7 high-tech beauty tools that actually work

Manicare Nova Fit™ face massager with EMS technology, $114.99 at Priceline, Chemist Warehouse and select independent pharmacies.

Microcurrent facials have become a mainstay in the beauty routines of celebs like Jennifer Aniston, Cindy Crawford and J-Lo. This 5-minute facial massager device works quickly to tighten, smooth and firm your skin's appearance. Think of it as a workout for your face that leaves your jawline and cheeks more contoured and chisled than ever.

The Nova Fit™ uses Electronic Muscle Stimulation technology that sends tiny electric pulses that contract your facial muscles, working to sculpt, firm and support skin restoration and give you the glow you've always dreamed of. Once your workout is done, simply switch the device to relaxation mode for a facial massage to relieve tension and help you unwind — hello beauty sleep. And you can always sculpt with your go-to serum or moisturiser for an age-defying facial.
