Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare is a cult favorite for many reasons.  Among his best sellers is my newfound love, the FDA-cleared, LED light-therapy full-face mask: DRx SpectraLite FaceWare Pro ($455).  It’s three treatments in one, hands-free, and cordless – designed to combat aging and acne.  And it’s not just me – Allure Magazine awarded it a Best of Beauty Winner this year and Elle Magazine awarded it the Best Overall LED Face Mask for 2023.

Since our skin cells absorb light energy similar to the way plants do, the mask features 100 red (anti-aging) LED lights to smooth wrinkles, boost collagen, even skin tone and texture, and reduce sun spots.  Plus 60 blue LED lights that clear mild to moderate acne.  You choose your light setting – red, blue, or both – and after the programmed treatment time, the mask automatically shuts off. It is safe for daily use, even for sensitive skin. 

While I love all that, what I love the most is that for once I can be lazy about my skincare routine!  I’ve had a pretty involved nighttime skincare routine for years now, so the last thing I want to do is add something else to the mix.  But I use this in the morning before my eyes are even really open.  I keep it by my bed and just pop it on while I’m still waking up – and three minutes later, I’ve already accomplished something.  It’s so easy, I’ll run it twice or move it to my décolletage if I want a few more minutes in bed. I have even fallen back asleep while it is on. Like most things in life, consistency is key – but this device scores so high on simplicity, ease of use, and results that it gives new meaning to the term beauty sleep.
