10 best face massage tools for sculpted, toned and soothed skin
The best face massage tools come in various shapes and sizes, but all aim to lift and tone skin to create extra elasticity and reduce puffiness. When it comes to choosing the best tool for you, it all comes down to preferred techniques and skin concerns. But how do face massage tools actually work? Well, it's all to do with lymphatic drainage, which helps reduce any toxin build-up. This, in turn, promotes healthier-looking and -feeling skin. Popular picks include the flat stone gua sha, which is a Chinese massage tool designed to stimulate soft tissue circulation and increase blood flow. Other tools take the form of rollers, wands and even vibrating facial massagers. They're made from various materials, including amethyst, jade and zinc, for additional wellbeing benefits. But what makes each option unique? I'm here to help you find out, as I've been busy testing a range of options. So, whether you're looking to firm up fine lines or indulge in some deep face-massage relaxation, keep reading to find the best facial massage tool for you. How we tested I sampled several facial massage tools over a month's testing and explored different techniques with each. I trialled massagers with simple instructions and video demonstrations to target tension, reduce puffiness and tone skin.

Eyeing the Dyson Supersonic Nural Hair Dryer? It's Now at the Lowest Price I've Seen
I recently received the Dyson Supersonic Nural as a gift, and I'm not being dramatic when I say I let out a gasp when I unwrapped it. This thing had been sitting on my wishlist for months, but I never thought I'd actually own it. It felt like someone had handed me the crown jewels of hair tools. (Thanks, Mom!) Fast-forward a few months and I can confidently say I'm obsessed with it. This isn't one of those fancy gadgets that ends up collecting dust in the back of a drawer or closet. I use it almost daily, and every time I do, I think, "Whoa, this really is that good." The Dyson Supersonic Nural hair dryer usually isn't on sale. In fact, it's almost never on sale. But right now is the exception because for a limited time, you can find the Dyson Supersonic Nural on sale on Amazon for $399, a 20% discount from its usual $500 price tag. That's its lowest price yet -- and this discount isn't likely to return anytime soon. For more Memorial Day deals, explore our roundup of all the live sales now, and these top Memorial Day mattress deals. Hey, did you know? CNET Deals texts are free, easy and save you money. How I use my super speedy Dyson hair dryer Drying my hair used to be a whole production -- arms aching, sweating and annoyed by the end, and still somehow left with frizz and fly-aways. Now, it takes me under 10 minutes, which still kind of blows my mind. I have thick, slightly longer than shoulder-length hair that holds onto moisture like it's a job, so this is no small feat. The Nural model has this cool feature where it senses how close it is to your scalp and adjusts the heat automatically. I didn't really get what that meant until I used it. Basically, it stops me from roasting my roots while still drying everything quickly. I usually start with the smoothing nozzle when I want a sleek look, but if I'm feeling lazy or just running late, I'll just rough-dry with no attachment at all. On days when I decide to lean into my natural texture, the diffuser is a game-changer when I scrunch my hair into waves. It doesn't flatten out my curls or make them frizzy like my old dryer did. It's also a lot quieter than I expected and super lightweight. I've dried my whole head while half-asleep, coffee (or wine if it's the evening) in one hand, Dyson in the other. It really is that easy. Why the Dyson makes a gasp-worthy gift Honestly, this is one of those things I never would've bought for myself (hello, price tag), but now that I have it, I can't imagine going back. It's the ultimate "treat yourself" item, but in this case, someone else treated me and I'll never stop being grateful. If you're looking for a gift that feels luxurious yet practical, this checks all the boxes. Especially now that it's on sale at the lowest price ever. Seriously, now's the time. My final thoughts The Dyson Supersonic Nural isn't just hype; it's genuinely made my hair styling better. I don't dread drying my hair anymore. In fact, I kind of enjoy it? Which, for me, is pretty amazing. If you're on the fence about it or you've been eyeing it forever like I was, this Memorial Day sale might just be the nudge you need. If you're looking for other fun gifts, here are our favorite kitchen gifts under $50. You can also read my reviews of my favorite Everything Maker, and my favorite coffee and espresso system.
