SELF-CARE TECH
This section is all about devices that contribute to the rise of DIY beauty. With more time spent at home, consumers are indulging in, and mastering, beauty treatments enhanced by the latest augmented reality (AR) and artificial intelligence (AI) technologies, including devices complemented by virtual consultations and personalised data.
The A.I Vibration Therapy by Waveon (South Korea) features AI-enabled vibration massage with multi-functions, including vibration, galvanic, cooling, heating, and LED therapy, to deliver moisture and nutrients deep into the skin. Users can carry out their entire skin care routine with it, from cleansing to prepping the skin, reducing pore size and preventing moisture loss.
Meanwhile, the AR Beauty Mirror Solution by Frontis (South Korea) allows consumers to consult for skin problems and obtain recommendations on skincare products via skin analysis, AR and AI chatbot; while the Laser Hair Growth Comb by Zhongshan Cenci Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd. (Mainland China) uses high frequency vibration to massage the scalp and infrared light to promote hair growth.

They include self-cleaning packaging and multitasking products such as gels, mists, lotions and nail polish that nourish the skin while guarding against germs.
The UVC Disinfection Case by Belle Cosmic Manufacturing Co., Ltd. (Hong Kong SAR) is a portable, UV disinfecting case that kills 99 percent of bacteria, viruses, and mold on items that are placed inside it. The case provides an ideal way to sterilize objects while travelling as no chemicals, liquid or heat are needed.
On the other hand, the Sanitizing Hand Cream by Farmaceutici Dott. Ciccarelli (Italy) prevents skin dryness, redness and chapping due to frequent use of alcohol-based products by nourishing and protecting the skin barrier. The product contains tea tree oil which is known for its antibacterial, antiviral, and antifungal properties.

For example, the Lyophilized Double Effect Eye Mask by Changzhou Weibo Hi-Tech Biotechnology Co., Ltd (Mainland China) is created using the isol® cream freeze-drying technology which promotes transdermal absorption and potency of ingredients.

NATURE'S POTIONS
