If you want skin that truly sings, be prepared for the work. The homework, that is. Here five skin experts reveal the at-home tech that they can’t live without.
The LED mask which really works on spots
Dija Ayodele, Skin specialist and author of Black Skin: The Definitive Skincare Guide
“FaceLite’s LED mask promotes skin healing, especially for those prone to inflammatory breakouts and subsequent hyper-pigmentation that skin of colour is more susceptible to.” FaceLite LED Face Mask, £299 (natural-facelift.com)
The salon-quality face sculptor to use at home
Katharine Mackenzie Paterson, Aesthetician and founder of KMP Skin
“At-home tech is a luxury, but a hit of LED at home can be great for calming skin and returning it to glorious form. I really rate the Déesse Pro Sculpta. It has Radio Frequency, LED and microcurrent in one device. If money is no object I tend to recommend The DERMALUX Flex , which delivers salon results in the comfort of home.” Déesse Pro Sculpta, £499 (deessepro.com) and DERMALUX Flex, £1999 (dermaluxled.com)
A seriously powerful anti-ageing device
Sarah Bradden, Cosmetic Acupuncturist and healer
“I have seen great results using the Lyma Laser both at home and the clinic. The medical-grade, near infra-red 500mW laser delivers a powerful, polarised light, stimulating bio-transformational cellular renewal.” Lyma Laser, £1,999 (lyma.life)
The best way to unclog blocked skin
Sarah Chapman, Celebrity facialist and brand founder
“My steamer’s nano-sized steam particles are rich in negative ions that penetrate skin more effectively than regular steam, helping to loosen blocked pores.” Sarah Chapman Pro Hydro-Mist Steamer, £138 (sarahchapman.co.uk)
Clinical-grade LED mask to use while on your sofa
Dr Sophie Shotter, Aesthetic doctor and founder of Illuminate Skin Clinics
“The Dermalux Flex is one of my faves because it doesn’t need me to use it every day (twice a week is fine), but it delivers clinically effective LED therapy which helps to stimulate collagen production in the skin. Many people can’t find the time for daily, so this is ideal.” DERMALUX Flex, £1999 (dermaluxled.com)
