It’s officially gift guide season! Oprah Winfrey recently released her annual “Favorite Things” list, and Gwyneth Paltrow unveiled her comprehensive Goop gift guide—another comprehensive guide we look forward to every year for its exciting selection of luxury beauty and wellness products. Below, we’ll highlight five of the most luxurious options to consider—whether as holiday gifts or just for fun.
We know firsthand the benefits of the LYMA laser for at-home use, and celebrities know firsthand how to use it before red carpet events like the Met Gala. As founder Lucy Goff previously told NewBeauty, “Typical at-home devices are about 5 milliwatts. This is 500 milliwatts, which is 100 times more powerful than LEDs.” It’s marketed as a medical-grade device, meaning it’s closer to a clinical treatment than other, more expensive at-home LED options.
If you care about your health, you’ve probably heard of infrared saunas. The most obvious benefit of this type of sauna is that you can enjoy all the benefits of a sauna in your own home, without having to purchase a membership. Yes, it’s a significant investment, but if you plan to use it regularly, it’s worth every penny. This luxurious unit includes everything you need for a sweat session, even a seat and an exfoliating body brush.
According to HigherDose, wearing the brand’s red light-protective cap for just 10 minutes a day can improve blood flow to the scalp, “thereby reducing hair loss, optimizing follicle function, and promoting hair growth.” While more research is needed to fully confirm its benefits, it’s already earned Courteney Cox’s stamp of approval. (She debuted the product on Instagram this summer.) New York City dermatologist Orit Markowitz, MD, previously told NewBeauty, “Red light masks have been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties (for the skin), while similar wavelengths of red light can stimulate hair growth.”
The LED device has gained popularity among celebrities and beauty enthusiasts on social media due to its effectiveness and selfie-friendly features. This full-face mask combines red and blue LED lights: red light stimulates collagen production for firmer, younger-looking skin, while blue light prevents acne.
