It is without a doubt that face masks are having a resurgence. Whether sheet, clay or LED, they have become an increasingly popular part of the modern women’s beauty routine.
I’ve had the pleasure of using the Project E Beauty Lumalux Face V2 3D LED Red Light Therapy Mask over the last few weeks, and not only does it give me a little time to relax and unwind after a long day on set as Vogue’s fashion assistant, but it’s also become a welcome addition to my skincare routine.
Here, I’m sharing my honest thoughts on Project E Beauty’s latest launch, so you have everything you need to know before adding it to cart.
The fit
I was pleasantly surprised when I first put the Lumalux Face V2 LED mask on—not only did it feel like a silicone cloud, it fit my features perfectly, unlike many sheet masks I’ve tried. I didn’t have to fiddle with it or pull it to fit my face. All I had to do was place one strap over another and I was good to go. The mask also comes with protective eye cushions that are pre-installed, which added an extra layer of comfort.
The biggest bonus was the velcro strap at the back of the mask, which sat perfectly. Project E Beauty recommends fitting the mask higher toward the crown of the head to ensure it doesn’t slip down your face. Once it was on, I attached the clip provided to my clothing, which made it super easy to move around the house and sip on my morning cup of tea.
The settings
The Lumalux Face V2 LED mask has two working modes, Youth Enhancing and Skin Clearing. The Youth Enhancing mode combines red, infrared, and deep infrared light to penetrate the dermis and underlying tissue. This helps support natural collagen production and promote skin resilience. The Skin Clearing mode combines red and blue light to help improve the appearance of blemish-prone skin and support a calmer, more balanced complexion.
I’ve been switching between both settings over the last few weeks and it’s been great to have the option to target varying skin concerns. As I often have hormonal breakouts, I do gravitate towards the Skin Clearing mode in the hopes that over time, I’ll see a noticeable difference in my skin’s texture.
There’s no need to set timer on your phone or stress about overdoing your treatment as the mask will limit each session to 10 minutes. Once you’ve finished the treatment, it will beep once and shut down. Working in fashion and constantly being on the go, I’ve found that making myself slow down for just 10 minutes has become a ritual I look forward to. Project E Beauty recommends using the mask three to five times per week, with each session lasting no longer than 10 minutes.
The battery life
The mask comes with a USB Type-C cable and charging jack, with a recommended charging time of five hours. Throughout my time using the mask, I’ve only needed to recharge it twice, which I have found particularly impressive in terms of battery life. For ease of use, the mask also features indicator lights to let you know when it’s time to charge. A flashing amber light signals a low battery, while a solid amber light indicates that charging is in progress. It’s a thoughtful feature that allows you to plan ahead and avoid any disappointment when you’re ready for your next LED session.
The verdict
If you’re wondering whether or not I’ll continue using the Lumalux Face V2 LED mask following this trial, my answer is yes. I’m a big fan of non-invasive treatments that help me slow down despite my busy schedule, while also supporting natural collagen production for a healthier, clearer complexion. The perfect fit and easy to use settings make it beginner-friendly, and the set-up guide immediately answered any questions I had. It also stores away nicely in the dust bag provided which helps me keep the mask safe and clean between uses.
I’d definitely recommend Project E Beauty’s latest launch to anyone in the market for an LED mask that can fit seamlessly into their everyday beauty routine, because that’s exactly what it’s done for me. What appeals to me most is just how easy and fuss-free the process is, as well as how firm my skin has been feeling since incorporating it into my routine. That’s a win for me.
