The Best Hair Dryers For A DIY Blow Dry

Want to look like you just stepped out of the hairdresser, without actually going to the hairdresser? The best hair dryers make getting that perfect coif so simple you’ll never need to splash cash on a professional blow dry again. With features such as ceramic and keratin-infused technology or intelligent heat control, many modern hair dryers actually protect and smooth your hair while drying.

For added finesse, finish off your ’do with the help of a hair straightener or curler – look for keratin or ceramic plates to reduce frizz and damage.

“You don’t need to go to the hairdresser to have your hair blow dried or styled – the range and quality of hair dryers, straighteners and curlers available makes it easy to achieve the look you’re after without leaving home,” says Tracey Ellis, The Good Guys Buyer – Portable Appliances.

Facial Treatments For Glowing Skin

Hands up if you’re partial to a facial or skin treatment? Yep, us too. Not only is it super relaxing, but a good skincare regimen will help cleanse, exfoliate and rebalance the skin to keep it looking youthful and healthy. For an effective facial at home, these are you go-tos:

  • The Beurer Facial Sauna & Intensive Inhaler opens pores, allowing toxins to be released and enabling a deep cleanse to properly remove skin debris and dead cells. The result? A more glowing complexion.
  • Looking for a more intensive skin treatment? Then microdermabrasion is for you. The Homedics Radiance Micro Dermabrasion device lifts dead layers of skin, deeply exfoliating to improve skin tone and texture and reducing the appearance of fine lines, age spots and sun damage.

Tips For Hair Removal At Home

If just the thought of hair removal is enough to bring tears to your eyes, you’re not alone. Whether you’re removing hair from your face, legs or bikini line, a visit to a salon can be time consuming, and costly. The solution? Simply do it yourself at home (and save money!) with the latest professional-quality hair removal tech.

Kitting out your bathroom with the latest electric shavers, epilators and IPL machines means you can take hair removal into your own hands (and the privacy of home). Before you start any hair removal at home, consider the body area you’re targeting and your preferred method of removal. We’ve got you covered:

Appliances To Help You Relax

One of the best things about visiting a beauty salon is the relaxing atmosphere – the scent of lavender, ethereal music filling the air, and the added bonus of a massage chair. Transform your living room into a zen den with a selection of foot spas, massagers and your favourite essential oils in a diffuser to help you unwind and recharge.

“Soaking your feet in a foot spa is the first important step in a home pedicure regimen, as it softens the skin. With a few drops of essential oil added, it also helps you switch off and de-stress after a tough day. It will reinvigorate you and help you feel ready to face the world again,” says Tracey Ellis, The Good Guys Buyer – Portable Appliances.
