Press-on acrylic nails from iPolish change color electrochemically via a wand connected to a phone, offering 400 colors, reusable and affordable.
Haircare counters are getting smarter, too: Kérastase is rolling out K-Scan in selected airport counters (sadly not in the UK, just yet) - a smart AI-powered tool that analyses hair and scalp health on the spot, while L'Oréal Paris has introduced its Fly & Glow bar, complete with LED masks for in-airport rejuvenation. Over at La Roche-Posay, screens now show real-time protection levels via split-skin imaging - a surprisingly addictive bit of science-meets-self-care.
And in 2025, they really did. Brands embraced innovation and personalization in a major way: tools became infinitely more intuitive, skin care turned more tech-forward, and makeup leaned into buildable pigments that work for you, not against you. So, when it comes to figuring out which products are actually worthy of gifting (or, let's be honest, keeping for yourself), consider this your cheat sheet to the very best in beauty from 2025.
Nanoleaf is getting serious about its expansion into beauty tech, adding two new LED red light-emitting devices to its product lineup. The company says that its new Light Therapy Wand brings "the benefits of a professional facial into the palm of your hand," while its new Light Therapy Panel uses 160 "high-focus LEDs" to provide whole body care. While Nanoleaf is better known for its popular range of smart home lighting tech, it started applying its lighting expertise to beauty gadgets with the introduction of its $150 LED face mask at CES this year. Other home-focused companies like Dyson and Shark have similarly jumped into the world of beauty products, respectively launching popular hair-drying and styling tools.
