Alongside the Dr Harris Anti-Wrinkle Sleep Mask, The Currentbody LED face mask has been the most popular and most featured LED face mask that has appeared across my social feed for as long as I can remember and having been lucky enough to give it a try, I can see why there is hype!
I think for many of us, the last few years have taken its toll in one way or another and I am all for using and doing anything and everything I can to sort my skin out. Having caught Covid (and yes I am vaccinated and boosted), I have been left with long-Covid, made up of fatigue, very little sense of taste and smell and then my skin is really still quite angry at me and is combination oily as it always was, but it is now really dry. So, having moved on to vitamins and supplements, I have been lucky enough to incorporate the CurrentBody LED Mask, which I have used for a short time, so if like me, you are curious as to why EVERYONE raves about this mask, keep reading so I can explain more about it, then as a treat, I have a 20% off code that works for the Currentbody LED mask!
Did you know that Light therapy was originally developed by NASA for healing wounds in space? Me either until now and since then the US Navy Seals have used it and then aestheticians introduced it into their treatment rooms, so I feel it is something rather special. LED light therapy is backed by a whole lot of clinical data that claims it will not only help to skin repair, stimulate collagen, fade age spots and decrease inflammation, it will also smooth the skin. Now of course, with at-home light therapy, we can reap even more benefits - no downtime, use it when you want to, no booking process or salons to visit and best of all, it is incredibly easy to use.
‘Nourished, healthy skin that is visibly glowing and is clinically proven to reduce wrinkles by 35% in just 4 weeks.’
This CurrentBody LED Mask is fully flexible, so really comfortable to wear and it works to deliver the perfect dose of dual LED light directly to the skin, which is absolutely pain-free, if you do find that you are over-sensitive to light, pop on the comfort goggles, which are provided inside the box to protect your eyes.
CurrentBody states that this device has been made to medical device directives and delivers the same clinically-proven wavelengths as professional salon machines and it uses both red light and near infra-red light.
- Red light (633nm) - stimulates the production of new collagen, calms redness and evens the skin tone
- Near infra-red (830nm) - penetrates and works beneath the skin’s surface to boost circulation, improve blood flow and boosts oxygen to the skin’s cells.
These two wavelengths work below the skin’s surface to stimulate the natural rejuvenation process, creating a complexion that is visibly glowing and noticeably healthier looking. The mask’s flexibility also ensures that the maximum amount of light hits the lower layers of the skin, delivering both instant and long term results.
To use this mask effectively you should aim to use it around 4/5 times a week for just 10 minutes over a period of 4 weeks at a time and then you can repeat this throughout the year as and when you need or want to. It should be used on cleansed, exfoliated skin to form part of your skincare routine, so I tend to use mine in an evening after completing my skincare routine and any other household chore, just to sit down for 10 minutes of R+R.
The mask is charged via a USB plug and you may need to charge it for a few hours when you first get it, but once it is fully charged, you can, if you wish move around freely whilst wearing it as you are not tethered to a wall and a plug socket, though the lights are really bright so it is hard to see anywhere other than in front of you. Once those 10 minutes are up, the mask will beep and turn itself off and you’re done for the day.
I am only part way through my 4 week initial usage of this mask, so will update this post in due course. However, what I have noticed is a lot less redness and my skin looks less angry and annoyed, so I am looking forward to seeing what my skin is actually like after this initial process. So far, I love that this LED Mask requires so little effort and is a delight to use.
The Currentbody mask comes in at £299, making it one of the most affordable masks that you can purchase and using my code RACHEL, you can get yourself a 20% discount! The CurrentBody Skin’s LED mask is made of silicone, so it’s soft and flexible, making it comfortable to wear so that fits the contours of the face without dragging or pulling like some similar masks I have tried.
