Beauty fans run to Primark for LED light mask that ‘targets skin concerns’ & is whopping £380 cheaper than the original
BEAUTY fans are legging it to their nearest Primark to pick up an exciting new skincare product.
The bargain retail giant has launched an £18 version of the popular LED light face masks.
The product promises to “target different skin concerns for your daily routine” with red, aqua and blue light settings.
It is also rechargeable and is labelled as suitable for all skin types.
Sharing their find in Primark, one person said: “Led light mask. Don’t run…SPRINT.”
“Thank you for doing the lord’s work.”
A third gushed: “Just purchased.”
Meanwhile, a fourth chimed in: “I need one of these.”
Primark’s electronic skincare buy is a dupe for pricier versions such as the Current Body Skin LED mask priced at £399.
This makes the high street store’s offering a whopping £381 cheaper.
But some beauty fanatics have their reservations abou the bargain buy.
The Current Body version promises it helps with anti-ageing and skin renewal thanks to its powerful wavelengths.
The LED face mask emits red (633nm), near-infrared (830nm) and deep near-infrared (1072nm) light, which are the most clinically recognised LED wavelengths for their anti-ageing effects.
However, the wavelength for Primark’s mask is not listed – leaving some shoppers questioning its effectiveness.
One said: “Might as well throw your money in the bin.”
“Don’t waste your money”, added another.
And a third wrote: “The good ones are £50 upwards.”
If you are considering an LED face mask, a top medical aesthetician has explained the benefits of them.
Kendra, who uses the Current Body version, said: “LED stands for light emitting diodes. Light therapy can be beneficial for many things.
“This can be included as reducing acne, inflammation, which I love. So if you have eczema, psoriasis, it can be really beneficial for that as well. And to boost collagen production.
“[But] it has to have a certain wavelength or it’s just not gonna be really beneficial.”
