We all love beauty gadgets, and a few smart tools here and there can really enhance a self-care regimen. The problem is that there are so many options, and some more effective than others, making it hard to know which tools are worth the investment. So, to save you the hassle of combing through reviews and finding the luxury tools that really work, we've done that for you, and all of them are available on Amazon. From ice rollers to dermaplaning tools, we've researched the best gadgets out there to help you become your very best self. Whether you're looking for yourself or looking for an affordable beauty gift for someone else, these are sure to deliver. 

We've done deep dives on several of these tools here at Women. For instance, there's Face Icing 101, explaining how to reap the benefits. We've also explored IPL vs. laser hair removal because we wanted to know what the differences were. And we're equally invested in the practice of dry brushing, and how to keep those dry brushes clean. So rest assured, all of these gadgets come with their own, thorough research. 

An ice roller reduces puffiness and increases circulation

Ice has a long history in beauty routines. The cold temperature reduces puffiness (particularly helpful in the mornings) by constricting the blood vessels, and ice helps improve circulation, as well as skin tone and texture. The massaging effects of an ice roller promote lymphatic drainage and reduce fluid retention. Ice rollers also help with under eye puffiness, giving you a more alert look. Feeling congested? An ice roller can help with sinus infections and inflammation. While some opt for using ice cubes on the face, or soaking one's face in a bowl of ice water, an ice roller removes the hassle by facilitating an icy experience sans melting water.

The Teenitor Ice Roller on Amazon offers cold therapy in an easy format. Store it in the freezer and roll each morning after you wash your face, before applying serums and moisturizers. Roll down towards your chin for the best de-puffing results. Over 6,000 customers reviewed this ice roller, giving it a 4.6 out of 5 stars. "I use mine for headache & sinus pain relief, fevers, to depuff my skin and look my best before getting ready," someone commented.  "This is a must every morning for me! It really wakes me up and makes my face feel really fresh," one reviewer wrote. "The puffiness is a lot less noticeable, and my skin feels tingly and refreshed," another added. The affordable gadget also comes with a detachable roller head, making it easy to clean.

Dry brushing exfoliates the skin and improves circulation

A dry body brush is the often-forgotten hero of body care. Dry brushes exfoliate the skin, leaving it softer and more supple. The dry, bristle brush also helps with lymphatic drainage and increases circulation, ultimately improving skin tone. It works best when done daily before showering. Start at the ankles and brush upwards in long strokes and work in a circular motion on the torso and back. It's important to note that if you have very dry or sensitive skin, dry brushing can sometimes feel too abrasive — and is too abrasive for the face — so proceed with caution. Also, do not brush over cuts or wounds, as this will irritate the area.

The CSM Dry Body Brush earned 4.4 stars on Amazon, with over 30,000 customers chiming in at the time of writing. One user claimed that it helped reduce the appearance of cellulite, adding, "I've noticed an improvement in skin firmness and a feeling of smoothness after using it regularly." Another touted the improved texture of their skin, saying, "It's gentle but still very effective at exfoliating and improving circulation. My skin feels noticeably smoother and looks healthier." A third reviewer liked the design and effect, sharing, "The texture of the bristles is perfect for providing an effective and relaxing massage, stimulating circulation and helping to improve the appearance of the skin. It's also very comfortable to use, and the ergonomic design makes it easy to grip." This affordable little tool is a win.

Heatless curling rods are a game changer

If you follow any of the beauty trends on TikTok, you'll have come across the heatless roller. But the truth is, this simple, little tool can completely transform your hair the next day without any time spent navigating hot hair tools. Better yet, it gives hair a break from thermal damage, but the curls last all day. People have all sorts of different methods for using heatless rollers. Some start with wet hair, while others suggest hair that's mostly dry so that there's no dampness in the morning. One stylist suggested starting with dry hair, but spritzing a little water to allow the hair to reset to the shape of the rollers. Divide hair into two sections and twist hair around each section, secure with scrunchies, and go to bed. 

The Corated Heatless Curling Rod on Amazon is a great choice, with over 18,000 reviews. "I'm so tired of waking up everyday and taking 30-ish minutes to curl my hair. On top of that, the heat damage to my hair is really starting to show. I started using this about a year ago ... and honestly, it works really well!" one reviewer wrote, giving it 5 stars. Many reviewers suggested using additional hair products, like a styling wax when wrapping the hair, and finishing it with hairspray the next morning. It's also worth noting that some mentioned the rod could be uncomfortable to sleep in, so this is might be less ideal for side-sleepers.  

Dermaplaning improves skin texture and helps products work better

Dermaplaning is a popular practice where a sterile blade is used to shave and gently exfoliate the face. Not only does the procedure remove fine facial hair; it also removes dead and dry skin. It preps the skin beautifully for makeup, so it's great for a glam day since there's no peach fuzz or dead skin on the surface. Before using, make sure that skin is clean and completely dry. Using one hand to hold the skin taught, gently sweep the blade in small motions across the skin starting at the cheeks and working your way down to the jaw. Avoid the nose and eye areas. However, if you have active acne, sunburnt skin, or any other irritation, avoid dermaplaning altogether. 

The Jenny Patinkin Dermaplaning Tool on Amazon is a popular choice. It comes in a set of three, and is as gentle as it is effective. "No more peach fuzz. Felt gentle and a good exfoliation. Great value and environmentally friendly," a reviewer noted. "This little tool works nicely to take care of [light facial hair] without breaking the bank. I did a bit of research before deciding to purchase these and am glad I did," another commented. "[These] work great for getting those little hairs off your face and making lotion and makeup go on smoother and better," a third noted. Sounds like a home run. 

The IPL hair remover really works

For a bit more of a splurge, an Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) device is a hair removal tool that has real results. The at-home treatment uses flashes of broad-spectrum light to minimize hair growth by targeting and destroying hair follicles. Board certified dermatologist Dr. Sam Ellis reviewed the most popular beauty gadgets on her YouTube channel, guiding consumers as to which devices really worked and which didn't. The IPL hair remover earned her approval, but she did note that these devices work best on dark hair, so if you're looking to zap blonde, red or grey hair, they won't be as effective. 

She recommended the Braun IPL at Home Laser Hair Removal device for the best results, noting that most people do stacked treatments at first, then follow up with maintenance treatments every six months or so. While it's a little bit more expensive than most beauty gadgets on Amazon, the IPL hair remover earned rave reviews from over 6,000 customers. "I wish I'd bought this sooner," one customer noted, reporting dramatic hair reduction. "I was a bit skeptical at first, but this device really delivers. After consistent use for about a month, I've noticed a significant reduction in hair growth and much smoother skin," another noted. "I can see evidently that its working well and reduced my hair growth in the applied areas," a third chimed in. So for hair removal, this device works like a charm.
