Our 10 Favorite Beauty Gadgets of 2018
2018 saw an explosion of incredible beauty gadgets, much to our delight.
Long gone are the days of simple facial cleansing brush. Now there's a beauty accessory for just about every aliment you might face (pun intended), be it acne, hair creases or unwanted facial hair.
Extra? Absolutely. But we wouldn't trade our cult-worthy beauty tools for anything. Below is the definitive ranking of our fave beauty gadgets this year.
Slip Silk Scrunchies: $39
The most genius and necessary beauty creation this year: the silk scrunchie. Not only do these beauties look good, but the silk doesn't pull on your hair and never leaves a crease. Whether you're heading to a yoga class or just pulling your hair back before bed, these silk babies have you covered.

Foreo Luna 2 Cleansing Brush: $139
Facial cleansing brushes are nothing new, but Foreo really upped the ante and educated us on the bacteria and grime that builds up in a standard facial cleansing brush with bristles. We love FOREO's Luna 2 cleansing brush that's anti-microbial, anti-aging and pairs well with your fave cleanser.

Skin Gym Jade Roller: $32
It's hard to imagine life pre-jade rolling. This ancient Chinese ritual quickly became a staple in our skincare routines and we haven't looked back since! Great for increasing blood and lymphatic circulation, de-puffing and soothing, there's no better way to end a long school week than with a sheet mask, Netflix and jade rolling.
