When I first heard about a 10-minute “facial” that promised to transform skin from the inside out, I was immediately intrigued—and just a little skeptical.
After all, LED masks have been all over TikTok for years, but could a tiny, at-home device really deliver results? I couldn’t resist putting Skin Krush’s latest innovation to the test, especially with two things in mind: price and pedigree.
Affordable Innovation Meets Skincare Expertise
LED masks have been a celebrity-loved trend for a while, with CurrentBody’s masks famously brightening and tightening skin.
But Skin Krush’s version comes in at nearly 30 percent cheaper, making it far more accessible.
While there are other budget-friendly options starting at around £90, many have poor design, uncomfortable fits, or even unsafe electronics.
The Rejuvenating LED Mask caught my eye not just because of the price, but because of the brains behind it.
Founded in Dublin in 2021 by skincare nurses Sinead Gallagher and Jeanette Dunne, Skin Krush grew from their experience running Ireland’s successful aesthetic clinics.
They saw a gap for safe, effective at-home devices and decided to fill it, starting with a microdermabrasion tool before launching LED masks last November.
The Technology Behind the Mask
The silicone LED masks are designed to contour to your face, feature a built-in timer, and require only 10 minutes of use per session.
The Rejuvenating LED Mask uses red (630nm) and infrared (830nm) light to stimulate collagen, reduce redness, and give skin a youthful glow.
Skin Krush also offers a Clear and Calming Mask combining red and blue light for targeted treatments.
The kit comes complete with the mask, eye shields, adjustable strap, controller, USB charger, storage bag, and instructions.
The recommended schedule is 10 minutes a day, three times a week for six weeks—something I initially questioned given my busy lifestyle.
Committing to Consistency
I took a “before” selfie as a motivator. Despite a solid skincare routine in my 30s, my skin looked tired, particularly around the eyes.
My goal was simple: reduce my reliance on concealer and heavy makeup by the end of six weeks.
Sinead emphasized that consistency was crucial—three to five sessions a week were ideal to see real results.
After charging the controller for three hours, I got started.
Weekends were perfect for a full session, and I managed one or two short treatments after work.
The built-in timer made it easy to relax and let the mask do its job, and I even started pairing sessions with guided meditation.
Seeing Results After Six Weeks
Six weeks flew by, and the results were striking. My skin felt bouncier, my complexion was noticeably clearer, and dark spots around my mouth and cheeks had faded.
Fine lines softened, and my skin tone looked more even than I could remember.
Beyond the aesthetics, I slept better, and the 10-minute pause became a soothing daily ritual.
A Worthwhile Investment
At roughly £100 cheaper than CurrentBody’s popular mask, Skin Krush delivers similar results without compromise.
The device is lightweight, easy to use, and overwhelmingly praised in customer reviews—not just for skincare benefits but also for enhancing mindfulness and relaxation.
Even now, months later, I incorporate the mask once or twice a week into my routine and have happily reduced heavy makeup usage.
The Rejuvenating LED Mask proved that a few minutes of consistent, tech-driven care can truly make a difference.
