Through a series of continuous flashes, IPL technology produces broad beams of various light wavelengths. These beams are specifically designed to be absorbed by the melanin (pigment molecule) present in hair follicles. Once absorbed, the heat progressively weakens and destroys the hair follicle, resulting in lasting hair reduction.
When comparing IPL hair removal with laser hair removal, the key difference is accessibility. Board-Certified Dermatologist and Fellow of the American Academy of Dermatology, Dr. Alpana Mohta,. M.D explains, “laser requires a bulkier machine and is widely performed by trained professionals in-clinic. Whereas IPL uses a flash lamp mounted on a portable hand-held device, which is available for both clinic-based and home use.”
No. IPL hair removal is typically pain free because it uses low-intensity light, with at home devices now equipped with advanced cooling air systems and UV sensors to minimise any discomfort.
As grey and white hair does not contain enough melanin, IPL treatments do not work on these hair colours. Additionally, red hair contains a different type of melanin, which is also not responsive to IPL treatments.
Very dark skin tones with high melanin content cannot use IPL as it may cause skin damage. Find out if your skin tone and hair colour is compatible for IPL technology here.
6 weeks before, avoid plucking, waxing or bleaching to preserve the hair root and pigment. 4 to 6 weeks before, refrain from using sunbeds and apply sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) to prevent sunburn.
1 week before, remove any fake tan, while consistently exfoliating and moisturising throughout the week. 24 hours before, shave the treatment area. Right before your session, make sure your skin is clean, dry and free from product.
]]>LED (light-emitting diodes) light therapy comes in a range of colours for different wavelengths. Blue light is made up of the shortest waves and carries the most energy. Everyone knows about the blue light that comes from their screens that can keep you awake at night, however, in specific, concentrated doses blue LED light can do wonders for your skin.
Light therapy started out as NASA technology. Now it's used across a range of visible light spectrums to offer unique skin and pain relief benefits. Blue light facials use a specific wavelength (415nm) to eliminate acne-causing bacteria on the skin’s surface. Blue LED light therapy benefits also include reducing the skin's natural oil production (sebum), helping to manage shine, blackheads and clogged pores—ideal for anyone with mild to moderate acne.
Yes. In this clinical study, participants saw less acne, blackheads, whiteheads, inflammation and skin irritation following treatment. And they felt comfortable administering the treatment by themselves too. They reported no pain and the study concluded essentially that blue LED lights are effective against mild to moderate acne and skin concerns.
It’s most effective against mild to moderate acne. Professional-grade devices like the CurrentBody Skin Anti-Blemish LED Face Mask are also effective for a larger range of concerns including fine lines and wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, redness, psoriasis and muscle or joint pain. That’s because it combines blue LED lights with red and near-infrared lights to maximise the light therapy benefits.
Absolutely. There are a wide range of LED masks, wands and devices available to home consumers. You should consider what type of light is best for treating your skin concerns:
Based on the benefits of each wavelength, you can choose the device best suited to your skin concerns.
The best blue LED light therapy device for treating mild to moderate acne on the face is our CurrentBody Skin Anti-Blemish LED Face Mask. It combines blue (415nm) light with anti-inflammatory red (633nm) light to effectively reduce redness, swelling and acne-causing bacteria. Together, these wavelengths are 36% more effective at treating acne than blue light alone.
For the odd breakout, the CurrentBody Skin Anti-Blemish LED Pen provides quick spot reduction. Although it uses the same light therapy technology as the Anti-Blemish LED Face Mask, the pen is a smaller, more compact device. It’s perfect for reducing a breakout in 3 minutes, without drying out the skin or disrupting the skin barrier (or your schedule).
If you're looking to specifically target the face, CurrentBody Skin LED Light Therapy Face Mask gives you the perfect combination of red and near-infrared LED lights to target fine lines, wrinkles and skin texture in a comfortable, flexible mask that hugs the face.
]]>What’s the difference between IPL vs laser hair removal? With the average woman spending around $45,000 on hair removal in her lifetime, it’s high-time we got some answers about the best hair removal treatment for you.
Laser hair removal generates a single beam of a powerful, concentrated light wavelength to absorb melanin within the hair follicle. Over multiple treatment sessions, this laser energy generates heat—which progressively weakens and permanently disables the hair follicle, resulting in long-term hair reduction.
Just like laser hair removal, IPL also targets melanin to destroy hair follicles. However, unlike laser treatments that use a single wavelength, IPL utilises multiple light wavelengths to emit diffused energy, ensuring minimal to zero skin damage.
These wavelengths are delivered in continuous, consecutive pulses—resembling the effect of a camera flash. This is the technology that can be most commonly found in home use hair removal devices use for achieving long-term hair removal. While effective, IPL does not give the same lasting results that laser provides.
Both IPL and laser hair removal offer various benefits for women, helping to control peach fuzz, maintain smooth skin and hormonal hair growth. For men, these technologies offer solutions to reducing ingrown hairs from shaving.
Laser is effective for black or dark brown hair, along with a broader range of skin tones with contrasting hair colours. IPL works best for light to medium skin types with dark hair, as well as targeting light brown hair. Neither method is suitable for blonde, grey, red or white hair.
Although laser devices and IPL technology both use light energy, laser hair removal machines are proven to be more powerful. Laser is also the clinic choice for professional hair removal. IPL produces a broader spectrum beam of diffused light energy, making it less effective at targeting each hair follicle with power and precision.
No, IPL hair removal is typically less painful than professional laser treatments in-clinic because it uses lower-intensity light. However, both technologies feel the same when used in a portable, home use device engineered with advanced cooling air systems and UV sensors to minimise discomfort.
We recommend to prioritise eye protection by wearing the goggles often provided. Many at home devices use skin safety sensors, such as the AMIRO A2 IPL Hair Removal Device. Built-in sensors optimise the amount of light waves for your skin tone, while sophisticated Bi-Layer 360° technology reduces skin surface temperature to a comfortable 10/15°C for a pain free experience.
While both laser and IPL may lead to temporary side effects like minor redness and minimal swelling, IPL and laser hair removal are suitable for sensitive skin types.
Research says it takes 4 to 6 sessions over 12 to 16 weeks to see significant results with IPL hair removal, although some devices can achieve similar results within just 4 sittings. One such device is the E-One Clinic Permanent Hair Removal, which uses a wide optic cartridge to deliver 3,000 light flashes over a larger surface area. And instead of weekly IPL sessions, you only need to use the E-One every 6 to 8 weeks to see hair free results.
Laser hair removal works even faster, showing results in 3 to 4 sessions. The CurrentBody Skin Laser Hair Removal Device is the only FDA-cleared permanent at home laser hair removal device on the market, proven to reduce hair count by 80% in just 4 weeks. One independent study found that 93% of users were left with no hair root residue after using this laser hair removal device 2 to 3 times per week for 4 weeks.
Results from intensive twice-monthly sessions for 12 weeks typically last for 6 to 8 months, with the opportunity to extend to 1.5 years with repeated touch-ups every 3 months. Hair growth variations can influence the longevity of these results. For example, hormone-driven hair regrowth over the lip, chin, underarms, chest, back and bikini line may need more touch-ups than the hairline, arms, legs, hands and feet.
While both technologies have their advantages, laser hair removal is faster, more precise and can cater to darker skin tones while delivering permanent hair reduction. IPL and laser technology are also both available for safe, self-administered home use on the face, arms, legs, bikini line, chest and hands.
In-clinic laser sessions can cost anywhere between $950 to $3000, whereas the CurrentBody Skin Laser Hair Removal Device offers an affordable one-time purchase. IPL hair removal provides similar results to laser, and can be found in a wider range of home use devices.
]]>We caught up with Bromell after the 2024 Golden Globes, and asked for his best-kept secrets on how to prepare skin for makeup from his 20+ years of industry experience—here’s what we found out.
What are your non-negotiables when it comes to skin prep for makeup?
"I think the key is not to try anything too invasive, especially if you’re prepping for a big event. I always refer my clients to visit my friend and colleague, Debbie Thomas, at her London clinic for a Hydrafacial and some light collagen laser for the ultimate skin glow. It’s a great quick fix for achieving a red carpet glow, and it creates a lovely base to work on. Of course, drinking lots of water and getting enough sleep is recommended—but this should be a habit most people adopt, big event or not."
"Skin hydration is really important. When makeup is applied to dry areas, it can look really cakey and overdone. This is where I’ll use hyaluronic acids, niacinamide and ceramides to help address this. Actually, CurrentBody Skin has some great Hydrogel Masks that give a quick boost of hydration and a nice plumping effect."
What’s the best skin prep before makeup to get that flawless base seen on so many of your clients, such as Cillian Murphy?
"Yeah, I think prepping the skin before makeup is critical for looking your dewiest self, especially in men’s grooming as the skin tends to look a little drier and oiler than with women. I normally begin with a cooling cleanser and gentle exfoliating toner, something that has PHAs, BHAs or AHAs to brighten up the skin. Then I’ll add a Hydrogel Mask with the CurrentBody LED mask on top for about 10 minutes."
"That gives the skin a much healthier glow. I actually have a selection of male clients that love the extra glow the LED mask gives them, so I use it every time. And for the final step of skin prep, I use vitamin C and liquid peptides for optimal hydration and smoothness."
How long have you been using LED on your clients?
"I was actually first introduced to LED therapy 15 years ago by my facialist—it was just amazing to see the results. So when the first home use LED masks appeared, I just introduced them into my skin prep for all of my clients and they’ve become a staple in my kit ever since."
Are there any other home use beauty gadgets in your kit?
"I use the LED Eye Perfector, depending on who I’m working with, for a more hyper-targeted approach. It only takes 3 minutes to refresh the eye area which is a bonus. But another great one is the ZIIP HALO for quickly sculpting the face. You can really see a difference straight away, and also Margot Robbie is a fan, so who wouldn’t trust that?! I’m also a big fan of lasers. IPL is amazing for sun damage, dark spots and broken veins on the skin, as well as radio frequency for skin tightening."
Gareth Bromell has taken what was once a clinic-only beauty technology and brought it backstage to the red carpet, recreating the same glow from his LED facial 15 years ago. Ready to achieve the Hollywood glow? Meet Bromell's go-to LED mask, the CurrentBody Skin LED Light Therapy Face Mask—it's the must-have staple in his beauty kit!
Science backed and clinically proven to stimulate collagen, this mask's patented Pillow Technology™ gives the maximum amount of LED (light-emitting diode) light therapy coverage for the best possible results. When these wavelengths are in contact with the skin, they immediately activate specific cells to renew and regenerate—resulting in immediately fresher, smoother and younger looking skin.
Users have seen improvements in skin tone, texture and firmness, not to mention feeling a boost in confidence after use. Independent clinical studies have also shown that this mask is 31% more effective than any other mask currently on the market; one of the main reasons why it's a must-have for celebrity groomers and makeup artists like Gareth Bromell.
]]>But, should you find your inspiration lacking, we've found the best beauty gadgets, beauty stocking fillers and Christmas beauty ideas from the likes of ZIIP, CurrentBody Skin and BeautyBio. We’ve even taken into consideration the latest facial trends of 2023, with advice from celebrity skin experts, facialists and plastic surgeons. Take a look.
What is the facial trend in 2023?
Among the most popular 2023 facial trends is jawline contouring, reaching its peak popularity in early January with many celebrities—Chrissy Teigen, Lea Michelle and Bella Hadid amongst them—turning to buccal fat removal for permanent facial sculpting. It’s a procedure that removes the buccal fat in the cheeks to accentuate the cheekbones and create a slimmer face. And it’s not a treatment to be taken lightly.
Many skin experts, plastic surgeons and aesthetic doctors agree that consumers should be cautious about trending cosmetic procedures, as they might not be suitable for everyone. “I don’t think it should be removed on its own, especially in young people,” says reconstructive and plastic surgeon, Naveen Cavale. “If you remove a lot of fat from the face when someone is young, you have no idea how they will age, especially as fat depletes with age anyway.”
At home electrical beauty devices are a popular alternative to these permanent, in-clinic jawline contouring treatments as they’re quick, easy to use and risk free. Microcurrent facial devices, such as the MyoLift™ Mini Microcurrent Facial Device and ZIIP HALO, are even used by celebrities like Jennifer Aniston and ‘Barbie’ superstar, Margot Robbie to achieve their youthful, yet contoured complexions.
For something a little more luxurious, the ZIIP HALO Complete Gift Set features the world’s most powerful facial toning device and the complete range of ZIIP Conductive Gels—each with their own unique skincare benefits for anti-ageing, barrier repair and hydration. Enhance skin radiance, restore elasticity and lift your facial features in minutes with the ZIIP HALO gift set.
Light therapy has also progressively become a trending topic. According to Google Trends, the search volume for 'light therapy' has grown by +66% and 'anti-ageing products' has increased by +81% globally from September 2023. This shows that consumers are not only interested in looking younger, but also searching for a more holistic approach to anti-ageing.
Specifically, red light therapy is proven to be one of the best ways to naturally stimulate collagen, boost skin elasticity and accelerate cellular healing. And although this technology has been used professionally for years by experts in-clinic, high quality LED light therapy face masks are now readily available for home use.
New for Christmas 2023, the CurrentBody Skin Limited Edition LED Beauty Gift Set includes an exclusive festive edition of the award-winning LED Face Mask in metallic silver. Paired with the LED enhancing and glow inducing Green Tea Serum (30ml) trusted by dermatologists for reducing hyperpigmentation, and house in a metallic silver travel bag.
Celebrity facialist Fabricio Ormonde, says that combining technologies in a single facial treatment can actually lend itself to even more dramatic results. “I currently combine radio frequency with microcurrent and LED light therapy to address skin tightening, muscle tone and collagen stimulation in a single treatment.” The good news? This multi-tool approach isn’t just for clinicians and facialists.
For anyone that wants to bring the salon experience home, you can achieve the same anti-ageing results using portable, home use beauty devices. Ideal for topping up your treatment between facial appointments, or simply elevating your beauty routine and skipping the salon altogether.
Emulate Ormonde’s A-list-only facials at home with the CurrentBody Skin Complete Anti-Ageing Facial Kit, which combines the most effective light therapy, microcurrent and radio frequency facial devices in a single gift set—exclusive only for Christmas 2023.
Speaking of at-home facials, the BeautyBio Pro Hydration Facial Gift Set has everything you’ll need to achieve a buttery smooth, hydrated glow from home. The Hydro-Infusion Pore Cleansing Tool exfoliates dead cells and eliminates blackheads—mimicking the results of a professional hydrofacial in-clinic. This Christmas exclusive comes with 2 gentle salicylic acid concentrates (20ml), along with the brand's new collagen peptide concentrate (50ml) for even more youthful results.
If clogged pores aren't a problem, then you might consider the BeautyBio Showstopping Skincare Heroes Gift Set as the perfect present for anyone wanting to brighten dark circles, calm redness and reduce puffiness. This showstopping set features the award-winning microneedling tool, The Eyelighter Brightening Serum & Depuffing Tool (15ml), along with The ZenBubble Calming Gel Cream (50ml) that improves skin hydration by 65% after a single application.

95% of users also saw an improvement in skin tone, texture and firmness after using the wearable, hands free mask for 10 minutes, 5 days a week. One customer said of the mask: “I wasn’t expecting much of a result but was hopeful. Within a short amount of time my skin texture improved, pores were smaller and my lines all round have definitely decreased. A bonus is I find it a relaxing 10 minutes just for me!”
Don’t have 10 minutes? No problem. Target the areas you want to refresh the most in 3 minutes with the CurrentBody Skin LED Eye Perfector and CurrentBody Skin LED Lip Perfector. Loved by celebrity makeup artist’s to get their clients ready for the red carpet, these devices are great for quickly depuffing eyes and plumping lip volume.
Nick Barose, makeup artist to Lauren Ridloff, considers the Eye Perfector as the perfect first step before makeup: “Concealer glides on like a dream, with a flawless finish.” Designed to stimulate collagen and elastin, this eye brightening gadget uses 4 clinically proven wavelengths to diminish dark circles, eye bags, crow’s feet, brow furrows and fine lines. Other fans of this 3-minute wearable device include ‘Emily in Paris’ star Lucas Bravo and beauty expert Wayne Goss.
Highly commended as the Best Skincare Device in the Marie Claire Skin Awards 2022, the Lip Perfector is unrivalled for creating plumper, smoother and softer lips. Although named the ‘most popular needle-free lip filler alternative’ by COSMOPOLITAN, it’s also proven to dramatically reduce any bruising and swelling after injections or filler.
Now that you know your skin will be glowing and makeup-ready, the ZIIP HALO can give your facial features an instant lift.

One customer said of her experience: "I really love this device. It works, it’s easy to use, no chance of cutting yourself...and skin feels incredibly soft afterwards. You could get the same result with an eyebrow razor, or a dermaplane blade (tried that. It was a bloodbath for me), but this is a simple, thorough, and safe way to do it. I’ve found that even those thick and dark hairs don’t grow as quickly (no idea why that is. Any tool is just cutting the hair off at the surface of the skin. This tool has some wizardry)."

Best Clitoral Vibrators
Whether you want something with intense vibrations, rumbling licking or sucking features, you'll be able to find the best clitoral vibrators for clitoral stimulation.
SONA™ 2 Cruise is perhaps the most pleasurable clitoral vibrator on the market right now. Loved by thousands of online reviewers, the next-gen SenSonic waves and unique Cruise Control technology deliver waves of lapping massages for intense clitoral pleasure.
It reserves 20% of its power during normal use so that when you press it hard against your body, the motor unleashes extra power to ensure there's no reduction in intensity. This eliminates the single most common complaint against pleasure products, helping you to reach your climax every time.
The super soft, ergonomic design can be used for bath and shower play; ideal for anyone new to sex toys or experienced users. No wonder the LELO SONA™ 2 Cruise was the GOLD Winner at A’Design Awards 2022.
Another of LELO's best selling clitoral vibrators is the LELO SILA™ Clitoral Stimulator. Discrete, luxurious and available in aqua and lilac pastel hues, it builds a slower pulse-pounding orgasm compared to the instant-climax action of the SONA™ 2 Cruise.

Delivered through tiny bursts of sound waves instead of physical vibrations, LELO SILA™ gently thrums to mimic the sensations of oral sex. And don’t worry, it’s essentially silent. Great for dry and wet fun, use with a water-based lube or in the shower and bath for a couples warm up or solo pleasure.
Loved by reviewers for the small ‘tongue’ feature which vibrates and strokes against your clitoris, mimicking the feeling of oral sex. LELO's ORA™ 3 is the closest sensation you'll get to someone going down on you.
Boasting PreMotion™ Technology for 25% faster, real-feeling oral stimulation, it feels best when covered in water-based lube. Simply press this vibrator a little harder against your body to feel the same intensity of vibrations that the SILA™ and SONA™ 2 Cruise deliver.

As the world’s first app-connected microcurrent and nanocurrent beauty device, the ZIIP HALO has patented and pioneered the ways in which technology becomes incorporated into at-home devices. Through sophisticated programming and powerful electrical currents, it’s the foundation of your elevated beauty routine that meets (almost) every one of your skincare needs.
The ZIIP vision is to go beyond the boundaries of skincare, and with their newest beauty innovation, the ZIIP HALO does just that. It's the world's only home-use clinic-grade beauty device on the market to give both immediate and lasting results. Here's our guide as exclusive ZIIP HALO retailers on how to use it.
Meet the ZIIP HALO
The ZIIP HALO is powered by ZIIP's unique Dual Waveform Technology to give both immediate and long-lasting effects through varying frequencies of nanocurrent and microcurrent waves.
Nanocurrent is the reason why ZIIP results are so long-lasting. You can’t feel these tiny waveforms as they work on a cellular level, encouraging skin rejuvenation and repair. Although the nanocurrent starts working from the very first treatment, you’ll achieve the HALO EFFECT after 6 weeks of consistent use.
The HALO EFFECT
The HALO EFFECT is what you can expect to see after 6 weeks of consistently using your ZIIP HALO. Dual Waveform Technology works on both a cellular and muscular level to encourage lasting skin rejuvenation, lifted facial features and a smoother, more even skin tone. Your skin will be glowing.
Designed by electrical esthetician and founder of ZIIP, Melanie Simon. Each facial treatment uses Dual Waveform Technology to deliver elevated results using varying nanocurrent and microcurrent waves.
ZIIP facial treatments
The ZIIP HALO comes pre-programmed with ‘THE LIFT’ facial treatment, offering 4 minutes worth of free-form lift from the moment it touches your skin. Although you do have the option of connecting to the ZIIP Beauty App for the entire range of targeted treatments, full facials and preset plans to achieve your desired results. Use 3 to 5 times per week and pair with a ZIIP conductivity gel for enhanced microcurrent and nanocurrent performance.
Transform your skin the way you want with completely unlimited treatments whenever and wherever you want. Here are some of the ZIIP treatments on offer to personalise your skincare regime.
Energize: 12 minutes of medium intensity for firmer, smoother and more glowing skin. It’s the all-encompassing O.G. favourite. Expect a lit-from-within glow right away with a refreshed vibrancy that only ZIIP can deliver. Recommended 3 times per week.
Founder’s Favorite: 10 minutes of light intensity so you won’t feel a thing. 100% nanocurrent, this gentle treatment syncs with your body’s natural current to soothe and calm inflammation. Ideal for sensitive skin types to achieve suspiciously good skin. Recommended 3 times per week.
Instant Gratification: 6 minutes of high intensity for an immediate lift. Deep waveforms stimulate facial muscles to lift, contour and open up the face. Loved by celebrity makeup artists to instantly prep skin for the red carpet. Recommended before an event to enhance your bone structure.
Eyes: 3 minutes medium intensity targeted treatment for brighter eyes. Better than a good night’s sleep, it decreases puffiness, fine lines and dark circles. Recommended 3 times per week to awaken and refresh eyes.
Problem Solver: 4 minutes of high intensity. Negatively-charged energy eliminates positively-charged bacteria to prevent and reduce breakouts while evening out skin tone. Use to spot treat or cover the entire face as needed. Do not exceed more than 1 use per 24-hour period.
The ZIIP Beauty App contains additional treatments with varying frequencies and intensities, depending on your skin goals. Download here.
]]>Microcurrent facials are big business right now. In fact, they've become an integral part of beauty routines for beauty editors, aestheticians and A-list celebrities alike—transforming complexions worldwide. Whether you’re looking to tone and tighten your complexion, stop the signs of ageing or blast fine lines and wrinkles, microcurrent technology boasts a whole host of skincare benefits.
Here, we reveal 5 reasons as to why we love it, as well as a celebrity-approved handheld device that means you can take full advantage of the A-list beauty treatment.
1. You can do it at home
Whilst many celebrities enjoy microcurrent facials in salons, there are devices available that allow you to achieve the same results–no appointment required. The ZIIP HALO stands out as the world's only home-use microcurrent and nanocurrent device, offering clinic-grade facials from anywhere.
Created by Jennifer Aniston's facialist and renowned electrical esthetician to the stars, Melanie Simon, the ZIIP HALO brings her 20 years of expertise directly to your fingertips. With a unique blend of both microcurrent and nanocurrent, this Dual Waveform Technology communicates with skin cells and facial muscles to achieve a toned, lifted and glowing complexion in minutes.
Its innovative design features 2 globes that gently send the electrical waves through the skin, energising cells to produce collagen while contracting the facial muscles. It's this technology that delivers both instant and lasting results.
2. It’s completely safe and non-invasive
The phrase ‘no-pain, no gain’ is completely untrue when it comes to the magic of microcurrent. Often referred to as a ‘non-surgical facelift’, microcurrent is a completely safe and pain-free way of sculpting and contouring your complexion. There's also no downtime afterwards meaning you can carry on with your day.
3. It really works
The ZIIP HALO has a number of skin-boosting benefits. It works by giving off low-level current that is similar to the body’s natural current (this is why you can’t feel it). Like a workout for your skin, the ZIIP HALO uses microcurrent to stimulate the muscles in your face, toning and tightening them, while nanocurrent accelerates collagen production. This results in a lifted, youthful and glowing appearance.
Other benefits include improved facial contours, more even skin tone, reduced wrinkles and fine lines, and a brighter complexion. As quoted by Vanessa from the reputable skincare blog, Goals To Get Glowing, "if you’re looking for skin toning and firming, the ZIIP (HALO) could be an excellent choice."
4. It’s loved by A-listers
ZIIP’s most famous fans—Kim Kardashian, Elizabeth Olsen, Jennifer Aniston and ‘Barbie’ Margot Robbie, all raved about the results. Even Huda Kattan, founder of Huda Beauty, shared it on her blog. ZIIP has also repeatedly received accolades from world renowned magazines ELLE, Allure, VOGUE and Cosmopolitan throughout the years.
"I've been using this nanocurrent and microcurrent device called ZIIP which has given me noticeable results. I'm not paid by the brand or anything, it's really, really good." — Margot Robbie
5. It’s fast and effective
It isn't known as the '4-minute lift’ for nothing. Put simply, you can complete an entire facial with the ZIIP HALO in just 4 minutes. This makes it a quick and simple addition to your skincare routine, no matter how busy you are.
]]>Microcurrent facials, often referred to as the 'non-invasive facelift’ by aestheticians and beauty editors, use tiny electrical waves to gently contract the facial muscles. This makes the muscles grow stronger, resulting in an instantly more lifted, toned and sculpted appearance.
Celebrities such as Jennifer Aniston, Margot Robbie and Bella Hadid are all advocates for microcurrent facials in helping maintain their smooth and contoured complexions. While this technology is highly praised within the industry, you might be asking, ‘but what is a microcurrent facial?’ Here are 5 things you need to know before introducing microcurrent into your routine.
Can microcurrent facials be achieved at home?
Microcurrent devices like the NuFACE TRINITY+ are designed to be simple, effective and user-friendly for home use. They deliver low-level electrical current with a compact, super efficient hand-held device that’s easy to travel with; ideal for holidays, weekends away and event-prep.
At what age should I start using microcurrent?
Microcurrent facials are for preventing and reversing the visible signs of ageing, which places them well for all age groups. Starting in your 20’s means that you’re seeing the tightening, toning and sculpting results sooner, enhancing the anti-ageing effect as you get into your 30’s. A device like the FOREO BEAR is incredibly easy to use and is a great microcurrent device to start using in your 20’s because of its simple, yet powerful functionality.
Can microcurrent be used alongside botox?
Yes. However, we always advise you to consult your doctor for specific post-treatment recommendations. Generally speaking, if you’ve had a botox or dermal filler session, I would advise you wait 2 weeks post-treatment to have any microcurrent facial.
Is microcurrent painful?
Microcurrent facials are completely painless. In fact, they can even be relaxing! The ZIIP HALO is especially gentle as it uses a blend of low-level nanocurrent and microcurrent to stimulate the facial muscles. This device is also the only at-home device that uses nanocurrent—tiny waves that stimulate collagen production below the skin’s surface.
How expensive is microcurrent?
At-home microcurrent devices are generally inexpensive and a good value for money, especially when you can use them frequently in the comfort of your own home. It’s an empowering experience to achieve salon-level facials within minutes, and the prices are fair for the kind of results you get.
Is microcurrent safe?
Before starting your at-home microcurrent facials, there are a few instances where microcurrent devices would not be suitable. These include pregnancy, active skin conditions such as acne, along with heart conditions or implantable devices. Always check with your healthcare provider before purchasing if you’re unsure.

Biohacking is the newest wellness trend for 2023. It’s a form of brain and body training to allow more efficient function. Sleep improvement is a big part of biohacking and with good reason. A 2022 study revealed that across the UK, only 47% sleep for 7.5 to 8.5 hours. Almost half (48%) sleep for a meagre 4 to 6 hours, with the standard being 6.4 hours. Collectively, this means the majority of Brits are chronically sleep deprived, and are in serious need of a better sleep.
For those new to the concept, don’t be overwhelmed. Biohacking simply refers to lifestyle changes backed by science. Fortunately, as a global Sleep Expert with over 9 years of academic study, I have the best practices to biohack your sleep. What you do before bed is the greatest predictor of how well you will sleep. In fact, it starts as early as 12pm.
Interested? I hope so. Your best night's sleep is just around the corner with this actionable bedtime countdown.
8 hours before bed: Cut off caffeine
While we may think our afternoon coffee doesn’t affect our sleep, chances are it will. A 2013 study found that having a coffee 6 hours before bed reduced sleep time by over 1 hour. This is exactly why so many of us struggle to switch off, feel anxious and restless around bedtime. Caffeine stimulates your body, suppressing your need to sleep. For best results, kick caffeine well before the cut off time of 3 or 4pm.
4 hours before bed: Eat your last meal
For those who wake throughout the night, this one is critical. A 2006 study found that those eating within 3 hours of bedtime are 43% more likely to wake up during the night. As digestion is a highly active process, if we eat too close to bedtime, it forces our bodies to stay on high alert. Eating earlier allows our bodies to fully digest before diving into rest.
2.5 hours before bed: Diffuse lavender
Lavender is a potent anti-anxiety compound, perfect for those who find themselves mentally struggling to switch off come bedtime. As noted in a 2013 academic paper, lavender helps to release melatonin for a calmer, more relaxed bedtime.
2 hours before bed: Block out blue light
When we’re exposed to blue light from phones and other electronics, our melatonin is suppressed – leaving us feeling wide awake. When we’re exposed to blue light from our smartphones and TVs, it makes it that much harder for us to fall asleep. In a 2018 clinical trial, blocking out blue light for at least 2 hours before bed improved symptoms of insomnia by 20%.
90 minutes before bed: Take a bath or shower
Anxiety keeping you awake? If so, add having a bath to your pre-bed ritual. A 2018 study by ONSEN Medical Science Research Center, Japan, found that anxiety scores were significantly lower for those who took a bath before bed. Evidence also indicates that showers can improve sleep quality too. If you don’t have a tub, then a shower is still a very worthwhile addition to your bedtime routine.
45 minutes before bed: Drink chamomile tea
You may have thought it was just a myth, but a 2011 academic paper indicated chamomile can induce sleepiness and enhance sleep quality. It naturally relaxes the nervous system, helping us to feel more relaxed. If you have a sensitive bladder or tend to use the bathroom a lot, it may be wise to do this step at dinner time.
30 minutes before bed: Meditate
Meditation can be tricky, especially when our brains are often buzzing with thoughts. This can be made easier with the light-blocking Sleep Mask from Dr. Harris. A clinical trial found 67% of users were more relaxed when wearing it. The raised silicone dots on the inner side of the mask stimulate the skin to cue relaxation. A 2012 study found long-term meditators spend 3 times longer in deep sleep, compared to non-meditators. Sleep deeper with the Dr. Harris Sleep Mask.
15 minutes before bed: Practice deep breathing
Deep breathing is a great tool to improve sleep quality. A 2018 study found this technique can promote melatonin production, helping you fall and stay asleep. Pairing this with the Dr. Harris Anti-Wrinkle Sleep Mask means double-action relaxation to send you straight into a deep, restful sleep.
At bedtime: Tuck in for the best sleep of your life
Possibly the most important step is consistent light-blocking throughout the night. A 2011 study highlighted that leaving a dim interior light on overnight can reduce melatonin production by 50%! This increases the likelihood of a restless sleep. Fortunately, you can avoid this with the Dr. Harris Anti-Wrinkle Sleep Mask. You’ll be happy all night long with this luxurious and comfortable Mulberry silk blend.

What does hair loss in men and women look like?
Whether caused by genetics, nutritional deficiencies, hormonal imbalances, stress or autoimmune responses, hair loss can be distressing for both men and women. Male hormones, especially dihydrotestosterone (DHT), affect the hair follicles by shortening the hair growth cycle which can lead to premature shedding. It also causes the hair follicles to shrink, pushing them further away from the blood supply and limiting essential nutrients.
Male pattern baldness is a hereditary condition that comes from a combination of genetic factors and the action of male hormones on the hair follicles. Signs of male pattern baldness include a receding hairline, thinning hair at the top area of the scalp, and bald spots. By age 35, over 50% of men show signs of male-pattern baldness, and this number increases to 85% by age 50.
Female pattern hair loss can occur in women due to similar genetic and hormonal factors. However, they do not typically experience complete baldness thanks to higher estrogen levels that help preserve hair follicles. Instead, they may notice a widening parting or overall thinning on the top area of the scalp. Approximately 40% of women will experience female pattern hair loss by age 50.
How does LED and laser light therapy work for hair regrowth?
Both technologies use the power of light coverage to stimulate cells, resulting in improved blood flow and scalp circulation while encouraging the delivery of essential nutrients directly to hair follicles. The wavelengths play an important role in hair growth and the development of strong, healthy hair follicle cells. Although these light therapy technologies are similar, there are notable distinctions.
Laser therapy uses a single wavelength to focus a narrow beam of light directly to the scalp, treating a small area. Comparatively, LED light therapy uses one or more wavelengths to treat larger surface areas of the scalp with a broader band of light. This means that LED light therapy has more coverage, activating a higher number of hair follicles per cm² compared to laser hair regrowth treatments.
What is the best technology for hair regrowth?
LED therapy provides a comfortable, non-invasive treatment free from side effects, offering a safe and convenient solution to address hair loss. LLLT (low-level light therapy) is clinically proven to increase hair density in patients with pattern hair loss over a 16-week timeframe using a wearable, helmet-type device. Now accessible for home use to sustain your 10-minute hands-free sessions, without interrupting your daily routine. The CurrentBody Skin LED Hair Regrowth Device has been shown to increase hair count per cm² by +26.3% after just 16 weeks.
Simple and convenient, the FDA-cleared CurrentBody Skin LED Hair Regrowth Device offers revolutionary red light technology to reverse the effects of slow progressive pattern hair loss. Consisting of 120 red LED light diodes and 2 head circumference options, this wearable technology ensures optimal full scalp coverage. Quick 10-minute daily sessions provide ample nutrients and oxygen to the scalp, leading to thicker hair, increased density and a prolonged growth phase.
With a clinically proven wavelength (640nm) at 18 j/cm² power, this device is 3 times stronger than the average laser strength. This provides different penetration depths and cellular enhancements, offering the most effective technology for hair loss at home in both men and women.
See the difference that just 16 weeks of 10-minute daily sessions of the CurrentBody Skin LED Hair Regrowth Device can do for your hair regrowth journey.
]]>When it comes to permanent hair removal solutions, the most popular options are laser and IPL (intense pulsed light) treatments. While laser hair removal is exclusive only to salons at a high price point per session, at-home IPL devices have fast become a one-off lifetime beauty investment for those wanting comfortable, easy hair removal. SmoothSkin are world-leaders for providing powerful at-home IPL devices for quick, easy and effective sessions.

Who can use SmoothSkin IPL devices?
As grey and white hair does not contain enough melanin, IPL treatments do not work on these hair colours. Additionally, red hair contains a different type of melanin, which is also not responsive to IPL treatments. Very dark skin tones with high melanin content cannot use IPL as it may cause skin damage.

]]>If celebrities like Kate Bosworth and Charlize Theron credit radio frequency facials for keeping their skin lifted, then you know they must be good. RF (radio frequency) facials are clinically proven to soften fine lines and wrinkles, while tightening sagging skin. At this point you may be asking, ‘but what is a radio frequency treatment?’ Here we’ll explain how radio frequency works, what results you can expect, along with an up-to-date look at world-leading devices.
What is radio frequency skin tightening technology?
Radio frequency is all about stimulating your skin’s natural collagen and elastin production. During the skin tightening treatment, radio frequency waves pass through the skin from one pole to another. When the skin resists these waves, it heaps up, stimulating collagen. As there is an optimal collagen-producing temperature and because everyone’s skin resistance can vary, maintaining this temperature can be a challenge. This is where some at-home RF devices stand out against the rest.
There are 3 radio frequency methods available: monopolar, bipolar and multipolar. Each method is distinguished by the number of poles it uses. Monopolar uses a single electrode tip, which delivers energy to the space between the electrode and the grounding plate. Whereas the bipolar method passes waves between 2 electrodes and multipolar using 3. According to a recent clinical study, bipolar was more effective at increasing skin tightness, hydration levels, density and barrier function in women aged between 20 to 69 years, regardless of therapy duration when compared to monopolar.
Is there any discomfort or downtime involved?
You do feel a comfortable warming sensation (almost like a hot stone face massage), and you may experience some mild redness after your treatment. Both are completely normal. While there isn’t any downtime, it’s recommended to complete your RF facials during your night-time routine to benefit from additional collagen renewal as you sleep.
Expert Advice: Do not use radio frequency devices if you have had a professional chemical peel, facial abrasion, ablative laser treatments, botox, fillers or plastic surgery within the past 3 months.
What are the benefits of radio frequency at home?
The main benefits of radio frequency skin tightening facials are to reduce the visible signs of ageing. After the first treatment, skin becomes plumper, firmer and smoother. And with consistent use, you’ll notice a reduction of fine lines and wrinkles, along with more lifted and tighter skin. For anyone experiencing loss of firmness and dullness in their skin, it's the ideal long-term solution to restore your glow.

If you're wondering if it's possible to regrow hair naturally, then the short answer is – yes! Hair regrowth can be achieved in many different ways. What works for you depends on why you lost your hair and how much hair you've lost. We'll explore the main natural hair regrowth approaches and how they work.
Hair can thin or fall out for a number of reasons, such as if you're wearing hairstyles that are pulled too tight. The NHS explains, "Some types of hair loss are permanent, like male and female pattern baldness. This type of hair loss usually runs in the family." Other types of hair loss may be temporary. They can be caused by stress, weight loss, iron deficiency or medical treatments.
If you’re suffering from pattern balding, receding hairlines, hair thinning or hair loss, then there’s a few different ways to reverse it. The best natural treatments are LED (light-emitting diode) light therapy, laser, micro-needling, supplements and growth supplements. We’ll explore each option in detail, along with sharing the most popular products for hair regrowth.
Used to fast-track hair regrowth and follicle rejuvenation, these light wavelengths slow down the entire hair loss process. Instead, they activate the growing process to reverse pattern balding, receding hairlines and hair thinning.
Harnessing the power of LED light to fast-track hair regrowth and rejuvenation, this wearable device offers full-spectrum growth activation. It specifically targets pattern balding, hair thinning and hairline receding in both men and women – especially those with androgenetic alopecia. Simply wear for 10 minutes per day, and you’ll be seeing visible results in just 16 weeks.
Not only does this treatment result in fuller and thicker-looking hair, but it also ensures long-term hair protection through increased scalp health. Strengthen your hair and prevent future hair loss without interrupting your daily schedule – simply connect via Bluetooth to continue listening to your playlist or podcast while enjoying your treatment. Hello thicker, fuller hair! The before and afters speak for themselves.
Laser hair regrowth uses targeted laser light via a cap, hat or wand to deliver stimulation directly to the follicles. This can result in thicker, fuller and healthier hair you can see after a few weeks of regular daily use. Some popular laser hair regrowth devices are:
This hair regrowth cap has 2.5x more lasers than their base model for even better results from more than double the laser energy. Treatments are easy to do as the hat is auto-programmed, and there are no negative side effects and no pain from laser hair regrowth sessions. Unlike many other laser solutions, this discreet silicone treatment cap fits under most hats, so you can suit your own style. Within 3 months after completing daily 6-minute treatments with this laser hair regrowth hat, you'll see results.
This hat is designed to combat androgenetic alopecia, sometimes known as male-pattern baldness, by promoting hair growth at the front and crown of the head. With each treatment, it leaves hair feeling thicker and fuller. As with all laser hair regrowth, the hat provides a safe and non-invasive solution for easy to wear treatments you can do in the privacy of your own home. You'll notice visible results in just 4 months with daily use for 20 to 25 minutes.
Microneedling stimulates hair follicles' dermal papilla (stem cells), encouraging growth. The needles make tiny wounds and the skin's natural defences step in to heal and grow new hair. One popular microneedling tool also includes a hair growth serum as well.
Combine a growth serum with microneedling for a treatment that will improve the appearance of hair density by 50%. With regular use 1 to 2 times per week, this system will fortify your hair, refresh your scalp and encourage thicker and fuller hair growth. Once you've rolled your scalp, apply the serum with FolliGRO™️ complex to stimulate your follicles. Microneedling is pain-free and proven to reverse hair damage effects and hair thinning.
Supplements can provide the nutrition your body needs to grow healthy hair. Sometimes we don't eat the most varied diet, which can leave us lacking in vital nutrients for our hair, skin and nails to be their best. Supplements can ensure you're always getting 100% of the recommended daily intake of these core vitamins and minerals.
The Rolls Royce of supplements, these little capsules contain 9 ingredients to improve your sleep, reduce anxiety, add focus and give you better skin, hair and nails. Powerhouses backed by science, take 2 tablets a day to boost immunity, fight stress and enhance performance all while enhancing the look of your hair. Store them in the provided luxe copper container to keep them potent.
Growth serums contain a mix of active ingredients to help reduce hair loss and breakage. They may do this by preventing an itchy scalp and flakiness, which can lead to loss through scratching and clogged hair follicles. Or they may work to enhance the strength of your hair, helping you keep more of it. Lastly, they may work to help scalp circulation, bringing more hair growth nutrients to the surface.
This little vial increases hair volume and reduces breakages and fallout, leading to more hair loss. Plus, it prevents your hair from getting greasy in between washes, so you minimise damage caused by vigorous and frequent hair washing.
It's easy to apply with the dose-controlled precision tip, and the formula helps to prevent itching and flakes. Use with or without a microneedling session for a weightless formula that quickly absorbs into the scalp for weightless hair growth support.

Delivered through LED diode bulbs straight to your skin, see what the power of Red light therapy can do for you.
LED light therapy, explained
NASA were the first to use this technology to assist plant growth, while the Navy SEALs used it for accelerating wound healing in those with musculoskeletal injuries. It wasn't long before this regenerative light therapy was adopted by medical and aesthetic professionals.
“A good way to think of it,” explains aesthetic surgeon, Dr. Glyn Estebanez, “Is like plants absorbing sunlight to power photosynthesis and boost tissue growth. Human cells can absorb light wavelengths to stimulate the production of collagen and elastin.” Reported by the Evening Standard.
What is Red LED light therapy good for?
LED light therapy uses varying wavelengths to activate the skin’s natural cell rejuvenation and repair process. Red and Near-Infrared wavelengths are used for accelerated, non-invasive anti-ageing due to their collagen and elastin stimulating properties.
Red light therapy wavelengths are ideal for fading fine lines, wrinkles and inflammation. It’s also extremely effective for tackling acne, rosacea and sun damage.
Near-Infrared light is the deepest absorbed wavelength. It’s used to reverse the signs of ageing by improving skin elasticity, reducing inflammation, redness and wound healing.
Combined, these wavelengths deliver immediate and lasting results for fresher, calmer and healthier skin. They also target other skin conditions and cosmetic concerns, such as rosacea, eczema and psoriasis. Suitable for both face and body, this professional medical-grade technology has the ability to truly transform your skin.
The benefits of Red LED light therapy are more than just skin deep. It’s been proven to support the production of vitamin D, with users finding that regular treatments reduce stress while improving energy levels.
LED Red light therapy for anti-ageing
"Red light and Near-Infrared light wavelengths really help to reduce inflammation and create collagen," explains aesthetics clinician, Dr. Ayah. Collagen helps the skin look younger, plumper and more evenly textured – which some studies have shown naturally decreases from our mid twenties onwards. This is where the term ‘prejuvenation’ comes in.
Discussed in The Evening Standard – “Prejuvenation is a preventative protocol that combines a good skincare regime with non-surgical treatments to help promote collagen production and support the skin barrier,” says cosmetic surgeon and founder of 111 Harley Street Cosmetic Clinic, Dr. Yannis Alexandrides. When it comes to anti-ageing, prevention is also key for award-winning aesthetician, Dr. Ahmed El Muntasar who argues, “Prevention is always better than a cure.”
But for those of us that want to feel refreshed and rejuvenated at any age, it’s never too late.
LED face mask before and after
As quoted by the Evening Standard – "Beauty tech is CurrentBody’s bread and butter.” That could be why our original flexible LED Light Therapy Mask has been loved by A-lister’s, celebrity makeup artists and customers around the globe. Featuring Red (633nm) and Near-Infrared (830nm) wavelengths to support professional anti-ageing from home.
“I’ve treated multiple patients with at-home devices and they’ve worked significantly,” Dr. Ayah explains. “What we find is that at-home devices are fantastic at supporting what we do in-clinic, and they really do enhance the results.”
Complete the range with our targeted LED devices for rejuvenating (or ‘prejuvenating) neck and décollatage, eyes, lips and hands. Each powerfully equipped to deliver the optimal amount of LED light therapy to meet every anti-ageing concern.
We sat down with Dr. Ayah to talk about the anti-ageing benefits of LED Red light therapy, and the best ways to layer your LED devices.

Introducing Dr. Ayah, an aesthetics doctor and owner of Harmony Medical based in both Halifax and London’s Harley Street. As someone who's had a history dealing with severe eczema and acne, she understands the effect it can have on your confidence.
In clinic, Dr. Ayah treats everything from acne and rosacea to melasma and hyperpigmentation using powerful, medical-grade devices. But that’s not all. “I’ve treated multiple patients with at-home devices and they’ve worked significantly,” she explains. “What we find is that at-home devices are fantastic at supporting what we do in-clinic, and they really do enhance the results.”
LED (light-emitting diode) red light therapy has been clinically proven to reduce inflammation, improve skin firmness and tone while increasing collagen. Collagen is the protein that makes up the architecture of our skin – making it firmer, smoother and younger-looking.
"When my patients come into my clinic, 90% of them already treat themselves at home with LED red light therapy devices and effective skincare. Which means they don’t need to see me a lot,” she laughs. “I’m just there as a bootcamp or an enhancing top up!”
"Red light and Near-Infrared light wavelengths really help to reduce inflammation and create collagen." If you’re struggling with acne, using an LED red light therapy mask can actually reduce the redness or pigmentation by simply calming the inflammation.
We know that the less inflammation there is, the faster acne and other blemishes heal with minimal to no scarring. Integrate Red and Near-Infrared LED light therapy consistently into your skincare routine for lasting, optimised skin health and resilience.
Treat your LED red light therapy mask like a sheet or clay mask – use over clean, dry skin. Dr. Ayah recommends layering with a performance-enhancing hydrating serum to maximise the LED benefits, like the CurrentBody Skin Green Tea Serum. Once your treatment time is up, then you can continue with the rest of your skincare regimen.
Layering LED red light therapy devices allows you to target certain areas more intensely, similar to a gym workout. If you want to train specific muscles, then you focus on those during your session – the same goes for LED. “Layering allows you to create a custom LED package tailored to your concerns, rather than those of the masses.”
While she agrees you can use a full LED face mask to get an overall improvement, her personal favourite 'Avenger mask' is the CurrentBody Skin LED Eye Perfector. “The reason I like this product so much is because it works really nicely for me and the results are significant.”
As for her second favourite at-home LED red light therapy device, the CurrentBody Skin LED Light Therapy Mask features heavily in her in-clinic treatments. “I’ve used it in my clinic with a lot of my patients, particularly those struggling with inflammatory problems such as mild cases of eczema, dermatitis and an impaired skin barrier.” She mentions, “Continual use of this mask really just improves the quality of the skin, as well as healthy skin barrier function.”
If one of your primary skin concerns includes reducing or preventing fine lines and wrinkles around the mouth, try the CurrentBody Skin LED Lip Perfector. Target and treat with the collagen-boosting combination of Amber, Red, Deep Red and Near-Infrared LED wavelengths.

Rosacea pictures will show this flushing pattern and that’s what sufferers are always looking to treat. But there are many clinical trials showing LED light helps rosacea. So, we’ll explore that treatment option in today’s 5-minute read.
The Mayo Clinic explains, “The cause of rosacea is unknown, but it could be due to an overactive immune system, heredity, environmental factors or a combination of these. Rosacea is not caused by poor hygiene, and it's not contagious.
Flare-ups might be triggered by: Hot drinks and spicy foods.” It can be soothed with chemical and natural treatments. Before now, most of these treatments were only available in a clinic or salon. But advancements in at-home LED (light-emitting diode) light therapy have provided a new treatment option for rosacea sufferers that they can do in privacy and comfort.
The best long term treatments for rosacea include electrocautery, dermabrasion, laser light medical or salon treatments, medication and red light therapy. The American Academy of Dermatology Association explains the results you can get with lights and lasers, “When used to treat visible blood vessels, most patients see a 50% to 75% reduction in visible blood vessels after 1 to 3 treatments.
Some people see a 100% reduction.” And these effects last for years. When using an at-home red light therapy device, you generally only need to treat your skin for 10-20 minutes, 3-4 times per week. This treatment can control and reduce your rosacea symptoms in under an hour a week.
As one of the best treatments for acne & rosacea skin -red light therapy- is getting a lot of press. The red light therapy cost has greatly reduced due to home devices like the CurrentBody Skin LED Light Therapy Mask. It’s powerful and reliable. 95% of users said their skin tone, texture, firmness and tightness were improved.
And the patented flexible silicone ensures the light penetrates every area of your face. This can help reduce the size of those broken blood vessels and reduce the redness on your face for less-noticeable rosacea symptoms.
If you have smaller rosacea patches, a handheld red light therapy device like the CurrentBody Skin LED Precision might work better. It would allow you to direct the treatment precisely where you need it, and it costs less than £100. It's a great option for effective and affordable rosacea treatments you can do at home.
It can also be difficult to find the right skincare products & treatments that don't aggravate your skin. To help, we've pulled together a simple 3-step night-time skin routine that is clinically proven to reduce these symptoms and redness when used with LED light therapy.

]]>Aside from medical conditions, dry skin can also be caused by:
Cold or dry weather – In the winter, extreme temperatures can cause dry, flaky skin. Look to switch up your daily routine during these months by applying hydrating skincare products – like a rich night cream or moisturising cleanser.
Harsh soaps or ingredients – If your skin is prone to dryness, steer clear of drying ingredients like fragrances and alcohols.
Chemical peels and exfoliators - We love ingredients such as glycolic acid and salicylic acid for exfoliating the skin. But if your skin is extremely sensitive, these can cause further irritation by stripping it of its natural moisture.
Dry skin types can also be the result of a health condition:
Contact dermatitis is a type of eczema triggered when your skin comes into contact with an allergen. It usually appears as an itchy rash, sometimes followed by dry, cracked and even blistered skin. The reaction usually calms down within a few hours.
Mainly affecting your scalp but can appear elsewhere on the body, seborrheic dermatitis appears when your sebaceous glands produce excess oil. The skin condition causes red, scaly and itchy skin.
The most common type of eczema, atopic dermatitis, is mainly caused by the skin's inability to retain moisture. But flare-ups are common as the dryness makes the skin more sensitive to certain triggers – such as irritants, foods and environmental factors.
Cleanse – Avoid drying ingredients like fragrances and alcohols if your skin is prone to flakiness. Instead, look out for formulas specially designed for dry skin types, they’ll usually have nourishing ingredients like hyaluronic acid, fatty acids and coconut oil. Plus, a cleansing device like the FOREO LUNA 3 Sonic Facial Cleanser and Anti-Ageing Massager is a great way to massage those hydrating ingredients deep into your skin.
Repair and nourish – Go deeper with your skincare with the CurrentBody Skin LED Mask + Hydrogel Mask. The LED light kick-starts your skin’s natural repair process to rejuvenate your complexion from the inside out. Skin looks more even with a dewy glow in as little as 4 weeks.
If you suffer with extremely dry skin, your bathroom cabinet is probably bursting with creams, emollients and serums. But if you’re not exfoliating your skin, you’re just layering your products on top of dead skin cells.
First, remove the barrier to penetration and smooth your skin with an exfoliating device like the Dermaflash Luxe+. The micro-fine razor edge gently removes dry flaky skin and dead cells to reveal a smooth, glowing complexion.You can also treat dry skin with a ultra hydrating moisturiser, after your LED treatment. Lancer Skincare The Method: Nourish is goof for normal-combination skin and is enriched with olive oil, hyaluronic acid & avocado oil.

The Dr. Harris Anti-Wrinkle Sleep Mask promotes emotional relaxation that can help you sleep better. The features of this mask make it truly unique as there are raised silicone dots on the inside edge of the mask - these dots stimulate receptors in the skin.
This stimulation has been proven to increase relaxation more than a cotton eye mask in a clinical study, with 67% of participants feeling more relaxed after using the Dr Harris Sleep Mask. Plus, these dots also showed to reduce fine lines around the eye area by helping to relax the face whilst wearing the mask.
Romper was one of the first publications to put the mask to the test. This is what she had to say:
“I’ve personally been wearing it all night, every single night for the past four months, and can attest that it puts me in a deeper sleep; honestly, even my face looks more relaxed when I wake up.
My husband has also been wearing his for about three months and, via his Garmin watch, has been able to clock in hours of deep sleep that he hadn’t seen before — like, five hours of deep sleep versus the two to three hours he got before wearing the mask.”
"No kidding I am so impressed with this mask. I suffer from insomnia so I have tried so many different sleep aids. I bought so many eye masks and nothing worked. But the Dr Harris Wrinkle Eye Mask is the best thing I have invested in for both my sleep, health and keeping my wrinkles away." - Abbs, S. US
"Love it! This was quite an investment for me but I really feel it has got me off to sleep when nothing else would." - Valerie, J. UK
In Spring 2022, we asked 12 CurrentBody customers to participate in a sleep study using our Dr Harris Anti-Wrinkle Sleep Mask. Each participant was asked to track their sleep for five consecutive nights (using their smart watch device) without the sleep mask, then follow the same process whilst sleeping using our Sleep Mask.
67% of all participants saw an increase in the time spent asleep. REM sleep was increased by 8 minutes, which is impressive 10% more as a healthy adult should be getting on average 90 minutes a night.
Denise, one of the participants, found a significant change before and after using the mask. And she reviews the amazing Dr. Harris mask in her own words:
“The mask certainly helped me stay more asleep or get back to sleep quickly and I feel like I had longer periods of deep sleep. The first 2 nights I wore the mask I really noticed the difference, I couldn’t recall any times I was awake and just lying trying to fall back asleep. When I woke up in the morning I felt like I had slept straight for hours.”

Biohacking is a “do-it-yourself” biology usually made up of small and incremental lifestyle changes to boost your health and wellbeing – maybe that’s for your diet, physical performance, mental health or sleep. But it’s not as complicated as it sounds, some biohacking techniques have been around for centuries, such as meditation and intermittent fasting.
Think of it as a sort of trial and error way to see what techniques and foods work best for your mind and body. And with so many technologies for biohacking now available, it’s easier than ever to biohack your way to a better life.
Getting a good night’s sleep is the key to increased focus and performance, better health, a lower risk of chronic diseases, and even more radiant skin. But sleepless nights are common.
It’s thought that half of UK adults don’t get the right amount of sleep, with over 20% getting less than 5 hours a night. And with experts recommending you should get between 7–8 hours a night, there’s a whole host of reasons you should improve your sleep.
Your circadian rhythm – known to most of us as your body clock – regulates everything in your body from your mood, hormones, energy levels, heart rate, blood pressure and even when you feel hungry during the day.
If your rhythm is off, the side effects are not fun, to say the least. You can expect to experience insomnia, fatigue, appetite loss and a dip in your mental and physical wellbeing.
Even as you sleep your immune system is working hard to keep your body performing at its best.
While you’re getting that well-needed shut-eye, your body is removing waste products from your cells and creating proteins to target infection and inflammation. So it’s no wonder that sleep deprivation will have a knock-on effect.
Beauty sleep isn’t just an expression. We’ve all woken up with dark circles and puffiness after a bad night’s sleep, but it’s so much more than that.
As you snooze, your body enters its repair mode, boosting collagen production and blood flow, as well as repairing damage from UV exposure and other environmental aggressors.
It’s probably no surprise that getting the optimum amount of sleep will improve your focus. Improve the quality of your sleep and you’ll wake up feeling refreshed and energised for the day. This boost in energy will enhance your concentration and cognitive function, leading to better physical and mental performance.
Of course, with higher energy levels, you’re bound to do more work. Whether that’s being more productive at the office or actually having the energy to hit the gym before or after work. You’ll no longer need those 10 cups of coffee a day to function!
Getting your 7–8 hours of sleep won’t mean you’ll wake up 10 pounds lighter, but it can stop you from putting on weight. If you don’t get enough sleep, your body produces a hormone called ghrelin which boosts your appetite, while also decreasing the production of leptin which tells your brain that you’re full. That sounds like a bad combination for snacking to us!
These are our top tips for biohacking your way to a better night’s sleep:
Get the light rightLight pollution at night can seriously disrupt your sleep, sending signals to your brain that it should be awake. Using a sleep mask is a clinically proven way to biohack your sleep quality.
The Dr. Harris Anti-Wrinkle Sleep Mask is made from a light-blocking Mulberry silk blend, shielding your eyes from this light to improve your sleep. And it’s clinically proven to increase emotional relaxation by 67%, meaning you’ll fall asleep quicker too.
If you’re someone who likes to top up their caffeine intake at 4pm, you might want to think twice. A study showed that having a cup of coffee 6 hours before bed can shave an hour off your rest.
At least 30 minutes before bed – but ideally 60 minutes – switch off your mobile phone, TV and any other electronics. It’ll stop you from scrolling social media or catching up on emails, and stop blue light from interrupting your sleep too. Instead, do something relaxing like read a book or meditate to calm your mind.
Tidy up to declutter your space and your mind, crack open a window to keep your body temperature cool, and use moisture-wicking fabrics – like silk, cotton or linen to keep you comfortable while you sleep.
Biohacking is all about listening to your body and finding what works for you. The tips we’ve listed above are a great starting point for biohacking your sleep. You may find you don’t need to do them all to improve your sleep, or you may need to do more.
Either way, it’s important not to put too much pressure on yourself at the beginning to get the optimum 7 hours. It definitely won’t help you get that much-needed shut-eye! But even if you only manage an extra 30 minutes in bed to start with, it’s still a step in the right direction to boost your sleep, and in turn, your physical and mental wellbeing.
