CurrentBody LED Mask Series 2 vs Series 3 | What's New & Is It Worth Upgrading?

Welcome back to the blog! Today's post is one I have been so excited to write since receiving this in September because we're talking about one of my favourite skincare devices ever! If you've been reading my blog for a while, you'll already know how much I love LED light therapy and how impressed I've been with my CurrentBody Series 2 mask over the last two years. Out of nowhere, CurrentBody launched the LED Red Light Therapy Face Mask: Series 3 $799.99 CAD | $569.99 USD | £499.99* this autumn and I was lucky enough to be sent one to try. As someone who purchased the Series 2 with my own money back in November 2024 and was still using it regularly, I was curious to see whether the upgrades would actually be worth it. Don't forget, you can use my code DANIELLEBB for 10% off sitewide, with the discount often increasing during Black Friday sales too! 

Before we get into all the new features, let's talk about what's stayed the same. One of the biggest reasons I was so excited about this launch is that CurrentBody hasn't changed the what I love about the Series 2, but they have built on them:

• Same flexible silicone mask design with under-chin and jawline coverage

• Same 10-minute treatment time

• Same clinically proven anti-ageing wavelengths

• Same Veritace quality guarantee

Now onto the upgrades and there are many! I am honestly blown away with the enhancements they have made! At first glance, the most obvious upgrade is the touchscreen control, which feels more premium and makes it easy to choose your treatment. The mask also now features a huge 750 LEDs compared to 236 in the Series 2, six wavelengths instead of three and four treatment presets rather than the single anti-ageing mode. Probably the most interesting addition, however, is MyDose Technology. Through the new CurrentBody app, you can customise treatments based on your own concerns and map different wavelengths to different areas of the face.

One of the most exciting changes is the addition of three new wavelengths. While the Series 2 focused purely on anti-ageing, the Series 3 now allows you to target a wider range of skin concerns including blemishes, pigmentation and redness! 

The Series 2 had the following three wavelengths:

Red (633nm) - supports collagen production and helps reduce the appearance of fine lines.

Near Infrared (830nm) - helps improve firmness.

Deep Near Infrared (1072nm) - supports skin renewal.

The Series 3 adds these three in addition to the above:

Blue (415nm) - targets blemishes and excess oil.

Green (532nm) - helps improve the appearance of pigmentation.

Yellow (590nm) - helps calm redness.

The four preprogrammed presets include the OG Advanced Anti-Ageing treatment to help with firmness, collagen support and reducing visible signs of ageing, Advanced Clearing which is designed for anyone struggling with breakouts, congestion or excess oil. Complexion Corrector targets pigmentation and redness and Brighten & Balance focuses on achieving a more even-looking, radiant complexion.

As well as these four presets, you can now fully customise your LED light therapy treatments with the CurrentBody MyDose app where you can map your preferred wavelength to your mask. You can select the wavelengths and placement to best match your skin concerns and goals while MyDose™ automatically calculates the optimal amount of light energy for every session. You can then save and share your personalised treatments with friends and family if they also have the mask! 

Over the past two years, using my Series 2 mask in the evening has become such a ritual for me and the Series 3 has fit seamlessly into my skincare routine! I usually cleanse, use my ZIIP Halo, cleanse again then get into bed with the mask and do the New York Times puzzles lol. It is recommended to use the mask 3-5 times per week and I am definitely on the higher end of that and honestly, the worst thing about the new mask is having to stop after the recommended 10 minutes as I want to use the different treatments after each other! It's become such an important part of my self-care routine as well as skincare routine, I genuinely miss it when I skip a night. 

Having experienced such great results with my Series 2, I went into testing the Series 3 with pretty high expectations and thankfully it hasn't disappointed. While I've only been using the new mask for just under two months, I'm already seeing the same benefits I've come to expect from consistent LED use. My skin looks and feels smoother and firmer and the appearance of fine lines is reduced. My complexion is calmer, active blemishes seem to resolve more quickly and any post-breakout pigmentation doesn't linger for as long. More than anything, my skin just looks healthier overall when LED light therapy is a regular part of my routine! Typically I use the Advanced Anti-Ageing preset around 3 times per week then rotate through the other presets or MyDose depending on my skin concerns which lately, aside from ageing, have been pigmentation and blemishes!

The mask is also easy to travel with, it's pliable and comes with a protective bag! It fits my face well and the multiway strap is comfortable, it has optional eye inserts which I use, and I don’t have any sensitivity to the red light with my eyes. To clean you just need to wipe it with a damp cloth and let it dry. The charge is excellent and lasts just over 2 weeks and a full charge takes a couple of hours! I love the screen as now you can see the battery indicator so you can easily tell when it's close to needing to be charged! The device is 100% painless and the LEDs don’t generate any heat.

I think it's safe to say that I am completely obsessed with the CurrentBody LED Face Mask Series 3*. The Series 2 was already one of the best beauty purchases I've ever made, but CurrentBody has managed to improve on that! If you already own and love the Series 2, I don't think upgrading is absolutely essential as it remains an excellent device. However, if you are looking for more targeted treatments for concerns such as blemishes, pigmentation and redness, the additional wavelengths, treatment presets and MyDose functionality make the Series 3 a really exciting option.

If you're completely new to LED light therapy and your budget allows, this is absolutely the version I would choose. You're getting everything that made the Series 2 such a cult favourite, but with the flexibility to target a much wider range of skin concerns! I always look forward to using mine and it has become just as permanent a part of my routine as the Series 2 was. I'll be passing my original Series 2 onto my aunt, who is Mother of the Bride next year and was already planning to buy one during Black Friday!

If you're tempted to try the CurrentBody LED Face Mask Series 3, don't forget you can use my code DANIELLEBB for 10% off year-round. Historically, this has increased to 20% off during Black Friday (the only time the CurrentBody discount doubles!) making it one of the best times of the year to buy if you've been considering investing in LED light therapy!

Skincare Review | Six Serums For Brighter, Firmer, Healthier Skin

This week, I thought it was about time I shared an updated roundup of some of the serums currently in my skincare collection! Some are long-time staples that I have repurchased for years, while others are newer discoveries that have quickly earned a permanent spot in my routine. These are all products I would recommend if you are looking for brighter, firmer, clearer or healthier-looking skin. 

Starting off with the U Beauty RESURFACING Compound* and this is a multitasking treatment that is a one stop shop for brightening, smoothing, and resurfacing skin. U Beauty’s ethos is to have fewer, better products to transform your skin and save you time. Every product is powered by multi-patent-pending SIREN Capsule Technology™, a precision delivery system that adapts to your skin concerns as they evolve through time. This serum takes the place of several products by combining antioxidants, stabilized vitamins C and E, a gentle retinol ester, and a mix of exfoliating acids to help even out texture, refine pores, and soften fine lines. I’ve found it leaves my skin looking smoother, brighter, more refined and clearer after use, and, especially when I use it at night, I wake up with glowing skin. It delivers overnight results and is a true multitasker, and I haven't experienced any sensitivity! I also love the scent of it! It is definitely an investment but worth it and I do have a discount code for anyone making their first order - DANIELLEBEAUTYBLOG20 for 20% off! Read my full U Beauty review here! 

Onto a cult classic next and now I’ve used up a few bottles of the Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair, I am definitely part of the cult! This restorative serum contains peptides, hyaluronic acid and bifida ferment lysate to help hydrate, protect and support the skin barrier. It’s called night repair but can be used AM or PM though I do tend to use it in the evening and I wake up with hydrated, plump and firm skin. It feels calming and I love that it contains antioxidants to protect my skin too! Read my full review here!  

Another serum that is no stranger to my skincare collection or blog is the NIOD Copper Amino Isolate Serum 3 1:1 (CAIS3). This one has been a staple in my skincare rotation since 2016! It’s a copper peptide serum in a blue watery liquid formula with a slight vinegar scent (don’t worry it dissipates very quickly!). This sinks in quickly and can be used in the morning and evening. It’s a pro-repair and pro-collagen serum that maintains healthy looking skin by targeting signs of skin ageing including textural damage, uneven skin tone, enlarged pores and a lack of radiance. My skin really does look and feel much healthier when I use this consistently. My skin looks clearer, more even and firmer - it’s a must have! I tend to keep my routine simple when using this serum as it does all the heavy lifting for me! After the first few bottles of this I went through, I noticed its effects more when I stopped using it and I always have it in my stash now! See my full NIOD review here though noting I just found out they are not doing their yearly Black Friday sale throughout the month of November now - it’s been moved to April! 

The SkinCeuticals CE Ferulic* is my current Vitamin C serum and it contains 15% pure Vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid), 1% Vitamin E (alpha tocopherol to replenish skin lipids), and 0.5% Ferulic Acid to enhance protection against environmental damage caused by free radicals that can contribute to visible signs of atmospheric ageing. I find Vitamin C serums tricky and this is a beautiful formulation that absorbs quickly and works for all skin types including sensitive. It targets signs of ageing and photodamage, the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and the loss of firmness, while brightening skin’s complexion. This is my second bottle and I've found it particularly effective at softening fine lines and helping post-breakout marks fade more quickly. My overall skin tone is much brighter and even with use and I love using it in the morning with my SPF as my skin feels more protected! Read my full SkinCeuticals review here!

The Anua Azelaic Acid 10 + Hyaluron Redness Soothing Serum* has become my go to for when my skin is acting up with blemishes! It’s watery in texture and features 10% azelaic acid, along with hyaluronic acid while the green colour comes from Anua’s Gentle Calming Complex of natural ingredients including green tea leaf water, aloe and cica. It’s soothing and calming, reduces redness and hydrates skin. Whenever my skin is having a moment, this is the serum I reach for as my spots and residual marks seem to clear up so much quicker. Don’t forget you can get up to 5% more off at YesStyle with my discount code DANIELLESBB5! See my full review here!

Last but not least is the L'Occitane Immortelle Overnight Reset Oil-in-Serum*. This radiance-boosting serum is designed to revive dull, tired-looking skin with an infusion of immortelle essential oil, which is rich in antioxidants to help combat visible signs of ageing. Despite the name, the texture is surprisingly lightweight and soothing, making it a lovely option for sensitive skin. I tend to use this one in the evenings and it absorbs quickly, leaving my skin feeling comfortable, nourished and hydrated overnight. By morning, my skin always looks fresher and more rested. I absolutely love the scent of this, it is so comforting and nostalgic to me despite not having had it before and, aesthetically, the bottle filled with golden bubbles looks so good on my dressing table!  

I'd happily recommend any of these serums depending on your skin concerns and budget. Whether my skin is looking a little dull, breaking out, feeling dehydrated or just needs a bit of extra support, there's a serum here that I know I can rely on. If you've tried any of these I'd love to know what you think, and if there's a serum you swear by that I need to add to my wishlist, let me know!

CurrentBody LED Hair Growth Helmet Review | My Results After 6 Months

I'm sure you all know by now just how much I love red light therapy for my skin, so I was really excited to try the CurrentBody LED Hair Growth Helmet* (and don't forget, you can use my code DANIELLEBB for 10% off on the website!). I have consciously been trying to up my haircare game over the last few years by using less heat, incorporating hair masks, paying more attention to scalp care and actually making it to the hairdresser a couple of times a year (which is enough for me, even if my hairdresser would probably disagree!). Anyway, having seen GREAT results with my CurrentBody LED Face Mask, I was excited to see what the red light therapy could do for my scalp and hair! Before we get to that, let's dive into what the helmet is made up of and how it works!  

The CurrentBody LED Hair Growth Helmet £649.99 | $1,049.99 CAD | $859.99 USD* uses 120 evenly spaced LED’s operating at clinically proven red light wavelengths of 620 - 660nm (nanometers) which is recognised as the most effective range for supporting hair growth and scalp health. The lower range 620nm wavelength helps to improve scalp health by promoting circulation, and the higher 660nm wavelength penetrates deeper to stimulate growth and repair at the follicle root. Together, these wavelengths are designed to support improved hair condition, density and thickness over time. The helmet is available in 2 sizes - medium and large, and only needs to be used for 10 minutes per day. CurrentBody recommends consistent use for 12-16 weeks, after which, most users should begin to notice thicker, fuller-looking hair and improvements in overall hair quality. 

A clinical study has shown the helmet supports the following:

• Increase scalp hydration by 15%
• Reduce oiliness by 61%
• Reduce hair breakage by 22%
• Deliver 123% increased hair growth
• Reduce hair loss by 72%

 

I should preface this by saying I am probably not the usual target audience for this device as I am not suffering significant hair loss or thinning. However, as mentioned at the start, I love red light therapy and am consciously trying to add in devices as well as products to support ageing - and thinking of my hair as well as skin! My hair has always been fine, it’s long with a tendency to have greasy roots and dry ends. Prior to starting the helmet, I noticed I had lost a lot of shine and my hair was prone to breakage. It’s also quite damaged around the front as I do straighten it regularly (though not every day like I used to years ago!)

I would say I use this around 4-6 times per week and have been since April. Consistency definitely is key and while I haven't noticed a dramatic transformation, I have noticed some positive changes. My scalp isn't as itchy or flaky as it was before, my hair seems stronger and shinier, and when comparing photos from April 2026 to October 2026, I was pleasantly surprised to see that my part appears slightly denser, particularly towards the front where I have the most damage. The difference is subtle, but encouraging to see! While I haven't noticed a huge reduction in shedding, my ends still look full and in good condition despite not having had a haircut since early August.

l-r: April 19 - October 16 - taken in my bathroom where there is no natural light on my iPhone 17 front camera.

Overall, I've enjoyed incorporating the CurrentBody LED Hair Growth Helmet into my routine. The 10-minute treatment is quick and easy to fit into my day, and because it's hands-free I can potter about and get other things done, which is always a bonus. The built-in Bluetooth headphones are a nice addition, although for such a short treatment I don't always bother connecting them so they aren't essential for me. The battery life is excellent too, with a charge lasting around 10 days for me. I also find it easier to stay consistent with this rather than scalp serums as I don't always enjoy the feeling of products sitting on my scalp or needing to wash my hair more frequently.

Aside from the occasional hair getting caught in the rubber suction cups when removing the helmet, I've experienced no negative side effects. I find wearing my hair in a low ponytail and removing the helmet slowly helps minimise this, and I definitely wouldn't recommend using it with your hair down if it's long and prone to tangling.

If you're experiencing hair thinning, increased shedding or hair loss, you may see more noticeable results than I have. However, even as someone who wasn't dealing with those concerns, I’m happy with the improvements in my scalp health and the overall condition of my hair! If you're already a fan of red light therapy and are looking to invest in your long-term hair and scalp health, I think the CurrentBody LED Hair Growth Helmet is well worth considering.

If you're new to red light therapy and are deciding where to start, I'd also recommend checking out my review of the CurrentBody LED Face Mask, which I've personally seen more noticeable results from. If you're thinking about trying the CurrentBody LED Hair Growth Helmet, don't forget you can save 10% with my code DANIELLEBB on the CurrentBody website. Considering the investment, it's a nice saving if you've already been thinking about adding it to your routine. If you're planning to shop during the upcoming Black Friday sales, my discount code has increased to 20% off in the previous years so it may be worth keeping an eye out for even bigger savings!

Jones Road Beauty Review | My Favourite Jones Road Products

I've been doing a few one-brand beauty roundups lately and this week it's Jones Road Beauty's turn! Founded by Bobbi Brown after leaving her namesake company in 2016, Jones Road Beauty launched on October 26, 2020, on the same day her 25-year non-compete agreement with Estee Lauder expired! The company was built around the philosophy that the world doesn't need more beauty products, it needs better beauty products, the brand focuses on simple, easy-to-use formulas designed to enhance your natural beauty rather than cover it up. I've been lucky enough to try a selection of products from the range over the last year, so today I'm sharing my thoughts on the products in my collection and which ones I'd most recommend picking up.

My first foray into Jones Road Beauty was the Miracle Balm* in Flushed, a cool pink shade with a subtle sheen and sheer-to-buildable coverage. Described as a light-reflecting balm rather than a traditional blush, it can be used in a variety of ways and gives the skin a fresh, healthy-looking glow. The texture is so unique and unlike anything else in my collection. You need to break the surface of the balm with your index finger first, and then warm it up to soften the formula. It doesn't fully set on my skin and retains a slight tackiness, which makes it one of my favourite products to wear during Alberta's cold, dry winters. I often reach for it on days when the temperature falls below -10°C as it gives my cheeks a little extra protection while still looking beautiful on the skin. Miracle Balm won't be for everyone, especially if you prefer a very matte makeup look, but I think it's particularly well suited to normal, dry or more mature skin types.

l-r: Flushed, Chic, Dusty Rose and Golden Hour

I apply it over foundation using the Everything Brush* - a dense, wide and flat brush that gives controlled, even coverage - and have been impressed by both the colour payoff and wear time. Despite the balmy texture, I haven't noticed it fading or transferring throughout the day and it keeps my skin hydrated while giving it a healthy sheen without ever looking greasy. The full-size compact contains a generous 50g of product and, honestly, I think it would take me years to finish. Therefore, I was very happy when Jones Road made the Mini Miracle Balms* permanent! I have the shades Chic, Cheeky and Golden Hour and find the smaller size much more practical while still containing plenty of product, and you can also bundle these for a saving! The formula is incredibly easy to build and blend, making all three shades very wearable. The brand actually sent me two full-size Miracle Balms in Flushed, so I passed one on to a friend who quickly became a fan too, even decanting some of it to keep in her handbag! Her verdict? "I need this product in my life!" High praise indeed! 

Continuing with blush and earlier this year Jones Road launched the Blushing Sticks*. These are buttery lip and cheek tints that are easy to apply, blend beautifully and can be built up from a sheer wash of colour to something a little more noticeable. Unlike the Miracle Balms, which stay balmy on the skin, the Blushing Sticks feel more like a traditional cream blush and leave behind a soft-sheen finish without any shimmer. I love the matte pink packaging and satisfying magnetic closure, and the formula looks just as lovely on the lips as it does on the cheeks. They wear well throughout the day on my skin and are incredibly easy to apply either directly from the stick or with a brush. I have three of the nine shades: Bare (a cool dusty rose), Pinch (a neutral rose) and Joy (a sheer raspberry), and all three are beautiful everyday colours. 

l-r: Bare, Pinch, Joy

Moving onto base, the Your Skin Foundation Stick* is described as offering medium to full, buildable coverage, although I'd personally say it leans more towards light to medium coverage with a very natural-looking finish. The formula is creamy and lightweight, gliding onto the skin without dragging and blending out effortlessly with a brush. It feels comfortable to wear throughout the day and never looks cakey or heavy on my skin. 

I was sent the shades Beige and Neutral Beige, both of which are described as light to medium shades with neutral undertones. They're a little too dark for me unless I have some tan on, but the formula itself wears beautifully on my combination skin. I do get a little oily around my nose throughout the day, but the foundation stays in place well and is easy to touch up with a little powder. I also love the weighty magnetic packaging, which feels luxurious and the packaging is sleek which makes this a great option for travelling. It's no surprise this foundation went on to win an Allure Best of Beauty Award this year, as it's one of the easiest stick foundations I've tried.

Some of the newer products to the Jones Road Beauty lineup are the Wide Awake Brightening Neutraliser* and Concealers* (name change pending). The formula is thicker and firmer than I was initially expecting, but it spreads easily once warmed up and I find using my ring finger works particularly well for application. I have the Wide Awake Brightening Neutraliser in Fair Peach, which does a great job of colour-correcting and brightening my dark under-eye area. For concealer, I have the shades 8N (light with neutral undertones) and 9W (light to medium with warm undertones). Both are a little darker than I would normally choose, although 9W works well for me. 

l-r: Your Foundation Stick in Beige, Neutraliser in Fair Peach, Concealers in 8N and 9W

The coverage is medium to full, the formulas layer beautifully without looking cakey and they wear well throughout the day on my combination skin when set with powder. Despite the higher coverage, they still manage to look quite natural and never feel heavy under the eyes.

I also have the Bright Skin Illuminating Drops* and I have not stopped using these since I got them! They give my skin a soft, natural-looking glow while adding a boost of hydration. I've mainly been mixing them into my foundation and the ultra-fine pearls add the most beautiful luminosity without looking glittery or over the top. They can also be mixed into moisturiser (for the face or body) or worn on bare skin for a subtle glow. I have the shade Gilded, a white gold, and it works beautifully with my complexion. I've had no issues with it pilling under my skincare or makeup and I honestly think this might be one of my favourite products from the brand. Plus, just look at that chic packaging... obsessed! 

Next up is the Statement Mascara* in Black. The wand was a little bit of a learning curve for me as I'm more used to smaller, non-curved brushes, but once I got the hang of it I really enjoyed the formula. It separates my lashes beautifully and after a couple of coats gives great volume without looking clumpy. Best of all, I haven't experienced any smudging or flaking, which is always my biggest concern with mascara! 

l-r: Miracle Balm in Golden Hour, Bright Skin Illuminating Drops in Gilded, Lip Recharge in Rose

Lastly for makeup, the Lip Recharge* in Rose (a sheer pink with gold shimmer) is probably one of my favourites from everything I've tried! I'm a sucker for a good lip product and I'm absolutely obsessed with the cooling metal applicator tip. Despite containing shimmer, it doesn't leave my lips looking glittery and instead adds a beautiful glossy finish with just a hint of sparkle. The formula leaves my lips feeling smooth, hydrated and comfortable, while also giving them a lovely shine that lasts well. It contains peptides, vitamin E and shea butter, plus a subtle mint scent that makes it feel even more refreshing to use. This has quickly become a handbag staple for me! 

For skincare, I have the Eye Cream* and have been really enjoying it. The lightweight formula keeps my under-eyes nicely hydrated and sits well under makeup, making it the perfect partner for the Wide Awake Brightening Neutraliser and Concealer. It contains macadamia seed oil and trehalose to help support hydration and I've had no issues with pilling or creasing. 

I also have a couple of products from the body care range. The Body Scrub* contains natural bamboo powder and strikes a great balance between being effective and gentle. It gives me the level of exfoliation I want without feeling abrasive, and my skin always feels noticeably smoother, softer and brighter afterwards. The Body Cream* might be one of the richest body moisturisers I've ever tried! Formulated with sodium hyaluronate, natural oils and ceramides, it leaves my skin feeling incredibly soft, nourished and hydrated with a gorgeous glow. I personally prefer using it at night as it takes a little while to sink in, although the downside is that I found myself getting through the tub surprisingly quickly! Both products have a subtle citrus scent that doesn't linger on the skin and I am completely obsessed with the matte blue packaging, which looks so chic in the bathroom.  

Overall, I've been really impressed with the products I've tried from Jones Road Beauty. The brand's focus on effortless, skin-loving makeup really shines through and I usually reach for at least one of the products everyday while doing my makeup! If I had to pick just a few standout products, they'd be the Miracle Balm, Lip Recharge and Bright Skin Illuminating Drops. Honourable mentions also go to the Blushing Sticks and Statement Mascara, both of which have become favourites too. I know the foundation stick and concealers would be favourites if they matched my natural colouring a little better! 

Jones Road Beauty is available directly from their website and I would definitely recommend checking the brand out if you love natural looking makeup and easy to use formulas! All Jones Road Beauty products are cruelty-free and Leaping Bunny Certified. Let me know if you have tried Jones Road or what's on your wish list!
