Esker Beauty Body Plane, £45
BEST FOR: Exfoliation & Removing Dead Skin Cells
HOW TO USE IT: This one may look intimidating, but it’s incredibly easy to use. Designed to ‘scrape’ away dead skin cells, massage the skin and exfoliate, it takes a three-pronged approach, while its larger size is better-suited for covering a wider surface area. For best results, use it right after you’ve taken a long hot bath or shower, when your skin is warm and damp, as this allows for a more seamless glide. Start with your arms and legs, using a moderate pressure as you move the tool across the skin. Try to use upward motions, too – as if you were shaving your legs – and keep moving in circles. This technique will boost lymph drainage, but also stimulate muscles and smooth the skin. No wonder it’s so popular.

HAYO’U Body Restorer Gua Sha Massage Tool, £38
BEST FOR: Releasing Tension
HOW TO USE IT: This smooth tool has won countless awards for alleviating tight, tired muscles. Made from 100% stainless steel, it offers antibacterial properties, while the smooth surface is ideal for gliding across your skin and muscles without any tugging. Try using it after exercise as a deep, intense treatment, or for quick instant relief as and when you need it. Take it over your key pressure points to release tension and tightness. Using long, circular strokes that go upward from the ankle – this will stimulate your lymph nodes and improve circulation.

NUFACE NuBody Skin Toning Device, £383
BEST FOR: Smoothing & Toning Skin
HOW TO USE IT: The NUFACE devices may seem gimmicky, but many experts – including A-list make-up artist Lisa Eldridge – swear by them. This one works particularly well on the body to smooth dimples, tone skin and boost dullness, thanks to the advanced micro current technology which gently vibrates and massages the skin. It gets to work deep down, stimulating collagen, elastin production and strengthening the skin to improve the appearance of cellulite. You need to use it for a few weeks, but you’ll see results if you stick with it.
