Beurer Wellbeing

The Wellbeing segment has items that are all geared for improvement of everyday lifestyle. In that light, the first things that are important are air purifiers, air humidifiers and the combination of both those in the form of air washers. These help keep the air indoors clean and humidified to the right degree, which in turn helps with overall health. The original product, the electric blanket has also evolved over time and there are pads available in different shapes and sizes now that are body-part specific. For the new age there are also portable versions that come with a power bank, essentially working with any power bank. These pads are all made out of various fabrics and to make it easier to wash the electronic components can be taken off, so it is safe to throw the pads into the laundry. Beurer also makes special lamps that are good for the health, one version is the sunlight emulator which is designed for areas that have less sun in the winter. The lamp will help one's melatonin and serotonin secretion cycles which affect the biorhythm. The infrared lamp is for people who may have colds or muscle tension. The increased blood flow helps the body regenerate and also the heat causes sweat which is a great way to get out toxins. There is a line of weighing scales that, depending on the model, can connect to an app to log all relevant information. Also, different models have various reading abilities, which can include body fat, body water content, muscle percentage, bone mass, personal calorie display and BMI along with weight. Other than all this Beurer makes a range of massage mats and pads as part of the Wellbeing section. Some are area-specific and others are for general usage. With options for heating along with the massaging vibrations, adding another layer to ease tension and stress.

Beurer Beauty

This segment has products that are developed for different kinds of beauty related maintenance. The first portion deals with facial cleansing, with facial brushes for deeper cleaning.

Generally, a procedure for which one had to go to a dermatologist. Another process they have made accessible at home is laser hair removal, with a handheld device that slows down the growth of one's hair.
