High-Tech Beauty

Innovative new products deliver the kind of results that only doctors and skincare salons could offer before

A slew of innovative gizmos and gadgets are bringing to you the technology once only found in your dermatologist's office. In the privacy of your home, and for a fraction of the cost of an appointment with a skincare specialist, you can polish, zap and airbrush your skin to its most glowing, youthful perfection.

Here's a look at this brave new—and convenient—world of skincare technology.

Beyond Cleanser: Sonic Clean
Surface dirt is easy to remove with your regular method of cleansing, but debris and oil may remain trapped in pores and fine lines, leaving skin looking dull. The Clarisonic Skincare System uses sonic frequency to deliver more than 300 micromassages to your skin per second. In just 60 seconds, six times more makeup is removed than with manual cleansing, skin tone is improved, and dry patches and oily areas are reduced along with the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and pores. All with a feel-good buzz that is far gentler and more relaxing than exfoliating scrubs or chemicals.

60 Seconds to Younger Looking Eyes
The Clarisonic Opal Sonic Infusion System with Anti-Aging Serum uses sonic technology to infuse the area around the eyes with a specially created anti-aging serum made from marine extracts and botanicals. In just one minute, 7,500 micromassages infuse the serum into the outer layers of the epidermis far more effectively than dabbing on an eye cream. With the delicate eye area one of the first to show signs of aging, this is a welcome tool in targeting fine lines, puffiness and dark circles.

Salon Tanning at Home
An airbrushed tan gives you that luscious sun-kissed glow without the damage of UV exposure. Now, with Luminess Tan Complete Personal Airbrush Tanning System, you can get the flawless results of your favorite salon tan at home. This kit includes a compressor with airbrush stylus, 12-inch hose, two bottles of an innovative tanning solution, instructional DVD and travel case. That's everything you need for 30 spot-tans or 10 full-body tans that are streak-free, odorless and without orange discoloration. (System refills available.) Bring on the bikini!
