If you want to supercharge your skincare routine, working with your hands may simply not be enough. The use of beauty tools and devices have boomed in popularity thanks in part to Covid-19, where multiple lockdowns have forced many to attempt to replicate facial and aesthetic treatments in the sanctuary of their homes, with surprisingly effective results. Just a few caveats: Proceed with caution on sensitive complexions, avoid using the devices on broken or inflamed skin, and follow any instructions closely. Given the convenience, efficacy and relative affordability of the latest high-tech beauty tools, there's no better time than now to get in gear.
ULTRA CLEAN
All beauty routines start with clean skin-it doesn't matter if you're using the most expensive and efficacious products if you're putting them on skin that hasn't been cleansed properly. LG's Pra.L Ultrasonic Cleanser, $299, uses micro-vibrations to remove impurities while its soft silicon brush creates fine bubbles that further enhances cleansing. FOREO's Luna 4, $466, not only delivers thorough and deep cleansing with its patented T-sonic pulsations, but also offers five types of massage modes-Lymphatic Drainage Massage, Deep Tissue Massage, Trigger Point Massage, Shiatsu Massage, Reflexology Massage-to improve lymphatic drainage, muscle tension and signs of fatigue.

HOROSCOPE
TAURUS (21 APR - 21 MAY) Happy birthday, Taurus! This May, your life takes the form of a mandala an intricate shape made from coloured sand that is destroyed after its creation. This doesn't mean that you'll lose everything. In fact, the whole month has the potential to be highly abundant, especially around the 19th, when Venus transits through your sign. Be brave and let go of attachments.
