For the Gadget Lover
Try: Priori Unveiled Flexible LED Light Therapy Mask, $395
Have a friend who's dead set on turning her bathroom into a medspa-inspired treatment room? This LED Mask will help get her there while reducing inflammation. Unlike most LED masks made for in-home use, this one is flexible and made to better fit the curves of a face, like a sheet mask. But unlike sheet masks, it emits LED light at two wavelengths (633 nm for red light and 830 nm for near-infrared light) to stimulate collagen and elastin production, stoke blood flow and address inflammation.
In the brand's own clinical tests, 95 percent of participants reported improvement in skin tone and texture after a month of regular use — and we can see why. We noticed redness around the nose and mouth temporarily vanish immediately after each of our first few sessions. What's more, using is about as easy as booking a facial online: Velcro closure for the wrap-around mask makes for a snug and comfortable fit; beginning a session is as easy as pressing a button; an internal timer powers the mask down after 10-minute period; and recharging the device is done through USB.
Though its LED lights may not be as strong or efficacious as those found professional devices, the ease of use and per-session cost is something that will keep your favorite facial fiend happy for countless "treatments" to come.
