00:00Are LED face masks the future of skincare or all hype?
00:03At-home LED masks range from £200 to £600, while professional clinic devices can cost
00:08thousands. But are they worth it? In-clinic treatments use stronger, more even, light,
00:13meaning faster results. But at-home masks can still be effective if used consistently.
00:17Most studies suggest two to three times a week for at least a month. The benefits include improved
00:22skin texture and tone as well as collagen production, but don't expect instant results.
00:26Glowing skin takes time. From the clean girl aesthetic to the internet's obsession with
00:31stature skin, it's obvious that clear, wrinkle-free skin is seen as a badge of prestige. And considering
00:36the price, you could say that owning and showing off an LED mask is the beauty equivalent of carrying
00:41around the latest it bag. But according to consultant dermatologist Dr. Jonathan Kentley,
00:46LED masks are by no means necessary, even if they are taking over social media. For those on the hunt
00:51for clearer, fresher skin without the confusion or potential for irritation, an LED mask could be
00:56a better, simpler solution than, say, retinol or acids, because it's easy to go overboard with these.
01:02Provided that you're using it regularly and as instructed, the expert consensus is that it's
01:07possible to reap the rewards, all in the comfort of your own home, no less. If you're keen to know
