Is anyone interested in a discussion about at-home skincare devices? After almost seven years of exclusively using my own experimental formulations and then registered Hyangii cosmetics, I'm ready to explore non-invasive additions I am neither an aesthetician nor a dermatologist, but I do like DIY options for everything (including haircutting and dog grooming) since I do not like to leave my house unless absolutely necessary!
One of you asked me about this device years ago. I knew nothing about it at the time, but I have since seen it pop-up here and there. I have been testing this high-frequency device (use the orange coloured wands) with M1 (oil-free, antioxidant mist) since it's best used with oil-free products.
This device is often used with aloe gel or ultrasound gel, but I do not like the the extra step it requires to wash it off:
Oil cleanse and wash face.
Apply aloe or ultrasound gel and use the wand.
Wash off gel.
Follow with M1, M2, M3
Using M1 is easier and faster:
Oil cleanse and wash face.
Apply M1 and use wand.
Follow with M2, M3.
This device is not magical for "anti-aging" but it's really effective for acne that pops up once in a while. It also doesn’t seem to exacerbate spots on my pigmentation-prone skin when used once a week. Maybe I’ll try to increase it’s use to twice a week.
NOT TO BE USE WITH ACIDS or RETINOIDS.
* Did you know that aloe gel is made with aloe juice (which is the consistency of water) that is thickened with a gelling agent? The gelling agent is not necessarily beneficial for the skin, it just gives a aloe jelly type texture.
Are there any devices that you like to use?
