Today there are several different cleansing devices to choose from. Honestly, choosing one is very subjective. Your skin type and lifestyle will dictate which device is more appropriate for you. While it is not realistic to think that everyone can own both, I am fortunate enough to own and use both daily. Both devices have their own unique purpose in my skin care regiment. The time of the day, my current skin concern, and my mood all determine which device I reach for. The Clarisonic There is a reason this is the top selling device. This deep cleansing tool has a cult like following. Dermatologists recommend it and some estheticians use it within their facial services. The Clarisonic is a go-to when you want the feeling of a really deep cleanse from bristles. $119 I use my Clarisonic Mia every night after I remove my makeup.Just like your vehicle needs regular maintenance to ensure it is in excellent running condition, so does the Clarisonic. The device must be washed thoroughly after each use and allowed to dry. Once a week the brush head should be soaked for 5 minutes in either alcohol or hydrogen peroxide, or better yet, ask your Esthetician to soak it in Barbicide while you are having your brows sculpted or receiving a facial.  Just like your toothbrush, the brush head on the Clarisonic must be disposed of and replaced every three months. Most people will only need the sensitive brush head, which is the brush included with purchase. If you or your teen are in any way lazy or lack in the hygiene department, the Clarisonic may not be right for you as you risk re-depositing bacteria on your skin if the Clarisonic is not properly maintained. Also, if you are a busy person and do not have the time to charge your Clarisonic twice a month, over night, you may find yourself in the position I recently did while on vacation. On the second day into my trip, my Clarisonic did not have a charge and I had to use my hands to cleanse for the remainder of my vacation. The FOREO LUNA While newer to the market, the FOREO Luna is soon to be as well known as the Clarisonic. It is low maintenance due to the fact it is made from non-porous silicone, meaning it cannot harbor and grow bacteria. There are no brush heads to replace. You can get up to 450 uses off one charge. The full size Luna’s and the Luna Mini are perfect for anyone on the go. The Luna Mini is perfect for teens and uses a USB to charge.  $139 Depending on how my skin feels, I use either my Luna Mini or the Luna Ultra-sensitive every morning. There is an added feature to all of the full sized Luna’s, that being the anti-aging low frequency mode. This low, sonic vibration relaxes residual muscle tension, lessening the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and improves skin’s firmness.  I recommend the full sized Luna for anyone who is concerned about premature aging and sagging skin. $199.99 After my bedtime cleanse, I use my Ultra-Sensitive Luna in the anti-aging mode to help penetrate my night serums to my face, neck, décolleté and the backs of my hands.Whether you choose the FOREO Luna or The Clarisonic, you are receiving multiple benefits. Cleansing devices are more effective than hand washing alone at removing dirt, makeup and other impurities. You can choose any cream or gel based cleanser of your choice. The Clarisonic and the FOREO Luna both use sonic technology, unlike the drugstore brand cleansing brushes that simply rotate and rely on batteries you must frequently replace. Both devices are completely waterproof and the best part of all- because you received a more thorough cleanse, all your other products go on smoother, penetrate better and give you better results than ever before.  Blog Written by askderm's in house Esthetician Chantal MoniqueChantal Monique is a NYS licensed Esthetician and Makeup Artist.

FOREO has made several changes to their original FOREO Luna devices - they recently released their 2nd generation LUNA devices. What makes these 2nd Generation devices different from the original LUNA devices? 36% thicker silicone for a plusher and softer body that feels wonderful to hold and use, and better diffuses T-Sonic™ and anti-aging pulsations for enhanced results 50% larger brush head covers more area for more efficient cleansing 26% longer touch-points are gentler on the skin and improve reach so no area is left un-cleansed FOREO LUNA PLAY The Luna Play, is Foreo's smallest device.

The original LUNA has eight different speeds while the Luna 2 has twelve. The reverse anti-aging side has 10 rings on the LUNA 2 covers more surface space which allows for faster coverage of the entire face.

From the brand that brought you silicone sonic skincare cleansing, FOREO is now venturing into the market of oral care with the launch of ISSA. ISSA is revolutionizing the electric toothbrush that has seemingly remained unchanged since its initial release during the 1960s. ISSA’s sonic pulse technology creates 11,000 high-intensity pulsations per minute for effective cleaning, while its silicone bristles are gentle enough for the most sensitive mouths. The Silicone Difference Unlike conventional manual toothbrushes and electric toothbrushes, the ISSA brush head is completely comprised of silicone. Silicone is non-porous, meaning it is not a hospitable atmosphere for bacteria to grow and thrive. An ISSA toothbrush will host 10,000 times less bacteria than a regular toothbrush. The ISSA is both hygienic and hypoallergenic. The silicone bristles are extremely gentle, making this brush perfect for anyone who deals with gum sensitivity, brushing too roughly or has a receding gum line. Other Features and Benefits ISSA’s ergonomically designed brush is waterproof and can be easily used in the shower. It takes only an hour for the ISSA to fully charge, unlike most electric toothbrushes. A fully charged ISSA will provide 365 uses, meaning you only have to charge it once every six months. Because the charge lasts for such an extended time and the brush is extremely hygienic, the ISSA is perfect for travel. The brush heads between the ISSA and the ISSA mini are interchangeable, so if you prefer a smaller brush head, that option is available to you. The brush head only needs to be replaced once a year. ISSA helps you maintain a proper brushing routine by alerting you of when to switch to a new quadrant of your mouth. My Review My initial reason for being excited to try the ISSA definitely had to do with the fact that it is far more hygienic than a conventional toothbrush. Over the last several months, either myself, or my boyfriend have been sick and considering our toothbrushes are communal, I have been tossing out toothbrushes left and right. Cutting down on waste is extremely important to me and considering the ISSA is not a welcoming surface for bacteria to thrive, I am all about that! Also I travel quite frequently and when you are traveling, you are continuously packing away your toothbrush, which prevents it from airing out. Have you ever smelled your in-travel toothbrush?.....Don’t lie, you know you have and its gross! The ISSA caters to my germaphobic tendencies for sure. Secondly, I was impressed by how gentle the ISSA is. The day before I first used my ISSA, I ate a bowl of cereal, which completely cut up the roof of my mouth and had inflamed my lower gum line. When I brushed my teeth with my manual toothbrush, after that cereal oral assault, I experienced sensitivity and gum pain. The next time I brushed my teeth after that, and while my gum line was still inflamed, I used the ISSA. I experienced no pain what so ever! Overall I am impressed with the ISSA. I believe it is just as effective as a normal toothbrush, all while being far more hygienic. It will remain as part of my oral care routine. Try out the all-new FOREO Issa today.     Blog Written by askderm's in-house Esthetician  Chantal Monique is a NYS licensed Esthetician and Makeup Artist.

The Foreo Luna is changing the view of skin cleansing devices. It is more effective than hand cleansing alone because it delivers 8,000 pulses per minute. The sonic technology improves circulation and cellular turnover. The full sized versions have the added feature of an anti-aging low frequency mode. This delivers transdermal frequencies to stimulate collagen and elastin and helps relax the muscles that hold tension from repeated facial expressions.   The device itself is lightweight and only needs to be charged about twice a year. Because the Luna is made with non-porous silicone and cannot harbor bacteria, the Luna is hygienic and can be easily approved of and recommended by Estheticians.  It is gentle enough to use twice a day. My routine and recommendation for using the Luna has its applications in both my morning cleanse, bedtime cleanse and afterward in my nighttime treatment routine. Morning and night I use the Luna with a foaming cleanser. If you have very sensitive skin, I recommend using a cream cleanser. I concentrate on areas that need more exfoliation, like my nose and chin. When washing my neck and décolleté, I use the rippled wave, anti-aging side because there is less tugging on that delicate tissue. One cleanse is enough but if it is a day you are feeling like you need the benefits of a second cleanse, feel free but if your skin is more sensitive, use that same anti- aging side used for the neck. After cleansing, the Luna’s anti-aging mode is great for penetrating serum and treatment products. This device is not just for your face. My biggest area of concern when it comes to sun damage is my hands. They receive the most exposure, whether it is driving to the askderm office, or going to and from locations and clientele. So I use my Luna on the anti-aging mode to help penetrate high antioxidant oil into the backs of each hand to help fight free radical damage at night. If you are looking to streamline your skin care routine, the Foreo Luna may be a good option.  The device cleanses, exfoliates and addresses aging. Its’ cleanse is very effective. Many people find that they are too sensitized to the grit in facial scrubs. The Luna may help you limit yourself to one cleanser product rather than two as it does the exfoliating for you. When you have a deep and purifying cleanse then all your other products are more readily adsorbed into the skin and work better. So an initial investment may just save you money on treatments and products down the road.

I have been a fan since the moment we set eyes on this device at a beauty show in April. I personally LOVE mine and have several people completely hooked on this device! The range starts at $139 for the LUNA mini. This is great for ANYONE:  teenagers, men, travel, the gym & the beauty savvy guru on a budget. The LUNA ($199.99) is available in 3 colors that are targeted to your individual skin type, so this is a little more tricky for a present. They even have a LUNA for Men (also $199.99). The LUNA for Men is going to be the hottest new trend for men, not only does it promote healthy skin but it truly gives men the ultimate shave when you use this first! You will be surprised how much your guy will end up loving this fancy tool after they start using it! Then we have the all mighty and powerful LUNA Pro. The Pro is $299, but any skin type can use it & it has twin motors to really focus on both cleansing and anti-aging. Trust me. You will feel the difference immediately. This is currently a HOT item at askderm - mainly because we are lucky enough to be one of the only online retailers who sell the Pro! 2. Clarisonic is also no surprise to be on the list. It has and will continue to be one of the most popular gift giving items across the board! Teenagers, Woman, Men - basically everyone LOVES the Clarisonic! It has really turned into quite the big deal. We have devices ranging from $125 for the Mia all the way to the Aria that is $204. Don't forget if you gave someone a device last year - the Replacement Brush Heads are great stocking stuffers this year! We carry a large variety of Clarisonic accessories and devices so we have something for everyone! 3. meSmooth. I really can not tell you enough how exciting I am to be selling this product! It is truly one of the only at home professional laser hair removal systems on the market right now! I can personally tell you - this system ROCKS! I am only on week 5 of 7 treatments & I already am seeing actual results. How excited would someone you love be to receive this?! The WINTER is the PERFECT time to invest in this gadget! Why? Because - your all bundled up so no one notices your skin. How amazing would it be when spring and summer comes around to NOT have to shave! Not have to worry about your skin having stubble instead of being smooth? Oh and not have to pay THOUSANDS of dollars and make appointments and rush around during your "lunch break". Yup. Thats right. $395 for the device & $50 for replacement cartridges. 7 weeks to beautiful hair free skin! I wouldn't be so excited about this one if I didn't see the results myself. PLUS: you can absolutely share this! You can buy 1 device and each person get their own cartridge and viola instant savings! Ok. I could go on forever - but on to the next gift. 4. Osmosis Colour is our newest addition to our mineral makeup category. I have used everything from Jane Iredale, Bare Minerals, Colorescience, even products like ForeverMakeup. This is my new crush. I can't get enough. I am a simple lady when it comes to my makeup. I really like to look natural. I am also very busy with 2 toddlers. So simple, lightweight, natural, flawless coverage and long lasting is crucial to me. The Osmosis Colour is all of the above and more. Plus, this may sound really strange - but it smells AMAZING! I love how you can really build your coverage and by the end of the work day you still look how you did when you came in! This is starting to really expand too - perfect for Holiday Photos, Family Portraits, Senior Pictures coming up. It photographs flawlessly.  5. Nip+Fab Viper Venom Wrinkle Fix is on here for multiple reasons. Clearly its a hot new product. It is also flying off our shelves and is UNDER $20! Honestly I would suggest any Nip+Fab or Nip+Man product as a great stocking stuffer! It is an amazing line with a wide variety of products. I know I will be gifting it to my friends and family this year! 6. VB Beauty has a cool eye Sonic Infusor Tool that comes in a kit with a product. This neato device really helps correct and honestly relax the eye area! It works amazingly on puffy eyes (like I stated above - I have 2 toddlers & sometimes I wake up looking & feeling like a zombie so I grab for my VB Beauty Infusor tool to help get rid of those scary looking bags under my eyes). For $25 - on sale now for a limited time offer - you can NOT go wrong by getting this for your friends or family! 7. NIA 24 has a great kit called the Healthy Skin Regimen Kit. This is perfect for ALL skin types and for any age. The NIA 24 products are geared towards not only preventing and protecting but also correcting any signs of aging or damage done t your skin. So if you have any questions as to what type of skin or what skincare products your special person in your life would be using then I would highly suggest this. My personal FAV is the physical cleansing scrub. I can not live without this. It is life changing.8. TURO is all for the Man in your life. Or Men. I gave my guy the Starter Kit: Cleanse / Shave / Moisturize for his birthday this year and not only does he actually use it. He loves it. I may also sneak some of the body wash every once in a while because it just smells so good and your skin feels amazing! Men skincare is the biggest thing right now, even at the drugstore I have noticed Men's lines popping up all over. Keep your man looking slick with these products! He will thank you, even if he is hesitant to use it at first!9. Neostrata has a full range of very effective anti-aging products. They offer a Skin Active Comprehensive Antiaging Regimen that is a 4 piece kit that will offer great results and would be a great way to interdict anti-aging products to say, your mom or an aunt or co-worker! I am fast approaching the 30's so I do not necessarily need these items yet, but I have given them as gifts a few times and have received rave reviews of the product afterwards! 10. Last but not least is the Wilma Schumann Holiday Kit! This is a must have on this list! It comes in the cutest bag and is packed full of Wilma Schumann goodies! The Collagen Booster Pads will change your life, the O2 Oxygen Blu is great for all skin types and the Collagen 2000 & Liposome Eye Contour are perfect for anti-aging! This kit really does have it all and works for such a wide variety of skin types anyone would fall in love with it as a gift! So there is my list of whats hot this Holiday Season. Check the products out, if you have any questions or need more information just give a shout and we can help with your gift buying this Holiday Season! (Even if it is a present for yourself!) Stay beautiful.Dani. askderm bblogger.

If any of you are like me (and I know I can’t be the only one) you love gift giving but you hate trying to figure out what to get for everyone on your list. Let me introduce you to giving the gift of healthy, beautiful skin! Here are some of my top beauty picks for gifts to give this holiday season!    First we have to talk about the IPKN Artist Wave makeup applicator device. It is an absolute must have for every makeup lover on your list and I can bet anything my friends won’t be surprised when they find one from me under their Christmas trees this year. I cannot stop talking about it and I would never stop using it. I have fallen very much in love with this handy little item. It applies makeup beautifully no matter what type of makeup it is, all the way from primers to powder and every foundation and blush in-between. Oh, and did I mention it is down right adorable? Because it is! It is so small, it fits practically in the palm of my hand, making it perfect for all of my traveling as well, and is perfect for your globe trotting little cousin or your dignified business woman best friend. It is literally a gift that keeps on giving and it comes with batteries so it’s ready to use right out of the box.  Next up is the Clarisonic Mia 3  Sonic Skin Cleansing System. Now any Clarisonic system you get will be loved and adored by men and women a like. My personal favorite is the pink one, but they come in a variety of colors to suit everyone. Everyone I know who owns a Clarisonic is trying to get everyone who doesn’t, to get one because they love them! They clean skin six times BETTER than with hands alone. Plus they are great to really work your cleansing and exfoliating products into your skin AND they perfectly prepare your skin to really absorb and make the most out of your skincare products to follow. Everyone knows the Clarisonic brand and for good reason. This will definitely be a hot ticket item this holiday season, and not just for the ladies either.    Now for your friends who aren’t on the Clarisonic wagon, or even ones who are but love to use multiple tools to get their best skin ever, there is the Foreo Luna Pro. Again, this is a facial cleanser, and yes, this one also comes in multiple colors so it can be loved by everyone on your holiday gift list. A couple things that are sure to make this gift a hit, is not only it’s adorable size and portability, and not just the fact that its silicone coating makes it resistant to bacteria; but also the unique anti-aging technology it has. When you are using this device to cleanse your face, you are also fighting the signs of aging. Due to this technology, or as I like to call it, magic; the Foreo Luna pro massages and relaxes the facial muscles making fine lines and wrinkles do a vanishing act (only they don’t return), and increases circulation in the skin which boost the production of collagen and elastin to make the skin smoother and appear younger.   Okay, we can’t talk about gifts and anti-aging without bring up my new fascination, the Nuface Trinity Facial Trainer Kit.  This kit comes with everything your gift getter will need to improve the their facial contours at home, without the need for surgery . This device is so cool! I freaked out when I first watched the video on this. The device uses micro currents to sculpt and tone your facial contours, kind of like a work out for your face, only your face doesn’t have to do any of the work to get the results. Now if only working out the rest of the body were that easy.   Next we are going to talk about teeth, because I know what I want for Christmas and its pearly white teeth without having to go to the dentist every few months. Well guess what!? We have the perfect device for that! Meet the GLO Science GLO Brilliant Personal Teeth Whitening Device. This is another gift that is perfect for everyone on your list and could even be a gift to yourself this holiday season, because who doesn’t want stunning white teeth all year round. So for everyone on your list who drinks coffee, tea, wine or anything else that stains the teeth, this gift is for them. What I love about this device is that it is so fast, it delivers results of up to five shades whiter teeth in just 5 days! It is like magic watching it happen every day right before your eyes. The end result being teeth that are 8 shades whiter and you can forget about not wanting to drink all those yummy, warm, holiday beverages because this technology cuts the sensitivity so you don’t have to sacrifice anything for that beautiful smile. Also, and I feel like this should be said, it is just an adorable, portable, convenient device which makes it all the better for your holiday gift list. Now because I mentioned all these great skin care tools, we need to talk about the gift of skin care products. There are tons of great products out there and it can be overwhelming to try and pick just one, but remember that when you are looking to gift skincare products stay with a set all in the same line. So if you are going to pick Murad (and that is an amazing choice, everyone loves Murad) get all the products from Murad. If you are going to pick something from Nip+Fab  then get the whole Nip + Fab line. Not only will you look like a skin care hero but the products will work best together. I also really love Murad, they have a group of skincare products for everyone. Seriously, it ranges from Murad’s anti-aging products all the way to helping with acne-prone skin and all of their products (at least the ones I have tried) smell amazing without being overpowering. So if you have someone who is sensitive to smells, Murad is a great skincare gift. That being said here are my top 3 picks for skincare product lines. For anti-aging I love the Nip+Fab line, because not only do they have products for the face but also for the body and they deliver amazing results. I have always loved and always will love this line and I recommend it to people all the time. Lastly, but certainly not least, and possibly my favorite is the mybody line. I LOVE this line, they are so amazing, I have never seen results from a line so quickly and without irritation (because I have sensitive skin). I have raved on and on the past couple of weeks about the mybody myhero Anti-Aging Growth Factor Serum which is a personal favorite, but the whole line is out of this world amazing. The results blow my mind and this is possibly one of the easiest gifts to give of a set because they are color coded and they also are sold on the site in sets to address different needs so it takes the guesswork out of what to get. There are, of course, a ton of different brands and products to choose from and you can find literally anything but those are just my top 3. Lastly on this gift guide the gift of makeup. So we have spent all this time talking about gifts to give to beautify the skin and face and even teeth, but now we need to talk about the perfect gifts to enhance the natural beauty AND if you are going to give the IPKN artist wave (and you should) then what better to give with that then makeup! Conveniently enough, IPKN also have a makeup line which is my first choice to give with the IPKN device because they are going to work so well together and I love the formula of the IPKN foundations. The coverage is so perfect and they go on so smooth, like a dream. IPKN also have awesome mascaras and eyeliners and GORGEOUS lip colors so they are a must this holiday season.     There is also the option of Dermablend which is the best coverage of foundation I have ever used, it is VERY full coverage and a little goes a long way, but it lasts all day and anyone who wear makeup but especially those with skin conditions they are trying to hide, will really appreciate this as a gift. For lips, I especially love La Bella Donna lip glosses and lip crayons. Don’t get me started because I could go forever. EVERYONE will love these, everyone. The colors are amazing and the formula is the most perfect lipgloss formula I have ever used! So there you have it! A guide to the best beauty and skincare gifts this season. All of these products are so amazing and will be a hit with everyone. I love getting and giving the gift of beautiful healthy skin, and a lot of these products are on my holiday list as well, so you know I am serious about these products! Go check them out and get started on your holiday gift list, you’ll be giving gifts so good even Santa will be asking for YOUR help next year!     Blog Written by askderm's Beauty Blogger Sydney Nichole is a self-proclaimed beauty nerd.  She stays on top of the latest makeup, hair, and beauty trends.

Gift giving is fun but can be a tad difficult trying to find the right gifts and especially if it’s for members of the opposite sex.  The men in my life (Husband, father, sons, cousins, friends) are such different personalities and age ranges that sometimes the gift giving ideas take a little bit more time to find the right gifts.  Here is a great gift gifting guide for the men in your life, hopefully making the shopping process a bit easier! Guys Love Gadgets This type of gift is my favorite type to purchase because most guys love fun gadgets!  Why not pick up a gadget that is not only geared towards men but will improve their skincare routine (if they even have one, yet!) and help them achieve great skin.  Two cleansing brushes that are great gifts to pick up are the FOREO Luna Men cleansing brush and the Clarisonic Mia Sonic Skin Cleansing System Mens in Gray.  The Clarisonic has a rotating brush while the FOREO Luna is a vibrating brush that fits great in your palm.  Both products are geared towards men and their skin care needs for great immediate and long term skin health.  These cleansing brushes are small, simple and quick to use! Keep His Face Staying Soft and Smooth I love stocking stuffers! They are absolutely so much fun to come up with and purchase. Some of my favorite products I like to include in their stockings are shaving must haves since it will be used very often and is so much better for their skin rather than those cheap $3 cans of shaving cream that doesn’t do much for their skin’s health.  Razors, shaving creams, and aftershaves are great little gifts to fill their stockings.  I already purchased my hubby Dylan’s favorite shaving cream Lab Series Max Comfort Shaving Gel and an electric grooming system and trimmer.  These are great gifts that will be put to go use. Help Them Take Little Steps To Great Skin Health A lot of men like simplicity and won’t invest in skincare products for their face.  I know several men who wash their face with harsh soap because it’s easy and already there and I even know a couple who have admitted to applying rubbing alcohol on their acne to ‘help dry it out (omg! No! No! No!!!). Help the men in your life by providing them with the necessities and they can do the rest.  Now a days there are so many products geared towards men that it’s a no brainer in picking which is right for them.  Start off with a good face wash and moisturizer and help them achieve great, healthy skin.  Products such as Lab Series Multi-Action Face Wash and Lab Series Night Recovery Lotion are great for any guy and will help on improving overall skin health. For Those Fit Men In Your Life There are so many cool new products out there for those who love fitness and working out.  A line that has some great ideas is Nip And Man.  Nip and Man has products such as Power Workout Fix which has a soothing and relaxing effect for sore muscles after a great workout as well as their Nip and Man Ab Fix with Gemmoslim to help tighten, tone and help the appearance of abs.  These are not a quick, overnight fitness in a bottle but it will help them get a boost in their fitness results. Try Simple, Multipurpose Products Unlike women, most men rather not take lots of time and energy having an entire skin care routine each morning and evening so why don’t you make it easier for them by purchasing multipurpose products that could kill two birds with one stone. Some products out there that I found that seem to really help him by saving time are KLENSKIN Shower On Sunscreen SPF 30…yes you heard right…KLENSKIN is a shower on body wash, shampoo AND SPF 30! This is good especially for those active guys out there that are always on the run and gives them a bit more sun protection from head to toe…(but I’d add a topical sunscreen before leaving the house to give some extra UVA/UVB protection).   Another multipurpose product is AminoGenesis HEFF Man - Total Repair for Split, Cracked and Dry Hands, Elbows and Feet.  The HEFF Man has a manly look to its packaging so it’s not your typical heavy duty moisturizer and is great especially for those guys in your life that have hard, rough hands from working hard and won’t be seen at the spa getting a manicure or pedicure. Give them the treatment at home. These are some great gift ideas you can add to whatever other gifts you may purchase for your favorite guys in your life and help them in achieving a healthy face.  You are not only helping them improve their appearance at the moment but helping them slow down the aging process and have long term smoother, healthier skin.  Add some of their favorite snacks, video games and movies and you are set with a wonderful gift that will be enjoyed and appreciated even after the holidays are over.
