The beauty industry is benefiting hugely from advances in science and technology right now – and the benefits reach way beyond the latest cushion compact. We used to rely exclusively on lotions and potions to deliver results, but now there’s a host of high-tech options to really transform your beauty regimen – and we can’t get enough of them. Below, the next-gen gadgets that in-the-know beauty girls are adding to cart before anyone else does.

#1 / Dyson Supersonic hair dryer

Game-changing doesn’t quite cover it: when Dyson launched their first ever hair product, they were breaking boundaries in more ways than one. Four years of testing on different hair types (and over 1010 miles of real hair!) has resulted in a hair dryer with intelligent heat control and the ability to dry, smooth and style your strands simultaneously. Thanks to its thermistor guards and patented Air Multiplier technology, the Dyson Supersonic hair dryer helps to protect your hair’s natural shine while drying fast.

#2 / Foreo Iris Massager

Ask any woman over the age of 25 for their number one skincare concern and the answer, almost invariably, will be under-eye dark circles and fine lines. Anything that helps us play the anti-ageing game is granted immediate access to our beauty cabinets: this nifty silicon gadget gently massages around the eyes to help your serums sink in and reduce puffiness, dark circles and wrinkles to boot. The device has two massage modes and is designed to hug the delicate eye contour area.

#3 / Stylepro brush cleaner

If you don’t wash your make-up brushes as often as you’re supposed to (that’s weekly, for the record, and we’re all guilty as charged), this has your name on it. Simply add soap or brush cleaner and water and watch as the spinning function rapidly cleans your brush kit and speeds up drying time. Consider it your new Sunday afternoon ritual.
