When your skin looks like Hannibal but you’re too tired to put on makeup, red light therapy masks are a no-brainer. The CurrentBody LED Face Mask Series 2 ($470) stands out with its deep near-infrared wavelength, making it a comprehensive skincare tool beyond the usual red and near-infrared mix.

For those who prefer freedom, there's the Solawave LightStim for Wrinkles, a handheld device that’s as versatile as it is portable. Despite being tethered to a cord, its four LED wavelengths make up for the inconvenience with effective treatment times of just three minutes per area.

The Shark CryoGlow offers a more hands-on approach, guiding users through programs like Blemish Repair and Better Aging, complete with cooling under-eye pads that soothe puffiness. It’s like a mini spa in your own home—albeit one that can make your cat feel better too.

Red light therapy might be the new skincare buzzword, but as someone who just wants to see results without needing constant reminders, it’s all about consistency and comfort. Whether you’re masking up or wielding a handheld, sticking with the routine will yield subtle yet noticeable improvements in skin texture and inflammation.
