11 LED Light-Therapy Masks That Will Make Your Skin Glow

This wireless mask features seven different color options to address every issue imaginable on the face: red and blue (the usual suspects) along with green (for discoloration), yellow (for fine lines and wrinkles), purple (for scar reduction), light blue (for a more soothing acne treatment), and white (which tightens and penetrates the deepest). It also comes with a bonus attachment for the neck, arguably the most overlooked part of skin-care routines (sad).

If you have things to do and places to be, strap this baby on. Using two different wavelengths of red light, it focuses all its energy on firming and evening everything out. Stick to ten-minute treatments three to five times a week, and you’ll look generally glowier and healthier in just four weeks.

This soft, silicone mask is less hockey goalie and more like an actual face mask that molds to your face shape for a more comfortable treatment. If you have overall rejuvenation in mind, this pick delivers red light and near-infrared 830-nanometer light, considered one of the most powerful of the wavelengths, to stimulate healing and improve blood and lymph circulation while you kick up your feet, sit back, and relax.

This LED mask from Dr. Dennis Gross is one of the more fashionable ones on the market. It comes with gold accents, 162 LED lights, and three convenient three-minute treatment options to choose from: red-light therapy, blue-light therapy, or red- and blue-light therapy. This mask is lightweight, completely hands free, and now comes in limited-edition black if you’re looking to stand out from the other LED-mask selfies on the feed.

If you want to harness the power of LED light without dropping half a grand, this millennial-pink mask is a good place to start. You’ll have to wear it around longer than most models to reap the same benefits (15 to 30 minutes compared with the typical three to ten minutes), but it’s wireless, comes with three different wavelengths (blue for acne, red for anti-aging, and orange for a nice overall glow), and has a price tag that isn’t in the triple or quadruple digits.

You’ve probably seen this haunting creation creeping on your Instagram feed thanks to celebrity aesthetician Shani Darden, who uses its whopping 770 LED lights on her celebrity clients. It will set you back $1,900, but you’ll probably end up looking like January Jones, Jessica Alba, Nina Dobrev, or a Kardashian in terms of skin texture.

This mask is like those weird Kanye glasses except it’s for your entire face and you can actually see out of it without lines obstructing your view. It’s designed to be very wearable and suitable for when you’re on the go (the mask is set on a glasses frame so it won’t slip or fall off should you travel from room to room), so you can continue doing whatever you’re doing while treating your skin to red, blue, or yellow lights.

If your skin is temperamental, it’s nice to have a well-rounded, high-performance mask on call. Designed to replicate MZ Skin founder Dr. Maryam Zamani’s in-office treatments, it comes with five different light settings (red, blue, green, yellow, and white) so you can focus on anything from inflamed breakouts to the annoying scars and discoloration those pimples sometimes leave in their wake.

The CellReturn mask is one of the best-selling masks in Korea, where skin care reigns supreme, and its stats shed some light on why. Made with NASA-developed technology, an impressive 690 LEDs, three wavelengths of light (red, pink, and blue), zero cords, zero wires, and no control panel (you tap your forehead to switch wavelengths), it simply becomes one with your face and makes it firmer, plumper, and younger-looking.
