3 micro-current skincare tools that contour your face

Actress Mandy Moore, 33, has recently spoken out about the effectiveness of microcurrent facials and the at-home alternatives, re-sparking our interest in the technology.

The technology isn't new, but a professional treatment is very expensive, which is why more affordable handheld tools are spiking in popularity right now.

Low-level electrical current is used in these at-home devices to trigger the body's natural skin enhancement chemicals. It flows through the skin and facial muscle, lifting, toning and sculpting as it goes.

With subsequent use, you can expect improved muscle tone in the face and neck, lifted brows, reduction of fine lines, and the treatment is also believed to improve facial circulation and lymphatic drainage.

Sounds too good to be true right? If nothing else, the small energetic vibrations are a great way to relax your complexion.

"I have had a few microcurrent facials, and I use a Ziip thing at home," Moore told HelloGiggles.

"It works in conjunction with my phone, I have an app for it. It's supposed to tighten and tone your skin. I don't know if it necessarily works, but it's like a facial massage. It's four minutes of my life, you have to wear a sheet mask longer than that."

Moore's radiant complexion of late is telling us it works.

Here, some at-home microcurrent tools that are well worth the investment.
