Siobhan McNally roadtests the latest outlandish celebrity skincare craze
The glow down

LOOKING like Daft Vader in a glowing face mask, I nipped into my local corner shop for a morning paper and almost felt the full force of the law when a terrified shop assistant thought it was an Imperial invasion.

"It's only me," I spoke up from behind the mask. "I'm testing the latest beauty trend, not trying to rob the shop." In a galaxy far, far away from my normal life, celebrities have been revealing the secret to their smooth, wrinkle-free complexions is a futuristic beauty technology that can be used at home.

There are no limits to how silly A-listers will look in their pursuit of youth, and these Star Wars-style masks are the latest in a long line of bizarre beauty trends. From vampire facials, and vitamin IV drips, to drinking your wee, and cryotherapy.

Although they seem to have got somebody else out of the deep freeze rather than 65-year-old cryo fan Madonna for her latest tour.

First seen on the third series of cult Netflix show Emily In Paris, the LED light therapy face mask has now become a skincare staple for stars.

Jennifer Aniston, 54, Victoria Beckham, 49, (right) Lisa Snowdon, 51, and even young comparatively Saturdays singer Frankie Bridge, 34, have all posted photos of themselves revealing the secret to their radiant, glowing skin is wearing an LED light therapy face mask.
