This post is sponsored by CurrentBody. You will probably be aware of their light therapy masks. I’ve been using mine for six years now. Hands up who else bought one in lockdown, when there was far too much time spent looking at your own face on Zoom meetings?
If you already have the Series 2 mask and are happy with it for targeting wrinkles and boosting collagen, then stick with it. You probably don’t need an upgrade. But if you’re looking to upgrade from Series 1, or you’re new to the light mask game, the new Series 3 LED is definitely worth a look.
I must warn you, it isn’t cheap. At just shy of £500, it’s a hefty investment. But I do have a code, WEARSMYMONEY, which gets you 10% off all orders.
Experts recommend that if you’re going to invest in a light therapy mask, you should choose one with lots of high-quality and safe LED bulbs, as these are going to give you the best skin results. The new Series 3 mask has these in spades, and it has six different wavelengths (which correspond to the different coloured LED lights. Are you still with me?) to target many more skin concerns than previous CurrentBody masks.
They are:
- Red (633nm) – Boosts collagen production to visibly reduce fine lines and wrinkles.
- Near-infrared (830nm) – Visibly firms and tightens skin.
- Deep near-infrared (1072nm) – Visibly smooths and renews skin from within.
- Blue (415nm) – Reduces the appearance of spots and irritation.
- Green (532nm) – Brightens skin and reduces the appearance of pigmentation.
- Yellow (590nm) – Visibly calms redness and irritation.
If you have a teenager in the house, you could potentially share this mask with them, thanks to the blue lights that help calm spots. Although, I’d probably advise against it, as it will inevitably be left uncharged under a pile of dirty clothes just when you want to use it yourself.
The new series 3 mask also has a compatible app that allows you to personalise your settings to suit your own skin concerns, so it’s tailored specifically to you, alongside four preset treatments designed to target multiple skincare concerns. I’ve been using a combination of deep and near infared for anti-ageing, green to even out my skin tone and blue because, at 53, I still get spots, which is ridiculous, but these things are sent to try us!
I try to use my mask three times a week because consistency is key with any of these devices. It’s hard to show any before-and-after photos because, as I say, I’ve been using a CurrentBody mask regularly since 2020. But here’s a close up of my skin (and my big nose) at 53 without any make-up.
But what I can say that I’m actually happy with how my skin looks these days. I regularly go without make-up, which is something I would never have done seven years ago. And that’s the highest praise I can give frankly.
Don’t forget, WEARSMYMONEY gets you 10% off all products at CurrentBody.
