Verge curates selection of beauty technology and wellness products for 2026 Mother's Day
The Verge has released a curated list of gifts targeting the 2026 holiday, featuring items ranging from LED masks to massage guns designed to offer relaxation and self-care.
The Verge has published a curated guide titled "The best beauty tech you can still grab in time for Mother's Day," targeting the 2026 holiday period. The selection focuses on wellness and grooming products that offer professional-level results or relaxation within the home environment. Recommendations span high-end hair styling tools, FDA-cleared skincare devices, practical wellness items such as dry shampoos and massage guns, and unique novelty products.
The guide explicitly notes that purchasing via provided links may generate commissions for Vox Media. The article frames these products as ways to provide "pampering" and "self-care" for mothers, emphasising convenience, such as at-home dyeing with L'Oréal's Colorsonic, and efficacy through the use of FDA-cleared devices.
Specific product recommendations include the Shark FlexStyle Air, a multi-function hair dryer and styling tool, and Buxom's Plump Shot Lip Serum. Skincare devices highlighted include the Contour Face, an FDA-cleared LED mask, the Nuface Trinity Plus Starter Kit for facial toning, and Sungboon's collagen mask as an overnight treatment.
Practical and wellness picks feature Drybar's Clean Sweep Detox Duo Kit for dry shampoo, the Theragun Mini massage gun, and the Quince Mulberry Silk Pillowcase. Notable inclusions are the Lifx SuperColor Smart Mirror with programmable lighting and Matter support, and Mooncat's Queen of the Dead nail polish, a colour-changing lacquer supporting cat adoption.
The guide also covers items like the Supersonic Travel hair dryer, Esarora's Ice Roller for soothing redness, and the Forever Eye Mask to aid hydration and makeup application. These items are selected to assist mothers in achieving professional results or finding relief after a long day without leaving the house.
