Posted by BonnieF Every year that goes past beauty and skincare gets a little bit smarter with both gadgets and products getting more intelligent. So what should you be looking out for this year to maximise your routine?
Smart facials: Elemis Couture Technology Facials
At The House of Elemis in Mayfair, experience the cutting edge of facial technology with their Couture Technology Facials. Using their SkinLab photos to identify the condition of your skin including fine lines, wrinkles, sun damage and dehydration, they customise their facials which can be anything from half an hour to 90 minutes. The beauty of them is that you see instant results, making them ideal before a big event. However with semi-regular appointments as well as follow up using Elemis’s own product lines, you can also see long lasting effects as well.

Smart skincare product: Elemis Smart Cleanse Micellar Water
For a smart but simple skincare solution, Elemis’ Smart Cleanse Micellar Water is a cleanser that works that little bit harder. Best combined with the famous brand’s own cleansers and moisturisers, it retails at £25.00 and uses micelles to remove makeup, oil based grime, and skin pollutants while using apple amino acids, rosehip seed oil, Indian soapnut oil, English rose water, and anti-oxidant rich chamomile to clear and moisturise skin, giving it a radiant glow and clear complexion.
Smart skincare device: VisaPure Advanced Home Facial Device
At home, more devices and products are coming on the market to give salon quality results. At £199, Philips’ VisaPure Advanced Home Facial Device is a Vogue recommended tool to help get the most out of your skincare routine. The home facial device uses Customised DualMotion technology to increase product absorption, improve circulation to leave skin more radiant, massage the skin and reduce puffiness around the eyes as well as cleanse.
Smart suncare: La Roche-Posay UV Sense
This year La Roche-Posay debuted their UV Sense device which is a sign that sun skincare is definitely getting smarter. No bigger than a fingernail… in fact it is tipped as simply looking like nail art, the wearable tracker works in tandem with an app and tells the wearer when it is time to re-apply sun protection to help prevent sun damage. It doesn’t need to be charged or Bluetooth-wired or anything to give you status updates on the environmental factors (UV exposure, pollution, humidity, allergen levels) around you that are affecting your skin, and you can shower, swim, and work out while wearing the app, and it’ll stay on for up to two weeks or until you peel it off. It is also environmentally friendly to dispose of.
