Zapping your face muscles to get rid of wrinkles is a bit like ironing your vest because your blouse is creased
With salons shut and consumers forced to spend all week staring involuntarily at their own Zoom faces, DIY facial gadgets have reversed their sales decline and seen remarkable triple-digit growth during the past 12 months. Pricey “microcurrent” devices such as NuFace Trinity (from £167), Foreo Bear (from £179) and DermaWand (£99) use very low levels of electrical current (typically much weaker than in equivalent salon devices) to “re-educate muscles” to tone up, resulting in a firmer, more youthful-looking face. None is at all difficult to use, but they’re something of a faff, depending on your commitment levels. The round Foreo Bear is awkward to hold and, as with all microcurrent devices, the face must be oil-free before treatment (not that comfortable for many of us). Then one applies a hyaluronic gel (plumping in itself) and moves through a number of simple positions detailed in the instructions and tutorial videos. This feels relatively quick, but when and if we get back to rushing to work via the school gates, it may feel a task too many.
