The Top Beauty Tools of 2026

      We believe that beauty tools represent some of the finest investments you can make. Whether you're in pursuit of a radiant all-over glow, an exceptionally close shave, or healthier and smoother hair, there is a device available for each need. Our twelve selections provide the tangible results you've been searching for.

      **Best LED Device: Shark CryoGlow LED Face Mask**

      Drawing inspiration from medical-grade spa technologies, this mask merges iQLED technology (including red, blue, and deep infrared light) with cryotherapy to diminish the visibility of inflamed acne and fine lines. With three distinct cooling levels, it firms the under-eye area and reduces redness in record time.

      Why experts appreciate it: "LED therapy is backed by solid evidence for enhancing collagen production and lessening inflammation, yet many at-home devices are either inadequate or uncomfortable for regular use. This one has therapeutic wavelengths at significant intensity, fits comfortably for the suggested duration, and is designed for ongoing use rather than being abandoned after a couple of attempts. For anyone looking for professional-grade LED treatment at home, this is the solution." — Sophie Carbonari, Celebrity Aesthetician

      "I utilize this frequently on my clients. The combination of cryotherapy and LED in a single tool saves time and thus is a perfect addition to one's routine. Also, it makes a fantastic gift!" — Bridget Brager, Celebrity Hairstylist

      "I love a multifunctional device, and this one is exceptionally well-designed. Its light-blocking feature allows you to keep your eyes open and move around comfortably while using it, making it far more practical for everyday application. Additionally, it includes multiple LED light settings tailored to address various skin concerns—like breakouts, inflammation, and signs of aging—offering a customizable experience based on your skin's needs. The cooling technology stands out as it helps reduce puffiness, soothes the skin, and makes the treatment feel refreshing and comforting overall." — Candace Marino, Founder of The L.A. Facialist

      **Best Hair Dryer: GHD Speed Hair Dryer**

      GHD's robust dryer truly lives up to its name. This "faster than the speed of light" dryer employs the brand's Halo Dual-Airflow Technology to enhance drying speed without causing heat damage. A cool air layer surrounds the heated airflow, allowing you to reach your roots while safeguarding your scalp. It provides a gentle yet highly effective drying method for your hair.

      **Best Multi-Styler: Dyson Airwrap Co-anda2x**

      This revamped version of Dyson's beloved Airwrap Styler surpasses the original, if that's even possible. It boasts a more robust airflow for improved curling and tighter barrel wrapping for better definition—an upgrade we didn’t realize we needed until it arrived. The attachments are impressively high-tech, adjusting automatically to the optimal heat and airflow settings based on your specific hair type.

      **Best At-Home Laser: Lyma Laser Pro Starter Kit**

      Don't miss our detailed review of the Lyma Laser Pro, which encapsulates why we are enamored with this device. Though it requires a significant financial commitment, it’s a worthy investment. The Lyma Laser Pro is the only at-home laser (besides the original laser) that uses cold laser technology to reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, sagging skin, and dark spots. It's the more effective successor to the original Lyma Laser, covering a wider area and providing results more rapidly.

      Why experts approve: "This is not a casual purchase. It's a significant investment. However, low-level laser therapy has extensive clinical backing for skin rejuvenation, and this is the first at-home device that delivers the necessary power output and wavelength to create actual cellular change rather than just surface effects. I'm often skeptical about most at-home devices due to their underwhelming power. This one is definitely not that. If you’re serious about non-invasive collagen stimulation and are willing to consistently use it, this is the device to invest in." — Carbonari

      "I am typically very selective about at-home devices, especially as many tend to overpromise and underdeliver. This device stands out as genuinely sophisticated and clinically-focused. Its emphasis is on true skin quality rather than fleeting results. With regular use, I have noticed enhancements in areas like texture, inflammation, overall tone, and skin resilience, all while encouraging long-term collagen production and healthier aging overall. It’s completely non-invasive and painless, making it much simpler for users to remain consistent compared to more aggressive options." — Marino

      **Best Flat Iron: T3 Curling Straightener**

      T3 is cherished by celebrity hairstylists and beauty editors, and this diverse styling iron does it all—curls, straightens, and creates effortlessly chic waves in no time. While it's a worthwhile investment, it effectively consolidates several tools into one, saving you money in the long run.

      Why experts value it: "I adore the versatility of this tool; it genuinely serves as
