8 At-Home Skincare And Body Care Devices That Are Perfect For Your DIY Treatments

If there's anything the pandemic has taught many of us, it's that self-care is important now more than ever. Throughout the months we've been living under quarantine, especially at the height of the pandemic, many women have had to change their beauty routines and improvise with home-friendly alternatives to their regular beauty clinic visits.

During which time, while many businesses shut down, there was also a noticeable increase in the sales of not just health and wellness products but also at-home skincare devices that can match in-clinic results.

Cristina Yu is one of those women who were determined to not let the stress and anxiety that come with the global health crisis manifest in their skin and body. With her family stuck at home for months like the rest of us, they found themselves experimenting with DIY skin treatments until Cristina was led to scouring the Internet for at-home skincare devices that are effective and safe.  

That's when she discovered Silk'n, an internationally-acclaimed brand of professional aesthetic devices for home use. She then ordered its products and tested them herself. Impressed by the results they delivered, she thought, "Wow, this technology has to be shared. This can change the way we live!" 

Cristina has always been interested in the beauty industry; she even used to operate a home spa. So, stumbling upon Silk'n was like a lightbulb moment for her. 

"When I tried these high-tech beauty tools that allowed me to have results that I would otherwise have to get through a clinic, I was very thrilled. Beauty treatments did not mean I would have to be away all the time. Whatever saves me time, money, and energy, I'm up for it," she tells Metro.Style. 

She put up The Skin Guru amidst the pandemic, securing the distributorship for Silk'n. Cristina shares, "Self-care and self-love are really important especially at this time. We have just started but I am seeing that consumers want to take care of themselves at home now more than ever."   

Silk'n's products that are currently offered by The Skin Guru include the following:

Tightra is a product designed for women's intimate wellness that helps prevent mild urinary leakage. Cristina says, "[This is] the first device for feminine intimate wellness that you can use at home with proven safe and effective Bi-Polar RF technology. This technology is known for its tightening and firming effect on the female private area."

Facetite is an anti-ageing device that reduces wrinkles and fine lines. "This anti-aging tool is all-in-one. [It makes use of] radio frequency, infrared, and LED to stimulate collagen fibers combined with hyaluronic acid," Cristina explains.

Jewel is a hair removal device with a patented Home Pulsed Light (HPL) technology that targets pigment in the hair shaft to disable hair growth, without damaging the surrounding skin. 

Infinity is a device with an advanced hair removal technology that uses pulses of light to permanently remove unwanted hair growth in a pain-free way.

Toothwave is a toothbrush that not only cleans your teeth and removes impurities but also reduces gum inflammation and bleeding, thanks to its patented DentalRF Technology.

Flash N Go Pro is a hair removal device that achieves permanently hair-free skin. What's recommended is to use it at the same area every two weeks for six sessions for best results.

Lipo Duo is a product that reduces stubborn fat and at the same time trains and strengthens the underlying muscles. Try it for your belly, waistline, thigh area, buttocks, or upper arms. Use it for 15 minutes for at least eight sessions, and improvement can be seen already.

Revit is a microdermabrasion device that has diamonds attached to the tip. What it does is make skin's irregularities, shallow acne scars, and age spots less visible.

Cristina says that their bestsellers so far are their hair removal devices, Facetite, Tightra, and Revit. Silkn's products have been featured in TV shows and magazines abroad such as O, The Oprah Magazine, The Rachael Ray Show, The Doctors, Allure, and Vogue.
