Best LED Face Mask: Currentbody Skin LED Light Therapy Face Mask
Why We Love It
Struggling with fine lines and dull skin? Long hailed for their powerful results, LED lights treat a range of skin-care issues in 10 minutes or less a day. “LED light therapy is a safe skin treatment using low-level light available in different colors and wavelengths,” dermatologist Dr. Melanie Palm tells Vogue, continuing that different wavelengths of light can be effective in treating a range of skin conditions “including acne, inflammation, swelling, signs of aging, stimulating collagen, and even minor wounds.” The Vogue Verified Currentbody LED face mask easily straps on—it’s flexible silicone material fitting flesh onto the skin, allowing you to walk around the house without worrying it’ll slip off. The best part is that it’s FDA-cleared and clinically proven to reduce wrinkles in just four weeks.
- Editor’s experience: “Hands-free skincare devices are important to me simply because I’m addicted to my phone and can’t imagine not being able to use my hands to scroll for even a few minutes. I notice brighter skin throughout the week, and while I don’t have any fine lines or deep wrinkles yet, I sleep in peace knowing that I’m getting ahead of them now. Also, for Netflix lovers, this is the same mask seen on Netflix’s Emily in Paris. J’adore!” —Iman Balagam, contributor
