EDUCATION AT CAMERA READY

A good skincare routine can be taken to the next level with the help of some handy skincare tools, but it can be hard to pick the right one for your routine! In this blog, we will share our best skincare tool recommendations to address the following skincare needs: The best skincare tools for exfoliation and deep cleansing The best skincare tools for anti-aging and toning the skin The best skincare tools to soothe stressed-out skin The best skincare tools massage the skin and increase product absorption The Best Skincare Tools for Exfoliation & Deep Cleansing We firmly believe some of the best tools are our hands and fingertips when it comes to applying skincare and makeup, but when it comes to cleansing and exfoliating, tools just do it better. The Conture AeroCleanse Facial Cleansing Device constantly sells out for us because it offers a gentle yet effective cleanse by utilizing sonic & airflow technology to safely and effectively cleanse. The sonic vibrations remove dirt, excess oil, and makeup from pores, while airflow technology increases the suds of your favorite cleanser to more effectively carry away impurities. This prevents over-stripping your skin. Exfoliation is also a key step to revealing healthy glowing skin, but the key is to be gentle. Over-exfoliation can disrupt the skin's barrier, so choose a tool that gently removes debris and dead skin. Our top picks are the Conture Kinetic Smooth Hair Remover & Skin Polisher and the Esker Beauty Body Plane. The Conture Kinetic Smooth Hair Remover & Skin Polisher can be used on the face and body to remove unwanted hair with its precision rotary blades and has an interchangeable polishing head that gently buffs to reveal a glowing complexion. If you’re seeking the perfect tool to exfoliate your body, the Esker Beauty Body Plane smooths skin and removes dirt and residue without damaging or irritating the skin’s moisture barrier. It has a dull "blade" that glides over wet or oiled skin that gently sloughs away impurities and dead skin while also acting as a gua sha massage for your body. It's a great alternative to a body scrub, especially if you have sensitive skin! After dampening your skin, apply your favorite oil and glide the body plane along your arms and legs in upward motions. You’ll notice the immediate exfoliation of debris and dead skin, resulting in visibly softer skin. To learn more about the body plane and how to use it, be sure to check out our blog dedicated to this unique tool! The Best Skincare Tools for Anti-Aging and Toning If your number one skincare goal is anti-aging, skin toning is a must. The Conture Kinetic Skin Toning System is a celebrity favorite for more youthful skin, as it has isometric compression and low-frequency vibrations to stimulate and tone skin. This technology replicates what was once only available at med-spas and skin clinics, but now, you can effectively fight dullness, puffiness, and signs of aging from the comfort of your own home. While it may sound silly, the basic idea behind this tool is that it provides a gentle suction to the surface of the skin before gently releasing it back to its natural position. This simple yet effective repetitive motion increases circulation, helps drain extra fluids, and smoothes the skin. When it comes to toning the skin, celebrity makeup artists and estheticians often reach for FDA-approved NuFACE tools for effective toning and lifting of the face and body. These handy devices use microcurrents to tone the skin (just like toning your muscles when you go to the gym), and while the results are cumulative, some see immediate results - especially in the lip line and eyelid area! Be sure to check out all of the great NuFACE routines and NuFACE devices we offer including the NuFACE Trinity PRO.  The Best Skincare Tools to Soothe Stressed Out Skin & Increase Circulation Facial rollers are one of the most well-recognized skincare tools today. An ancient beauty practice dating back thousands of years, facial rollers provide energetic healing while improving the complexion’s appearance. The Esker Beauty Allover Roller extends beyond the tradition of facial rolling and is designed specifically for use all over the body. Measuring 7 inches across, the extra-large roller is textured with soft spikes to increase stimulation, break up fascia, and help better absorb any treatment oil or product. The Allover Roller aids in lymphatic drainage, which helps to detoxify, and provides tension relief throughout the entire body. If you’re looking for a more traditional yet highly effective facial roller, the Jenny Patinkin Rose on Rose Face Roller utilizes rose quartz for its healing properties. Rose quartz is believed to emit energetic vibrations of love and beauty, which is said to improve self-esteem as well as feelings of self-worth, forgiveness, and compassion. Like other rollers, the Rose on Rose Face Roller aids with lymphatic drainage, reduces inflammation, boosts circulation, and temporarily firms the skin. If you want to start your day with added radiance and glow, the Rose on Rose Face Roller is our top choice. If you want the facial roller effect but aren’t keen on rollers, we recommend the Jenny Patinkin Uplifting Gua Sha Heart. Apply an oil, serum, or moisturizer, and glide the tool over the skin for a relaxing spa experience that will leave you feeling fresher and more awake. Like facial rollers, the Gua Sha Heart will promote lymphatic drainage and improve the appearance of skin laxity. It also comes with its own matching carrying case for relaxation and healing on the go. Finally, we can't help but gush about our love for the Milk + Honey Body Brush. Crafted from Chinese cherrywood and 100% boar bristles, it provides gentle exfoliation, promotes healthy circulation and detoxification, and helps to reveal smoother skin. The Best Skincare Tools to Increase Skincare Product Absorption If you're short on self-care time but still want an incredibly effective way to elevate your skincare routine, a device that incorporates cryo-therapy, micro-needling, or massaging may be the perfect tool for you. Cryo-therapy harnesses the benefits of lower temperatures (think of pro athletes taking an ice bath after a strenuous workout) to invigorate the skin and muscles. This cooling treatment can help reduce puffiness, lift and firm the skin, tighten pores, and even reduce the appearance of dark circles. The Fraîcheur Paris Ice Globes are our personal favorite easy-to-use cryo-therapy tool. For those who aren’t familiar, facial cooling globes are spherical tools that can be placed in the freezer and then rolled over the face for a number of skincare benefits. In addition to the benefits listed above, they can also brighten the complexion, reduce acne scarring, and more. Want to feel extra refreshed in the morning or soothe tired skin and tense muscles at the end of a day? Incorporate a quick facial ice globe session into your routine, and try using it on top of your favorite sheet mask for a next-level facial. The award-winning Jenny Patinkin Rose on Rose Derma Roller has won great praise from Health and Shape magazines because it's a fast, painless, and low-tech tool that helps your skincare products sink more deeply into your skin. The tool uses microneedles to create tiny channels into the deeper layers of your skin, allowing the ingredients to sink in more effectively. While it may be tempting, we only recommend using this tool one to two times per week. Finally, if you're like many others and suffer from facial muscle tension or a dull complexion in general, you'll love The Gold Sculpting Bar. Created by celebrity makeup artist Jillian Dempsey, this vibrating facial tool helps sculpt the face by increasing circulation and can help ease tension in the jaw, forehead, around the lips, and more. For the ultimate facial, use it while wearing your favorite sheet mask or under eye patches! Ready to Explore? Are you ready to dive into the fun and evolving world of skincare tools?

From texture to loss of elasticity and everything in between, it seems like there's a long list of skincare concerns many of us deal with on a regular basis. However, thanks to some high-tech devices and basic skincare tools, caring for our skin and enjoying a spa-like moment at home has never been easier. In this blog, we're sharing our top skincare tool picks to treat different skincare concerns and explaining the benefits of each! Remove dirt, debris, and dead skin cells with the Esker Beauty Body Plane (left) or the Milk + Honey Body Brush (right). Both provide additional benefits like aiding in boosting circulation and aiding in lymphatic draining. Skincare Tools for Exfoliation Pesky dry patches, keratosis pilaris, and general skin dullness impact more than half of Americans, so it's no surprise beauty brands have taken notice and have created safe and effective skincare tools to help. The Esker Beauty Body Plane is a hand-held device that takes inspiration from the ancient Greek strigil, a tool that uses a dulled blade to scrape away debris, dirt, and dead skin cells. You can click here to learn more about that in our blog about how to use the Body Plane, but to summarize this updated version of the strigil, it can help reduce KP bumps and gently sweep away impurities when used correctly. For best results, pair with one of Esker's body oils. Another option is to treat yourself to a body brushing session once a week. Unlike the Body Plane, a body brush is best used before showering. The Milk + Honey Body Brush is crafted from Chinese cherrywood and boar bristles to gently and thoroughly exfoliate the skin, promote healthy circulation and detoxification, and to reveal smooth, happy skin. Regardless of the method you choose, work in long, slow sweeping motions starting at your extremities and move toward your heart to aid in lymphatic draining and to improve circulation. Avoid over-exfoliating, as this can have the opposite effect and cause additional skin irritation. Give your body the royal treatment and target stubborn dimples with the NuBODY, and target fine lines with the Trinity with the ELE Attachment. Skincare Tools for Anti-Aging High-quality facial care has come a long way, and you can achieve professional results at home! NuFACE offers FDA-approved microcurrent devices that are the leading choice for estheticians and makeup artists wanting to give their clients an uplifting treatment. The NuFACE FIX line smoothing device paired with the NuFACE FIX serum provides a quick fix skin-plumping session with microcurrent technology! You can see instant results in just 3 minutes, and there's a whole range of techniques to smooth lines around the lips and eyes. We made it easy to pick which one is best for you — simply read our article here. For a longer microcurrent session with long-term results, the NuFACE Trinity device can sculpt, depuff, tone muscles, and more. Just think of it as a workout for your face! Pair the Trinity with the Effective Lip & Eye attachment to treat extra delicate skin, or attach the Wrinkle Reducer Red Light Therapy attachment to target fine lines. If you want the same results microcurrent can offer for your body, the NuFACE NuBODY Toning and Firming Kit is our top pick for you. This larger device utilizes microcurrent to smooth dimples and to tone the skin. This is the first FDA-approved product of its kind and is designed with four treatment spheres that focus on targeting the microcurrent to specific parts of the body to help smooth away the appearance of uneven or dimpled skin. End your skincare self care routine with a soothing facial that improves circulation, depuffs, and reinvigorates your skin. The Fraicheur Paris Facial Ice Globes are used by estheticians worldwide, and MUA Jillian Dempsey created the Gold Sculptin Bar to give her clients the red carpet treatment in just a few minutes! Skincare Tools for Soothing Stressed Skin Now that you've learned more about our favorite skincare tools to exfoliate and for anti-aging, it's time to talk about tools that can soothe the skin. The Fraicheur Paris Facial Ice Globes are among our best-selling skincare tools and offer an oversized sphere that allows you to cover a larger surface area in a shorter time frame. They utilize cryotherapy to temporarily decrease the size of blood vessels in the skin, so they're great to help hide dark circles under the eyes while soothing facial muscles. Simply pop the globes into the fridge for at least an hour to get them nice and cold, and enjoy! To read step-by-step instructions on how to perform a few Facial Ice Globe facials, click here. For a quicker treatment that's not quite as cold, the FITISH Ice Globes are cooled in the fridge (versus the freezer), so those that are sensitive to the colder temps may prefer these globes for their cryotherapy session. If you have tense facial muscles and a bit of puffiness you're trying to treat, the Jillian Dempsey Gold Sculpting Bar is the perfect device. Ideal for men and women, the 24k gold plated Gold Bar’s vibrations mimic the effects of a massage, instantly relaxing facial muscles to release tension. Makeup Artist Jillian Dempsey created this device to give her models a professional-level facial in just a few minutes before makeup application. Feeling Inspired?

Conture Kinetic Skin Toning System w/ Serum It is no surprise this viral sensation landed in our #1 spot after Jessica Alba described the Conture Kinetic Skin Toning System as a tool "that does all the things". Beauty Influencer Tati Westbrook tested this skincare tool and said she looked younger and sculpted thanks to the treatment. Conture is committed to discovering new ways to care for skin that are easy, painless, and deliver proven results. They have done just that with their Kinetic Skin Toning System by utilizing Isometric Compression combined with Low Frequency Vibrations to gently stimulate and tone skin for a more youthful-looking appearance. This technology is similar to those used, and once only available, by professionals in med-spas and skin centers. Used daily, the Conture Kinetic Skin Toning System has been clinically shown to enhance the appearance and absorption of skin. Resulting in the overall signs of aging, dull and tired-looking skin are improved and skin is left feeling and looking radiant and more youthful.

Fitish Beauty Tone Down Body Cream Tone Down Body Cream uses the finest THC-Free CBD in combination with aloe, green tea, coffee, and peppermint. It's cooling, clarifying, and moisturizing. It was created to help calm redness but has shown results for conditions like eczema, psoriasis, and acne on the body. For a lightweight spray-on version of this fan favorite, opt for Fitish Beauty Tone Down Facial Mist. 2. Embryolisse 222000 Lait Creme Fluide Hydratant 500ml Embryolisse Lait Crème Fluide contains all the same hydrating ingredients found in the best selling 24 Hour Cream but is formulated specifically for your hands and body. This light and velvety smooth lotion replenishes the moisture your skin craves, leaving it soft and supple. Apply to your entire body after bathing for an intense hydration that lasts all day. 1. Esker Beauty Body Plane The Esker Beauty Body Plane is inspired by the rituals of ancient Greek and Roman bathhouses. Strigils were metal scraping tools used for oil cleansing from head to toe. This modern take on the strigil is crafted from premium teak wood. The stainless steel blunt edge is plated with colloidal sterling silver which is naturally antibacterial and anti-inflammatory, leaving skin soothed and smoothed. This tool gently and thoroughly exfoliates the skin without damaging or irritating its moisture barrier. It helps smooth skin and alleviate roughness and patchiness including ingrown hairs and keratosis pilaris. Honorable Mention Indie Lee Coconut Citrus Scrub The scent of this clean-beauty scrub is almost good enough to eat thanks to natural ingredients including lemongrass, lemon balm, and vanilla. It also contains raw cane sugar, coconut oil, and jojoba oil for a moisture boost with gentle exfoliation. Honorable Mentions It was an exciting year for us when it comes to skincare, hair care, and tools, so we wanted to spotlight a few extra brands we've added this year! Saint Jane offers luxurious skincare and beauty products that incorporate calming botanicals including CBD and sustainably sourced ingredients for all skin types and skin tones. Each ingredient is gently extracted to optimize purity and performance and meticulously blended to ensure maximum potency. Ilios Lighting was created to solve the mirror and lighting needs of makeup artists, photographers, and content creators in one innovative ring light. Mario Dedivanovic explains it best. "Lighting is such a critical part of everything I do, from makeup application to content creation," said Mario. "I not only see a need for this product, but a need for a company that truly embraces our industry and understands it. The Ilios Beauty Ring is the closest thing I’ve experienced to natural sunlight. The quality is just perfect.” MYKITCO was created by makeup artist James Molloy and partner Alex. They took the utmost care to hand-make their original designs from scratch. James then tried and tested each and every bag and brush until they were perfect. With ultimate confidence in the quality they were offering, MYKITCO quickly became an industry favorite, responsible for some major kit upgrades all over the world. AVENE has over 275 years of expertise in caring for sensitive skin and is recommended by dermatologists worldwide. At the heart of every formula, is clinically proven Avène Thermal Spring Water to soothe, soften and calm the skin. Originating as pure rain mixed with sea-spray rich in mineral salts, Avène Thermal Spring Water makes its 50-year journey through the Cévennes Mountains in Avène, France. During this journey, the water filters through the dolomites, mineral-laden porous rocks, where it comes into contact with an ancient microorganism, named Aquaphilus Dolomiae*, that produces key substances which are in part responsible for making Avène Thermal Spring Water so effective. This remarkable biological property, combined with the well-known mineral properties, is the double signature of Avène Thermal Spring Water. Feeling Inspired?

She dreamed of having a pro makeup showroom where artists could play with professional products without the typical makeup store attitude. Today, our team of beauty industry veterans work together to curate the best quality products on the market. We partner with brands who respect the industry and formulate products for true working artists. You won’t find CRC in high-end malls, and we don't wear matching brush belts.

Ask any makeup artist what the most important tool is in their kit, and odds are they'll have a hard time selecting from a group of their favorite brushes or a bag that allows them to stay tidy and organized on set. Each brush is designed with a different texture, finish, and product in mind, and when properly used, it can make all the difference, and we all know that having the proper case to house your makeup is key to working efficiently on set. Needless to say, we know that this brand is one that you've been asking us to offer. We're thrilled to announce MYKITCO. is officially part of the Camera Ready family! The Beginning In 2015, makeup artist James Molloy and his partner, Alex Thompson, launched MYKITCO.™ Although James has had an incredible career as a makeup artist that has spanned more than 18 years and has traveled the world for international collections, headed up a major makeup brand as Director of Artistry for MAC Asia Pacific, and more recently became the global Ambassador for Rimmel London, he was never fully satisfied with the choice of tools and accessories available on the market. Together with Alex, who completes the duo with his business and events background, they decided to create a brand that offers makeup artists and makeup lovers affordable, high quality professional brushes, bags, and accessories. Starting in the spare room of their home, James and Alex took the utmost care to hand-make their original designs from scratch. James then tried and tested each and every bag and brush until they were perfect. With ultimate confidence in the quality they were offering, MYKITCO. quickly became an industry favorite, responsible for some major kit upgrades all over the world. Their Purpose While their purpose is to create professional brushes for makeup lovers, keeping the professional makeup artist in mind with all that they do is at the core of their company. They've worked hard to create a community that is passionate about the industry and are constantly inspired by the creativity and enthusiasm for makeup and a shared passion for professional and practical kit organization. The Brushes MYKITCO's award-winning makeup brushes are expertly hand-crafted using the finest materials. They have weighted, solid wood handles which are 7-layer lacquered to increase longevity and durability. In typical MYKITCO. fashion, James and Alex wanted to create tools that were perfect for those using them. The brushes with gray handles include a range of classic makeup brush essentials that are suitable for all levels of artistry. The blue-handled brushes were created for pros and offer more variation in shape, finish, and function, and are suitable for more specialized makeup needs. As for the type of bristles, each brush has natural, synthetic, or a blend of both hairs to maximize the beauty of each product they’re designed to be used with. While their products may be designed by professionals, James and Alex encourage makeup lovers of all skill levels to enjoy brushes from both lines and to explore their artistry with whatever brushes they prefer. Knowing the importance of education and their desire to help artists grow, they took the time to write tips on how to use each brush to showcase the benefits of each and how to maximize its uses.

Pro Feliner 1.22 LEARN MORE Pro My Tiny Angle Brush 1.17 LEARN MORE Pro My Tiny Liner Brush 1.11 LEARN MORE PRO Tips for Caring for Your Brushes To ensure the longest life of your MYKITCO. brushes, here are a few tips straight from James and Alex to keep them soft, shiny and clean! 1. Wash your brushes at least once per week using shampoo, pure olive oil soap or baby oil for more persistent makeup. 2. Wet the brush head in lukewarm water then swirl the tip into the shampoo or soap until it lathers. Continue to swirl until all makeup is removed. 3. Rinse the brush head under running water until all detergent is removed then squeeze out the excess water. 4. Groom the tip of your brush back to it's original shape and leave on a flat surface to dry. 5. For more persistent makeup such as lipstick and eyeliner, dip the tip of your brush in baby oil and swirl over a tissue to help break down the product. Shampoo your brush as normal to remove the oil residue. Avoid submerging the entire brush in water as this will corrode the ferrule over time. Additionally, avoid harsh cleaning solutions as these may damage the natural brush fibers. The Bags & Tools James and Alex's dedication to pro artists didn't stop at brushes! They created bags that helped artists both on set and to store their brushes at home. From their best selling Brush Buddies to their PVC Pods and Pouches, each item is designed to make pro life easier with see-through and durable materials. Each bag is fashioned with attention to detail in mind - from detachable belts, extra compartments, and perfectly placed partitions to help keep you organized.

Professional makeup artists and aestheticians around the globe have incorporated NuFACE devices into their services. From the instant results from NuFACE FIX® through the Lip Flick Treatment to lifted brows and smoothed fine lines, we love how NuFACE devices can help makeup apply better on top of treated skin AND provide lasting results with regular use!   Did you miss our Instagram Live with NuFACE Sales Manager Katie Gonzalez? Watch it now! Routines for PROs For the Bride On the big day, every bride wants to look their best. The NuFACE FIX provides an instantly smoother canvas by smoothing out fine lines and plumping up the skin with gentle microcurrent in just three minutes. Using the feathering technique (learn more here), you can provide a soothing facial while also creating a more even base for makeup application. Simple start with cleansed skin, apply the NuFACE Fix Line Smoothing Serum, and treat the areas you want to smooth. The device will automatically turn off after three minutes. Tap any remaining serum into the skin, as it will provide extra hydration and will act as a primer for makeup. For added contouring to the face, use the Trinity PRO or Mini to contour and sculpt the face using the 5-Minute Facial Lift, or give their eyes an extra using the ELE attachment. For the Mother-of-the-Bride In addition to using the NuFACE FIX to smooth lines, try the Lip Flick technique to smooth lip lines and plump the lips. This quick 3-minute treatment will also help prevent lip liner and lipstick from bleeding throughout the day. If time allows, treat the Mother-of-the-Bride to the 15-Minute Advanced Facial Lift. For Quick Makeup Changes or Touch-ups If you're on set and always on the go, be sure to keep the FIX and the Prep-N-Glow Cleansing Cloths handy for an instant perk-me-up! The cleansing cloths are dual-sided and remove makeup, dirt, oil, and impurities with soft spun lace while the polishing micro-dots provide gentle exfoliation to brighten skin. These individually wrapped cloths are enriched with hydrating hyaluronic acid as well as antioxidants and minerals to keep skin looking radiant and beautifully refreshed, at home or on the go. They're the perfect way to exfoliate and cleanse skin before your microcurrent treatment.   Once properly cleansed, perform the Instant Line Smoothing Treatment, an easy 3-minute routine, to get skin ready for the next look. The skin will be instantly smoother, and your makeup will apply easier and be less prone to creasing.

Information and images courtesy of NuFACE® NuFACE is the leader in at-home beauty devices helping every client look and feel more beautiful. Using its flagship technology, microcurrent, NuFACE's award-winning products are clinically shown to help tone, firm, and reduce the look of wrinkles. The results are both instant for a quick lift and cumulative with continued use. Let's discuss why we're excited to add this high-tech tool and skincare brand to our lineup! Behind the Brand BORN IN THE BEAUTY OF SOCAL Carol Cole and her daughters, Tera Peterson and Kim Morales, created NuFACE out of their home in Encinitas, CA. Carol, a licensed aesthetician, began her career in 1985 at the famed Golden Door destination spa in Escondido, CA. While administering treatments, she heard common anti-aging concerns from her clients such as sagging eyelids, loss of contour. and simply “tired of looking tired”. With this knowledge in hand, Carol started specializing in microcurrent facials and traveled weekly to Los Angeles to serve the most discerning clients in Hollywood. She soon recognized her clients’ need for more frequent microcurrent treatments so in 2005, Carol and her daughters (Tera—also an aesthetician), launched NuFACE for their clients to use at-home in between their professional microcurrent facials. MEET NUFACE'S EXPERT AESTHETICIAN Microcurrent Aesthetician Tera Peterson is the Co-Founder & Chief Creative Officer of NuFACE, the leader in at-home Microcurrent Skincare offering a range of award-winning devices and topical skincare products that deliver clinically tested, professional results and skin confidence to clients everywhere. The Devices NuFACE award-winning face and body toning devices put the power of microcurrent and pro-level, anti-aging skin treatments into the palm of your hand. As we age, our body's natural current slowly starts to break down, causing sagging skin, loss of contour, and the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. NuFACE microcurrent devices re-energize your skin’s natural current as it slows with age. This boost of energy travels beyond the surface of the skin to help tone, lift, and contour in as little as 5 minutes a day. We are proud to offer four NuFACE microcurrent devices including the Trinity PRO, an upgraded version of the consumer-friendly TRINITY. First, there’s the NuFACE® Trinity PRO. The NuFACE Trinity PRO delivers up to 400 microamps compared to its consumer-friendly counterpart, the Trinity which offers up to 335 microamps. The Trinity PRO is an advanced microcurrent facial toning device that helps improve facial contour, tone, and appearance of fine lines and wrinkles in just 5 minutes a day. To make the most of the Trinity Pro, you can swap out the original head with the ELE and TWR attachments to target the eyes and lips as well as perform light therapy with this powerful device. SHOP NuFACE Trinity PRO Next, there’s the NuFACE® Mini. Using the same microcurrent technology as the Trinity, the Mini gently stimulates the larger surface areas of the face and neck, but in a cute, compact size. Like the Trinity, the Mini improves facial contour, tone, and the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Although compact, the Mini has great strength for a 5-Minute Facial-Lift® and is a great on-the-go microcurrent device. SHOP NuFACE Mini The NuFACE FIX® smooths lines and wrinkles around the eyes, mouth, and forehead. Need a quick lift and invigorating mini facial on the go? The FIX is the perfect choice for you. No bigger than a mascara tube, the FIX provides a gentle stimulation using microcurrents to the surface layers of skin with a quick erasing motion, smoothing away the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles in just 3 minutes. The FIX can also be used around the lip area for the appearance of fuller-looking lips. SHOP NuFACE FIX To round out the overall experience, the NuBODY by NuFACE® delivers a versatile 5-minute body sculpting routine. Perfect for use at home or to enhance the services you offer to your clients, the NuBODY visibly tones, firms, and smooths the look of dimples providing a smoother silhouette. It’s designed for the larger, denser areas of the body and has four treatment spheres delivering a gentle, yet powerful, microcurrent to help smooth away the look of dimpled skin, known as cellulite. SHOP NuBODY The Skincare Products Microcurrent is your exercise. Skincare is your nutrition. NuFACE's line of nutrient-enriched skincare products are formulated to activate NuFACE microcurrent so that you get the most out of every facial, lip, eye, and body treatment. These aren’t just your average skincare products and gel primers—they’re standalone beauty products packed with anti-aging benefits your skin will love whether you’re keeping them on after your microcurrent treatment or tapping them on throughout the day. The Prep-N-Glow® Cleansing Cloths are dual-sided cleansing cloths that cleanse, exfoliate, and hydrate the skin leaving a radiant glow. These cloths are a perfect way to prep your face before a microcurrent treatment.   For optimal microcurrent usage, gel primers are essential. The Hydrating Leave-On Gel Primer is a lightweight, velvety gel that hydrates your skin and pairs with the NuFACE TRINITY Pro, NuFACE Mini, and NuBODY. Absorbing easily, you can use it anytime you need a moisture boost. We also offer the NuFACE FIX Serum, which is a brightening and moisturizing facial serum. With supercharged active beauty ingredients, your skin will burst with energy to awaken tired eyes, revive dull-looking skin, and restore radiance. The NuFACE FIX Serum helps to smooth, brighten, and tighten skin while locking in essential hydration. For a quick pick-me-up or to reactive your primer if it begins to dry during treatment, the Optimizing Mist is a lightweight, oil-free spray that revitalizes and hydrates your face and body due to its soothing aloe vera, hyaluronic acid, and botanical extracts.
