I will be the first to admit that my skincare routine is somewhat… relaxed. Don’t get me wrong, with my forever dry, sensitive skin I moisturise religiously and I always remove my makeup but, honestly, it stops there. Signs of ageing, after 43 years, are definitely visible but the prospect of developing any kind of at home routine, frankly, overwhelms me.
Perhaps this is why I was so intrigued by the tech behind LED face masks – a device that does all the work for you… in 10 minutes. I did some research and, as they came up time and time again as the best on the market, I reached out to CurrentBody.
One month in and, whilst it’s early days, the results speak for themselves…

THE TECH
In short, red light therapy boosts collagen production for skin that appears younger; reducing wrinkles, improving plumpness and rejuvenating damage (like scarring or sun spots).
I have the CurrentBody Skin Series 2 LED Light Therapy Mask – this new model really raises the bar guaranteeing the most precise wavelengths on the market for optimal results –
- three highly precise wavelengths with an all-new, exclusive layout of 236 LEDs emitting three clinically recognised wavelengths: red (633nm – boosts collagen production, reducing fine lines and wrinkles), near-infrared (830nm – energises cells to firm, tighten and brighten skin) and NEW deep near-infrared (1072nm – targets areas where signs of ageing are more pronounced, boosting collagen production deep under the skin and supercharging results)
- the series 2 has extra LED bulbs in an improved layout and an added chin strap for better, full-face light coverage
- the Best-Fit flexible liquid silicone shape contours to every face for optimal full-face coverage – it’s worth noting that a rigid mask can sit 2cm away from the face, losing up to 90% of power
- Veritace, CurrentBody’s testing and verification system, makes them the only brand to individually test every single LED to guarantee optimal precision and the ‘Best-Fit’ flexible liquid silicone shape ensures maximum coverage and comfort – a flexible yet contoured shape that allows the LED’s to get closer to the skin for best results

THE RESULTS
It certainly does feels out of my comfort zone to share extreme closeups of my bare face in sharp focus but, in the interests of a true comparison, here we are…
Honestly, I was sceptical. I examined my face weekly with a new found enthusiasm and honestly wasn’t sure much was happening, however, when I look at the before and after photos, the difference is not huge but it is clear –
- sun spots on my cheeks have reduced
- crows feet appear smoother
- skin looks brighter
With these results in just four weeks, I am convinced enough to continue – it’s no hardship after all.

WHAT I LIKED ABOUT IT
Aside from the results, which certainly are the main draw, there are a lot of little features that appeal to me about the Series 2 CurrentBody LED Light Therapy mask.
- the comfortable fit – I have a tiny face, think child size, so the flexible form really works for me and the straps are super comfy
- it’s lightweight so, combined with the good fit, there’s no pressure on any part of my face
- it does all the work for you – I just pop it on for 1o minutes in the evening either watching TV, at bed time reading my book or just for 10 minutes of down time doing absolutely hee-haw (if I fall asleep the timer turns it off for you) BUT if you wanted to wear it and multitask then you absolutely could – the control has a little belt clip
- the optional eye inserts make reading, scrolling, or watching TV with your device on even easier
- it’s extremely portable in its wee drawstring bag
- CurrentBody offer a 60 day money back guarantee
In short, this is a great beauty tech investment for your skin – it delivers results and is super easy to slot into your routine (or lack thereof if you’re anything like me) – this one I can do.
Please drop any questions in the comments below – I would so love to hear if you’ve tried it too or are thinking about it. Personally, I’m excited to see my 8 and 12 week results (setting a calendar reminder right now for an up close date with my camera).
