Would You Let a Robot Give You a Facial?
You'd be hard pressed to find an industry that hasn't been impacted by artificial intelligence. From scheduling and customer service to delivery options and even healthcare, AI is changing how we do business. It's also changing how we do beauty. There's Sephora's AI-powered recommendations that analyse customer data to suggest relevant products. Nimble is a new product on the market that uses AI and 3D scanning technology to give you a personalised shellac manicure in 20 minutes. And then there's AI that develops personalised skincare products and routines. In the area of hyper-personalisation, technology that allows for customised skincare sounds like a beauty-lovers dream. But could there be a downside? Here's what Nadia Aminian, celebrity facialist and senior aesthetician at Taktouk Clinic, has to say: 'Currently, aestheticians often use AI at the beginning of a facial, with skin scanning devices. AI can help create a bespoke facial, by identifying areas that need a bit more love for an overall rejuvenated look,' she explains. 'It's also used in high-tech treatments, like Exion Face, which uses a unique combination of monopolar radiofrequency and an AI controlled energy delivery system. This enables a deeper tissue penetration, without requiring full needle insertion while doing Fractional Radio frequency.' However, nothing beats a hands-on approach. 'There's just something about a practitioner's touch,' she adds. 'AI can't replicate energy or understand pressure points. I also don't fully trust AI when it comes to skincare, because actually touching and feeling the skin is such a critical part of a good facial.' While she sees AI as being a beneficial supporting tool for beauty treatments, she cautions clinics and aestheticians alike from becoming too reliant on them. 'A skin expert needs to touch a person's skin in order to do a proper analysis, because how skin feels plays such a significant role in how healthy it is,' she says. She also worries that an over-reliance on AI for diagnosim skin concerns could hinder newer aestheticians' growth and expertise. And she's not wrong for these concerns. A recent MIT study showed that long-term use of ChatGPT could have detrimental impact on critical thinking skills. So while artificial intelligence is effectively streamlining menial tasks, it also runs the risk of reducing talent development and expertise.

Major retailer slashes Shark SmoothStyle wet-to-dry hot brush by 51% to lowest EVER price
SHARK just reduced its popular SmoothStyle hair tool to its lowest ever price in the Amazon Prime Day sale. The wet-to-dry hot brush is reduced by a huge 51%, taking it down from £99.99 to £49.49 for a limited time. Shark SmoothStyle Heated Brush & Comb, £49.49 (was £99.99) BUY HERE Shark is one of the best-loved brands when it comes to tech tools, and it broke into the beauty world to rival the iconic Dyson Airwrap with its FlexStyle air styler. The Shark SmoothStyle is another of its beauty tech gadgets, which can be used on wet and dry hair to create sleek styles. It's a hot brush and smoothing comb in one, so beauty fans can use the heated comb to dry the hair and add volume, while the ceramic-coated plate adds a smooth finish. The styler has two modes for wet and dry hair, along with three air temperatures. If you're looking to invest in a heated hair tool and are unsure which one to choose, you can read our tried-and-tested roundup of the best hot brushes and the best hair straighteners. Shark SmoothStyle Heated Brush & Comb, £49.49 (was £99.99) BUY HERE Amazon shoppers have been raving about the Shark tool online. One reviewer wrote: "This is honestly the best hair tool I have used, I've had other very highly rated brands that did a good job but this Shark SmoothStyle is another level. The hairdryer in this brush is as powerful as my salon hairdryer and the brush barrel is large so you get the salon blow-out effect. I love the look the hot comb gives for days in between washes, and my hair honestly looks and feels like I've been to the hairdressers every time I use it. I will say it's a little heavier than other hot brushes but the quality is outstanding and I might get a glove for when I use the comb part as it does get hot - but overall, it's outstanding." The SmoothStyle is one of the many beauty deals available in the Amazon Prime Day sale, which is running from 8-11 July. Some of the other top deals for beauty fans include the Dyson Airwrap I.D, which is reduced by £80. Haircare fans have also been racing to shop Color Wow's viral Dream Coat Spray that's down by 41%, while St Tropez's popular Express fake tan is reduced by a staggering 63% to £12. The big shopping event is seeing prices being slashed across all categories, including tech, home and garden and fashion. Deals are constantly changing, and we're anticipating mass sell-outs of some of the top bargains.

The Dyson Airwrap I.D is literally my prized possession and it's been slashed by £80 for Prime Day
AMAZON has been dropping some incredible deals for its Prime Day sale, and I've spotted a huge discount one of the beauty world's best-loved products. The Dyson Airwrap I.D has been slashed by an impressive £80 for the shopping event, taking it down from £479.99 to £399.99. Dyson Airwrap i.d. Multi-Styler and Dryer, £399.99 (was £479.99) The air styler is the most sought-after beauty tech tool, so it's rare to see it be slashed so significantly. I got my Dyson Airwrap I.D earlier this year and I can honestly say that it's transformed my haircare routine. After years of trying and failing to master the art of a bouncy blow-out, the Airwrap's user-friendly design has been a game-changer for me. The I.D is an upgraded version of the original model, which can be controlled through your smartphone. Using the Dyson app, beauty fans are able to create a personalised styling routine, which makes the Airwrap switch between the settings automatically. It comes with a storage case and six attachments, including two of the iconic auto-wrap barrels. Dyson Airwrap i.d. Multi-Styler and Dryer, £399.99 (was £479.99) BUY HERE There are two versions designed for either straight/ wavy hair or curly/ coil hair, with different attachments to suit each hair type. Both versions have been slashed to £399.99 in the Amazon Prime sale, but it's unclear how long the deal will be running. For more information on the viral buy, you can ready my full review of the Dyson Airwrap I.D. The hair drying nozzle and the 40mm curling barrel are my go-to attachments for creating bouncy curls, and I've found the key to ensuring the style stays in place all day is to use a mousse while the hair is still wet. My favourite is the Color Wow Xtra Large Bombshell Volumiser, which is also on sale for Amazon Prime Day. It's reduced by an impressive 43% right now, so shoppers can pick it up for £13.68 instead of £24. You can follow The Sun's live blog for all the top Amazon Prime Day deals as they come in. Amazon's shopping extravaganza is live from 8-11 July, but deals are constantly changing. There are plenty of incredible beauty deals currently in the Amazon sale, including Color Wow's viral Dream Coat Spray that's been slashed by 41%. The multifunctional spray works to fight frizz and give a glossy finish to the hair once it's been activated by heat. Fake tan fanatics have also been rushing to pick up the cult St. Tropez One Hour Express Tan, and it's at its lowest price of £12.25 for a 200ml bottle that usually costs £33.
