CurrentBody Skin LED Light Therapy Face Mask
£299
Revered as “the world’s most powerful anti-ageing LED face mask”, the CurrentBody Skin LED Light Therapy Face Mask has been clinically proven to reduce wrinkles in as little as 4 weeks.
Let’s focus on the mechanics first:
The device boasts a whopping 132 precision-positioned LED bulbs, which deliver some powerful 30 megawatts per cm². Added to this, special ‘Pillow Technology’ using patented flexible silicone diffuses the LED light to ensure maximum skin coverage.
Two intrinsic wavelengths stimulate the production of both collagen and elastin, which in turn plumps up the skin to diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Here’s the best bit – the treatment works in as little 10 minutes a day, 3-5 days a week.
USB-chargeable and easily transportable, anti-ageing in the comfort of your home (or hotel room) has never been so quick, easy, and effective.
So, what’s been my personal experience?
Well, I have definitely noticed a more balanced skin tone with a smoother texture. My usual skincare routine has been enhanced with products being better absorbed, and my make-up glides on. Ultimately, my complexion is noticeably brighter and clearer, and I’ve invited a few compliments out of the ordinary!
Don’t take my word for it though; the CurrentBody Skin LED Light Therapy Face Mask boasts over a thousand 5-star reviews. Further, an independent study indicated 100% satisfaction amongst users, and 97% agreed that they looked younger.
