Skincare tech
The Omnilux Mini Eye Brightener is a small red light therapy device that de-puffs, brightens and firms the under eye area. It's clinically-proven, dermatologist-recommended and Omnilux is a highly reputed brand within the skincare tech industry. If your mum likes her skincare, then this is a great option.
The Silk'n FaceTite Mini uses Bipolar RF energy and LED light therapy to soften fine lines in difficult-to-reach places, such as such as under the eyes, between the eyebrows and around the mouth. 96% of users reported visibly reduced wrinkles after one month of usage, with no adverse side effects.
Through ionic energy, Kat Burki Micro Firming Wand is designed to facilitate a deeper penetration of skincare products by 30%. The wand automatically vibrates once moisture is detected and will stop once the product has been completely absorbed.
The Aira Ionic Facial Steamer uses therapeutic steam made of nano-sized water molecules which instantly hydrate and soften the skin's surface, detoxifying anyone's pores of impurities and dead skin cells. Clearer pores also allows the skin to be more receptive to other skincare products and treatments, so you'll just be helping your mum out even more. Why not pick up her favourite essential oil for her to include as well?
The Homedics Pureté Plus is a handy smart cleansing brush with a top spot in our best facial cleansing brush guide. It features a Bluetooth analyser which provides a full daily routine via the Homedics App. If your mum enjoys looking after her skin, this would make the perfect gift.
