Omnilux LED Face Mask Sale: Get A Rare $59 Off With Our Exclusive Deal
If you missed the most recent Omnilux sale, here's your second chance to grab one of its coveted LED face masks for less. Now through June 4, you can save 15% on all of Omnilux's devices through our exclusive discount link. Once you click through, the offer will automatically apply at checkout. Everything on the brand's site is eligible, but we especially recommend the Omnilux Contour Face, our beauty editors' pick for the best silicone LED face mask. This is likely the best deal you'll see until Cyber Week rolls around, so be sure to take advantage. There's a special Omilux sale happening for Forbes Vetted readers. Use our exclusive discount link ... More to save 15% on all of the brand's designs. After testing nine LED face masks, our beauty team named the Omnilux Contour Face one of the best options thanks to its lightweight design and easy-to-follow instructions. It features a combination of red light and near-infrared light therapy, which our testers reported gave them more even-toned, radiant skin after months of use. Our supervising deals and coupons editor Kara Cuzzone also gives the mask high marks. 'The Omnilux Contour is the best LED mask I've tried. I like that it's lightweight and flexible, so it's easy to pack and take on the go,' she says. "Plus, each session is only 10 minutes, which is ideal because I can't sit patiently for much longer than that. After I use it, my skin looks noticeably brighter and my redness is less visible." Omnilux The FDA-cleared and dermatologist-recommended device targets fine lines, dark spots, redness and uneven skin texture. And while your results will likely vary based on your individual complexion and skin concerns, the brand says that you should begin to notice changes in your skin within four to six weeks (as long as you commit to at least three 10-minute sessions per week). At $59 off, this deal is just $1 away from the Omnilux LED mask sale we saw during Black Friday 2024. If you're not sold on the Contour Face, this exclusive Omnilux sale also includes popular items like the targeted Eye Brightener, the Contour Glove and the Omnilux Men. Use our Omnilux discount link to ensure that the 15% off markdown applies to your cart. Yes, multiple Forbes Vetted staffers have tested the Omnilux Contour and found it to provide benefits including brightening, evening out skin tone and decreasing redness. As dermatologist Dr. Corey L. Hartman previously told Forbes Vetted, the device is FDA-cleared, and the brand supports its claims with clinically reviewed and published research. The mask features 132 medical-grade LEDs and optimized wavelengths of red and near-infrared light to deliver noticeable changes to the skin. As long as users are consistent with their applications—wearing the mask three to five times per week for 10 minutes at a time—Omnilux says there should be visible results within four to six weeks. After the six-week period, users can move into routine maintenance treatments, though frequency will depend on individual lifestyle choices and long-term skin goals. As stated above, Omnilux advises wearing the LED mask three to five times per week to start. If you have more sensitive skin, you may find starting at three times per week and gradually building up to five works best for you. Since everyone's experience with light therapy can be different, it's a good idea to consult with a dermatologist or esthetician before starting, especially if you're unsure how your skin might react. Yes, the Omnilux LED face mask can help reduce wrinkles caused by aging and sun exposure—though results won't appear overnight. Red light therapy works by targeting collagen production and loss of elasticity to improve skin firmness over time. For the best results, it's vital to maintain consistency in your routine.

Our Deals Experts Found The 23 Best Memorial Day Mattress Sales
Memorial Day weekend is here, and the wait for good mattress deals is over. This year's Memorial Day mattress sales feature some of our sleep editors' favorite beds—including the Helix Midnight Luxe (our pick for the best mattress overall) and the Nectar Premier (our favorite memory foam mattress)—at up to 60% off. If you're in need of a new bed, now through Monday is your best opportunity to save for a while. 'We typically see an additional 5 to 10% discount on most mattress models over holiday weekends. Once this year's Memorial Day promos end, you're not likely to see deals this good again until July 4 or Labor Day,' says supervising deals and coupons editor Kara Cuzzone.

More Deal Information: This discount matches the Memorial Day deal Avocado offered last year. The average mattress doesn't offer the support sleepers over 250 pounds need. The Helix Plus is packed with high-density foam that can support up to 500 pounds per side. We especially like it for back and stomach sleepers for its support. One tester says, "the density of the top material is a slow melt, but if you can get used to this kind of mattress you won't want any other sort, I suspect.'More Deal Information: You can save an extra 2% on this mattress by using our exclusive code, compared to the brand's current sitewide offer. In addition to mattress sales, there are also some great Memorial Day bedding sales happening this weekend. Whether you need new sheets for your new mattress or it's just time for a little bedding refresh, these are the best offers so far. Our sleep and mattress team has over a decade of experience writing about and testing sleep products. Senior mattress and sleep editor Bridget Chapman and mattress and sleep editor McKenzie Dillon are both certified sleep science coaches and oversee the testing and creation of our robust catalogue of mattress shopping guides. Assistant deals editor Jordan Thomas has over five years of experience covering online shopping and deals. She has spent the last three years at Forbes Vetted writing daily deals content, helping plan coverage of major sale events (like Memorial Day weekend) and tracking prices throughout the year to bring readers the best offers. Memorial Day 2025 falls on Monday, May 26. That said, we're already seeing some early Memorial Day offers that will likely run through the holiday weekend. Holiday weekends are a great time to score a discounted mattress, Memorial Day included. Some retailers may wait until the weekend to drop the absolute best prices, but most are already offering great deals. We'll continue updating this list leading up to and throughout the holiday. May is one of the best months to buy a mattress: We track prices year-round and have found that Memorial Day sales offer some of the lowest prices of the year—aside from the week after Thanksgiving. September (during Labor Day weekend) and November (particularly Black Friday) are also good months to buy a mattress. However, if your current setup is causing your sleep to suffering now, you may want to replace your mattress sooner rather than later. In addition to shopping during major holidays, another pro tip for saving on a mattress is to look for discounts on bundles. Some mattress brands offer special prices when you buy a bed frame and mattress together. You can also consider shopping for an older, but still well-rated, mattress. Many brands will discount last year's designs as newer models are released. Historically, holidays like Presidents' Day, Memorial Day, July 4 and Labor Day bring out similar mattress discounts or around 20% to 50% off. However, Black Friday and Cyber Monday usually bring the absolute lowest prices of the year—you'll generally see most popular mattresses marked down by 35% or more.

The 14 Best Walking Pad Deals To Step Up Your WFH Routine
If you're looking to get a few extra steps in during the day, adding a walking pad (a.k.a. under-desk treadmill) to your home or office setup can make a big difference. They're similar to traditional treadmills, but in come in more compact, quiet and budget-friendly designs. To help you find the right fit, we've rounded up walking pad deals that'll help you save up to 67% on top-rated models like the Urevo Walking Pad and WalkingPad P1. Walking pads have become a must-have for folks with packed schedules. 'My walking pad makes it easy to get a bit of movement in—especially on busy work days where I don't have time for a full workout,' says supervising deals and coupons editor Kara Cuzzone. 'I like using it during meetings where I would otherwise just be sitting and listening.' If you're thinking about adding one to your workspace, take a look at the 14 best walking pad deals available right now. This machine comes with a handy remote and LED touch screen, allowing you to adjust settings easily—it reaches speeds up to 7.5 mph and includes a 4 degree incline. It also has a powerful yet quiet motor that lets you exercise without fear of disturbing others, making it a nice option for apartment dwellers. While some walking pads don't incline, this Wellfit model stands out with a 10% incline and 8% decline for working out different muscles. It's relatively lightweight at 40 pounds, yet supports users over 300 pounds. Although it dropped to this price a few weeks ago, it's still a rare bargain at 57% off. If you have a smaller space, a walking pad that stores easily is a must. Weighing in at just over 37 pounds, this Lichico model is relatively lightweight and has two front wheels for portability. At just 4 inches tall, it's slim enough to tuck under the couch or bed. Despite its compact size, it can reach speeds of up to 4 mph, has a sturdy build and is easy to use. However, customer reviews are mixed on whether it's truly 'whisper quiet.' This walking pad from Yrun is down to its lowest price ever at 32% off. Backed by a two-year warranty, the model can be controlled through a compatible smartphone app or a remote control. It can also support users who weigh up to 265 pounds. Choose between the standard design and or one with a gentle incline—both are on sale. This walking pad earned a spot on our list of the best treadmills for walking thanks to its foldable design, making it a great option for small spaces. It doesn't have an incline option, but it does support users up to 220 pounds and has a top speed of 3.75 mph. Right now, you can save $100 on both colors—pink and grey. This sleek design has a modern wood exterior that's more aesthetically pleasing than most walking pads. While both wood shades are on sale, the darker option pictured above currently has the best deal. Overall, it's a pretty standard and well-rated machine: It weighs 55 pounds, reaches just under 4 mph and comes with 12 built-in programs to help get you started. This option from Hartwares weighs just under 37 pounds and has built-in wheels to move it from room to room. It can be controlled with a remote or via an app on your smartphone. It has a weight capacity of 265 pounds, offers walking speeds up to 4 mph and has several incline options. It's currently at its lowest price ever at Amazon. If you'd prefer extra stability, this walking pad comes with a built-in handlebar that folds down for easy storage. It weighs 55 pounds and can hold users who weigh up to 265 pounds. At $300 off, it's one of the best deals we've found right now. This two-in-one walking pad is ideal for heavy steppers—it has eight silicone shock absorbers and two soft rubber pads for cushioning your landing. There's also speed options to toggle between: It tops out at 4 mph in walking mode and goes up to 6.2 mph in running mode. Save $100 on the WalkingPad C2, which boasts 12 speeds that can be controlled by the click of a remote. It can hold up to 220 pounds and reach up to 3.7 mph for speedy walking sessions at home. It was also designed with a quiet motor to keep noise to a minimum. Beyond a remote control to adjust speed settings and small display to track workout metrics, this Sperax walking pad has a vibrating motor that helps burn additional calories. The platform weighs less than 30 pounds, making it easy to move from one room to the next or stow away until your next walking session. A handheld remote, LED display and app connectivity make the HitGo under-desk treadmill easy to use, whether you're getting in steps during a meeting or on your lunch break. And since it's powered by a quiet motor with a max speed of 4 mph, you can even break into a light jog to up the intensity. This 2-in-1 model from Hccsport doubles as a standing desk, featuring a removable, height-adjustable attachment spacious enough for a laptop. It supports both walking and running at varying inclines and speeds, reaching up to 8 mph and a 6% incline. This walking pad has a five-layer non-slip running belt and eight silicone shock absorbers to reduce the impact on your joints. You can adjust and monitor speed, calories burned and distance using the LED display and smart remote. Its sleek design and built-in wheels make it easy to store when not in use. Both walking pads and treadmills have a moving belt that lets you walk or run indoors. However, walking pads are generally more compact and portable with lower speed settings. They also typically lack handrails, making them a better option for light walking rather than intense running or sprinting, as you'd do on a traditional treadmill. Unlike full-size treadmills, walking pads aren't designed to move super fast. Most options max out around 4 mph, so they're best for those looking to get some additional steps in during the day—not train for an upcoming race. Yes—some walking pads function close to a treadmill. For instance, the WalkingPad R1 Pro and WalkingPad R2 can reach speeds of over 6 mph for running. That said, most basic walking pads do not reach speeds high enough for you to run on, and it can be dangerous to do so on a machine that doesn't have handrails. If you're more interested in a dedicated running machine, there are plenty of deals on treadmills right now. The best walking pad will depend on your budget and preferred features, such as desired incline, speed and size. Our gear editors recommend the GoPlus 2-In-1 Treadmill because it's quiet, compact and can go faster than most models. If you're looking for a budget-friendly option, Forbes Vetted staffers also recommend the Urevo SpaceWalk Lite, which is currently on sale. Walking outside or on a walking pad are both great ways to get active. Walking pads help you get low-impact steps in from your home or office, acting as a suitable alternative for moments you can't leave the house. Walking outside has varied environmental terrain which can intensify the workout. The amount of weight a walking pad can support depends on the model, but most can handle between 220 to 250 pounds. That said, some walking pads can support up to 400 pounds, while certain compact models are designed to support less than the average weight range. Be sure to check the product specifications before making your purchase.

'The app is so easy for sharing, and the frames are really nice quality. Love their classic look,' says senior updates editor Karen Tietjen, who has gifted several of these frames in the past. Senior deals editor Kara Cuzzone, who has gifted an Aura to her grandmother, shares, 'She's told me multiple times how much she loves it—the true sign of a great gift. The whole family can add pictures to it via an app, so you can share old memories and new pictures even if you're not together physically. Plus, the picture quality is super crisp.' Amazon Fastest delivery: Two-day A meaningful, well-made necklace is a fail-safe Mother's Day gift, and I love that this simple necklace with 'Mom' in scripted lettering from Kendra Scott is available on Amazon for under $100. It's made with high-quality brass coated with 14k yellow gold, adorned with a sparkly cubic zirconia gem and, best of all, is available for two-day shipping. Amazon Fastest delivery: One-day If Mom has ever wondered where luxury hotels get their plush, premium bathrobes, she'll be pleased when she discovers this present from FluffCo. Known for its hotel-quality bath and bedding products, my favorite is the brand's classic Hotel Lounge Robe (it's one of the three robes I own that I use the most often). The key to its spa-worthy coziness is the fluffy microfiber exterior, soft fleece interior, and special details like side pockets, a shawl collar and elegant gray piping. Amazon Fastest delivery: One-day Sometimes the best lipstick to gift a beauty-obsessed mom is one that's multi-purpose, like this one by renowned beauty brand Estée Lauder.

While it's labeled dishwasher-safe, I recommend that Mom hand-wash when she can to preserve the vibrance of the lettering. coravin Fastest delivery: One-day What if I told you there's a gadget that can extend the lifespan of your opened bottle of wine? Behold, the Coravin Pivot+ System (the 'plus' belies its size, which can fit in the palm of your hand), which protects wine from oxidation for up to four weeks (no more wasting your favorite bottle). Meanwhile, the aerator attachment helps bring out more aromas and flavors, ensuring that Mom gets the perfect pour every time. Amazon Fastest delivery: One-day, overnight (Prime) Let's face it: Bouquets don't last forever. For moms with a barely-there green thumb, we're fond of gifting these beautiful pop-up hydrangeas that function as both a bouquet and a distinctive pop-up greeting card. (Note: There's also a blank notecard included so you can personalize it.) The bouquet is 12 inches tall but ships flat, making it an extra-special moment when she opens the package and watches them 'bloom' in real time. Sprinkles Cupcakes Fastest delivery: By May 9 (May 8 order cut-off) If Mom has an insatiable sweet tooth, don't fret: Sprinkles Cupcakes' limited-edition Mother's Day Bundle means she won't have to choose. This assortment of 12 cupcakes features four of the brand's most scrumptious flavors: Strawberry Shortcake Bar, Vanilla, Red Velvet and Dark Chocolate. What's more, the whole package comes adorned with 'Happy Mother's Day' gift wrapping and is available to ship overnight. The only catch? You'll need to put in your order by May 8. Uncommon Goods Fastest delivery: Instant (via email) If your recipient is also your wife, we recommend Uncommon Good's online classes, particularly the popular cooking ones. They're the perfect gift if her love language is spending quality time together—and this one has the bonus of having delicious food involved. And no, neither of you needs to be a top chef; that's where the expert teachers (from culinary professionals to Vermont syrup farmers to professional coffee roasters) come in. harry & david Fastest delivery: Includes priority overnight (order by May 10) Unsurprisingly, the maker of our favorite gift baskets also tops the list of our highly recommended last-minute food gifts. That's because Harry & David also has a hand-curated monthly box featuring some of its most beloved sweet and savory treats, including its renowned premium pears, Moose Munch milk-chocolate popcorn, and assorted chocolate truffles and cookies. Pre-pay for a subscription of between three and 12 months. Goldbelly Fastest delivery: Subject to local carrier (or instantly via email) Goldbelly is a great source for last-minute gifts because it offers so much variety from food vendors across the country. And some picks, like the Jaques Torres World-Famous Chocolate Chip Cookies, can be rushed with upgraded shipping. With options that include authentic New York bagels, a chef meal experience or a dozen confections from the famous Georgetown Cupcake bakery, you can make sure she'll receive a food gift she'll be guaranteed to love.

If you have a few extra days to spare, you can shop from a wider variety of bouquets, which are shipped fresh overnight. The Sill Fastest delivery: ASAP or date of choice Never underestimate the power of a digital gift, especially if it's one that shows that you're truly aware of Mom's interests. The Sill's digital gift card is one such present: It lets Mom choose the plant(s) she wants herself—so you don't risk her not liking the one you got for her (been there, done that). The Sill has cool potted plants for any skill level and lifestyle, including easy-care and pet-friendly options. Still seeking a physical gift? The Sill offers plant subscriptions, too. Tinggly Fastest delivery: Instant (via email) Tinggly's experience gift boxes allow Mom to take the reins on how exactly she wants to spend her 'me time'—and me time is one of the best gifts you could give moms. Merryl Holland, Forbes group VP of accolades marketing, speaks from experience: 'My husband surprised me with a photography class gift certificate. It was perfect timing after having my daughters [and gave me the chance to] learn how to capture beautiful memories.' Tinggly's Thank You Mom gift box lets the mom in your life choose from 10,000 hand-curated experiences in more than 100 countries around the globe. classpass Fastest delivery: Instant (via email) If your mom is anything like me when it comes to fitness, she probably gets bored doing the same workout routine or yoga flow. That's why I recommend ClassPass, an app that's now among my most used because it gives me access to my favorite barre, yoga and boxing classes in my area. The gift amount you choose gets added toward an app subscription, in which she can choose one of several monthly pricing tiers. Amazon Fastest delivery: Overnight This portable iron, press and steamer (in one) isn't just convenient, multi-purpose and travel-friendly. It also comes in several cute colors like the green above, pink and light blue. Amazon Fastest delivery: Overnight The next best thing to a spa retreat: one that ships right to her doorstep, and quick. This fragrant collection of essentials from L'Occitane includes a shower oil, a skin oil for stretch marks, a nail and hand lotion, and a softening almond milk concentrate—all made with nourishing and paraben- and phthalate-free sweet almond oil that's safe for all skin types. Amazon Fastest delivery: Overnight If she's the type of mom who keeps forgetting about her coffee (hey, distractions happen), she'll appreciate this nifty temperature-controlled mug. She can choose from three settings (warm at 130 degrees, hot at 140 or piping at 150) and keep her brew at the exact temperature she likes. Plus, it comes with a docking coaster and 6-foot cord, and you can choose one of eight matte colors. hydroflask Fastest delivery: One-day Moms on the move need to stay hydrated. As a long-time Hydro Flask fan, I recommend the brand's cupholder-friendly stainless steel travel bottle, which comes in three sizes, features double-wall vacuum insulation and was just released in new, fun colors like Reef (the pink pictured above). The convenient flex straw and sturdy carry handle have also made this bottle my go-to for commutes and sessions at my hot yoga studio. drowsy Fastest delivery: One-day, overnight I've tried a lot of sleep masks, and Drowsy's comfy silk sleep mask is one I've reached for time and again. No exaggeration: It feels like a plush cloud over my eyes. Made from 22-Momme mulberry silk, which creates the perfect balance of softness and quality, this mask is designed to block out light without irritating Mom's skin or tussling her hair—so she can blissfully take the journey to dreamland. Amazon Fastest delivery: One-day For the moms always on their feet, nothing quite says 'I see you' like a pampering gift. These ultra-soft, feather-yarn grip socks offer a little indulgence, and bonus: She won't be able to tell this set of three rings up at under $10.
