If you've got your eye on all these at-home skin-tightening devices promising to lift and snatch your face, but you have no idea which ones actually work, I tested pretty much every one so you don't have to. I'm 49, I've never had a facelift, and I've spent tens of thousands of dollars figuring out which at-home devices are worth the money, which are a total waste, and the $6,000 one I'd never buy again. Get the free At-Home Device Cheat Sheet. Which device fixes what, how to use each, and the 3 questions to ask before you spend a dollar. Want Your Free Personalized Hot AF Plan? Take the quiz.Join The Vanity Club.

Use code MYSELF for 15% off.Devices I Use & Love:NuFACE Trinity (microcurrent) ZIIP (microcurrent, jowls + custom routines) Dermalux Flex MD (red light panel) Omnilux men's mask (red light, deeper wavelength) CurrentBody Skin RF (radiofrequency)NIRA Pro laser (face, neck, larger areas)NIRA Precision laser (eyes + lips)(My discount codes for these are inside The Vanity Club.) This one is for every woman who keeps getting told to just age gracefully and accept it. I'm a skincare founder and a certified clinical nutritionist, and I've spent $1.3 million figuring out what actually works on a face, including a vanity full of at-home devices I bought so you don't have to.First, I get into the one mistake that makes women waste the most money, which is shopping for a device before you know what you're actually trying to fix, and why the device that improves your skin is not the one that lifts your face. Then I walk you through every category I've tested- microcurrent, red light, radiofrequency, at-home lasers, and microneedling, and I tell you exactly which bucket each one lands in and what it's actually worth using for.Then I get to the part you came for. The $6,000 device I'd skip in a heartbeat, the one I'd never use on my own face, the melasma warning nobody gave me before I started, and if you took every device I own tonight, the only three I'd buy again tomorrow.FOLLOW CYNTHIA GARCIAInstagram: @iamcynthiagarciaTikTok: @iamcynthiagarciaFacebook: @iamcynthiagarciaWebsite: cynthiagarcia.comREWRITTEN BEAUTYInstagram: @wearerewrittenFacebook: @wearerewrittenWebsite: rewrittenbeauty.comINSTITUTE OF TRANSFORMATIONAL NUTRITIONInstagram: @transformationalnutritionFacebook: @transformationalnutritionWebsite: transformationalnutrition.com #skintightening #athomedevices #redlighttherapy #microcurrent #radiofrequency #looseskin #jowls #beautyover40 #skincareover40 #womenover40 #antiaging #over40 #idliketothankmyself
