The $495 Mask7 That Made Me Look Like a Sci-Fi Villain (And Maybe Saved My Skin)

1. The Arrival: A Glowing Red Flag

The box looked like it contained either:

a) A cutting-edge skincare device.

b) Something Elon Musk would wear to Mars.

At $495, the Boost LED Mask cost more than my entire "skincare shelfie" combined. When I turned it on for the first time, my apartment glowed like a futuristic crime scene. My cat froze mid-lick, clearly re-evaluating my life choices.

2. Week One: Becoming the Ghost of Skincare Future

The instructions said:

"Wear for 10 minutes daily to reduce wrinkles and boost collagen."

What they didn't mention:

- You'll resemble a CPR dummy crossed with a traffic light.

- Your partner will take unflattering Snapchats titled "Date Night With Darth Vader".

- The eerie humming makes you feel like you're being scanned by aliens.

First observation: My skin did feel plumper. Or maybe I was just hallucinating from the red light.

3. Week Three: The Ritual That Stuck

Somehow, this became my new self-care religion:

- 7:00 PM: Remove makeup.

- 7:05 PM: Slap on the mask.

- 7:06 PM: Scroll TikTok while looking like a futuristic welder.

The unexpected benefit? Those 10 minutes became my daily "do not disturb" zone. No emails. No chores. Just me and my glowing face, contemplating whether I should've bought the matching neck piece (I didn't).

4. The Results: Not What I Expected

After a month:

✅ Fine lines: "Less noticeable" according to my brutally honest best friend.

✅ Breakouts: Fewer surprise guests on my chin.

✅ Mental health: 10 minutes of forced stillness actually helped.

But here's the real magic—it made me consistent. For once, I stuck to a skincare routine longer than two weeks. Turns out, when you spend $495 on something, you will use it every damn day.

5. The Verdict: Would I Buy It Again?

- If you want instant miracles: Keep walking.

- If you need accountability disguised as sci-fi cosplay: Welcome aboard.

Final Thought: This mask won't stop time, but it did give me something priceless—10 daily minutes where I prioritized myself, even if I looked like a rejected Tron extra.

P.S. They make a $250 mini version if you're not ready to fully commit to the cyborg lifestyle.
