There are many secrets behind how celebrities always look flawless at big red carpet events. But, in recent years there has been one product that A-listers, such as Renée Zellweger, Kaley Cuoco and Gal Gadot all have in common:an LED face mask.
During Golden Globes preparations last year the rather horror-movie like gadget was spotted on numerous celebrity make-up artists Instagram feeds. But even before 2021, many stars have spoken out about their love of the light skin therapy.
Kourtney Kardashian has often uploaded Instagram stories of her donning an LED face mask, while, back in 2019, Victoria Beckham shared two images of herself with her millions of Instagram followers testing her own LED face mask.
Beckham explained to followers on her Instagram story that she had been sent the face mask from Australian celebrity facialist Melanie Grant due to its major skin benefits: "Red light is for collagen and blood flow."
She continued: "White light is anti-inflammatory, healing and firming. Blue is antibacterial and so good for blemish prone skin."
While a celebrity-approved LED mask from Current Body will set you back anything from £279 to up to £500, it's fair to say they're an investment.
However, if you are intrigued and want to give it a go Aldi has just restocked its own version of the mask, for just £49.99.
Having launched in 2021, the very affordable LED mask sold out within days, so if you want to upgrade your skincare routine in 2022, and try out one of A-listers beauty secrets for under £50, we suggest you add the online exclusive item to your basket ASAP.
How LED light therapy works
Using different wavelengths of light, LED masks are a non-invasive way of rejuvenating tired skin and reducing signs of ageing.
The scientific word for the process is photobiomodulation, which is a process you'll find available as a treatment in some high-tech spas. Each mask comes with three lights which denote the wavelength.
Blue lights - the lowest UV wavelength, is great to treat acne and decrease signs of spots. The red light penetrates a little deeper to help stimulate collagen production and increase blood circulation, and the near-infrared light penetrates the skin at the deepest level, targeting anti-ageing.
Why we rate it:
Aldi's affordable version not only has all the LED lights (red, green and blue) needed to be effective. It also has velcro straps so it's easy to put on and tailor to your face.
