10 of the best beauty tools

By Yanar Alkayat

The best beauty tools we love right now...

1.    Remington epilator

Hair removal is admittedly a boring beauty chore so why not get epilating for hair-free legs for up to three weeks. Don\'t be put off by stories of pain though, it doesn\'t take long to get used to the short, sharpish pinch and once you do, you\'ll be out showing those pins off.

£49.99, available from Boots and Argos nationwide

2. Magic Wand

No, it\'s not a kinky sex toy this is a facial massager! Move lightly around the forehead, eye area and out towards the ears to rejuvenate skin and tone the muscles, particularly good for post-party puffiness.

3. No!No!

Hair removal just got high-tech with the latest offering Stateside. A sleek tool that removes hairs painlessly at point of contact but then a thermal heat is sent to reduce hair follicle growth. Eventually hair growth gets weaker and hair removal gets that little bit easier.

£140, exclusively at Selfridges

4. Leighton Denny Crystal File

Getting your talons in pristine condition couldn\'t be easier with this smart crystal nail file. It can be swept in any direction you like (the great benefit of crystal files) while it seals and strengthens the nail edge. An indispensible handbag tool.

£14, leightondenny.co.uk

5. Too Faced Kabuki brush

Kabuki brushes have a shorter and denser head of hairs than most, making them ideal for mineral make-up. This pretty kabuki also boasts a clever coat to keep it clean in your makeup bag and non-animal hair for the conscious shopper.

£19, available Boots, House of Fraser and Debenhams

6. Laura Mercier Brush Cleaner

Give this handy cleaner a little place on your dresser table and your brushes, and face, will thank you for it. Just a few simple squirts every couple of weeks on the tip of your brushes and not only will makeup application be improved, but skin will be cleaner and brushes will have a longer life too.

£14, available at Selfridges

7. Paula Dorf makeup brushes

Made by makeup artist to the stars and loved by beauty experts worlwide, these hand-cut brushes use cruelty-free methods to gather hair clippings and feel divine on the face.

9. Body brush

No beauty regime would be complete without a daily dose of body brushing. Yes, you\'ve heard it all before but it kicks the lymphatic drainage system into action and before you know it, skin is seriously cellulite-free.

£7, available at The Body Shop

10. Japanese body cloths

Whether prepping skin for hols or simply maintaining its glow, this beauty tool is the ultimate bathroom accessory for seriously smooth skin. Just scrub daily and see the results.
