Wedding season is almost upon us. If your summer features any glorious nuptials (your own or those of a cherished friend / relative / colleague), and you want to make sure you're at your glowing, radiant best for the big day(s), there's still time to invest in some tech to aid you on your beautification journey.
There are plenty of gadgets that promise to deliver the wedding-ready, no-Insta-filter needed skin you always dreamed of. After some careful comment-trawling, I've rounded up a selection of the most positively reviewed options on the market right now.
Most promise similar benefits — reduced lined and imperfections, generally more blemish-free and youthful-looking skin — but employ different technologies to get there. LED face masks like the Shark Cryoglow and Nanoleaf LED mask bathe your skin in a particularly rejuvenating wavelength of light, while microcurrent devices like the NuFace Trinity+ take a more dramatic approach, sending low-level electrical currents through your face to stimulate the muscles and encourage collagen and elastin production (do check the small print before buying one of these; they're not suitable for everyone).
Scroll down for a selection of well-reviewed options for a range of skin types and beauty goals, and get ready to pose.
