Muddy Stilettos


<p>If you clocked our <a href="https://bucksoxon.muddystilettos.co.uk/spotlight/spring-skincare-treatment-trends/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">spring skincare trends</a>, you’ll know LED light therapy is quietly having a moment. Yes, in-clinic treatments are the gold standard, but a good at-home mask (used a saintly three to four times a week) can still boost collagen, calm inflammation and take the edge off your frazzled brain. Red light, in particular, has been linked to better sleep thanks to its melatonin-boosting powers, and frankly, 10 minutes under one feels like a mini holiday – minus the airport chaos and eye-watering airfare.</p>



<p>Skin-wise, there’s something for everyone: tackling acne, softening fine lines, even giving thinning hair a nudge in the right direction. But not all masks are created equal, and this is very much a “buy right, buy once” situation. Cleanse first so the light can actually do its thing, then sit back and glow. Yes, it’s an investment – but so is your face, and you have to wear that every day.</p>

This rigid, slightly sci-fi number delivers four modes: red and near-infrared to boost collagen, blue to tackle acne and inflammation, plus a cryotherapy under-eye setting to depuff tired eyes. The cooling mode is a godsend for hangovers or hayfever, with three levels of chill.</p><p>Results-wise, Blemish Repair is the hero – proven to reduce breakouts in four weeks with just eight minutes a day (doable, even for the time-poor). ‘Better Ageing’ clocks in at six minutes. It’s easy to use, quick to charge (if a bit frequent), and while it looks a touch <em>Daft Punk</em>, it’s surprisingly lightweight. High-tech skincare, no drama.</p><p>£299.99</p><p><a href="https://www.johnlewis.com/shark-cryoglow-fw312uk-under-eye-cooling-led-anti-ageing-blemish-repair-mask/blue-frost/p112565794" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">BUY NOW</a></p></div></div></div></div>

CurrentBody’s OG mask was a trailblazer, and this upgraded version fits better, covers more skin and delivers more precise, hard-working wavelengths.</p><p>You’re getting red, near infrared and deep near infrared light here, meaning it tackles ageing both on the surface and deeper down. Use it for 10 minutes, three to four times a week, and clinical studies show visible wrinkle reduction in just a few months. No blue light, so not one for breakout-prone skin, but if you want something comfy, low-effort and reliably plumping, it’s a winner. Bonus: eye inserts mean you can scroll or binge without the glow blinding you.</p><p>£399.99</p><p><a href="https://www.currentbody.com/products/currentbody-skin-led-light-therapy-mask" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">BUY NOW</a></p></div></div></div></div>

The appeal? Versatility. You’ve got red, blue and a combo mode to tackle everything from breakouts and redness to collagen and elastin loss – basically, a full-face reset in one go.</p><p>It’s also brilliantly quick: just three minutes per session, and fully wireless so you can get on with life (though it is a bit heavier, so consider that your cue to sit down). Ideal for combination skin that can’t make up its mind, it’s a pricey but proven all-rounder – and one the derms genuinely rate, which says it all</p><p>£465</p><p><a href="https://www.cultbeauty.co.uk/p/dr-dennis-gross-drx-spectralite-faceware-pro/11984107/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">BUY NOW</a></p></div></div></div></div>

With 100 LED bulbs and four settings – red, blue, purple (a mix of the two) and yellow – it’s a solid all-rounder. Yellow light is the wildcard: studies suggest it can speed up healing, boost circulation and improve hydration (hello, perkier skin).</p><p>You won’t get near-infrared here, so it’s less heavy-duty on collagen, but consistent use still delivers results. Sessions are 10 minutes for a single setting or 15 minutes for the full works. It’s flexible, wireless and easy to wear – just note there’s no built-in timer, so you’ll need to keep one eye on the clock.</p><p>£119</p><p><a href="https://tidd.ly/4cD0lTy" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">BUY NOW</a></p></div></div></div></div>

This soft silicone version is designed for exactly that, delivering reparative light where it’s needed most. Flip it to blue light mode, and it’ll tackle bacne too, handy for summer or pre-backless-dress panic.</p><p>There are eight wavelengths here (including near-infrared and green for pigmentation), with easy pre-set routines – though they’re app-controlled, which won’t suit the impatient. The silicone is wipe-clean (always a win), and the gold chain?
