Shopper regret, the deep regret after buying an unwanted item, is real. I feel it every time I spend $300 or more on myself, regardless of how long I’ve stuck with a particular item. It goes back and forth in my head if it should be maintained or not. That’s why when I heard about Shani Darden’s much-talked-about (and fairly new) PRO LED Light Mask (which retails for a staggering $1,900), I gasped. And can this miracle mask be far more beneficial than regular spa facials and more affordable competitors?

This is currently the best grade on the market.

Tested. I recommend using the mask four times a week. Ahead, my thoughts on the tools, the benefits, and why I’ve become such an aficionado of luxury.

my minimalist skin care routine
I have never been a big fan of getting ready. The process of showering, drying your hair, cleansing your face, applying makeup, and getting dressed can seem exhausting and boring. Therefore, with the exception of weddings and special occasions, I stick to a fairly minimalist routine when it comes to skincare. Because of this, I have never tried home skin devices and LED masks. They always seemed expensive and laborious to my simplistic approach to beauty.
The Shani Darden By Déesse PRO LED Light Mask
Launched in May 2022, the LED Light Therapy Mask works with a combination of red, blue, and near-infrared wavelengths in a 10-minute dose. There is also a neck attachment that gives quicker results on the neck than topical routines. As for benefits, it claims to improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, skin tone and texture, and reduce mild to moderate acne within six weeks.
What really intrigued me about this mask among all the LED devices is that it has FDA approval. With so many hurdles and paperwork to go through before getting the FDA seal of approval, I felt no problem putting this on my face.

Post mask, I follow up with a hydrating serum to further lock in the benefits. Darden assured me that 4 times a week for 6 weeks will yield maximum results.
