Pretty Good Looking
Beauty Gadget Guide
H2-Oh, Really
Spray it; don’t say it with Charme. Sunburned, post-peel, or picked to death, damaged skin gets the boost it needs from the low-pH, freshly ionized water delivered in a calming, soothing spritz by the portable device (The Nile Institute, 9053 Nemo Street, West Hollywood; 310-275-6453).
Scrub-a-Dub
Exfoliation’s not The Itchy & Scratchy Show. Using subtle vibrations to massage the skin, the Wave has single-use pads preloaded with lathering cleanser, so you can buff dead skin cells away without ripping off your face.
Om Run
Namaste? That pulsating rage vein begs to differ. Biofeedback meditation machine StressEraser monitors your breathing and compares it against the quintessential relaxed inhale/exhale pattern. Harmonize the two and see the difference between Zen and now.
Bright Idea
Foam strips, mouth trays, and a bright light might sound like the beginnings of a frat prank, but no, it’s the iWhite. In five days, the teeth bleaching system from Belgium blasts dingy chompers into pearly white territory.
Light Years
Twenty minutes twice a week brings the LED therapy benefits of the Marvel-Mini. Red staves off aging by increasing circulation, collagen, and elastin production. Blue battles acne on an antibacterial and oxygenating wavelength. Let your little light shine.
