The best new high-tech beauty gadgets of 2020

A revolution in beauty gadgets is underway: a new generation of intelligent technologies promises timeless skin and a flawless face. Forget lotions and potions, 2020 beauty is all about smart face masks, DNA-engineered skincare, and 3D printable makeup.

Personalization is key – we want products that are tailored, time-saving and responsive. But where do you start to navigate this new high-tech world? We've selected the next generation of equipment to help you improve your game – without the pain or needles.

Foreo

Swedish cosmetics brand FOREO has been creating ergonomic, technology-focused products since 2013. Hot on the heels of its groundbreaking Luna 2 cleansing and anti-aging device, the brand has just launched the Luna 3. The latest addition features softer, longer bristles and stronger sonic pulsations than its predecessor for even better results.

Promising to clear your pores of 99.5% of dirt, oil and makeup residue, the device delivers 8,000 T-Sonic pulsations per minute via its silicone contact points to deeply cleanse your skin and leave it glowing to give appearance.

PMD

The PMD Personal Microderm Pro offers the same results as a professional, clinic-based microdermabrasion treatment and is designed for weekly at-home treatments. The device combines rotating disc technology with vacuum suction to reduce fine lines and wrinkles and achieve fresh skin.

Dr. Dennis Gross

You've probably seen this futuristic mask all over Instagram. Based on the in-office lasers from Dr. Dennis Gross uses light technology to reduce wrinkles and acne. To stimulate collagen production, the mask activates 100 lights in red mode that penetrate the skin's dermis, while its 62 blue lights target acne bacteria and future breakouts.

mink

Set to officially launch later this year, Mink is the world's first 3D makeup printer. It's designed to transform images – from social media, a scan or your camera roll – into wearable makeup. The process is simple: download an app, import your image, then insert a makeup sheet into the printer to create the colors for your desired look.

Tripollar

Tripollar's “Stop” facial device uses radio frequency to activate the thickest layer of skin and stimulate collagen production. The device promises to tighten the skin and significantly reduce wrinkles within 8 weeks. At a time when regular clinic treatments are not readily available, this sleek device offers a more than adequate replacement.
