7 LED light therapy masks for a tailored skin treatment from your lounge

This mask has a cult Hollywood following (Lucy Hale, Halle Berry and our life’s idol Kris Jenner are among the celebs that have sung its praises) for very good reason. It hones in on the two most popular light colours–red and blue–to smooth wrinkles, diminish discolouration, and clear away acne while also stimulating collagen production. The best bit? Each session runs for just three minutes, so you can treat yourself at any time; a perk to keep in mind when you remember the price tag.

A favourite of both Teigen and our ultimate Aussie crush Phoebe Tonkin, this lightweight, portable mask is crafted from soft medical-grade silicones, making it a much easier-to-store option than some of the sturdier alternatives. As for the treatments it offers, you can choose between red and near-infrared wavelengths (10 to 20 minute sessions are recommended 3-5 days a week) to leave skin calm, plump and bright. It does cost a pretty penny, though...

Let us start by saying that several celebs (such as Kaley Cuoco, Carey Mulligan and Renée Zellweger) are giant fans of this red and near infra-red light mask (like, 'have used it to get their Golden Globes/Oscars red carpet glow levels sorted' kind of fans). If that's not enough to convince you to pick one up, maybe the fact that it's actually a flexi-fit mask that moulds to your face will...

If you’re willing to invest in the ultimate all-rounder, allow us to introduce the ideal option for you.

If you trust Julia Roberts’ recommendations (and we certainly do), this multitasking mask is your winner. One of the few versions that features cyan light as an option (ideal for sending puffiness packing), it also offers red, blue, purple, orange, green and yellow. Talk about an overachiever (especially considering it comes in at $499; pretty reasonable in the LED game). Did we mention Delta Goodrem also named using it as her number one beauty tip? That’s a pretty ringing endorsement.
