As the end of the year slowly approaches I've been really into researching skincare tools and gadgets lately. I have seen so many skincare junkies raves about certain devices but then I watched actual practicing skin specialist weight in on certain products as lackluster. Some of these raved about devices aren't anything to tell your friends about because science isn't backed fully or FDA approved ("Cleared" just means it won't explode) and the clinical trials are misleading overused to get consumers jumping on the bandwagon these days. Also, a lot of these devices on the market aren't as strong as the ones at a local skin care clinic or dermatologist office. And here I'm to give the best options for your at-home treatments during this pandemic. I hope this helps clean out rethink the products you have bought and it's also thanks to Dr. Dray who I have really admired her opinions and researched backed thoughts on a lot of these devices.
Also, an FYI PSA - Microneedling should be done by a professional to get the best results.
And Nuface microcurrent device doesn't tone the skin which is an organ, it tones the muscle under the skin so fat loss is more of a possibility.[1] Just think of when you are working out and weight lifting, fat is usually lost and muscle is built. However, you would need an injury to living tissue to get collagen proliferation so this device just screams overhyped marketing. I would recommend just taking Collange peptide supplements and getting professional micro-needling instead.
Make sure to always moisturize and apply sunscreen.

If you are looking for a luxury skincare investment then Jade/ Jadeite can actually get really expensive depending on the cut. Most look milky-green to opaque emerald green in appearance but not the only color variant of the stone. Jade has a high boiling (heat) point before burning. A lot of brands photoshop the stones which makes the product look more sus but you can always try the Rose quartz set instead.
