Our Editors' Favorite Mirrors for Examining Your Skin and Applying Products

We’ll be honest — we spend way too much time examining our skin in the mirror. But this guilty pleasure can actually be useful sometimes by helping us determine whether or not skin-care products are working for our skin texture and type. We’ve tested out just about every magnifying and brightening mirror around, and ahead, we’re sharing five of our favorites. 

Simplehuman Sensor Mirror With Touch-Control Brightness 

This 5x magnifying mirror has touch-control brightness so you can see every little pore — or not. We love using this one for applying our skin-care because we can literally see products sink into our skin. 

Tweezerman 10x Lighted Magnifying Mirror

If you want mega magnification, try the Tweezerman 10x Lighted Magnifying Mirror. You can easily stick this mirror over your regular bathroom mirror for a more close-up view. It’s perfect for applying eye cream or a spot treatment.

Riki Loves Riki Skinny Mirror

The Riki Loves Riki Skinny Mirror has five dimming LED light stages that allows you to examine your skin at the brightness level you please. It comes in five colors: white, black, gold, rose gold and pink and even connects to Bluetooth!
