There are very few things in my day to day life that have made as much of an impact in my day to day as LED light therapy has. I test a fair amount of beauty tech, but I always go back to my CurrentBody Mask. In fact, it is an integral part of my daily routine, and I wear it, and the accompanying neck attachment, while I do my morning meditation. Habit stacking! Honestly, this has worked so well for me in the last few years that I really didn't see any use in changing things up. But then CurrentBody released an update to their much beloved LED Red Light Therapy Mask and I just had to try series two.

On a very surface level, I would say that Series Two is much more functional, just by virtue of its design. The mask is now designed to have a more flexible fit to the face, and as a result you can wear it and do other tasks that it might have previously interfered with. But the upgrades when you look deeper are much more complex, yet lead to subtle optimizations that make a world of difference.

For example, the mask now features 236 bulbs strategically laid out, which emit three different kinds of light: red (633nm), near-infrared (830nm) and new deep near-infrared (1072nm). The red light, treats fine lines and redness, and is meant to improve skin texture, while the near-infrared stimulates deep collagen renewal, for skin that has great elasticity and bounce, and then the deep near-infrared targets deep set wrinkles. Ten minutes a day to reduce fine lines and wrinkles, even out skin tone, and drastically reduce redness. If you ask me, if there was one thing you could passively do to improve the condition of your skin over time, it would be this.

In terms of my results after a month of swapping over, I felt that I saw a notable difference in my chin and the folds by my mouth (which were harder to treat with the previous mask) and if anything, any deeper lines that I had from, gasp, sleeping on my stomach, started to look not so deeply set. And this was an improvement of the already considerable change the Series One mask had made to the condition of my skin, particularly as it related to my rosacea.

If there's a person in your life who for some reason hasn't already gotten their hands on an LED mask yet, I could think of no better gift for the holidays.
