If you’ve ever wondered how celebs get their glowing, flawless complexions, the chances are they’re using some kind of light technology. LED face masks have seen a major increase in popularity lately, and with studies revealing that they do, in fact, work, it’s not hard to see why.
If you’ve been coveting and LED mask for yourself but can’t quite bring yourself to splash the cash (they can get pretty pricey, after all) we’re here to help. Geske’s budget-friendly Sonic Warm & Cool Mask 9 in 1, £49.95 here, is not only loved by celebs like Nina Dobrev, Romee Strijd and Toni Garrn, but it creates a completely personalised facial routine for you too.
The nine-in-one mask has multiple technologies that target different skincare concerns, with options to choose from SmartSonic Pulsations, full-spectrum LED light, cryo deep cooling revitalizing, and deep warming as well as plenty of others. The mask also helps your skin absorb the active ingredients in your fave skincare products at a deeper level, making them more effective. Plus, it gives your face a relaxing massage while it does it – just like getting your very own at-home facial.
The heating tech can be used to warm your skin and open up your pores, whilst the massage feature encourages your favourite face mask or serum to be completely absorbed into your skin. Ending with the cooling setting helps close your pores and lock the ingredients into your skin, making them work harder for longer.
The cooling feature also helps to soothe and de-puff tired, inflamed skin, leaving it feeling fresher and more energised for a youthful glow. The LED lights on the other hand, come in eight different wavelengths and colours to help combat the first signs of skin aging and rejuvenate your skin, with each one offering something different to help boost the look and feel of your skin.
If the idea of choosing which features you want to use – or which ones your skin needs – is a touch overwhelming, you’ll be pleased to know the Geske mask also comes with full access to the brand’s app. The AI-supported app helps you work out exactly what your skin needs, then creates a completely bespoke, unique skincare routine to help get the best results.
The face mask works in a similar way to the viral Foreo UFO Full Facial LED Face Mask, which you can currently get for £88 here after being reduced from £209 in Amazon’s major beauty sale. The Foreo UFO also offers in-app functions to help create your own skincare routine based on your skin’s needs and has a range of settings including cooling and warming tech and LED lights to help boost your complexion.
If you’re not ready to shell out on a pricey full-face LED mask, a handheld version really is the perfect (and affordable) solution. Who says you need to leave the house for a celeb-worthy facial?
