From Cleansing to Haircare: Tech That Levels Up Your Routine
Beauty technology is no longer limited to professional clinics. Today, smart beauty devices are becoming essential tools for skincare and haircare routines at home; especially in Singapore, where consumers prioritise convenience and visible results.
For me as a beauty-tech enthusiast, these are some of the products that have truly been game-changers in my daily routine.
From sonic facial cleansers to red-light therapy hair solutions, technology is enhancing everyday self-care and empowering people to look and feel confident with minimal effort.
As beauty tech continues to grow, it’s likely to become a major attraction at some consumer tech events like IT SHOW 2026, happening this March.
Here’s a look at some popular home-use devices shaping the future of beauty.
FOREO LUNA™ Play — Beauty Tech Starter for Daily Skincare
Small but powerful, the FOREO LUNA™ play uses sonic vibrations to deliver deeper cleansing than manual washing. Compact and travel-friendly, it’s ideal for makeup wearers or anyone who wants a simple upgrade to their daily cleansing ritual.
The sonic vibrations provide a more thorough cleanse than manual washing, making it a practical option for everyday use. I find it especially useful since I wear makeup daily. It’s a simple reminder that even basic skincare steps are now being improved with technology.
This device shows how tech-enabled skincare doesn’t have to be complicated — just smarter.
Medicube AGE-R Booster-H — Clinic-Inspired Results, At Home
Designed to boost product absorption, the Medicube AGE-R Booster-H bridges the gap between home routines and professional facial treatments.
Just five minutes enhances glow and moisture retention — especially when used with a sheet mask. For beauty lovers seeking targeted results without regular clinic visits, this kind of tech is a game-changer.
This type of beauty tech works well for people who want something more targeted without committing to regular clinic treatments. I did notice that the products I used with it were absorbed better, and my skin looked a little more glowy after. My personal favourite way to use it is over a sheet mask, about five minutes before removing it. The essence feels much more fully absorbed into the skin.
Dyson Supersonic™ Hair Dryer — Engineered for Healthy Hair
Not all hair dryers are equal. The Dyson Supersonic™ uses intelligent heat control and fast, focused airflow to dry hair quickly without damage.
The biggest difference?
Less frizz
Faster drying
No extreme heat
Better everyday hair confidence
For extremely long hair like mine, the difference I noticed most was drying time. It doesn’t feel like it’s aggressively hot, but my hair still dries faster than with most dryers I have used. My hair also feels less frizzy afterwards.
I wouldn’t say it magically transforms hair, but it does make the whole drying process feel more efficient and less harsh. To me, that’s where the “tech” part really shows. It quietly improves something I already do almost every day.
It proves how engineering innovation can elevate a daily routine most of us take for granted.
Red Light Therapy Hair Growth Helmets — Wearable Beauty Tech
Devices like the iRestore hair growth helmet offer hands-free red-light therapy designed to support hair growth and reduce thinning. While still premium-priced, this category is evolving fast — and may soon become mainstream as manufacturing improves.
Seeing these devices at future tech showcases feels inevitable — especially for consumers who want salon-style treatments at home.
While they are not something you typically see at tech shows yet, I do think this category will grow as the devices become a little more pocket-friendly.
I have personally considered getting one myself after seeing many positive reviews, but the price point has kept it on the back burner. These devices are still a significant investment, making them more of a long-term consideration rather than an impulse buy.
Beauty tech often follows a familiar pattern; early devices start out expensive before becoming more accessible over time. If red light therapy helmets continue to gain traction, it’s easy to imagine them becoming more common and affordable in the future, especially for people looking for at-home solutions to hair thinning or hair loss. I look forward to seeing this category make its way to one of our tech shows in the near future.
What’s Next? Beauty Tech Meets the Tech Show Floor
Beauty tech adoption in Singapore is surging, fuelled by growing interest in anti-ageing, home convenience, and wellness technology.
We are already seeing:
- Tech companies entering beauty
- Wellness brands using engineering & AI
- Consumers willing to invest in smart self-care
- Retailers expanding beauty tech categories
This aligns perfectly with the 2026 Tech Show Series where beauty tech innovation will have a bigger presence than ever.
