The upsized cold laser

LYMA Laser Pro

If you’re serious about skin longevity, this is the tool to invest in. The LYMA Laser Pro is a supersized iteration of the cult-favourite original, featuring a little extra power and a much larger lens that treats your entire face in half the time of its predecessor and can also be used on the body. It’s a cold laser (so there’s no heat, pain or downtime) that uses deep-penetrating, near-infrared light to stimulate collagen production, smooth fine lines, fade pigmentation and repair skin at a cellular level. Celebrities like Hailey Bieber, Gwyneth Paltrow and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley swear by it for red-carpet skin, and for good reason: it’s incredibly easy to use. Simply apply your usual cream or serum for a little slip (you can also use it without) and hold the device over an area of your skin for three minutes. Cleverly, the device flashes white when those three minutes are up and it’s time to move on to another area. After each treatment, you’ll notice an immediate glow, but the real magic happens with consistent use over time.

The fashion-forward weighted vest

Omorpho G-Vest Icon

Not so much a gadget as the coolest fitness accessory to come out of 2025, the weighted vest is still the must-have way to amp up your workouts – and Omorpho’s G-Vest is the one everyone’s raving about (Gucci Westman included). With a version designed specifically for women, it uses science-backed technology to distribute small amounts of weight evenly across key muscle groups, making everything from walking to strength training more effective. Created by a team with deep roots at global sportswear giants and years of experience working with elite athletes, the vest fits like a second skin – snug, streamlined and never bulky. The Icon style features an optional snap-in system (called the G-Pack) to add weight in measured steps (no clunky pockets here) and the G-Wear range now includes weighted long-sleeve tops and tanks, too. Omorpho was the first to rethink weighted vests as fashion, introducing color and seasonal drops instead of the usual all-black gym gear. Trust us, once you try this vest, there’s no going back.

The essential sleep tracker

Oura Ring 4 Ceramic

The Oura Ring 4 is one of those life-changing tools you don’t realize you need until you have it. And while it looks like a chic piece of jewelry, it’s basically a wellness oracle for your finger. It’s slightly thinner and more comfortable than its predecessor (thanks to recessed sensors) and now comes in a zirconia-ceramic finish in four wear-with-anything shades. Yes, it’s incredible for sleep (it tracks eight measurements, including how deeply you’re sleeping, how often you wake and how efficient it is – and, as a result, gives you a score so you’ll know why you feel groggy or great come morning), but it also goes way beyond bedtime. It keeps tabs on your stress, recovery, activity, resting heart rate, body temperature and even your menstrual cycle, then rolls it all into a daily readiness score that tells you whether today’s a HIIT day or a slow-walk-and-early-night situation. What’s more, the battery lasts up to eight days, and the app feels like a supportive, not shouty, health coach. Case in point: if you really want to understand your body, this is the gadget to wear.

The lighted makeup mirror

Simplehuman Sensor Mirror Round

This is one truly luxurious mirror that will transform how you apply your makeup for the better. In brushed silver (it comes in sleek matte black and glossy brass, too) it looks chic on a vanity, but it’s the tech that really sells it. The 5x magnification is essential for getting every detail just right (as well as spotlighting every pore and hair – consider yourself warned!), while the Tru-Lux light system uses surgical-grade LEDs to mimic the sun’s full color spectrum, so what you see in the mirror is what you’ll actually get outside. A smart sensor means the mirror lights up as you lean in, and swipe controls let you adjust its brightness or switch from full sunlight to flattering candlelight (great for knowing when you need to add a little more drama to your look). Rechargeable and perfectly sized to see your entire face at once, you’ll genuinely wonder how you ever got makeup to look this naturally flawless before.

The supercharged face steamer

Sarah Chapman Pro Hydro-Mist Steamer

If your skin has been looking tired or dull, this state-of-the-art face steamer will revive your complexion in mere minutes. Skin steaming is an age-old beauty hack that really works to hydrate, plump and give skin a natural lit-from-within glow – and this advanced tool makes it ridiculously easy to do it at home. It uses nano-sized steam particles to gently soften skin (spoiler: pores don’t technically ‘open’, but they do become more pliable) and make it more receptive to any serums, creams and masks you apply afterwards. Compact, portable and smart enough to automatically switch off after five minutes, it delivers the best results when used to prime skin for a more thorough cleanse, as part of your pre-event prep or before masking to help ingredients penetrate even deeper.

The ultimate skin toning tool

ZIIP Halo

Think of the ZIIP Halo as a workout for your face and the tool to reach for when you want truly instant results. Using ‘dual waveform’ technology (microcurrent to stimulate muscle activity and nanocurrent to boost collagen production and skin cell regeneration), it sends gentle electrical currents through your facial muscles to lift, sculpt and de-puff. You’ll need ZIIP’s specially formulated conductive gel and the app to help you tailor each 4-minute treatment to your current needs, depending on whether you want cheekbone definition, a jawline snatch or a general glow. Whichever you chose, the results are immediate: skin looks tighter, fresher and more contoured after one session. Plus, it can be paired with other LED or laser-based tools (such as the LYMA Pro) for total skin rejuvenation.
