DIY facials are getting an OS upgrade. Comedy

gold on camera, wearable masks use serious tech

to give dermatologist-grade results. Neutrogena’s

plug-in pimple zapper may look like it’s from

an ’80s slasher film, but its blue-and-red light rays

blast bacteria, and null inflammation (it works).

Lines your downfall? Play Skin’s hydrogel mask

has two tiny electrodes that connect your temples

to your phone to lift and tone using micro-currents.

If this all sounds a bit too scary for you, may we

suggest ZIIP’s hand-held face vibrator. Controlled

by an app, it’s basically some buzzing (metal) balls

that jiggle the collagen in your face for a youthful

glow. Now that’s a far better result than we got last

time we had a pair of balls that close to our mouths.
