Gadgets & Gizmos Aplenty Rev up your beauty routine with these high-tech machines, great as gifts – for someone else, or yourself

Sheet masks are a great way to kick back and relax, but sometimes you need the effects, stat – enter Foreo’s UFO, an electronic masking device that uses temperature, LED light and sonic vibrations to infuse the skin with potent ingredients in just 90 seconds. Choose from a number of functions, from hydrating H2O Overdose to collagen-infused Youth Junkie.

Lane Crawford tip: Because it’s so quick to use, morning or mid-day masking is definitely an option. Try Glow Addict before a big event.

You’ve probably seen an ad for it already, but if you haven’t, get on Youtube now. The Dyson Airwrap is a revolutionary way to create curls, and it does it in simply the coolest way possible. Dyson’s Supersonic Hair Dryer was already mindblowing, but this is next level.

Lane Crawford tip: For picture-perfect curls, switch between the clockwise and anti-clockwise barrels when doing opposite sides of the head (and switch hands, too!). For a beachy, natural look, switch directions with every lock of hair and vary the size of your locks.

For the dedicated home beautician, Nuface is second to none when it comes to combating wrinkles and improving facial contour and tone via microcurrent technology. The Gold Trinity Complete Skin Toning Collection includes the Trinity facial trainer as well as Prep-N-Glow cloths and the essential 24K Gold Gel Primer Firm.

Lane Crawford tip: The primer is not optional. Using the device without a conductive gel means it won’t reach the deepest layers of the dermis, and a telltale sign is if you feel a slight prickling on your skin – that means the microcurrent isn’t penetrating, it’s just shocking you.

What’s so special about this regular hair dryer? Everything. Using a professional-strength motor and advanced ionic technology, the ghd air can dry your hair in half the time of a typical dryer, while reducing dreaded frizzies. This special Christmas edition is clothed in glacial blue for a look that’s truly cool.

Lane Crawford tip: Speed up your drying process even more by blowing air haphazardly at will until your hair is 80 percent dry, then use the concentrator nozzle and a round brush to finish off the process for sleek locks in no time.
