Do red-light-therapy masks work for mature skin issues?
Is there any merit in buying those red light devices for your face? How about those that specifically target the under-eye area? Or your neck? I keep seeing them everywhere on social media. I'm in my late 40s and have started noticing crepey texture on my neck and under my eyes. Do you think these would help? They're so expensive, I don't want to buy one and be disappointed. Dear Feeling Frugal, You are right to be skeptical of any beauty innovation pushed on social media, especially those that cost more than a January heating bill. However, as it turns out, red light therapy masks are more promising at treating many annoying mature-skin issues than most so-called miracle products hawked on TikTok. In fact, several recent studies have shown that red LED therapy can rejuvenate older skin by stimulating the production of collagen and elastin, reducing pore size and softening fine lines and wrinkles. LED masks work by emitting colors and wavelengths of light to penetrate the skin at various depths. They're designed to treat a range of conditions including inflammation, swelling and signs of aging like sagging and discoloration. In addition to my research, I have some personal experience with these devices — specifically 10 months of testing last year when, though the results were sometimes subtle, the best LED mask I tried delivered all of the above. It's important to note that there are myriad types of LED therapy, and every dermatologist I've ever interviewed has emphatically emphasized that in-office, physician-administered, higher-powered treatments deliver better results. Also note that any at-home LED therapy mask worth its salt will be expensive, but you don't have to shell out the highest end ($3,000 to $10,000) to reap the devices' rewards. During testing, I found the Omnilux Contour face mask ($395) worked efficiently to soften wrinkles and improve my skin's complexion and laxity. Similarly, for my neck, I like the Light Salon Boost LED collar ($250), which has truly transformed that area of sagging/crepey skin over the past six months. CurrentBody makes a solid device specifically for the area under your eyes, and it has good reviews, though I haven't tested it yet. All this promising news comes with a caveat: LED masks of any sort require consistency in order to perform. Unless you are a person who is able to use these devices every day or at least several times per week, you will reap zero rewards. This is not a one-and-done practice — when I stop using my red light collar for just a few weeks, my neck skin returns to its previous reptilian form. What you're looking at here is a major investment in money and time, but my take is that a quality red light therapy mask is worth the splurge.

We just tested Clinique's ‘nude honey' almost lipstick on three women
Clinique's best-selling black honey almost lipstick generated a lot of hype when it first made the rounds on TikTok in 2021. Four years since the formula became a cult classic, the brand has now dropped a new shade – and it's perfect for summer. For those that don't know, Clinique's almost lipstick collection previously spanned two shades, the original black honey (£24.50, and a lighter pink honey hue (£24.50, As of today, 17 June, the range has officially expanded to include a third product: Clinique's nude honey almost lipstick (£24.50, Our IndyBest testers got their hands on the new formula, so we tried it, wondering whether the rusty-red take on our everyday lip could possibly compare. Scroll on for our opinions from a trio of beauty experts. How we tested With the new shade landing on our desks just hours before its product launch, we pulled together IndyBest's experienced testers to swiftly put the product through its paces. We applied the nude honey lipstick to clean, unlined lips and paid attention to the difference in shade when compared to the original black honey, as well as between our three complexions. We noted how moisturising (or drying), pigmented and easy to apply the lipstick was, and each decided whether it justified its £24.50 price tag. Here's how we got on. Why you can trust IndyBest reviews Lucy Smith is The Independent 's resident beauty writer and has not only covered black honey products previously, but is currently undergoing testing for the best lipsticks of all time. Daisy Lester is the team's senior shopping writer, having written for IndyBest since 2020. She's written about everything from lip oils to lip liners and is well-versed in the best formulas for easy application and long-lasting colour. Lastly, Sabrina Sahota joined our expert testers recently as consumer editor, but she has tested plenty of trending beauty products for other publishers, including the best red lipsticks.

Serenity Nails And Spa Celebrates 10 Years of Tranquility, Transformation, and Tenacity
07/15/2025, Livonia, Michigan // PRODIGY: Feature Story // Serenity Nails and Spa, a Michigan-based spa, announces its 10-year celebration, providing restorative and beautifying services for the ultimate unwinding experience. Built on the ethos of passion and spirituality, the spa provides a tranquil space offering a comprehensive set of services rooted in holistic self-care. Serenity Nails and Spa Founded by Janan Kaoud, Serenity Nails and Spa has stood as a quiet force of healing and beauty in a world where self-care is often neglected. Unlike a polished roadmap or a structured business plan, Serenity Spa was born from something much more personal: a whisper from within, or a divine nudge, as Kaoud describes it. After years of working under someone's roof, helping others build their dreams, Kaoud began to recognize her own light. A light that reflected her desire to build a space of her own, where she could fulfill her purpose. 'Everywhere I turned, there was a door that was closed for me,' Kaoud says. 'I had to open my door myself. I did all the steps I had to do. It was hard, but eventually the shop was built from scratch. The walls, the floors, everything.' From the moment Serenity opened its doors, it reflected Kaoud's belief, which was rooted in the divinity of the human body. This belief pervaded not only her services but also the spa's interiors. The 1,400 square-foot spa was carefully created to offer clients more than just services. With earthy tones, soft lighting, and calming music that soothes the mind, body, and soul, Serenity aims to create a sense of peace that lingers long after appointments end. 'People come here to feel something,' Kaoud says, 'We've created a space that doesn't judge anyone. We're here to serve, to comfort, to care, and to create a moment that feels safe.' Over the years, Serenity has quietly grown into a haven for women and men alike. From specialized nail care to skincare, each treatment is offered with intention. Clients frequently leave glowing, not just because of the facials or manicures, but because their spirits feel more whole. 'So many people come in with low self-esteem,' Kaoud reflects. 'And I've always tried to find the beauty in everybody, no matter how they look. So, to be able to build someone up, help them see themselves in the way I do, even in small ways, is precious.' Fueled by this belief and an unwavering faith in the universe's plan, Kaoud has set her vision for Serenity's next chapter. As the spa steps into its second decade, it's preparing to expand into a full-fledged wellness center, offering medical-grade treatments while preserving the zen-like warmth and tranquil minimalism that sets it apart. 'A lot of med spas feel clinical and cold. White walls, white furniture, sterile energy,' she adds. 'I want to change that and create an inviting atmosphere, one that embodies comfort with quality.' Among the innovations Kaoud is investing in is the T-Shape 2, a non-invasive machine that helps reduce body fat, smooth cellulite, and tighten skin through radiofrequency energy and lymphatic drainage. She's also exploring advanced IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) treatments for acne scars, hyperpigmentation, and broken capillaries, as well as hair reduction technology that is safe and effective for all skin tones. 'I want everyone who walks through our door to feel seen,' she says. 'To know there's something here that was chosen with them in mind, allowing them to have that bespoke experience.' But Kaoud's ambitions go beyond equipment. She dreams of growing her team with people who align with her vision. 'You can't grow alone. I've done so much by myself, and I'm grateful, but now I see that having the right people around is everything.' At the center of Serenity lies Kaoud's sense of spirituality. While her journey so far hasn't been without its fair share of struggles, she credits her fortitude and unfettered tenacity to her faith and to her mother, Sylvia, who believed in her before she could believe in herself. 'My mom always said, 'You can do it.' She pushed me when I needed it the most, and my faith carried me through it,' she adds. Looking ahead, Kaoud envisions multiple locations, each one embedded in the same values of rejuvenation, care, and transformation, crafting more services that cater to the whole body. After a decade of evoking satisfaction, relaxation, and peace within clients, Serenity reaffirms that it's more than a spa. It's a testament to resilience, to divine timing, and most importantly, to the power of the woman who listened to her calling. As Serenity begins its next chapter, one thing remains certain: Kaoud has created something sacred. And for the countless lives her work has touched, that makes all the difference.
