Cut down on the time you spend in front of the mirror, with these six labour-saving grooming devices
KLHIP
The price might make your eyes water as much as if you’d had a mishap with your free “Christmas cracker” clippers, but these award-winning nail clippers have been crafted to stay on show (not at the back of the drawer amongst the cotton buds) and they’re ergonomically near perfect. Combining a better leverage system, ease of control and top-class stainless-steel hull, they are the king of clippers. £49.99
NO!NO! SKIN
Squeezing and scrubbing aren’t going to rid your skin of those troublesome spots, but this smart, light-emitting gadget has been lauded by many to do just that effectively. By sending a shine deep into the pore, a healing process is started and the heat opens up pores to soothe inflammation. Quick and easy to use, this is one very long-overdue piece of kit. £132
SCHOLL VELVET SMOOTH EXPRESS PEDI ELECTRONIC FOOT FILE
Our feet do the most work of any part of our body on a daily basis, but they’re often overlooked when it comes to grooming. This new roller gadget gets to work removing the dead skin from the base of your feet, taking the graft out of using that manual, paddle-shaped device and making your soles feel blissfully smooth. £29.99
TRIA FACE & BODY LASER 4X HAIR REMOVAL SYSTEM
There are hair removal options aplenty on the shelves, but none offering the longevity of results that a laser treatment system can, and this is the only cordless system for home use. Using the same diode technology as dermatologists, the 4X delivers permanent removal with an intelligent digital display and pulse counter, to give the user extra confidence to treat face and body. Since its recent launch, it’s proving pretty popular. £363
GILLETTE FUSION PROGLIDE STYLER
As razor makers have discovered they can’t possibly add any more blades for even closer shaves, they’ve decided to get smart and create multi-use shaving systems, and here’s a most valiant effort. The five blades give a super-close shave, as good as any cut-throat experience. Then there’s a super-accurate single blade on the rear for edging those sideburns, and combs to trim your beard to within an inch of its life. £19.99
