Project E Beauty LumaLux Face Pro LED Mask review
Ask anyone how work, life or anything is going, and you'll likely get the same response: busy. We are so swamped RN, so finding skincare that works just as hard as we do has become everyone's priority.
While indulging in a pampering session will never go out of fashion, day-to-day skincare is all about simple solutions that deliver results without taking up too much time – which is where Project E Beauty's LumaLux Face Mask comes in.
Unlike most LED masks that take around 10-15 minutes to work, this speedy gizmo only takes three minutes to treat a whole host of skincare concerns. In fact, according to peer-reviewed studies, red light and near-infrared light reduces wrinkles by 75% and improves skin texture and smoothness by 79%.
We've given you a sneak peek but what exactly does the LumaLux Face Mask do? Many of the best LED face masks feature red and infrared light therapy to boost collagen production and plump out fine lines and wrinkles, but the LumaLux takes things a step – or seven – further.
It features seven light colours (red, blue, green, purple, cyan, white and yellow), five wavelengths and eight light combination modes to treat all kinds of skin concerns in one go. There really is nothing this mask can't help solve, whether you're dealing with post-acne scarring, a dull complexion, noticing a few smile lines or crow's feet creeping in.
If you need a refresher on what different colours of light therapy can do, here's a crash course: Red: Helps to reverse signs of ageing by boosting collagen production, reducing wrinkles and fading pigmentationBlue: Prevents acne and blemishes by regulating oil production and fighting bacteriaGreen: Helps to brighten, fade pigmentation and smooth skin tonePurple: Used to even out skin tone, fade scarring and pigmentationCyan: Soothe irritation and boost skin healingWhite: Helps to speed up skin healing and rejuvenationYellow: Smoothing and softening the skin
The LumaLux mask features an impressive 800 LED lights, which the brand claims is 400% more lights compared to most face masks on the market. This ensures that every inch of your face is touched by light so that you see consistent and precise results. Then, each bulb contains four LEDs, divided into 200 red LEDs, 200 green LEDs and 200 blue LEDs, which can be combined together to create multiple colours of light therapy modes.
However, what really sets this mask apart from the rest is the 180 infrared LED lights and 20 deep-infrared LEDs. Infrared light technology is commonly used in LED therapy as it's able to penetrate into the dermis (around 5mm) to boost collagen and circulation as well as promote skin healing.
Not only does the LumaLux feature infrared, but it also features deep-infrared – the next gen of LED therapy. Deep-infrared LEDs are able to penetrate beyond the dermis layer (around 10mm into the skin) to support more intense collagen production and skin regeneration. This helps to keep the skin plump and firm, and ward off fine lines in the future.
If you're usually overwhelmed by a 10-step skincare routine, the LumaLux face mask is as easy as putting it on, selecting your mode and waiting three minutes for the magic to happen.
It does require a few hours of charging before you can begin your first treatment but, once it's done, it has enough power to last you a few weeks.
To activate, plug the mask into the controller and fit the mask around your face. Because it's made from soft silicone (and only weighs 307g), it's super lightweight and comfortable to wear – nor does it drop down your face if you're walking around wearing it. It also has thick, silicone lined velcro pads that wrap around your head so you won't get your hair trapped in the straps.
To turn on the mask, simply press and hold the 'on' button, which will automatically activate the first colour, and then keep clicking the bottom button to switch through the other colour modes. Once your three minutes are up, the mask will switch off.
£299 isn't the kind of money you'd just throw into skincare without thinking about it. Like most LED masks, this high-tech gadget is a premium beauty tool – but one worth buying if you're serious about seeing improvements in your complexion.
Say you use it every day for the next four weeks (the time it takes to notice visible results), that breaks down to £9.90 per use. And, when you consider how much money you'd be saving on in-salon appointments, I mean it's just girl maths by this point.
Think of it as an investment that is going to save you time and, in today's world, we know how limited time can be. Of course, you can continue with your regular treatments when using the LumaLux – cleanser, serums and moisturisers included – but this speedy three minute treatment can be used every single day no matter what your skin is doing or what you want to target, and with very minimal effort involved.
The results are genuinely salon-standard too, and will transform your skin in ways you'd have to fork out major £££ at a professional clinic. The clinical studies prove it, or just check out these incredible before-and-after pictures and user reviews.
One user said, 'My face looked firmer, brighter and more youthful overall,' while another said, 'By week three my acne had disappeared and by week four my skin texture got better.'
