Bliss out and save time and money with pro clinic and spa products that you can use at home.
When futurist Faith Popcorn first predicted that the world would turn inwards and increasingly seek its pleasures (and work-life) at home the buzzword ‘cocooning’ was born. Fade out; fade in. In 2016 wifi conjures ‘connectivity cocooning’ for shoppers, daters, even gamblers.
Beauty joins the (indoor) party too – ushering in an era of high-tech products and devices that we would once have tried in a spa or salon.
Feeling lazy, cash-poor or simply curious to integrate professional bells and whistles in the comfort of their own home? Your terry- towelling robe awaits…
Young Living DewDrop Diffuser RRP $138.15
Home Spa Air Diffuser
Have you ever wandered into a bamboo-clad spa and thought, why must this spell of utter serenity, pan-fluted bliss and air like wine ever break? Bring it on home and breathe deeply as this dewdrop-inspired diffuser fools you into thinking you’re getting a massage – when you are in fact peeling a spud. Ambient light adds atmosphere for each 4-hour session, with a divine oil blend range from herbs to fragrant woods.
O COSMEDICS 3 in 1 Fruit Peel Mask RRP $62
Home Face Peel
Dead cell removal leaves a complexion radiant and allows the products we use to penetrate properly. Time runs away with us, so professional strength peels allow us to catch up between microdermabrasion or clinic visits. OCosmedics uses a powerfully pro 18% enzyme mix of mango, pomegranate and papaya – with L-Lactic Acid – to get the job done.
LightStim LED Light Therapy RRP $289
HOME LED LIGHT THERAPY
This handheld device uses NASA-designed LED technology to deliver light rays into skin and body tissue: a clinically proven, pro-strength way to increase collagen and elastin production, reduce inflammation, speed healing and increase micro-circulation. A smartphone app even helps you track your progress.
JAMBERRY Nail Art Trushine Nail Enamel System, $173, jamberrynails.com.au or an independent consultant.
HOME NAIL ART
Negative space and animal print manicures are burning up Instagram, sending us scurrying to a nail art technician. Now Jamberry offers a non-toxic, mess free way to cheat your way to the funkiest of funky nails (marble anyone? Obsessed!). The heat nail wrap is idiot-proof – but also social. While some converts are ordering online, others are getting the girls together for an in-home Jamberry party with a consultant. Take that Tupperware…
Clarisonic Smart Profile RRP$299 (or $38 for body brush head)
HOME BODY BRUSH
When Clarisonic developed an oscillating brush that cleans skin 11 times more deeply many women never looked back. Now the smart device is updated with a body brush head that transforms this little guy into a body exfoliator and turbo massager too, the equivalent of your local spa menu offering home delivery.
