Beauty bloggers are always looking for the next big thing or latest craze but sometimes it’s a little closer than you think. That’s right, this season’s hottest beauty accessory might actually already be on your nightstand.
Plus, I actually try my favorite “personal massager” for legit personal massage (as in not just a vibrator!). You’ve heard about the vibrator in your beauty regimen trend – so find out how you can integrate it into your self-care and wellness habits…
#1. Good (Facial) Vibes: How to use your vibrator in your beauty regimen…
Jade rollers, charcoal masks – just when you thought the beauty world was running out of tricks, here comes the latest must-have addition to your wall of self-care tools: your vibrator.
While self-care isn’t usually orgasmically good, the potential for a good cross-over is there. With plush silicone cases and intense rumbling vibrations, personal massagers like Touch X are popping up more and more regularly in people’s routines. Rather than head to the spa for a treatment that will ensure you can’t make eye contact with your bank account for a week, try upping your at-home game.
That’s right, your trusty vibe is just as handy in front of the bathroom mirror as in your bed. I tried Touch X as an exfoliator and paired it with a fancy face scrub. And whoa, the results speak for themselves.
Sometimes it can feel a little grainy even after you’ve rinsed your face for the 11th time, but with the help of Touch X, shedding the excess scrub took minimum effort and felt maximum good. And don’t worry, just because you’ve taken the toy out of the bedroom, that doesn’t mean it can’t go back. The plush silicone is not nice to touch, it’s also incredibly easy to clean!
#2 Brush It Off: How to clean your make up brushes with a vibrator
How often do you clean your make up brushes? Honestly? For me, I knew I had left it a bit too long when I could see hints of my summer foundation and concealer well into winter. Aside from giving me an unwanted hint of orange in my makeup, the leftover concealer and foundations are just not hygienic. There are a few brush cleaners on the market but I thought, “Hey, why buy some intense vibrating tool when I already have a few options on my nightstand?”
I decided to pop my brushes in some cosmetic cleaning solution to soak and tried out some vibrators to shake some of that gunk loose and accelerate the process. While the first few I tried out didn’t seem powerful enough, the Touch X instantly made some ripples – literally!
After the excess of Xmas and all that seasonal shopping, this is truly the time that saving a few extra dollars really counts so discovering the versatility of Touch X felt better than ever!
#3 Body Massager: How to use your vibrator as a massager (no, really!)
While vibrators are already branded as “personal massagers” it’s rare that this is actually their intended purpose. Not the case with the new generation of mini-vibes. Over the New Year’s break, a reset (both mentally and physically) was necessary. To that end, I came up with the ultimate de-stressor combo. A map of the pressure points across the body and my own little Touch X mini vibe.
When Bono’s not available, who do you turn to? A mini vibe that can focus intense vibrations with unbelievable precision. While this toy is perfect for both me and my partner in bed, I wondered if it was just as impressive out of the sensual context. My New Year’s Day began like many others – on the couch with our feet up and a blanket protecting us from that pesky sunlight.
Rather than sit with that headache all day, I took the Touch X and did a quick google for pressure points online. After comparing a few, I tried out a gentle, low intensity and rubbed the vibrator in small circles around Hegu, the pressure point located between the thumb and forefinger. After a few minutes, the dull ache in my head began to ease and I knew I had stumbled onto gold!
