THE IT GIRL GADGETS EVERY INSIDER SHOULD OWN

Super Steamer

Forget hoverboards, jetpacks and holidays to Mars, when fashionistas of the past imagined the tech-filled 2020s, they probably pictured LG’s new Steam Clothing Care System. Or to give it its full title, the LG Styler S3BF WiFi-Enabled Steam Clothing Care System.

More wardrobe than steamer, it’s a safe space for those clothes that are too delicate for the dryer and too wrinkle-prone to be worn without a good once-over. Hang delicates, cashmeres and linens inside, then watch as they come out dry, soft and wrinkle-free. The last word in luxury, the steam system also infuses clothes with fragrance. Bonus: the patented TrueSteam technology removes bacteria and sterilises clothes; a real boon for allergy-sufferers. Pair the styler with your phone via the LG ThinQ app, then marvel at your tech prowess.

Good Hair Day

Few styling tools have as much gadgetry – and tantamount buzz – as the Dyson Airwrap. And the brand’s new follow-up, the second generation Dyson Airwrap Multi-Styler, is no exception.

What makes it so extraordinary? First up: it dries and styles your hair at once. Secondly, it uses air, not heat to style your hair; knocking heat damage on the head. Also, the new version boasts three speeds, plus a series of attachments – based on your hair texture and type – meaning your Styler is customised to you.

That’s the basics, now to touch upon the tech wizardry (of which there is a lot): the Multi-Styler harnesses an aerodynamic phenomenon called the Coanda effect. Meaning, it uses air to attract and wrap hair to the barrel. The unique technology checks the temperature 40 times per second to ensure it doesn’t expose your hair to extreme heat. Most appealing is that the Multi-Styler niftily creates clockwise and anticlockwise curls with one barrel. So, whether it’s dreamy blow-dry, undone curls or a sleek finish, whatever your vision of good hair is, you’re sorted.

Saving Face

You owe it your visage to invest in a facial massager. Particularly, one that promises it can tone and treat your face all at once. Enter: TheraFace Pro. The latest release from Therabody, pioneers of technology-based wellness, promises eight power-packed therapies for your facial health; from percussive massage to LED light therapy and deep cleansing. Imagine a Clarisonic; but far fancier.

The USP of a TheraFace Pro reads like the menu of an exclusive, A-list facialist. Microcurrent tightens and firms skin which also improves contour and muscle tone. Meanwhile, red and infrared LED light therapy work to reduce fine lines and wrinkles. Percussive massage undoes nasty tension from the jaw, neck and temples. Cold therapy blitzes eye bags. The micro point attachment even works to reduce minor facial pain: shall we go on?

The good news is TheraFace Pro has the power to treat not only your complexion but the facial muscles beneath: an essential for prolonged skin health. The bad news is you may forget the array of lotions and potions on your bathroom shelf even exist.
