It's Tool Time - The BIC Beauty Edition

I wanted to start this thread as a place to share about a beauty tool or tools that have worked for you, be it something you use for your skin (e.g., gua sha, face roller, spetralite face mask, etc.), or your body (body gua sha, infrared PEMF mat), or  nails (e.g., glass file), or elsewhere.

Re: It's Tool Time - The BIC Beauty Edition

@itsfi great idea for a thread!

Re: It's Tool Time - The BIC Beauty Edition

@greeneyedgirl107, thank you. If there's been a beauty tool that has worked well (or not) for you, would love to hear about your experiences.

Re: It's Tool Time - The BIC Beauty Edition

I purchased the HigherDOSE Infrared PEMF Go Mat for Recovery and Stress Reduction and plan to start putting it to use. Will revisit this page to post updates.

@itsfi 

Whoa, I have that HighDose Mat, I bought mine on Amazon. Sephora Canada def doesn’t have it. Yours looks smaller maybe, is it the full body one? Mine weighs about 45 lbs. 

In CDN I think I paid about $1700 for mine. It does work! I work out everyday from home, sometimes twice, and at the end of the day I’m super sore. This helps and I get such a good sleep. 

Re: It's Tool Time - The BIC Beauty Edition

Ooouh, you have the full size @GG84?!! Niiiiice! This is the “on the go” half mat size - it’s 11 lbs. I’ve had it for a little more than a week and it has not disappointed. I’m hoping it will help with my sleep so it is very heartening to hear how well the mat has worked for you. 👍🏼 

Re: It's Tool Time - The BIC Beauty Edition

@itsfi  Oh wow! I had no idea Sephora sold this! It looks wonderful! 🤤😍

Re: It's Tool Time - The BIC Beauty Edition

I’ve been happy with it so far @Shosh85; hoping I can be consistent with using it. 🤞🏼 

Re: It's Tool Time - The BIC Beauty Edition

I don’t know if this counts but I LOVE the little clips that pull your hair back👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻

 

 

 

Chunks Allie Hair Clips Kelly  (my fav)

Re: It's Tool Time - The BIC Beauty Edition

@charleigh16, hair tools like these cute Chunks clips 💚 absolutely count!!! At my last hair appointment, I asked for curtain bangs and hair clips have come in handy on those days I don’t want to fuss with doing my hair. 😊 I love the Kelly green shade on these clips; i imagine they would show up beautifully on every hair color! 

Re: It's Tool Time - The BIC Beauty Edition

This is a fascinating thread idea @itsfi. Thank you for starting it. 🙏 Beauty tools deserve these discussions.  There are soon many out there and I know I'm eager to hear what is loved by our community. I'll be back after I go through some of mine. 😉 

Your infrared matt is sooooo intriguing. I'm so happy to hear it's giving you some relief. ❤️

Re: It's Tool Time - The BIC Beauty Edition

@CynthieLu, the mat is definitely a fun new toy. I want to be consistent with it; feeling that will be a key factor in results - isn't that always the way, especially with beauty tools. 

Re: It's Tool Time - The BIC Beauty Edition

I've put the HigherDOSE Infrared PEMF Go Mat for Recovery and Stress Reduction to use every day during the long weekend, and I have to say, my initial impressions are good. 😊
 
Usage:
  • 5 consecutive days
  • 20 minutes each day
  • at the lowest setting (Level 1)
 
Body Condition BEFORE Using the Higher Dose PEMF Mat:
  • Soreness in left shoulder - at base of neck, just above the shoulder blade
  • Achiness / tightness along right hip
 
Body Condition AFTER Using the PEMF Mat for Five Consecutive Days:
  • Left shoulder feels less sore, has better movement and flexibility to it
  • Right hip is a lot less tight
 
What's Next?:
  • I plan on using this at least 3x per week, possibly nightly. Will post that routine to Habit Stacking Thread 📚, once I figure out the best way to incorporate it into my current evening wind down routine.
  • I'll experiment with the settings and post updates to this thread about my experience with the mat, periodically, moving forward. 
 
Initial Impressions:  
Well, I'll be, this does work! At least, so far. Will be back later with update(s) but so far, I am very happy with this purchase and based on my experience over the last 5 days, I'd recommend this mat!  👍
 
 
 

Re: It's Tool Time - The BIC Beauty Edition

@itsfi  thanks for the tag! I'm glad the mat is working well for you so far!

Re: It's Tool Time - The BIC Beauty Edition

Thank you @caitbird! It's been even more of a treat now that the cold weather has decided to stay. 😂 

Re: It's Tool Time - The BIC Beauty Edition

Thanks for the update @itsfi!

Re: It's Tool Time - The BIC Beauty Edition

@faeriegirl, happy to share my experience with this mat; so far, so good.

Re: It's Tool Time - The BIC Beauty Edition

@itsfi This mat sounds neat. I have been hearing great things about infared. I will be doing some more reading about it. 

I am happy to hear you are noticing some results. You can definitely habit stack with this !

Re: It's Tool Time - The BIC Beauty Edition

@Mellmars1185, I used the mat this morning, at Level 2, because my back was feeling tighter than usual - I had been moving things up and down stairs so I'm attributing the extra tightness to that. Still some achiness but there's more movement in my back, if that makes sense, and it feels less tight as well. This is one of those things (like so many things) where it'll be helpful to be consistent with it so a habit stack is definitely in the works - I want to find a stack / pairing that I'll be able to keep to regularly. 

Re: It's Tool Time - The BIC Beauty Edition

@itsfi I think I need 10 of these to cover my body after work haha. 

Re: It's Tool Time - The BIC Beauty Edition

You made me laugh @Samtian 😂 but sooooo true. I need something like this but in the shape of a tanning bed. Lol

Re: It's Tool Time - The BIC Beauty Edition

lol, how great would that be, @Samtian?!! Hoping this will help with managing pain and soreness in the long run; it would be really nice to have something to use at home.
