NuFace Trinity complete facial toning kit, $525
The NuFace Trinity toning device is an innovative and luxurious skincare item that beauty enthusiasts will be excited to unwrap this holiday season. We like this device because it is designed to address a ton of the most common skin concerns, including skin texture, firmness and brightness.
NuFace claims that the Trinity device will lift, contour and tone your face. The brand reports that 85 percent of users experienced improved facial contour with use of the device and that 77 percent of users noticed that their skin felt smoother. It is always important to take these claims with a grain of salt, but the user reviews did impress us.
"I have been using it for three weeks and I am actually seeing results. I am 64, and nothing that I have tried in the way of products or devices, has ever worked for me," one verified buyer noted. "Despite the wonderful reviews, I was skeptical that it would work for me, but after a few weeks I started seeing subtle improvements, and my skin seems to look better (firmer and brighter) each day."
For these reasons and more, we think the NuFace Trinity is the best beauty gift to give in 2022 -- and why we named it one of our CBS Essentials' 100 Most Wanted Holiday Gifts of 2022 .
