It’s not enough these days to just rely on your multi-step skin-care routine—devices of both the electrical and manual variety have taken over the vanities of nearly every beauty devotee we know. The benefit of these tools is varied, but generally they aim to increase your circulation, combat the effects of gravity, drain toxins, and stimulate your muscles for brighter, tighter skin. Most are meant to be used in the morning after cleansing—you deserve to face the day with your cheekbones cut to perfection—but truly, any time you want to pamper yourself and indulge in some much-deserved self-care, these rollers, lights, and more will only make your experience more enjoyable. If you’re interested in joining team beauty tool but aren’t quite sure where to start, these are the 16 this editor is loving right now.

Franz Face Mask, $80
Microcurrent devices are still all the rage in skin-care tools, and for good reason—the pulsating electrical currents can lift, sculpt, reduce inflammation, and reduce redness. But this new mask, which took five years and a team of scientists in Korea to develop, offers all of those benefits without the need for an electrical pulse. Patented technology will allow the mask to push the accompanying serum’s ingredients (like retinyl palmitate, a gentle retinol, and hyaluronic acid, among others) deeper into the skin for maximum effectiveness. That means you’ll be glowing and your fine lines will be lessened, all while you chill with the mask for 25 minutes. Is it a tool, is it a mask? We think it’s both! And yes, it is sadly sold out at the moment, but we predict it will get restocked—fast—so check back often.
