Whether you want a blast of LED light to even out skintone or a luxurious hangover cure, there’s a face mask for every need.

The rise and rise of face masks has been hard to ignore. You can only scroll through Instagram for so long before seeing a sheet-masked influencer in a white dressing gown.

The new influx of LED and thermal innovations are set to create a lot of noise but whatever your price point, there’s a mask to suit you. Put your feet up, pop a mask on and take twenty minutes for yourself…
