LED (light-emitting diodes) light therapy comes in a range of colors for different wavelengths. Blue light is made up of the shortest waves and carries the most energy. Everyone knows about the blue light that comes from their screens that can keep you awake at night, however, in specific, concentrated doses blue LED light can do wonders for your skin.
Light therapy started out as NASA technology. Now it's used across a range of visible light spectrums to offer unique skin and pain relief benefits. Blue LED light treatment uses blue light emitting diodes to kill acne-causing bacteria on the skin.
Yes. In this clinical study, participants saw less acne, blackheads, whiteheads, inflammation and skin irritation following treatment. And they felt comfortable administering the treatment by themselves too. They reported no pain and the study concluded essentially that blue LED lights are effective against mild to moderate acne and skin concerns.
It’s most effective against mild to moderate acne. Professional-grade devices like the CurrentBody Skin Anti-Acne LED Face Mask are also effective for a larger range of concerns including fine lines and wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, redness, psoriasis and muscle or joint pain. That’s because it combines blue LED lights with red and near-infrared lights to maximize the light therapy benefits.
Absolutely. There are a wide range of LED masks, wands and devices available to home consumers. You should consider what type of light is best for treating your skin concerns:
Based on the benefits of each wavelength, you can choose the device best suited to your skin concerns.
The best blue LED light therapy device for treating mild to moderate acne on the face is our CurrentBody Skin Anti-Acne LED Face Mask. It combines blue (415nm) light with anti-inflammatory red (633nm) light to effectively reduce redness, swelling and acne-causing bacteria. Together, these wavelengths are 36% more effective at treating acne than blue light alone.
For the odd breakout, the CurrentBody Skin Anti-Acne LED Pen provides quick spot reduction. Although it uses the same light therapy technology as the Anti-Acne LED Face Mask, the pen is a smaller, more compact device. It’s perfect for reducing a breakout in 3 minutes, without drying out the skin or disrupting the skin barrier (or your schedule).
Our pick for the best multifunctional LED light therapy device is the Dermalux Flex MD. That’s because it combines blue LED lights, red LED lights and near-infrared LED lights in one device to treat a larger range of skin conditions. Plus, it can be used on any part of the body, not just the face.
If you're looking to specifically target the face, CurrentBody Skin LED Light Therapy Face Mask gives you the perfect combination of red and near-infrared LED lights to target fine lines, wrinkles and skin texture in a comfortable, flexible mask that hugs the face.
]]>What’s the difference between IPL vs laser hair removal? With the average woman spending around $30,000 on hair removal in her lifetime, it’s high-time we got some answers about the best hair removal treatment for you.
Laser hair removal generates a single beam of a powerful, concentrated light wavelength to absorb melanin within the hair follicle. Over multiple treatment sessions, this laser energy generates heat—which progressively weakens and permanently disables the hair follicle, resulting in long-term hair reduction.
Just like laser hair removal, IPL also targets melanin to destroy hair follicles. However, unlike laser treatments that use a single wavelength, IPL utilises multiple light wavelengths to emit diffused energy, ensuring minimal to zero skin damage.
These wavelengths are delivered in continuous, consecutive pulses—resembling the effect of a camera flash. This is the technology that can be most commonly found in home use hair removal devices use for achieving long-term hair removal. While effective, IPL does not give the same lasting results that laser provides.
Both IPL and laser hair removal offer various benefits for women, helping to control peach fuzz, maintain smooth skin and hormonal hair growth. For men, these technologies offer solutions to reducing ingrown hairs from shaving.
Laser is effective for black or dark brown hair, along with a broader range of skin tones with contrasting hair colors. IPL works best for light to medium skin types with dark hair, as well as targeting light brown hair. Neither method is suitable for blonde, gray, red or white hair.
Although laser devices and IPL technology both use light energy, laser hair removal machines are proven to be more powerful. Laser is also the clinic choice for professional hair removal. IPL produces a broader spectrum beam of diffused light energy, making it less effective at targeting each hair follicle with power and precision.
No, IPL hair removal is typically less painful than professional laser treatments in-clinic because it uses lower-intensity light. However, both technologies feel the same when used in a portable, home use device engineered with advanced cooling air systems and UV sensors to minimize discomfort.
We recommend to prioritize eye protection by wearing the goggles often provided. Many at home devices use skin safety sensors, such as the AMIRO A2 IPL Hair Removal Device. Built-in sensors optimize the amount of light waves for your skin tone, while sophisticated Bi-Layer 360° technology reduces skin surface temperature to a comfortable 10/15°C for a pain free experience.
While both laser and IPL may lead to temporary side effects like minor redness and minimal swelling, IPL and laser hair removal are suitable for sensitive skin types.
Research says it takes 4 to 6 sessions over 12 to 16 weeks to see significant results with IPL hair removal, although some devices can achieve similar results within just 4 sittings.
Laser hair removal works even faster, showing results in 3 to 4 sessions. The CurrentBody Skin Laser Hair Removal Device is the only FDA-cleared permanent at home laser hair removal device on the market, proven to reduce hair count by 80% in just 4 weeks. One independent study found that 93% of users were left with no hair root residue after using this laser hair removal device 2 to 3 times per week for 4 weeks.
Results from intensive twice-monthly sessions for 12 weeks typically last for 6 to 8 months, with the opportunity to extend to 1.5 years with repeated touch-ups every 3 months. Hair growth variations can influence the longevity of these results. For example, hormone-driven hair regrowth over the lip, chin, underarms, chest, back and bikini line may need more touch-ups than the hairline, arms, legs, hands and feet.
While both technologies have their advantages, laser hair removal is faster, more precise and can cater to darker skin tones while delivering permanent hair reduction. IPL and laser technology are also both available for safe, self-administered home use on the face, arms, legs, bikini line, chest and hands.
In-clinic laser sessions can cost anywhere between $600 to $2000, whereas the CurrentBody Skin Laser Hair Removal Device offers an affordable one-time purchase. IPL hair removal provides similar results to laser, and can be found in a wider range of home use devices.
]]>Gareth Bromell, the celebrity groomer who prepped Cillian Murphy’s hair and makeup for the 'Oppenheimer' press tour and consequent award season, knows the best way to prep skin before makeup. Bromell has experienced it all—from backstage at Alexander McQueen, Gucci and Roberto Cavalli shows, to the pages of Vogue, Marie Claire, Vanity Fair and Harper’s BAZAAR. And Cillian Murphy isn't the only A-list on his books; Bromell is the go-to stylist for 'The Crown' actress Claire Foy, singer-songwriter Lily Allen and the award-winning actress and model, Caitríona Balfe.
We caught up with Bromell after the 2024 Golden Globes, and asked for his best-kept secrets on how to prepare skin for makeup from his 20+ years of industry experience—here’s what we found out.
What are your non-negotiables when it comes to skin prep for makeup?
"I think the key is not to try anything too invasive, especially if you’re prepping for a big event. I always refer my clients to visit my friend and colleague, Debbie Thomas, at her London clinic for a Hydrafacial and some light collagen laser for the ultimate skin glow. It’s a great quick fix for achieving a red carpet glow, and it creates a lovely base to work on. Of course, drinking lots of water and getting enough sleep is recommended—but this should be a habit most people adopt, big event or not."
"Skin hydration is really important. When makeup is applied to dry areas, it can look really cakey and overdone. This is where I’ll use hyaluronic acids, niacinamide and ceramides to help address this. Actually, CurrentBody Skin has some great Hydrogel Masks that give a quick boost of hydration and a nice plumping effect."
What’s the best skin prep before makeup to get that flawless base seen on so many of your clients, such as Cillian Murphy?
"Yeah, I think prepping the skin before makeup is critical for looking your dewiest self, especially in men’s grooming as the skin tends to look a little drier and oiler than with women. I normally begin with a cooling cleanser and gentle exfoliating toner, something that has PHAs, BHAs or AHAs to brighten up the skin. Then I’ll add a Hydrogel Mask with the CurrentBody LED mask on top for about 10 minutes."
"That gives the skin a much healthier glow. I actually have a selection of male clients that love the extra glow the LED mask gives them, so I use it every time. And for the final step of skin prep, I use vitamin C and liquid peptides for optimal hydration and smoothness."
How long have you been using LED on your clients?
"I was actually first introduced to LED therapy 15 years ago by my facialist—it was just amazing to see the results. So when the first home use LED masks appeared, I just introduced them into my skin prep for all of my clients and they’ve become a staple in my kit ever since."
Are there any other home use beauty gadgets in your kit?
"I use the LED Eye Perfector, depending on who I’m working with, for a more hyper-targeted approach. It only takes 3 minutes to refresh the eye area which is a bonus. But another great one is the ZIIP HALO for quickly sculpting the face. You can really see a difference straight away, and also Margot Robbie is a fan, so who wouldn’t trust that?! I’m also a big fan of lasers. IPL is amazing for sun damage, dark spots and broken veins on the skin, as well as radio frequency for skin tightening."
Gareth Bromell has taken what was once a clinic-only beauty technology and brought it backstage to the red carpet, recreating the same glow from his LED facial 15 years ago. Ready to achieve the Hollywood glow? Meet Bromell's go-to LED mask, the CurrentBody Skin LED Light Therapy Face Mask—it's the must-have staple in his beauty kit!
Science backed and clinically proven to stimulate collagen, this mask's patented Pillow Technology™ gives the maximum amount of LED (light-emitting diode) light therapy coverage for the best possible results. When these wavelengths are in contact with the skin, they immediately activate specific cells to renew and regenerate—resulting in immediately fresher, smoother and younger looking skin.
Users have seen improvements in skin tone, texture and firmness, not to mention feeling a boost in confidence after use. Independent clinical studies have also shown that this mask is 31% more effective than any other mask currently on the market; one of the main reasons why it's a must-have for celebrity groomers and makeup artists like Gareth Bromell.
]]>Microcurrent facial toning, often referred to as the 'non-invasive facelift’ by aestheticians and beauty editors, use tiny electrical waves to gently contract the facial muscles. This makes the muscles grow stronger, resulting in an instantly more lifted, toned and sculpted appearance.
Celebrities such as Jennifer Aniston, Margot Robbie and Bella Hadid are all advocates for microcurrent facials in helping maintain their smooth and contoured complexions. While this technology is highly praised within the industry, you might be asking, ‘but what is a microcurrent facial?’ Here are 5 things you need to know before introducing microcurrent into your routine.
Microcurrent devices like the NuFACE TRINITY+ are designed to be simple, effective and user friendly for home use. They deliver low-level electrical current with a compact, super efficient handheld device that’s easy to travel with; ideal for holidays, weekends away and event prep.
Microcurrent facials are for preventing and reversing the visible signs of aging, which places them well for all age groups. Starting in your 20’s means that you’re seeing the tightening, toning and sculpting results sooner, enhancing the anti-aging effect as you get into your 30’s. A device like the FOREO BEAR™ 2 is incredibly easy to use and is a great microcurrent device to start using in your 20’s because of its simple, yet powerful functionality.
Yes. However, we always advise you to consult your doctor for specific post-treatment recommendations. Generally speaking, if you’ve had a Botox or dermal filler session, I would advise you wait 2 weeks post-treatment to have any microcurrent facial.
Microcurrent facials are completely painless. In fact, they can even be relaxing! The ZIIP HALO is especially gentle as it uses a blend of low-level ZIIP Nanocurrent™ and microcurrent to stimulate the facial muscles. This device is also the only at home device that uses ZIIP Nanocurrent™—tiny waves that stimulate collagen production below the skin’s surface.
At home microcurrent devices are generally inexpensive and a good value for money, especially when you can use them frequently in the comfort of your own home. It’s an empowering experience to achieve salon-level facials within minutes, and the prices are fair for the kind of results you get.
The MyoLift™ QT Plus is a user friendly microcurrent machine that's designed to be powerful enough for professional in-clinic use and portable enough for easy at home sessions. The MyoLift™ app even recommends treatments based on your unique skin preferences. With an adjustable electrical output of 175µA to 400µA, the QT Plus is perfect for microcurrent beginners or experienced professionals.
Before starting your at home microcurrent facials, there are a few instances where microcurrent devices would not be suitable. These include pregnancy, active skin conditions such as acne, along with heart conditions or implantable devices. Always check with your healthcare provider before purchasing if you’re unsure.
]]>But, should you find your inspiration lacking, we've found the best beauty gadgets, beauty stocking fillers and Holiday beauty ideas from the likes of NuFACE, ZIIP, CurrentBody Skin and BeautyBio. We’ve even taken into consideration the latest facial trends of 2023, with advice from celebrity skin experts, facialists and plastic surgeons. Take a look.
What is the facial trend in 2023?
Among the most popular 2023 facial trends is jawline contouring, reaching its peak popularity in early January with many celebrities—Chrissy Teigen, Lea Michelle and Bella Hadid amongst them—turning to buccal fat removal for permanent facial sculpting. It’s a procedure that removes the buccal fat in the cheeks to accentuate the cheekbones and create a slimmer face. And it’s not a treatment to be taken lightly.
Many skin experts, plastic surgeons and aesthetic doctors agree that consumers should be cautious about trending cosmetic procedures, as they might not be suitable for everyone. “I don’t think it should be removed on its own, especially in young people,” says reconstructive and plastic surgeon, Naveen Cavale. “If you remove a lot of fat from the face when someone is young, you have no idea how they will age, especially as fat depletes with age anyway.”
At home electrical beauty devices are a popular alternative to these permanent, in-clinic jawline contouring treatments as they’re quick, easy to use and risk free. Microcurrent facial devices, such as the NuFACE Trinity Facial Toning Device and ZIIP HALO, are even used by celebrities like Jennifer Aniston and ‘Barbie’ superstar, Margot Robbie to achieve their youthful, yet contoured complexions.
NuFACE has long been a go-to brand for microcurrent facial toning gadgets. The NuFACE MINI+ Facial Toning Starter Kit includes the lightweight MINI+ Smart Petite Facial Toning Device in the limited edition ‘brilliant white’ colorway, along with 2 sizes of the ultra hydrating Aqua Gel and silver applicator brush.
For something a little more luxurious, the ZIIP HALO Complete Gift Set features the world’s most powerful facial toning device and the complete range of ZIIP Conductive Gels—each with their own unique skincare benefits for anti-aging, barrier repair and hydration. Enhance skin radiance, restore elasticity and lift your facial features in minutes with the ZIIP HALO gift set.
Light therapy has also progressively become a trending topic. According to Google Trends, the search volume for 'light therapy' has grown by +66% and 'anti-aging products' has increased by +81% globally from September 2023. This shows that consumers are not only interested in looking younger, but also searching for a more holistic approach to anti-aging.
Specifically, red light therapy is proven to be one of the best ways to naturally stimulate collagen, boost skin elasticity and accelerate cellular healing. And although this technology has been used professionally for years by experts in-clinic, high quality LED light therapy face masks are now readily available for home use.
New for Christmas 2023, the CurrentBody Skin Limited Edition LED Beauty Gift Set includes an exclusive festive edition of the award-winning LED Face Mask in metallic silver. Paired with the LED enhancing and glow inducing Green Tea Serum (30ml) trusted by dermatologists for reducing hyperpigmentation, and house in a metallic silver travel bag.
Celebrity facialist Fabricio Ormonde, says that combining technologies in a single facial treatment can actually lend itself to even more dramatic results. “I currently combine radio frequency with microcurrent and LED light therapy to address skin tightening, muscle tone and collagen stimulation in a single treatment.” The good news? This multi-tool approach isn’t just for clinicians and facialists.
For anyone that wants to bring the salon experience home, you can achieve the same anti-aging results using portable, home use beauty devices. Ideal for topping up your treatment between facial appointments, or simply elevating your beauty routine and skipping the salon altogether.
Speaking of at-home facials, the BeautyBio Pro Hydration Facial Gift Set has everything you’ll need to achieve a buttery smooth, hydrated glow from home. The Hydro-Infusion Pore Cleansing Tool exfoliates dead cells and eliminates blackheads—mimicking the results of a professional hydrofacial in-clinic. This Holiday exclusive comes with 2 gentle salicylic acid concentrates (20ml), along with the brand's new collagen peptide concentrate (50ml) for even more youthful results.
If clogged pores aren't a problem, then you might consider the BeautyBio Showstopping Skincare Heroes Gift Set as the perfect present for anyone wanting to brighten dark circles, calm redness and reduce puffiness. This showstopping set features the award-winning microneedling tool, The Eyelighter Brightening Serum & Depuffing Tool (15ml), along with The ZenBubble Calming Gel Cream (50ml) that improves skin hydration by 65% after a single application.

Within a short amount of time my skin texture improved, pores were smaller and my lines all round have definitely decreased. A bonus is I find it a relaxing 10 minutes just for me!”
Don’t have 10 minutes? No problem. Target the areas you want to refresh the most in 3 minutes with the CurrentBody Skin LED Eye Perfector and CurrentBody Skin LED Lip Perfector. Loved by celebrity makeup artist’s to get their clients ready for the red carpet, these devices are great for quickly depuffing eyes and plumping lip volume.
Nick Barose, makeup artist to Lauren Ridloff, considers the Eye Perfector as the perfect first step before makeup: “Concealer glides on like a dream, with a flawless finish.” Designed to stimulate collagen and elastin, this eye brightening gadget uses 4 clinically proven wavelengths to diminish dark circles, eye bags, crow’s feet, brow furrows and fine lines.

It’s getting colder, and the day of the Holiday party is getting even closer.

Even more effective than sheet masks alone, the UFO 3 is designed to mimic in-spa facials, featuring cryo-therapy, thermo-therapy and LED light therapy. The best part?

The best way to ensure your sheet masks and skincare products are fully absorbed into your skin, is with regular steam facials. When used for around 5 minutes after your first cleanse, you can easily lift trapped oil, makeup, dirt and debris from your pores. This sets you up with the smoothest, clearest and freshest skin for flawless makeup application on the day of your big event.

On the day
Before getting started on your skincare routine, take a few minutes to remove peach fuzz with the bestselling DERMAFLASH LUXE+ Device. Not only does it create a hair free base for makeup, but the light exfoliation of dead skin cells also makes skin silky smooth.
One customer said of her experience: "I really love this device. It works, it’s easy to use, no chance of cutting yourself...and skin feels incredibly soft afterwards. You could get the same result with an eyebrow razor, or a dermaplane blade (tried that. It was a bloodbath for me), but this is a simple, thorough, and safe way to do it. I’ve found that even those thick and dark hairs don’t grow as quickly (no idea why that is. Any tool is just cutting the hair off at the surface of the skin. This tool has some wizardry)."
And for anyone experiencing a last-minute breakout, don’t worry. The FACEGYM Acne Light Shot can reduce breakouts in 20 minutes using clinically proven blue LED light therapy. It instantly calms inflammation; reducing pore size and oiliness by up to 80% without any need for downtime. One reviewer said, "My teenage son has already claimed it for himself. Truly though, he had this breakout on his chin, he used it for 4 days straight and I couldn't believe the difference it made in his breakout! By day 4 and it was practically invisible."
Blue light at the specific (415nm) wavelength is also known to prevent future breakouts and soothe inflammatory acne. We recommend using FACEGYM’s Acne Light Shot once daily to keep your complexion clear before the all-important Christmas party.
]]>We’ve rounded up the most effective professional radio frequency devices for home use in 2023. Discover the best radio frequency skin tightening machines here.
Recognized by Kate Bosworth and Charlize Theron as the secret to their tightened and lifted skin, radio frequency devices are no longer exclusive to A-list clinics. Now, you can bring the power of radio frequency treatments into your own at home beauty routine. RF (radio frequency) facials are clinically proven to soften fine lines and wrinkles, while tightening sagging skin. At this point you may be asking, ‘but what is a radio frequency treatment?’ Here we’ll explain how radio frequency works, what results you can expect, along with an up-to-date look at world-leading devices.
Radio frequency is all about stimulating your skin’s natural collagen and elastin production. During the skin tightening treatment, radio frequency waves pass through the skin from one pole to another. When the skin resists these waves, it heaps up, stimulating collagen. As there is an optimal collagen-producing temperature and because everyone’s skin resistance can vary, maintaining this temperature can be a challenge. This is where some at home RF devices stand out against the rest.
There are 3 radio frequency methods available: monopolar, bipolar and multipolar. Each method is distinguished by the number of poles it uses. Monopolar uses a single electrode tip, which delivers energy to the space between the electrode and the grounding plate. Whereas the bipolar method passes waves between 2 electrodes and multipolar using 3. According to a recent clinical study, bipolar was more effective at increasing skin tightness, hydration levels, density and barrier function in women aged between 20 to 69 years, regardless of therapy duration when compared to monopolar.
You do feel a comfortable warming sensation (almost like a hot stone face massage), and you may experience some mild redness after your treatment. Both are completely normal. While there isn’t any downtime, it’s recommended to complete your RF facials during your night-time routine to benefit from additional collagen renewal as you sleep.
Expert Advice: Do not use radio frequency devices if you have had a professional chemical peel, facial abrasion, ablative laser treatments, botox, fillers or plastic surgery within the past 3 months.
The main benefits of radio frequency skin tightening facials are to reduce the visible signs of aging. After the first treatment, skin becomes plumper, firmer and smoother. And with consistent use, you’ll notice a reduction of fine lines and wrinkles, along with more lifted and tighter skin. For anyone experiencing loss of firmness and dullness in their skin, it's the ideal long-term solution to restore your glow.

Delivered through LED diode bulbs straight to your skin, see what the power of red light therapy can do for you.
LED light therapy, explained
NASA were the first to use this technology to assist plant growth, while the Navy SEALs used it for accelerating wound healing in those with musculoskeletal injuries. It wasn't long before this regenerative light therapy was adopted by medical and aesthetic professionals.
“A good way to think of it,” explains Aesthetic Surgeon, Dr. Glyn Estebanez, “Is like plants absorbing sunlight to power photosynthesis and boost tissue growth. Human cells can absorb light wavelengths to stimulate the production of collagen and elastin.” Reported by the Evening Standard.
What is red LED light therapy good for?
LED light therapy uses varying wavelengths to activate the skin’s natural cell rejuvenation and repair process. Red and near-infrared wavelengths are used for accelerated, non-invasive anti-aging due to their collagen and elastin stimulating properties.
Red light therapy wavelengths are ideal for fading fine lines, wrinkles and inflammation. It’s also extremely effective for tackling acne, rosacea and sun damage.
Near-infrared light is the deepest absorbed wavelength. It’s used to reverse the signs of aging by improving skin elasticity, reducing inflammation, redness and wound healing.
Combined, these wavelengths deliver immediate and lasting results for fresher, calmer and healthier skin. They also target other skin conditions and cosmetic concerns, such as rosacea, eczema and psoriasis. Suitable for both face and body, this professional medical-grade technology has the ability to truly transform your skin.
The benefits of red LED light therapy are more than just skin deep. It’s been proven to support the production of vitamin D, with users finding that regular treatments reduce stress and improve energy levels.
LED red light therapy for anti-aging
"Red light and near-infrared light wavelengths really help to reduce inflammation and create collagen," explains Aesthetics Clinician, Dr. Ayah. Collagen helps the skin look younger, plumper and more evenly textured – which some studies have shown naturally decreases from our mid twenties onwards. This is where the term ‘prejuvenation’ comes in.
Discussed in the Evening Standard – “Prejuvenation is a preventative protocol that combines a good skincare regime with non-surgical treatments to help promote collagen production and support the skin barrier,” says cosmetic surgeon and founder of 111 Harley Street Cosmetic Clinic, Dr. Yannis Alexandrides. When it comes to anti-aging, prevention is also key for award-winning Aesthetician, Dr. Ahmed El Muntasar who argues, “Prevention is always better than a cure.”
For those of us who want a skin refresh, red light therapy will deliver rejuvenating skincare results no matter your age.
LED face mask before and after
As quoted by the Evening Standard – "Beauty tech is CurrentBody’s bread and butter.” That could be why our original flexible red LED Light Therapy Mask has been loved by A-lister’s, celebrity makeup artists and customers around the globe. Featuring red (633nm) and near-infrared (830nm) wavelengths to support professional anti-aging from home.

Clinically proven to accelerate the skin-rejuvenating effects of red LED light therapy, you’ll notice fewer wrinkles when you apply the CurrentBody Skin Green Tea Serum before your LED treatments.

]]>Your skin cells repair overnight, that’s why it’s imperative that you don’t sleep in makeup. By developing a nightly skincare routine, you can avoid clogging your pores and the visible signs of premature ageing. If your daily schedule makes creating a consistent routine difficult, try removing your makeup as soon as you get home. Keep a backup bottle of makeup remover and cotton pads next to your bedside, just in case.
If your new year’s resolution is to get more sleep, then your skin, mind and body will all benefit from the change. Sleep is integral for muscle recovery, collagen production and memory. For those who struggle to wind down for sleep, here’s what we recommend.
Once you’ve removed your makeup for the day, simply put on the light blocking Dr. Harris Anti-Wrinkle Sleep Mask which is clinically proven to improve relaxation & aid sleep. The feature that makes this mask truly unique are the raised silicone dots on the inside edge of the mask - these dots stimulate receptors in the skin which increases relaxion. Plus, these dots also showed to reduce fine lines around the eye area by helping to relax the face whilst wearing the mask.
You might be tired of hearing it, but skin experts will never stop recommending that you wear a broad-spectrum every day. This step might be the most important action you can take for your skin to protect against ageing UVA rays that cause free radical damage, along with burning UVB rays. Apply a sunscreen of at least SPF30 PA++++ rain, cloud or shine over your face, neck and décollatage straight after moisturiser.
Reverse some of the visible signs of ageing and sun damage with the medical-grade and award-winning Dermalux Flex MD LED Light Therapy Device. Designed for face and full body use, the clinically proven LED (light-emitting diode) wavelengths rejuvenate cells 4cm below the skin’s surface. Trusted and used by doctors and skincare professionals in-clinic, this technology helps to fade sun spots, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation and calm inflammation.
Although we don’t agree you need a completely new skincare routine or the latest beauty gadgets to achieve your skin resolutions, there are a few ways we recommend elevating and upgrading your current beauty regimen.
Support your at-home skincare routine and regular aesthetician appointments with professional-grade beauty gadgets designed for home use. Use the same clinic-grade technology used by skin care specialists in-clinic to top up your results, as recommended by aesthetics doctor and owner of Harmony Medical, Dr. Ayah. “What we find is that at home devices are fantastic at supporting what we do in-clinic, and they really do enhance the results.”
The CurrentBody Skin LED 4-in-1 Zone Facial Mapping Mask has a similar multi-faceted approach to personalised treatments. But instead of 70 minutes, it needs only 10 minutes of hands free wear to target key skin concerns. Using 5 clinically proven LED light therapy wavelengths, this face mask is the first on the market to feature Zone Facial Mapping—strategically placed wavelengths that stimulate varying levels of cellular activity depending on the area of the face. This makes reducing excess oil production, redness on the cheeks, fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes, as well as breakouts easy to treat and target.
We can’t forget about the glow-inducing and skin health benefits of lymphatic drainage. The NuFACE TRINITY+ Facial Toning Device uses microcurrent to boost circulation, strengthen the facial muscles and effectively stimulate lymphatic drainage. Trusted and widely used by professionals in-clinic, this specific device by NuFACE only needs 5 minutes of use, 5 times a week to see visible results within 4 weeks. These results include plumper, more defined cheekbones, a sharper jawline and lifted brows.
Although it may seem like an easy resolution, many of us get caught up in our daily schedules and often forget to invest as much time as we should to our hair health and body wellness. To help you stick to this and effectively incorporate into your routine, we recommend setting 10 minutes aside every day to help stimulate hair growth and scalp health; as well as enjoying a moment of relaxation.
The CurrentBody Skin LED Hair Regrowth Device is a wearable, hands free and Bluetooth-enabled helmet that uses clinically proven LED light therapy to encourage blood flow, oxygen and nutrients to the hair follicles. Proven to increase hair count by 33% in 16 weeks, there’s no better time to start investing in your hair than now.
We also recommend setting some time aside, even once per week, for a full body self-care ritual. Not only will this make you feel great, but your mental clarity, energy levels and muscle performance will improve too. Famously used by actresses and supermodels, such as Lady Gaga, Cindy Crawford and Bella Hadid, infrared saunas are a great way to detoxify, boost lymphatic circulation, speed up post-workout muscle recovery and reduce inflammation. The HigherDOSE V4 Infrared Sauna Blanket offers all the benefits of an in-person infrared sauna, but packaged in a comfortable, private and accessible blanket used from home.

]]>If you’ve started to notice your hair thinning, your hairline receding or pattern balding, then it may be time to invest in clinic-grade hair regrowth technology for professional results. The most effective hair growth technology on the market uses low-level lasers or microneedles to stimulate hair follicles. This has been shown to reduce the size of bald patches, enhance thickness and stimulate regrowth. The sooner you begin, the better your long-term results will be. Here's the leading technology for the at-home hair regrowth.
Laser hair regrowth
The affordable, entry-level laser hair loss treatment cap is the first of 3 models from Capillus. As an FDA-Cleared genetic hair loss treatment for men or women, the CapillusUltra Laser Cap for Hair Regrowth is easy and comfortable to wear while you go about your activities. Regrow your hair and nurture fuller, healthier-looking locks that you’ll notice after 6 to 12 months. Simply wear for 6 to 25 minutes (as directed) while you go about your day.
The iGrow Laser Hair Rejuvenation System is specially designed to combat pattern hair loss, promoting hair growth through effective laser light therapy. In just 4 months on daily 20 to 25 minute treatments, see hair feeling thicker and fuller. It’s proven to increase hair growth by 35% in men and 37% in women when used as directed. Plus, with the compatible audio port, connect your smartphone, PlayStation or Xbox to play music or game during sessions.
LED light therapy
Leading red light therapy treatment for hair growth and thinning hair, the CurrentBody Skin LED Hair Regrowth Device is clinically proven to give up to 66% more growth than topical, laser and supplement treatments alone. FDA-Cleared LED wavelength (640nm) increases blood flow to affected hair follicles, while increasing scalp circulation to strengthen the follicles and extend the growth (anagen) phase for newer, thicker hair regrowth.
Make sure to following the recommended treatment plan of daily, 10-minute sessions for 16 weeks to activate a higher number of hair follicles per cm² compared to laser hair regrowth treatments. Depending on your hair regrowth cycle you should start to see results by 6 to 8 weeks. Connect to Bluetooth during your hands-free session for uninterrupted listening.
Microneedling
Clinically proven to boost the look of hair density by 50%, fortify your hair, rejuvenate your scalp and encourage hair growth. When using microneedling, just run the device over your scalp to allow serums to absorb and to stimulate cell turnover. Don’t worry, the needles are not long enough to actually hurt you. Instead, you’ll feel a tingling as it stimulates your scalp during the treatment.
The BeautyBio Rejuvenating Scalp + Fuller Hair Therapy and FolliGRO™ complex in the serum refreshes your follicles to remove buildup and help make that hair growth easier. Use the wand together with the serum 1 to 2 times per week on clean, dry or damp hair. Just part, roll, add the serum and repeat for each section. You’ll notice thicker hair, better scalp health and reduced thinning in just 60 days.

In clinic, Dr. Ayah treats everything from acne and rosacea to melasma and hyperpigmentation using powerful, medical-grade LED devices. But that’s not all. “I’ve treated multiple patients with at-home devices and they’ve worked significantly,” she explains. “What we find is that at-home devices are fantastic at supporting what we do in-clinic, and they really do enhance the results.”
LED (light-emitting diode) red light therapy has been clinically proven to reduce inflammation, improve skin firmness and tone while increasing collagen. Collagen is the protein that makes up the architecture of our skin – making it firmer, smoother and younger-looking.
"When my patients come into my clinic, 90% of them already treat themselves at home with LED red light therapy devices and effective skincare. Which means they don’t need to see me a lot,” she laughs. “I’m just there as a bootcamp or an enhancing top up!”
"Red light and near-infrared light wavelengths really help to reduce inflammation and create collagen." If you’re struggling with acne, using an LED red light therapy mask can actually reduce the redness or hyperpigmentation by simply calming the inflammation.
We know that the less inflammation there is, the faster acne and other blemishes heal with minimal to no scarring. Integrate red and near-infrared LED light therapy consistently into your skincare routine for lasting, optimized skin health and resilience.
Treat your LED red light therapy mask like a sheet or clay mask – use over clean, dry skin. Dr. Ayah recommends layering with a performance-enhancing hydrating serum to maximize the LED benefits, like the CurrentBody Skin Green Tea Serum. Once your treatment time is up, then you can continue with the rest of your skincare regimen.
Layering LED red light therapy devices allows you to target certain areas more intensely, similar to a gym workout. If you want to train specific muscles, then you focus on those during your session – the same goes for LED. “Layering allows you to create a custom LED package tailored to your concerns, rather than those of the masses.”
While she agrees you can use a full LED face mask to get an overall improvement, her personal favorite 'Avenger mask' is the CurrentBody Skin LED Eye Perfector. “The reason I like this product so much is because it works really nicely for me and the results are significant.” This specific device blurs fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes and brows, while reducing dark circles and eye bags.
As for her second favorite at-home LED red light therapy device, the CurrentBody Skin LED Light Therapy Mask features heavily in her in-clinic treatments. “I’ve used it in my clinic with a lot of my patients, particularly those struggling with inflammatory problems such as mild cases of eczema, dermatitis and an impaired skin barrier.” She mentions, “Continual use of this mask really just improves the quality of the skin, as well as healthy skin barrier function.”
If one of your primary skin concerns includes reducing or preventing fine lines and wrinkles around the mouth, try the CurrentBody Skin LED Lip Perfector. Plump your pout with the collagen-boosting combination of amber, red, deep red and near-infrared LED wavelengths. The more focused the LED diodes, the better results you'll see for each area.
“I’ve personally tried and trust these CurrentBody Skin products," says Dr. Ayah. And she's not alone. As seen before red carpet events, celebrity makeup artists, A-lister's and dermatologists love the benefits of CurrentBody Skin LED devices.
As quoted from the Evening Standard, “We had high hopes for CurrentBody's own-brand LED mask – and we weren’t disappointed. For pre-party prep, this treatment has you covered.” Have you seen the benefits of at-home red light therapy yet? If not, now's the perfect time.

]]>Rosacea pictures will show this flushing pattern and that’s what sufferers are always looking to treat. But there are many clinical trials showing LED light helps rosacea. So, we’ll explore that treatment option in today’s 5-minute read.
The Mayo Clinic explains, “The cause of rosacea is unknown, but it could be due to an overactive immune system, heredity, environmental factors or a combination of these. Rosacea is not caused by poor hygiene, and it's not contagious.
Flare-ups might be triggered by hot drinks and spicy foods.” It can be soothed with chemical and natural treatments. Before now, most of these treatments were only available in a clinic or salon. But advancements in at-home LED (light-emitting diode) light therapy have provided a new treatment option for rosacea sufferers that they can do in privacy and comfort.
The best long term treatments for rosacea include electrocautery, dermabrasion, laser light medical or salon treatments, medication and Red Light Therapy. The American Academy of Dermatology Association explains the results you can get with lights and lasers. “When used to treat visible blood vessels, most patients see a 50% to 75% reduction in visible blood vessels after 1 to 3 treatments.
Some people see a 100% reduction.” And these effects last for years. When using an at-home red light therapy device, you generally only need to treat your skin for 10 to 20 minutes, 3 to 4 times per week. This treatment can control and reduce your rosacea symptoms in under an hour a week.
As one of the best treatments for acne and rosacea skin – Red Light Therapy – is getting a lot of press. The Red Light Therapy cost has greatly reduced due to home devices like the Dermalux Flex MD Light Therapy Device . It’s powerful and reliable. The Dermalux Flex calms redness and calms rosacea symptoms. The LED light stimulates 'wound healing cells' in the skin, causing news ones to form and even out the colour in your skin tone.
And the patented flexible silicone ensures the light penetrates every area of your face. This can help reduce the size of those broken blood vessels and reduce the redness on your face for less-noticeable rosacea symptoms.
Another device to calm Rosacea is the LYMA Laser, a medical-grade anti-ageing laser treatment for skin renewal at-home. Retain your body's inflammatory response and reduce the look of rosacea with daily 15-minute treatments. See visible results in just one month and skin looks transformed in just 3 to 6 months
If you have smaller rosacea patches, a handheld Red Light Therapy device like the CurrentBody Skin LED Precision might work better. It would allow you to direct the treatment precisely where you need it, and it costs less than £100. It's a great option for effective and affordable rosacea treatments you can do at home.

]]>Aside from medical conditions, dry skin can also be caused by:
Cold or dry weather – In the winter, extreme temperatures can cause dry, flaky skin. Look to switch up your daily routine during these months by applying hydrating skincare products – like a rich night cream or moisturising cleanser.
Harsh soaps or ingredients – If your skin is prone to dryness, steer clear of drying ingredients like fragrances and alcohols.
Chemical peels and exfoliators - We love ingredients such as glycolic acid and salicylic acid for exfoliating the skin. But if your skin is extremely sensitive, these can cause further irritation by stripping it of its natural moisture.
Dry skin types can also be the result of a health condition:
Contact dermatitis is a type of eczema triggered when your skin comes into contact with an allergen. It usually appears as an itchy rash, sometimes followed by dry, cracked and even blistered skin. The reaction usually calms down within a few hours.
Mainly affecting your scalp but can appear elsewhere on the body, seborrheic dermatitis appears when your sebaceous glands produce excess oil. The skin condition causes red, scaly and itchy skin.
The most common type of eczema, atopic dermatitis, is mainly caused by the skin's inability to retain moisture. But flare-ups are common as the dryness makes the skin more sensitive to certain triggers – such as irritants, foods and environmental factors.
Cleanse – Avoid drying ingredients like fragrances and alcohols if your skin is prone to flakiness. Instead, look out for formulas specially designed for dry skin types, they’ll usually have nourishing ingredients like hyaluronic acid, fatty acids and coconut oil. Plus, a cleansing device like the FOREO LUNA 3 Sonic Facial Cleanser and Anti-Ageing Massager is a great way to massage those hydrating ingredients deep into your skin.
Repair and nourish – Go deeper with your skincare with the CurrentBody Skin LED Mask + Hydrogel Mask. The LED light kick-starts your skin’s natural repair process to rejuvenate your complexion from the inside out. Skin looks more even with a dewy glow in as little as 4 weeks.
If you suffer with extremely dry skin, your bathroom cabinet is probably bursting with creams, emollients and serums. But if you’re not exfoliating your skin, you’re just layering your products on top of dead skin cells.
First, remove the barrier to penetration and smooth your skin with an exfoliating device like the Dermaflash Luxe+.

]]>It’s often an ongoing battle to not only treat the acne lesions but the blemishes and scarring that it causes too. But what if we told you that LED light therapy has been proven to treat all three? Well, it can – and we’re about to explain how.
LED light therapy – or light-emitting diode therapy – is a non-invasive skincare treatment that uses coloured wavelengths of light. It travels deep beneath your skin to create a change on a cellular level – triggering the body’s natural repair process to deliver long-lasting results. Popular in salons, there’s now an array of home devices available so you can experience the same results from the comfort of your sofa.
Red light stimulates the body’s natural repair and rejuvenation process – kick-starting collagen production, increasing elasticity and brightening your complexion. Blue light kills acne-causing bacteria to banish breakouts and prevent future flare-ups.
Anti-bacterial properties – Blue light devices destroy the P.acnes – the acne-causing bacteria. It works because the bacteria produces a protein called porphyrins, and when these are exposed to blue light, they break up and kill the acne bacteria.
Regulates oil production – Excess oil can clog your pores, so oily skin types will benefit from using a blue light device, as they slow down the oil glands to control sebum production.
Reduces inflammation – If you’re battling acne pimples, you’ll also be no stranger to the swelling, redness and inflammation that often comes with them too. Blue light can help to tone this down and ease the soreness.
Skin healing – Acne scars are a common side effect of breakouts. And they can be stubborn too. But red light devices help to kick-start the body’s natural repair process, and in turn, help to reduce the appearance of scarring.
Brightens your skin – Because red light therapy devices boost circulation and help deliver key nutrients to your skin’s cells, it creates a more even and visibly glowing complexion.
Always start with a good cleansing routine. Not only will it help to remove any pore-clogging dirt and impurities, but it’ll boost the efficacy of LED light by removing the barrier to penetration. Oily and combination skin types will love the FOREO LUNA 3 for Combination Skin. Then choose your LED device. To target problem areas, we’d opt for the FOREO ESPADA Blue Light Acne Treatment Device. Hold this blue light device over spots to banish them in just 30 seconds.
Supercharge your treatments with a topical treatment – like the Pietro Simone Rescue Recovery & Repair serum – to soothe and heal your skin in between your LED treatments.If you’re looking for a light treatment with blue and red wavelengths, there’s none better than the Dermalux Flex MD. As the world’s most powerful at-home LED device, it combines blue, red and near-infrared light to tackle acne bacteria, inflammation, acne scarring and uneven skin tone in one.
Are there any side effects?
Light therapy is a popular treatment for acne because it’s non-invasive, painless, and no downtime is required. Just make sure that if you’re taking any topical treatments, you speak with your dermatologist first.

]]> In Spring 2022, we asked 15 CurrentBody customers to partake in a sleep study using our Dr. Harris Anti-Wrinkle Sleep Mask. All participants were part of the CurrentBody Community group on Facebook, so are familiar with beauty devices.
All were given the Dr. Harris Anti-Wrinkle Sleep Mask to use for the study, having not used the mask before. Participants were asked to track their sleep for 5 consecutive nights without the sleep mask and then upload screenshots of their sleep patterns from the third-party apps that showed the results from their sleep tracker.
Following that, they would repeat the process, but this time wearing the sleep mask and continuing to track their sleep quality. The study showed a positive impact on sleep patterns, the overall quality of sleep and an improvement in deep sleep. The results from these case studies are detailed below:
“I have noticed an improvement in my overall sleep. On the screenshots of the first week, a lot of those ‘light sleep’ times, I was actually awake at points but still lying in bed until I dozed off again. I’ve noticed it doesn’t always show red if I’m not moving about much, but I might still be awake. The second week, I can hardly recall being awake much, the mask certainly helped me stay more asleep or get back to sleep quickly, and I feel like I had longer periods of deep sleep.
I’ve also noticed a difference in my skin in the morning; I sleep on my side, so I normally have a huge pillow crease on my face in the morning which I didn’t have with the mask on, and my lines looked softer in general when I wake.
The first 2 nights I wore the mask I really noticed the difference. I couldn’t recall any times I was awake and just lying, trying to fall back asleep. When I woke up in the morning, I felt like I had slept straight for hours. That really makes sense what you have mentioned about remembering being awake the following day and feeling more tired, I think that is definitely a factor.
Denise found that sleep quality dropped off in the last two days of her mask week due to other factors (her having a headache and her husband feeling unwell). However she believes that “those nights were still equivalent to my ‘no mask’ nights so that says a lot!”
“The first time I wore the mask, I wore it for 20 mins before bed and had a sleep score of 84, the highest one I have ever had in the 4 years of tracking my sleep.
I also noticed my deep sleep was 1 hour 30 mins, again the highest ever. More importantly, I woke up refreshed for the day ahead.”
When Manjiet started to track her sleep for our study the first night, she had just 38 minutes of deep sleep. Her first night wearing the Dr. Harris mask, just a week later, her deep sleep nearly tripled and was recorded at 1hr and 30 mins.
“I have found it has helped my sleep, I am such a bad sleeper, it takes me ages to get off to sleep and I wake quite often. Now with the mornings being lighter in the summer months, I was also waking earlier and I found that wearing the mask allowed me to sleep for longer, as the light was no longer waking me up, so my sleep felt more refreshed.
At first I wasn’t sure I would get used to having something on my face, but after a couple of nights, I forgot about it being there.”
We can see from her data that she had improved her deep & REM sleep when wearing her Dr. Harris mask.
The image on the left is Sally’s submission of the data without wearing a Dr. Harris mask, you can see her deep sleep stage was just 34 minutes. The image on the right shows a Deep sleep cycle which has almost tripled at 1hr 13mins.
“Biggest take away for me was quality of sleep was definitely heightened and whether that was due to the pressure points or the fact the dots adhered the mask to my face leading to less discomfort I’m not sure HOWEVER with better sleep quality and indications that recovery and performance were both heightened leads me to believe the mask performed brilliantly at raising my quality of sleep and relaxation.”
We could see straight away when we looked at Andy's data that his experience with the Dr. Harris mask had undoubtedly improved his sleep as the night he was wearing it his restful sleep patterns showed marked improvements each day.

]]>The first International Masturbation Day was celebrated back in 1995 in honor of Surgeon General Joycelyn Elders, who was fired for proposing to include masturbation in the sex education curriculum for students.
It first started as a way to celebrate our right to masturbate, and ever since, it has evolved into a month of talking about masturbation benefits and how it can make life better.
When you orgasm, your brain releases a few different hormones that positively affect the way you feel. One of those hormones is serotonin. Serotonin is responsible for boosting your mood and making you feel happy.
Research also shows that having an orgasm leads to an increased concentration of dopamine and oxytocin, both hormones known as love and happiness hormones. Society of Neuroscience has found that women who experience a large increase in oxytocin report being happier and more satisfied with their life.
So, if you're looking for an easy and effective way to boost your mood when you're feeling down, masturbating might be a way to go.
Another masturbation benefit that is important to your health is that it helps reduce stress. When you're having sex and are truly present in the moment, you don't have time to think about your work or kids, or other adult life responsibilities. The same goes for solo play – your mind is too busy enjoying the sensations of pleasure to overthink, which helps relieve stress.
Also, the same hormone oxytocin that's responsible for boosting your mood after an orgasm is also the one that helps your body fight stress. When oxytocin is released, it helps decrease cortisol (stress hormone) levels in your body.
Have trouble falling asleep at the end of a long day? An orgasm before bed can help you solve that issue. Studies have shown that oxytocin also helps to improve sleep. When researchers studied sex and sleep, they found that people who masturbated before bedtime had a better sleep quality.
So, next time, instead of counting sheep in your mind, bring out your favorite sex toy and enjoy one of many masturbation benefits.
Another important hormone our body releases when we orgasm is endorphins. Endorphins help reduce pain, which means that another great masturbation benefit is being a natural painkiller.
Masturbation can also help increase pain tolerance levels in women. One study conducted back in 1985 found that vaginal stimulation can increase a woman's pain threshold up to 40% and above.
Masturbation when on your period can also help you fight uncomfortable period cramps. Combined with all the other feel-good hormones that the brain releases when you orgasm will surely make you feel much better.
Regular masturbation can help you discover and get to know your body better. It also helps you develop a better sense of self and accept and love your body for the way it is. It's one of the most important masturbation benefits.
Masturbation is one of the ways to practice self-care, which promotes self-love and learning to appreciate your body despite any negative feelings or impressions you might have. Also, when you're familiar with your body and learn to love it, you'll feel more confident with other people. And that leads to another advantage:
The orgasm gap still exists, and heterosexual women are the ones that suffer because of it. One way to help close the orgasm gap and enjoy more partnered sex is by masturbation. A study published in 2014 found that 35% of women who frequently climaxed during partnered sex masturbate.
Solo pleasure helps improve partnered sex for many different reasons. First, when you're masturbating, you don't have to worry about the pressure of performance or pleasing your partner, so you can easily focus on yourself and what makes you orgasm.
You can also take your time and explore what turns you on, what feels the best, and what type of stimulation you don't like. Experimenting with toys can open up a new door to even more pleasure, and it can give you ideas on how to incorporate sex toys into partnered play to make it better for both you and your partner.
A common misconception people have about masturbation is that it will ruin your sex life and libido, and you're not going to want sex with your partner. The reality is quite the opposite – regular masturbation can help improve your libido and make you want more sex.
The more sex (partnered or solo) you have, the more your body will want to have it again. The reason why this happens is because our bodies are wired to crave things that feel great (orgasms, binge-watching Gilmore Girls, donuts... the list goes on).
Now that you know all masturbation benefits and how it can make your life better, it's time to talk about ways to enhance your solo sex sessions with the help of our favorite toys.

]]>I was lucky enough to be sent the NuFACE Trinity to trial by Emily from Current Body in October 2015.
I was very excited to try this as I am ageing and have had a few years of stress and uncertainty over my health. The results of this difficult time showed in my face.
Once my item arrived I read through the instructions and charged my item for the required time stated. I ensured I smoothed the conductive gel all over my face as I read if you don't you feel a small tingle. I have sensitive skin and the gel was not an issue at all.
It was so easy and smooth to use I was unsure if I was using it correctly so I looked at the YouTube video CurrentBody had produced for the NuFACE Trinity. I was pleased to see I was using it correctly and that you wouldn't feel a sensation or that the facial muscles would not contract.
I took a few before & after photos and you can see my skin looks firmer. It also feels firmer and my open pores were not so large. When I apply my mineral foundation, I notice that the make up is going on smoother and that I look like I have used a primer, which I have not.
BeforeAfterI also noticed that my eyes looked more toned and refreshed and less hooded.
I use the device twice a day. First thing when I wake up, I put the coffee on to brew and I apply the conductive gel, then I walk around the house using the device. By the time the coffee is ready, I am on my last minute of using the NuFACE. I like to spend longer in the evening using it, so I do get a mirror so I can focus my movements with the device.
So far I am very happy with the progress and will continue to use the NuFACE as I can really see the results. My next step will be to incorporate the Advanced Holds and improve my new routine even more.

Reviews of the Elvie pump are glowing as this piece of smart kit is helping new mums get back more of their day. Here are just a few:
Chelsea from the UK says, “This pump is the business! Game changer...I had a huge baby who takes a lot to fill and because I lost a lot of blood during childbirth, my milk wasn’t quite rich enough for her. I bought this to help increase my supply and express some milk to top her up after each feed and it’s worked a treat! I am now exclusively breastfeeding her and pumping enough to give her a few [top-ups throughout] the day (and give my nips a break!) and for my partner to give her a nice big bottle whilst I take our 16month old up for her bath and bed routine....without this pump I would never have had any time in the day to express and increase my milk supply as I was far too busy with my toddler as well as my newborn!”
Craig from the UK says, “Easy to use, my partner loves it. Expensive but well worth the money. Get it as early as possible so you can really get your money's worth.”
Safiyyah from the USA says, “I am [so] thankful for this device that words can’t express my feelings enough. Want on the pumping? Sure... Easy to use? You got it. Quiet, painless, and overall competitive... You will not regret it. Highly recommend [it]!”

The Clarisonic Acne Brush Head is a clever tool to treat blackheads, clogged pores, blemishes and breakouts. It has densely-packed bristles to softly clean away sebum, dead skin, oil and dirt from your pores. This helps to reduce breakouts, minimise pores and redness and keep bacteria from moving to other areas of your face. The brush head is extra soft and gentle on the skin, so it won’t pop pimples and spread any nasties. And the built-in smart time strip lets you know when to replace it so you get the perfect clean every day.
When to replace: Change your brush head when the smart colour strip fades out significantly or around 3 months.
Compatible with: All Clarisonic devices

This removes more dirt, oil, sebum, impurities and the like. We recommend these heads especially if you have sensitive skin.

Just swap out for a new head after 3 months for a clean that never strips your skin barrier.
