Best at home facial products and devices?

After a full on few years as a stay at home mum I’m finally going to be getting some time back for myself.
in a previous life I loved a salon facial, but time and money aren’t on my side at this stage of life.
Id love to hear any recommendations for at home products or devices that give good results? Has anyone used any of the Nuface devices or the new Shark facial gadget? TIA

I can't recommend anything as I have a foreo bear (like the nuface) and it's done nothing really.
Id love an LED face mask but they are £££ in order to get a good one.

I got the Ziip Halo at Christmas and am loving it. Quick and easy to use and definitely seeing an effect especially under my eyes.

That’s good to know. Thank you

I’ve got the nuface. It’s good, and I do see a difference, but it’s temporary. I think for it to be longer lasting you need to use it religiously, but even then I don’t think it’s permanent. However, it’s great to make you look fresher and take down any puffiness on the day.

I think it’s best to save your money and have a treat at a professional clinic 1-2x per year.

Something like Sofwave, CO2 laser or even a couple of Botox treatments will give you more noticeable changes that at home gadgets.

Alternatively spending the money on very good skin care. Something like Obagi, or Alumier- you would see an improvement in your skin. But these gadgets- I’m not convinced by them.

This is what I said on a similar thread yesterday:

If you have the budget then I would strongly recommend an LED face mask. I bought the CurrentBody one, along with their neck/chest mask and there's a noticable difference in just two weeks. I've been taking pictures so it's definitely real and not wishful thinking! My skin looks brighter and clearer, my neck/jawline is a little firmer, and the lines between my eyes (the elevenses) are less prominent. I take the pictures in a morning, after showering but before using any skincare so that there's no bias introduced from what skincare I'm using.
I'm honestly gobsmacked at the difference in such a short time. They say that you should see a difference at the 6-8 week mark so I really wasn't expecting much at this early stage. I do use it religiously five times per week. Oh and I'm 45 and I would say my skin is similar to yours, my forehead lines are maybe slightly less prominent but my elevenses are much more prominent (I frown when I'm thinking and had faint lines here before I was even 20).
