A new consumer roundup from The Guardian’s technology and lifestyle coverage has put LED face masks back in the spotlight, after testing a range of light therapy devices and consulting dermatologists about whether they really live up to the claims.
The article looks at a fast-growing corner of the beauty-tech market: at-home masks that use LED light and are sold as treatments for concerns such as fine lines, blemishes and redness. Some devices combine different wavelengths in an effort to widen their appeal, but the piece notes that buyers should remain cautious given the high price of many models and the non-invasive nature of the treatments.
According to the Guardian review, the devices were assessed after expert input from doctors and dermatologists, alongside hands-on testing. The publication’s overall pick is the CurrentBody Multi Light Therapy LED mask, which it names the best LED mask overall. For shoppers looking for a lower-cost option, the Silk’n LED face mask 100 is highlighted as the best budget choice.
The roundup reflects the growing popularity of LED face masks in the UK beauty market, where they are marketed as tools for improving the appearance of skin from home. But the article also underlines the need for careful research before buying, especially because the category is among the more expensive in the at-home skincare space.
