This holiday season, we’ve found the gifts that feel great to get and even better to give. Shop our collection of editor-approved holiday gift guides here.
We all know someone with incredible skin — but getting there takes work. From applying sunscreen to being religious with retinol, chances are they’ve already nailed their skincare lineup. Still, even the best routines can benefit from a little extra help.
Skincare tools have come a long way since the days of intimidating dermarollers. Today’s options include LED masks that help heal and rejuvenate skin with red, infrared, and blue light, microcurrent devices that tone and boost radiance, and cryotherapy tools that de-puff in minutes.
So help them become their own facialist with these 10 skincare tools, starting at $18, all recommended by our beauty director.

NuFACE Trinity Facial Toning Kit
They’ll be hard-pressed to find a dermatologist or esthetician who hasn’t tried — and loved — a NuFACE microcurrent facial toning device. Unlike many facial tools that require weeks of consistent use, results are visible immediately. Using low-level electrical currents, it stimulates the facial muscles to create a lifted, tightened effect. The kit also includes two conductive products, allowing the device to glide smoothly over skin without irritation. Snatched jawline, loading.

Shark Beauty CryoGlow Under-Eye Cooling+LED Anti-Aging & Skin Clearing Face Mask
If you really want to impress your giftee, wearing this mask feels akin to a professional facial. It’s packed with red and infrared LED lights that, once absorbed by the skin, activate fibroblasts — the cells responsible for producing collagen and elastin, which keep skin firm, resilient, and hydrated. Red light is also known to help treat breakouts by reducing inflammation and targeting acne-causing bacteria. This mask does all that and more, with the addition of blue light to help calm redness, plus cooling under-eye technology to soothe tired, inflamed skin.

Skin Gym CryoRoll Ice Roller
The skin-icing trend isn’t going anywhere — just ask Hailey Bieber, who famously dunks her face into a bowl of ice water before red carpet events. While that can get messy, Skin Gym’s CryoRoll Ice Roller streamlines the soothing, skin-awakening ritual. Simply fill it with water and place it in the freezer. Once frozen, remove the lid and glide it over your face to de-puff under-eye bags and refresh tired skin. You can even add a few drops of hyaluronic acid serum to boost hydration.

ZIIP Halo Microcurrent Facial Device
One of the smartest microcurrent facial tools available, this device connects to an app on their phone, allowing them to personalize the current sequence based on their skin’s needs — whether it’s lifting, firming, or de-puffing. It also comes with a conductor gel for easy gliding, and its ergonomic design makes it super easy to maneuver. We’ve heard some derms extolling its virtues, and thousands of glowing reviews highlight noticeable improvements in fine lines and sagging skin.

Solawave 4-in-1 Radiant Renewal Skincare Wand
If an LED mask feels a bit out of budget, consider Solawave’s nifty rechargeable wand instead. It combines collagen-boosting red light with microcurrent to energize facial muscles and tighten skin instantly and cumulatively, plus facial massage and a comforting warming sensation. Using it might just be the best three minutes of their day.

GESKE SmartAppGuided Cool & Warm Duo Eye Massager
If they’re always complaining about feeling — and looking — tired, they’ll love Geske’s cool-and-warm eye massagers. Using them is simple: immerse the tools in warm water for a comforting, under-eye “hug,” or pop them in the fridge for a refreshing cool-down. The liquid inside the tools efficiently conducts heat or cold for maximum effect.

Nurse Jamie UpLift Neck Sculpt’sure Set
Nurse Jamie’s UpLift mimics the pummeling magic fingers of any facialist — they’ll wonder how they ever lived without it. Thanks to 24 massaging stones, rolling it over the jawline instantly releases tight muscles, leaving the face feeling lighter and your giftee more relaxed. The set also comes with a firming cream to hydrate and nourish skin as they go.

FOREO FAQ™ 201 LED Face Mask
Foreo’s FAQ LED mask is the talk of every beauty editor group chat — it’s that weightless. Made of soft, comfortable silicone, the mask is studded with 600 red, green, and blue LED lights to boost collagen and elastin, reduce redness, and gradually brighten skin. Even better? It’s completely wireless, so you won’t get tangled up while relaxing, and the generous eye openings let you read or watch TV without emerging bleary-eyed.

PURSONIC Complete At-Home Facial Spa Bundle
Give them the gift of a facial — every day if they like — with Pursonic’s at-home facial spa bundle. It includes a soothing facial steamer that leaves skin dewy, plump, and hydrated, a red light therapy wand to boost skin suppleness over time, and hydrocolloid pimple patches to help breakouts heal quickly.

Shark™ FacialPro™ Glow Glow-Boosting At-Home Facial System
If you’ve got a bit more to spend, it has to be Shark’s FacialPro. This clever device comes with interchangeable liquid tanks and multiple attachments that deliver results similar to a 90-minute professional facial. That includes a cooling-and-warming depuffing massager, an exfoliating tip, and a Hydro Infuse stage that drenches skin in an exfoliating, hydrating serum. And that’s just the beginning. For anyone serious about achieving glass skin in 2026, this will get them there.
