What’s new for 2025
These are the beauty devices I love and the ones that are just gathering dust. I was really good about using Solawave everyday for well over a year, then I swapped to NuFace for a while before moving onto ZIIP Halo which I’ve now been using consistently for a year. It’s the most effective skin tightening beauty device I’ve tried. I’ve still shared Solawave as it’s not as effective but it does have red light therapy, microcurrent, therapeutic warmth and facial massage.
I’ve done a full review of it to let you decide for yourself whether it’s worth it or not for you but it did make my best beauty gadgets in both 2023 and 2024. It’s also easy to travel with as it’s so compact.
I try so many beauty tools so for me to be consistent for a year with something you know it’s good! Keep reading to find out more. I’ve only added beauty tools here that I’ve actually had time to give a chance and see if I’m sticking to using it. I update this every year as there are always so many new anti-aging beauty devices coming out that I want to be able to share the latest with you.

Best Beauty Tools 2025
My top beauty tools 2025 and why. I’ve try to condense my beauty gadgets as much as possible to save time and to make packing easier when I travel with them.
1. Best beauty gadgets 2025 for at home facials Foreo UFO
I met Foreo years ago at an influencer event at Nordstroms in Vegas. Which is how I ended up collaborating with them and having them as guests on the blog. Which meant I could get all of our questions answered and the best skincare advice right from the top beauty experts.
As far as the best beauty gadgets 2025, I’ve been hooked on my Foreo UFO since the 1st use versus the Foreo Luna cleansing device I kind of just stopped using. As I find the Beauty Eraser works well (more on that below) but the Foreo UFO is a beauty tool I’ve used for my face religiously once a week since getting it several years ago. I use it either with the H20 overdose mask or Call it a Night mask which work out to around $3.30 each.
Another benefit of Foreo masks is that they don’t leave a greasy residue. So you can just massage in the serum afterwards and continue with your normal skincare and makeup routine as it doesn’t pill under makeup.
As much as I love spa facials, it get’s expensive and takes 2+ hours (driving & treatment time). So I tend to only do them a couple of times a year and when I do it’s at a med spa and something I wouldn’t be able to do at home myself.
To use the Foreo UFO, you just choose the mask you’re using from the app on your phone and it guides you through the treatment.
There are so many things about the UFO I love. One is that it only take 90 seconds so it’s super quick and two that they don’t need washing off so they’re mess free.
I tend to repeat the treatment to max out the benefits as that still only takes 3 minutes. It’s super easy to clean, just wash it under warm water when you’re done and small enough to put away in your medicine cabinet.
Foreo UFO has replaced a lot of my other at home face masks as it takes home face masks to another level. This beauty tool offers heat, cryotherapy, light and vibrational therapy that’s specific for each mask so that you can the most out of them. Full interview with Foreo.
2. Best beauty tools 2025 for anti-aging ZIIP Halo
I use my ZIIP Halo 5-6 days a week as it’s touted as the 4 minute facelift. You can see my before and after photos to decide for yourself whether it works or not but right now it’s one of my favorite beauty face tools.
It’s one of those devices that becomes addictive because you can actually see the results. It was easy to work into my routine as it only takes 4 minutes which I either do it in the morning before I shower or at night in front of the TV. There are also longer treatments and shorter targeted treatments you can do by syncing your ZIIP with the app. This has been a game changer especially for my hooded eyes and crows feet.
This year I’ve definitely noticed a reduction in the deep lines around my eyes from using this consistently. If I could only recommend one must have beauty tool for anti-aging it’d be this beauty device.
ZIIP Halo is also great for traveling as it’s small and wireless.

3. Best Beauty Tools 2025 Dermaflash dermaplaning exfoliation device
Makeup artists always comment on how smooth my skin is and I put it all down to this miracle beauty tool as I don’t do peels. It’s the at home version of sonic dermaplaning, aestheticians will hate me for saying that. But honestly I get the same results doing it myself with this once every few months than I do from them and it saves me time and money.
Is dermaplaning basically shaving your face? Yes! But with the added benefit of exfoliating and getting rid of all of your dead skin along with the peach fuzz.
Go light handed with the Dermaflash. It’s an at home beauty gadget but it’s still a super sharp blade. I’ve definitely nicked myself a couple of times as you have to use a new blade each time. So it’s always super sharp but it’s so quick and easy.
The Dermaflash comes with the blades, a pre wash and post treatment cream so you don’t have to worry about buying anything else to use with it. Then you just order replacement blades as and when you need the.
4. Best Beauty Tools 2025 for cleansing | Beauty Eraser
Once you use this you’ll never use a flannel/face cloth again. It’s so much softer, more absorbent and effective at removing makeup. Which is why it’s my must have beauty tool that gets used everyday.
This is the most affordable beauty essential on this list at $20. It comes in black and pink. As much as I love the pink, I also love black winged eyeliner so the black version stains less for me.
5. NEWA skin tightening device
I’ve been using the NEWA device for a few months for spot treating my jawline and cheeks. So if you have a saggy neckline, tech neck or want to prevent that definitely check NEWA out. NEWA uses clinical-grade radio frequency technology to help the skin renew its production of collagen and elastin, two proteins responsible for firmness and elasticity. The benefits include:
- Visibly reduces wrinkles
- Boosts collagen production
- Improves skin firmness

LED face masks
I wanted to love my original LED face mask as I thought I’d wear it watching TV every night and it was one of the more affordable masks. However, the 1st one I got had a terrible battery life.
However, since then I’ve tried lots more including both versions of the CurrentBody LED mask and the Glotech mask. All of these have a much better battery life and are much more intensive. CurrentBody is the one you’ve seen on Emily in Paris. These I do use a few times a week sat in front of the TV and travel with as they’re foldable.
It’s a no brainer as it doesn’t add time to my morning or evening skincare routines and I feel like they’re much more effective than the 1st one I tried. If you can afford to get the LED neck collar too, I’d definitely recommend doing so, so that you can treat that area too.
The beauty tools I don’t use that are gathering dust
Now I’ve shared my best beauty gadgets 2025, I wanted to share the misses with you. When buying new beauty tools and gadgets for my face I try to think of how I’ll fit them into my everyday routine. As no one as time to keep adding more things to their skincare routine.
Jade and rose quartz facial rollers
I’d heard so many good things about Jade and Rose quartz facial rollers. Since they’re so affordable and shelfie pretty that I thought I’d give them a go. I put it on the table next to where I sit in the living room so I could use it watching TV. It doesn’t need charging just wiping down afterwards but do I use it? Rarely.
In the Summer I’m slightly better about using it as it’s cooling but in the Winter I skip it. I also like to see instant results from beauty tools and really didn’t find any benefits to this. Except for massaging my jaw if I’ve been grinding or clenching my teeth during the day.
Shop facial rollers
For $20-30 it’s worth giving facial rollers a go, especially if you’re into crystals. Lots of people love them, they’re just not for me.
Vibrating facial massager
This sounded good and I love a massage, so thought this could be another beauty face tool I could use at night watching TV. I don’t know how many beauty tools I thought I needed or could fit into an evening by the television but it was definitely too many. But being a cruelty-free beauty blogger I’ll pretty much try anything.
This does feel good and is supposed to be anti-aging by stimulating the muscles. However, it’s too noisy to use watching TV and looks a little dodgy sitting on your coffee table. The version I have works with contact with the skin but needs pressing pretty hard and sometimes won’t turn on.
It is an efficient Wrinkle Reducer, Spot Corrector, Collagen Booster & Face tightening tool that is ideal for all skin types
