In some embodiments, an authorization server device receives a request for an activation token to activate a personal care device. The authorization server device determines an authorized usage amount, and generates an activation token based on the authorized usage amount to be transmitted to the personal care device. Activation of a personal care device may be authorized based on consumable products obtained for use with the personal care device. By limiting activation of the personal care device based on consumable products obtained for use with the personal care device, the technical problems in overuse of some consumable products (such as brush heads) or underuse of other consumable products (such as serums or cleansers) can be avoided, and maximum results from use of the personal care devices can be easier to obtain.
