As we plunge into another national lockdown, DIY beauty treatments and at-home beauty devices are proving a saving grace while the spas are shut. With self-care becoming more of a priority for both men and women, many innovative treatments, once only available at pricey clinics or from specialist aestheticians, are now available for you to try yourself at home, and with beauty tech rising in popularity, we round up the DIY beauty devices you should be investing in.
The Best DIY Beauty Treatments and At-home Devices
HigherDOSE Infrared Sauna Blanket V3, £399
Let us set the scene. It’s been a long, hard day of wedding planning, all the cells of that wedding budget spreadsheet are merging into one, your head’s pounding after hours of blue-light exposure from scrolling through Wedding Ideas Pinterest; what you really need is to check into a spa. Immediately. However, as the UK is currently navigating a third lockdown, a wellness retreat at that luxury spa you’ve been eyeing up for your hen party is off the cards for now. But worry not, as the good people at HigherDOSE, specialist in Infrared saunas, have stepped in with a very handy at-home solution.
The HigherDOSE Infrared Sauna Blanket is essentially a portable or at-home Infrared sauna you can pop up on the go or after a particularly stressful day of doing nothing in lockdown. The benefits of Infrared saunas have long been purported, and are said to include detoxifying your body, boosting your immune system and purifying your skin.
The Sauna Blankets, made with non-toxic PU leather, detox charcoal and heat balancing clay, increase the body’s thermal energy and promotes a temporary increase in blood flow using far infrared rays. Whilst you’re in the blanket your feel simultaneously calm and uplifted, as the infrared gently increases your heart rate and you sweat out all the toxins. After a stint in the blanket you’re left feeling totally rested and rejuvenated, and thanks to increased blood flow and lowered cortisol, you get the high of a killer workout without even leaving your bed.
