LED face mask

I’ve ordered the Shark LED facemask I’ve been looking at for a while (black November deal on now, in case anyone is interested).

Do you use one and if so how have you built in the routine into your daily life? I gather I should do it for just a few minutes 2-3 times per week? Do you do morning or evening? Can you walk around / do household jobs while wearing it or do you take the time for sit and relax? Do I need any particular products with it, a cream to apply before/ after for example? I’ve just got the mask and charging station, no lotions or potions with it.

Thanks for any tips, advice, recommendations x

I have had the Shark one for couple of years, for me weekdays evening for good 20 mins while walking around in the house, doing stuff. Washed dried skin, no creams

it’s bit heavy but if you set it to be tight, it won’t fall off

but I am not sure if my way is the correct one , just the one I follow

great results x

Thank you! Keen to give it a try but I don’t want it to be one of those things I give up on after 2 months!

Do you notice any affect on skin, eg tightness, dryness, sensitivity?

does anyone know whether I can use tretinoin while also using the facemask? On the same day? On alternate days? Not at all?

Definitley makes it less dull more radiant.…

i give up on so many things after few months, but because I can do stuff while putting this one on, it’s just very easy to incorporate. Personally I don’t put any creams on while wearing it , but at night I put loads on incl retinol, so no restriction

only one thing to be careful on is when you do Botox you do need to wait for few days before using. X

I am 66 and have used mine on the better aging routine every day (day 48 today). It recommends doing this for up to 8 weeks. I also use the eye refresh routine daily (5-15 minutes) after the better aging. I set my alarm a bit earlier and do it in the morning. It’s a killer on work days but I get up, wash my face and get back in bed with the mask.

I’ll alternate the routine I use after the 8 weeks. I think it has made a difference but I couldn’t really pinpoint what it is. My skin just looks better and people have commented. I can’t decide whether to take it on holiday with me but I don’t want to risk it getting broken - it’s a first world problem but still a dilemma 😂

Not a Shark one but mine made my age spots worse - which apparently can be a side effect but not one that gets mentioned. When i say worse I assume accelerated rather than caused as I understand that they are as a result of sun damage a long time ago.
