As self-professed beauty lovers here at beautyheaven, we’re the first to get excited by innovations within the industry. Especially when said innovations allow us to invest time in our other favourite hobby: bed rotting at home.
If you derive an unrivalled pleasure from wearing a face mask made of spicy Christmas lights that improves the appearance of your skin, while you binge watch Gilmore Girls for the umpteenth time — then keep scrolling — we’ve whittled down the most innovative at-home beauty products you can shop in Australia right now.
Are at-home beauty devices worth it?
At-home beauty devices are a great way to supplement and maintain the results of your in-clinic, salon or spa treatments. They’re also, for the most part, a lot more affordable in the long run than seeking similar professional treatments. For example, you could spend $45 every month for the rest of your life on in-clinic LED light therapy treatments, or you could invest in a piece of luxury beauty tech like Therabody’s Theragun TheraFace Mask ($899 from Adore Beauty) that you can use everyday for the rest of your life. It’s actually very simple girl math.
What home device is best for wrinkles?
LED face masks, skin care wands, and microcurrent devices — like Foreo’s Bear 2 ($659 from Adore Beauty) — are all fantastic for minimising the appearance of wrinkles and firming skin with consistent use. Microcurrent stimulates the facial muscles to tone and tighten, while LED light therapy stimulates collagen production, and skin care wands like the Medicube Age-R Booster Pro ($309.90 from Beauty Amora) improve skin elasticity and the absorption of anti-ageing skin care products.

Embryolisse Artist Secret Lash Booster Serum
from $50 at Priceline
Most lash serums add an exhaustive extra step into our beauty routines, but this one is a little bit different. Designed to work as a lash serum and as a mascara primer, you can stash this in your makeup bag, and easily integrate it into your full face. The fact that it conditions, nourishes and enhances the appearance of lashes is great, but we love that it improves the performance of any mascara you layer on top of it more.
Review: “The lightweight, non-greasy formula can be used as both a treatment at night or as a primer under mascara, helping lashes appear longer, fuller, and more defined. [I] love how it not only boosts the health of lashes, but also improves the performance of mascara, resulting in a more dramatic, voluminous look. Ideal for those looking to nurture their lashes while achieving a more luscious appearance, Embryolisse Artist Secret Lash Booster is a must-have for lash care and enhancement.” — Jemma128

What’s the most innovative at-home beauty product you’ve ever tried?
I haven’t tried any high-tech beauty or skincare products
Perhaps if I was much younger I would be more interested in all these products. Perhaps a young mother would find it difficult to find the time to use all these products.
