Now the troubled yet stylish brunette is back on screens and I just had to see if the mascara really had anything to do with her love city glow.

To make my transformation even more realistic, like Emily, I’ve had a pretty tough month personally while also having to juggle my career in a big city.

Once I (and the people in my house) got used to how horrible I was going to look for ten minutes a night, five times a week, it was time to take action.

I used Current Body’s green tea serum and two sheet masks during my four-week trial of the device, continuing with my nightly cleanser but ditching all other skincare products to see how the device actually worked.

And I’m impressed. The $585 device made my skin feel smoother and improved my complexion, despite the chaotic weeks I’d been through that really should have been wreaking havoc on my face.

An added benefit was that the mask helped me relax at night. After I had relaxed for ten minutes with it on, I was ready to roll over and sleep.

The Current Body mask is said to be the most powerful TGA approved LED face mask in the world and features 132 lights.

Before starting treatment

I used the LED mask for four weeks and noticed a huge difference in my skin.

It’s also surprisingly comfortable. I’ve used LED masks before and none of them were easy to use. I definitely fell asleep with the Current Body one, though.

The mask comes with a wired remote control, which is also the battery and is charged separately from the device.

The remote control is easy to use as it only has one button that turns it on and off. However, there is no need to turn it off as it has a timer so after 10 minutes of treatment, it automatically turns off.

I only had to charge my mask once every four weeks, about three weeks in after I noticed the light was dimmer. I thought about trying to charge it that night, but it shut off before the ten minutes were up, forcing me to charge it and do the treatment properly.

The mascara is loved by celebrities, also after the signature glow, including Gal Gadot, Kim and Kourtney Kardashian and Cillian Murphy.

The mask comes with a dust bag and also goggles to block out the red light – I didn’t use these, though the light is bright so if you have sensitive eyes you’ll find them useful.

After just four weeks, I noticed that some of my finer lines had disappeared, my skin texture had improved and I had a ‘glow’ around me.

The mask is very comfortable and has a built-in timer.

What is the scientific basis for this technology? The non-invasive treatment combines red and near-infrared light, two wavelengths that act beneath the skin’s surface to stimulate the natural rejuvenation process.

By stimulating collagen and blood circulation, the skin is visibly bright and looks noticeably healthier.

The results are so noticeable after using the LED mask that 95 percent of users said their skin tone, texture, firmness and tightness improved.

I’m excited to see how my skin continues to improve with the mask, as many of the comments say that while they noticed changes at four weeks, like me, it was at eight weeks that they really saw their faces change.
