From Furiosa to flawless!
Everyone is curious how Charlize Theron stays looking so youthful — including the “Will and Woody” podcast listeners. During a recent interview, the Oscar winner was asked how she still looks so good, to which she deadpanned, “Red light — and the blood of a 19-year-old.”
“Basically, I live in a red light mask at all times,” the “Apex” star continued in a clip shared on Instagram.
“I just love them,” she said, adding that it’s the only thing she’s done in the last few years — more so than “any lotion or cream” — that has her saying, “Wow, I can actually see a difference.”
While she didn’t name an exact favorite, in light — or should we say red light — of this revelation, we rounded up a few picks for every budget, so we can get a little of that star glow ourselves.
If you’re looking for an entry-level mask, WavyTalk’s is currently on sale for under $100. Besides reducing fine lines, this red light device is designed to increase skin’s radiance and minimize breakouts.
One five-star review reads, “I will often get breakouts on my chin, and this mask has kept them at bay.”
This well-rated Shark LED mask uses both red light and infrared, which supports firmer skin and boosts collagen, according to the brand. The beauty-tech favorite also offers InstaChill for undereye cooling (which helps puffiness) and a blue light cycle to minimize acne.
“Absolutely love this mask! I use it every day and have noticed an immense improvement to my skin texture, glow and the overall look of my skin,” wrote one shopper.
It’s also a celebrity favorite; Sofia Richie Grainge used it in a Vogue “Beauty Secrets” video, while Paige DeSorbo once raved about it on Amazon Live.
Another budget-friendly pick, the Inia Red Light Mask has different cycles for blemishes, dullness or wrinkles — and it gets good feedback from customers. While some masks work in 10 minutes, Inia’s version can be worn for up to 30.
“After consistent use, my skin has started to look brighter, smoother and more refreshed. It’s also become a relaxing part of my routine — almost like a mini spa session at home,” reads one five-star review.
The FDA-cleared device offers chin coverage, and the brand says it’s clinically proven to decrease visible wrinkles while helping make skin brighter and firmer.
“I can literally feel something in my face, like a tightening feeling, right after taking it off. I’ve only had it for about two weeks, and I can’t stop looking in the mirror. I’m shocked by how much younger my face is looking,” one Amazon reviewer wrote of the high-end mask, which they bought after having lackluster results with a less expensive one.
Ulike’s top-of-the-line model is designed for smoother, brighter skin, and it targets fine lines and wrinkles as well as discoloration and redness. The high-tech company invests in research and promises results in just eight minutes a day with four modes: Glow, firm, rejuvenate and clear.
“An amazing product that really lives up to its promises,” one shopper wrote on Amazon.
