Anyway, unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ve probably heard excited whispers about Earth’s arrival. Dyson Air Straight (499.99 euros, Dyson eye). So what’s all the fuss about, you ask? Well, this is a wet to dry hair straightening tool that uses air and no hot plate, so it won’t damage your hair. I know it’s expensive, but you can’t put a price on keeping your hair healthy, and it’s really effective at keeping your hair smooth and dry, so I’m a fan.

I’m also a long time fan of GHD. GHD Chronos (329 euros, ghdhair.com) is a great new addition to the range. It also puts hair health at the forefront, with motion-responsive technology that continuously adapts to your styling movements. This means it provides thermal monitoring accuracy at an optimal temperature of 185°C for one-stroke HD results.

I recently went to the SharkNinja press conference to see what they have in store for us in the future. And yes, the Ninja Airfryer folks are the same ones who brought us Shark, and as you may already know, I’m a fan of them. Shark Speedstyle Full Suite (289.95 euros, brownthomas.com) Create a high-gloss finish with 5 styler attachments. I love using RapidGloss Finisher to get rid of frizz and flyaways in my hair.

Enough about hair, but what about skin?

Its low-level laser treatment reaches the underlying layers of the dermis, transforming skin from the inside out in just 12 weeks, and is endorsed by top facialists, dermatologists, and plastic surgeons. I know it’s expensive, but if you want a salon-quality treatment at home with zero recovery time, it’s a great investment in the long run.

And finally, these days you can’t go on Instagram without seeing Victoria Beckham, Trinny Woodall, and Kate Lawler wearing red LED masks. Light therapy is all the rage. It works by sending light waves deep into the layers of the skin, triggering natural intracellular reactions at a molecular level.irish brand Haumea Skincare’s phototherapy mask device (149.99 euros, HaumeaSkincare.com) Promotes skin health, stimulates collagen production and reduces signs of aging.
