Masks, LED Lights … Sonic Sponges? These 5 New Products Claim to Help Everything From Dry Hands + Chapped Lips to Wrinkles

Looking better with no extra effort sounds too good to be true, right?

Well, not according to our friend and beauty guru Gretta Monahan!

When she visited our show, she gave us the lowdown on five new products that aim to solve common beauty problems that we can all relate to -- from dry hands and chapped lips to crow’s feet and wrinkles. (Ack!)

And even better -- she tested them on herself (AND on viewers right in our studio) to see if they live up to the hype!

"Masks have concentrated ingredients in them," Gretta says. "That’s why they target and they infuse faster and better."

Gretta suggests leaving either of these masks on for 15 minutes at a time. Plus, you can reuse one Nannette de Gaspe Hands Masque up to 3 times. Cha-ching!

"[With] 15,000 pulses per minute," Gretta explains of the product, "it’s much more active in blending than you can just do with your hands."

(Who else is guilty of using their hands … ? ‘Cause we are! ? )

"It’s really more than just an applicator," she continues. "It’s a mini facial treatment."

Plus, the beauty pro says you can use this with liquid AND powder foundations.

Score!

"LED light therapy has been going on for years," Gretta says -- and she explains it’s been used to reduce wrinkles and improve under-eye tone.

Gretta claims you could see a difference in up to 2 weeks with this product.
