot Treatment into their stocking to eliminate acne-causing bacteria and calm inflammation. This mini, but mighty tool is more powerful than a trip to the pimple popper—with blue and red LED light therapy, they’ll easily break down bacteria to demolish acne, while also increasing circulation to promote skin health.
Baby, it’s cold outside, but did you ever think to put that cold stuff on your skin? We sure did! With the Revive Professional Facial Ice Roller, they’ll “ice, ice, baby” to instantly shrink pores, depuff, and look real damn ready for the holidays. This is the perfect holiday stocking stuffer for someone who wants to rock and roll their way to tighter pores and a flawless complexion—plus, it stays cold for up to 2 hours, so they can keep it rolling into the new year.
This holiday, for anyone who’s on the “nice” list...give them skin they’ve always wished for.
]]>Men’s skin is different from women. It is thicker, has more collagen, elastin, and oil, all of which can help in the fight against Father Time. However, these assets can act as a double-edged sword. Oily skin, for instance, can cause clogged pores. Thick skin grows rough with shaving, which also breaks down the all-important skin barrier. And men, generally speaking, are often ignorant about skin care basics.
An Acupoll Precision Research online survey revealed that 33% of men admit they don’t wash their face on a daily basis. 32% use bar soap. 45% think that is as effective as a facial cleanser. And men 18-24 are twice as likely not to wash their face at all (compared with men 45-54). So, as we proudly introduce our new Onyx Collection, here are those skin care basics that men need, too.
Whether we’re talking women’s or men’s skincare, Everything starts with a deep, yet gentle cleanse. Soap and water just aren’t going to give that to you. Remember: men have an oilier complexion, which promotes clogged pores, blackheads, blemishes while retaining residual dirt, grime, and bacteria. You need to get all that off, without stripping the skin.
This is why we suggest starting with our Raedia Facial Cleansing Brush. Four interchangeable, dual speed brush heads gently remove all that oil and dirt. You’ll get a much cleaner shave, and, as importantly, a much cleaner face (and body!) which is fundamental to skin care.
Okay, now that we have dealt with what’s on the skin, we need to extract what’s in it. Which means opening up the pores. And, while we are at it, we also want to moisturize. Hydration gives skin a suppleness, which promotes a much smoother shave, along with a youthful look.
And guys, just an FYI, nobody escapes Father Time.
So, for this second step, you will be well served by our Senia Smart Hot and Cold Steamer, which has a six-in-one steam mode for all types of skin. Hot mode opens the pores to help you achieve the closest shave you’ve ever had while reducing post shave irritation. Plus it preps your skin for the removal of ingrown hairs, blackheads, all that undesirable gunk mentioned above. Hydration mode moisturizes, and, finally, a cold mode, that closes pores, tightens skin, while locking moisture in.
The next step in his skincare routine entails actually extracting all that unwanted debris - a process also known as exfoliation. For this, we spotlight the third ‘jewel’ in our collection: the Essia Ultrasonic Exfoliating Skin Spatula. Using Ultra High Frequency Oscillation, and Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS), the Essia removes those blackheads, ingrown hairs, etc., as it lifts and tightens facial contours, reducing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.
Time to review your handiwork. However, even a beloved bathroom mirror can’t give the focused inspection you need. And who says you are at home? So, on to the final component of the Onyx Collection: the Mini Pose LED Travel Mirror.
Sleek, portable, with three adjustable light settings in bright, warm, and cool, the Mini Pose lets you get up close and personal with your skin. The better to see if there is any spot you missed, as well as where to apply skin care products.
So, gentlemen, there you have it: the four, foundational basics of good skin care, and how our Onyx Collection covers each one. Use all four components, and your complexion will thank you for spa grade grooming, wherever you go.
]]>Remember when we didn’t think twice about picking out a product from the drugstore and slapping it on our face? Little did we know that a lot of the beauty formulas we swore by contained harsh chemicals that have been proven to cause serious damage to our health and the environment around us. Not to mention, the fact that now we know regulation of what’s contained in our products is pretty much non-existent. More and more we see stores like Sephora and Target categorizing clean beauty brands as their own entity and we’re here for it!
We know, it’s a lot to take in but don’t fret—we’ve broken down why you need to start shopping clean, and what products we recommend to help you get out of that toxic relationship.
First thing’s first—read up on clean, non-toxic beauty brands. Natural and organic doesn’t always immediately translate the same as “certified clean” beauty, so it’s important to either read up on ingredients online or spend time reading the back of the packaging while in-store. “greenwashing” in the industry has become a thing, so it’s important to not be triggered by words like “organic” and assume it’s good for you.
Labels should be super transparent—simple to understand using words like “fragrance-free” or “preservative-free” on the bottle. However, please do your research ahead of purchasing. Trust us, the confidence in knowing you’re putting pure products on your face and body is worth the time!
Look for products containing harmful hormone disrupters, carcinogens and synthetic chemicals —ingredients commonly found in many beauty products. Let’s list out some of the most harmful ingredients to look out for:
PARABENS • FRAGRANCES • OXYBENZONE • DIETHANOLAMINE • TRICLOSAN • PHTHALATES
SULFATES • FORMALDEHYDE • POLYETHYLENE • HYDROXYANISOLE
Not all products are created perfectly, but to let go of any toxicity in your beauty bag, you must look out for certain ingredients and just say “no!” Maybe your fave shade of red lipstick contains fragrances, and your must-have hair mousse is full of phthalates—there are so many clean options on the market that provide major pigmentation in makeup and the same soft, results in haircare. It’s never been easier to live a non-toxic life.
Speaking of, let us help you clean out what you currently have and start with a few suggestions. Of course we’ve picked out a few bundles from our most recent collaboration with 100% Pure™ to bring you products that we are happy to say are 100% Pure™, clean and non-toxic!
Our Super Serum Booster Bundle packs a punch of clean ingredients to help you morning and night. Rise, shine, and decrease puffiness under the eyes with 100% Pure™ Coffee Bean Caffeine Eyes and set yourself up for a good and clean night’s sleep with a Multi-Vitamin + Antioxidants Potent PM Serum. Boost the effectiveness of skin care and lock in all those clean ingredients using our Vanity Planet Forever Young Hot & Cold Wand and your skin will thank you 24/7.
With our Cloud Cleanser Bundle, you’ll keep things clean…literally. With every pump of pure ingredients from the 100% Pure™ Cucumber Cloud Foam Cleanser, you’ll soothe and detox your complexion from dirt, oil, and impurities along the skin’s surface and deep down into your pores. Thanks to help from our handy-dandy Raedia Facial Cleansing Brush, each clean experience is invigorating to say the least.
By minimizing your arsenal and focusing on pure, non-toxic skincare brands you’ll find yourself with better skin, better health, an enhanced beauty experience you can trust, and supporting some independent brands that share common beliefs.
Just like a toxic relationship with an ex, we need to say goodbye to things that are bad for us and learn to love ourselves again. When it comes to creating a new way of shopping for clean beauty products, you’ll live in a healthier, happier, more holistic place—and still look real damn good!
Summer is here and everyone is on the go go GO— from the much-needed travel we’ve all been dying to do to bonfires on the beach with friends. To save ourselves some time, we’re simplifying our routine and trying Skinimalism.
So… What in the heck is skinimalism? Think minimalism for your skin! This year’s largest beauty trend is encouraging us to strip down our beauty routine, leave our skin basically bare, wearing close to no makeup, but still obtaining a youthful, Bond-girl glow. It may seem like we are talking about some strange beauty phenomenon, but we don’t kid around about summer glow.
In a few words, Skinimalism is taking your 10 step skincare routine and simplifying it. With only a few fave skincare tools, you’ll create the perfect canvas for a dewy complexion without the drawn-out routine (ain’t nobody got time for that!). Don’t believe us? We’ve made it easy for you—just follow these 3 simple steps.
The first step in every skinimalism skincare routine is keepin’ it so fresh and so clean, clean—AKA: WASH YOUR DANG FACE! We recommend reaching for your Raedia Facial Cleansing Brush to detoxify and cleanse out impurities from pores, while buffing the surface layer of your skin with whatever pressure you prefer.
Wanna get your bod glowing from head to toe, too? No problem. This handy-dandy set also includes a brush head for your body, plus a carrying case for when you’re heading out on your next getaway.
Another tool we’ve been turning on lately has been our LEDA Blue LED Light Brush. This small, but smart skincare brush cleanses using blue LEDs, helps prevent future breakouts, and fights acne-causing bacteria all at the push of a button—yup, it’s that easy.
Now’s the time to make the most out of your skincare by prepping for the ultimate product absorption. The only way to do that is steam, baby, steam! Sit back and relax for a minute or 10 with either our Aira Ionic Facial Steamer or Senia Hot and Cold Facial Steamer.
Both aromatically work to help open pores, purify the skin, and luxuriously hydrate for a dewiness that’ll last all day. After you’ve prepped the skin with a good amount of steam, you’re good to glow and ready to absorb all the yummy benefits from your skincare products!
Here’s the part of the program where you get to play “aesthetician.” Just like a trip to the spa, you’ll whip out the ultimate triple-threat tool—our Essia Ultrasonic Exfoliating Skin Spatula. With 3 powerful modes, you’ll exfoliate, moisturize, and lift your way to that long-lasting summer glowup you’ve been wishing for.
Exfoliate using the spatula to rid clogged-up pores of any blackheads or debris. Then flip it over and apply serums and moisturizers in the coolest way possible. You’ll finish by lifting the skin where you need it most—around the eyes and maybe along the jawline. The result is youthful, radiant skin…and you got it all on your own in your home!
At the end of the day, summer is about being your carefree, youthful self—just you and your gorgeous skinimalism skin! No makeup. No filters. No fuss.
