The FOREO Bear Microcurrent Facial Device is a great at-home treatment for those who are looking for a non-invasive way to sculpt and contour the face. Known for being one of Molly-Mae Hague's favourite skin tools, this device is a must-have if you want to tone the skin and minimise the appearance of fine lines.

The routines are quick and easy to follow and I've graduated to a higher intensity recently after initially using it on the lowest. The main take away is that I have to be consistent to get the desired results and to be realistic with my expectations."

Do beauty gadgets really work, or are they just a gimmick?

When used properly, beauty gadgets can deliver impressive results. Many of the latest gadgets on the market incorporate cutting-edge technologies such as LED lights, microcurrents, or sonic vibrations to improve skincare or haircare routines. However, the trick is to opt for reputable brands and products that have been well-reviewed and tested by users or professionals.

Are beauty gadgets suitable for all skin types?

Beauty gadgets come in a variety of forms, and their suitability for different skin types can vary. Before using any beauty gadget, it's crucial to read the product description and instructions to ensure it is right for your specific skin type or concern. If you have sensitive skin or any underlying skin conditions, consulting with a dermatologist is advisable before incorporating a new gadget into your routine.

How often should I use beauty gadgets to see results?

The frequency of use for beauty gadgets can depend on the specific gadget and its purpose. Some gadgets, like facial cleansing brushes, can be used daily as part of your skincare routine. However, more intense treatments like microdermabrasion devices or LED masks may require less frequent usage, typically one to three times a week. It's essential to follow the manufacturer's recommendations and gradually introduce the gadget into your routine to avoid overuse or potential skin irritation.
