As a beauty editor, I’ve been lucky enough to test-drive some of the most exciting skincare innovations out there, from cult moisturisers to sell-out serums. But if I’m being totally honest, when it comes to skincare devices, I’ve often found myself a bit hesitant.
Partly it’s the price tag—do I really need an LED face mask that costs as much as a weekend away? But I’d be remiss to mention that it’s also because I’ve struggled with acne since I was a teenager. I’ve tried countless spot treatments over the years, from high-street blemish patches to prescription creams, with mixed results, and so the idea of spending several hundred pounds on a gadget that may or may not help feels, frankly, risky.
