7 Best LED Face Masks of 2022 | How Do LED Masks Work?
It was my colleagues who first introduced me to the concept of LED light therapy masks.
“Personally, I’ve been testing the mask out for three weeks and have seen improvements in skin texture and a reduction in redness,” Jessica Wang, former Shopping Writer, confided. Dani Maher, former Shopping Writer, confirmed, “I haven’t used it long enough to take full advantage of the results it promises, but after each session, I do feel like my skin looks a little more healthy and glowy.”
Naturally, I had to look into these at-home beauty devices, formerly only accessible upon visits to cosmetologists or dermatologists.
Unsurprisingly they’re popular with celebrities too, with famous faces like Bella Hadid, Kourtney Kardashian, Chrissy Teigen, Jessica Alba and Emma Stone all fans of them.
They also make for a great selfie — need we say more?
