Read my CurrentBody skin review of the Series 2 mask.
Recently, CurrentBody released a newer version of their Series 1 Neck and Decolletage Mask - the Series 2 Neck and Decolletage Mask.
Before we delve into this CurrentBody skin review, for those who don't know who CurrentBody are:
Founded 15 years ago, CurrentBody has revolutionised skincare by creating skincare products for all aspects and issues, including rosacea, hair loss, anti-ageing, acne and hyperpigmentation. To create its products, CurrentBody collaborates with doctors, world-renowned dermatologists and aestheticians to ensure the safety of its skincare products and devices.
For those who aren't sure what LED light therapy is:
LED light therapy, or red light therapy, is a non-invasive and painless skincare treatment with many benefits for the skin. These include:
- Eliminating dark under-eye circles
- Reducing redness
- Evening out skin tone
- Give the skin a brighter complexion
- Reduce signs of wrinkles or lines
LED light therapy also has anti-ageing benefits, helps to reduce inflammation and promotes collagen.
Now that I've given you details of who CurrentBody is and how LED light therapy works, let's move on to the skincare device I'm reviewing - the CurrentBody LED Neck and Decolletage Mask Series 2.
Tell us more about the CurrentBody LED Neck and Decolletage Mask Series 2!
The CurrentBody Nec and Dec Mask *Series 2 is an upgrade from the Series 1 mask. Once again, CurrentBody have taken one of its best-selling products and improved it even further. This is something you just love to see within a beauty/skincare brand!
What comes in the box?
The items included in the box are as follows:
- The CurrentBody Neck and Decolletage Series 2 Mask
- 2x multi-straps
- USB-C charging cable
- Storage bag
- User manual
- NFC card (Veritace)
How do I use the CurrentBody Neck and Decolletage Mask?
To use the mask, you need to:
- Cleanse the neck and decolletage area and pat dry before use.
- Using the straps, attach the mask around the neck. The mask should sit nicely on your chest.
- Grab the built-in controller, turn on the mask, sit/lie there, and relax while the 10-minute treatment takes place.
- Voila! After 10 minutes, the device will switch itself off. Wipe the device clean with a damp cloth. Do not submerge it in water to clean it.
- If the device needs charging, charge your device by plugging the USB-C charger into a mains outlet. Once it's finished charging, the light on the built-in controller will be solid white.
Please remember: If it's the first time you're using a LED light therapy device like this one, please complete an allergy/sensitivity test beforehand. Instructions on how to do this are in the user manual.
How often should I use the mask?
The key thing is consistency when using this mask. For optimal results, it's recommended that it be used 3-5 times a week. If you want to multitask, you can use it along with your LED therapy face mask at the same time.
Can I use the mask anywhere else on my body?
Yes! As the device comes with two straps, you can use it on your back or stomach area!
What is the price of the CurrentBody LED Neck and Decolletage Mask Series 2?
This mask costs £359.99 (See the end of the post for a discount code!).
Tell me the updates the Series 2 Mask has!
1) 24% larger shape
The CurrentBody Nec and Dec mask offers a 24% larger shape for added coverage, allowing the LED lights to work their magic on more of the chest area.
2) 179 additional LED bulbs
This is a huge upgrade on the Series 1 mask. Not only does it offer 179 additional LED bulbs to the Series 1's 50 LED bulbs, but it also offers an additional third wavelength - deep near-infrared (alongside Red and Near-infrared)
Here is what each wavelength does to the skin:
Red Light (633nm) -
- Wakes up the skin's collagen.
- Reduces fine lines and wrinkles.
Near-Infrared Light (830nm) -
- Helps achieve a firmer, tighter and brighter complexion.
- Energises the cells deep below the skin.
Deep Near-Infrared Light (1072nm) -
- Targets the areas where ageing is more pronounced. E.g. the middle of the chest.
- Stimulating collagen deep under the skin.
When working together, these wavelengths help reverse the signs of ageing, improve the skin's elasticity, texture, and luminosity, and brighten the skin by 27%.
3) Reduces neck wrinkles by 30% and plumpness by 57% after 8 weeks
The Series 2 mask is capable of reducing neck wrinkles by 30% in 8 weeks and improving firmness by 57% after 8 weeks. The Series 1 mask reduces neck wrinkles by 24% in 4 weeks and improves skin firmness by 20% in 4 weeks.
4) Veritace
One safety aspect that CurrentBody have introduced in their newest device releases is Veritace. Each box contains a Veritace NFC card, and you will receive information on your phone on how your individual mask delivers results. Simply tap the card with your phone, tap the link, and it will show you everything about the masks' production and safety test results.
This gives you extra reassurance that your device has gone through rigorous testing and safety measures before being sold to you.
The three stages of Veritace are as follows:
1) Selection: They only select the best LED lights.
2) Testing and accuracy: The device is built and tested to perform.
3) Verification: Proof that your exact product meets the required standards for every use.
What are the comparisons between the Series 1 Neck and Decolletage Mask and the Series 2 Mask?
Now, as I haven't used the Series 1 mask, I can only give my opinion on the Series 2 mask (which I will review in a minute!). But here is a comparison table so you can compare the differences between the two LED devices:
What are the comparisons between buying the Neck and Decolletage Mask and buying the Face and Neck Kit?
Here is a comparison table of reasons to buy the CurrentBody Nec and Dec Mask and the buying the *Face and Neck Kit.
Both offer a better fit for the face, neck and chest and are made of liquid silicone, which adds extra comfort while using the devices.
What are your thoughts on the CurrentBody Neck and Decolletage Mask Series 2?
I have been loving this mask so far! I have been consistently using this mask 3 times a week for over 4 weeks now. I've noticed a difference in the reduction of redness, and it has more of a firmness in the chest area.
The built-in controller is a great addition to the mask as it means I can potter around and get a couple of tasks done while the mask does its work. I also love that I can use my Series 2 Face mask at the same time, which means I'm getting two treatments done in one 10-minute sitting - talk about multitasking at its finest!
Also, it lasts a while in terms of charging between uses. I have only had to charge it once within these 4 weeks - pretty good going to be fair!
As you can see in these before-and-after photos, the necklines have diminished slightly after 4 weeks of use. I know that as long as I keep using this mask consistently, as I already do, I think these neck lines will disappear even more!

[AD] In a world increasingly dominated by screens and digital distractions, the power of simple, joyful play has never been more vital. For children, play is far more than just a way to pass the time; it is the primary way they explore the world, learn new skills, and build relationships. When families join in the fun, the developmental benefits are multiplied. Family-centred play lays a solid foundation for a child’s growth in every aspect of life, from boosting brain development to strengthening emotional bonds.

Why Play Matters
Play is essential to a child’s cognitive, physical, social, and emotional well-being. The United Nations even recognises play as a fundamental right of every child. Through play, children make sense of the world around them. They learn how to problem-solve, develop motor skills, communicate with others, and express their emotions.
But the true magic happens when family members actively participate. When parents, siblings, and even grandparents get involved, children feel more supported and connected. This shared time builds trust, encourages open communication, and allows for valuable learning opportunities disguised as fun.
Strengthening Bonds Through Shared Play
Family playtime provides an invaluable chance to nurture relationships. Whether it’s playing a board game, building a fort with sofa cushions, or bouncing on a trampoline, these moments become treasured memories that reinforce a sense of belonging.
Children who feel emotionally secure are more likely to take risks in their learning and social interactions. This sense of safety is cultivated through consistent, positive engagement with caregivers. Simple activities like jeux d'intérieur (indoor games) offer not just entertainment but a safe space for children to express themselves and connect with their loved ones.

Cognitive and Language Development
Many forms of play directly contribute to brain development. Pretend play, for instance, stimulates imagination and enhances vocabulary as children narrate stories or role-play scenarios. Board games help improve memory, strategic thinking, and number recognition. Singing songs, reading aloud, and storytelling all contribute to language acquisition and literacy.
When families are involved, the learning becomes more robust. A parent asking open-ended questions during pretend play (“What happens next in our pirate adventure?”) helps children think critically and use language more effectively. These shared experiences also introduce new vocabulary and concepts naturally and engagingly.
Physical Development Through Active Play
Physical play is vital for developing gross motor skills, coordination, and overall health. Activities like running, jumping, and climbing help build strength and endurance. A trampoline, for example, offers a fantastic full-body workout for children and is also great fun for the whole family.
Even on rainy days, indoor activities or jeux d'intérieur can keep kids moving. Dance parties in the living room, homemade obstacle courses, or interactive video games that encourage movement can all support physical development while keeping the mood light and playful.

Emotional Intelligence and Social Skills
Playing with family helps children develop emotional intelligence. They learn to manage frustration when they lose a game, practise empathy when a sibling is upset, and navigate cooperation and turn-taking. These experiences are vital in helping children build resilience and understand the nuances of social interaction.
Through shared play, parents can model emotional regulation and positive social behaviour. For example, if a child becomes upset during a game, a parent can guide them through calming techniques and talk about feelings, helping the child to build emotional literacy.
Making Time for Play
Life is busy, and it can be challenging to find time for uninterrupted play. However, even small moments can have a big impact. Prioritise quality over quantity—a focused 20-minute game can be more beneficial than an hour of distracted multitasking.
Make play a regular part of your family routine. Designate a weekly game night, have daily play sessions after school, or involve the whole family in creating new jeux d'intérieur. Let children take the lead sometimes; their ideas may surprise you and offer fresh ways to engage together.
Inclusive Play for All Ages
One of the beautiful things about play is that it can be adapted to suit every age and ability. Toddlers might enjoy sensory bins or simple peek-a-boo games, while older children might prefer strategy-based board games or collaborative art projects. Activities like baking together, storytelling, or even gardening can also be play-based and developmentally rich.
Multiple generations can enjoy a trampoline, offering laughter and exercise in equal measure. Indoor play options are equally versatile, from building Lego masterpieces to crafting elaborate pillow forts.
Encouraging Creative Play
Creativity is not just for artists. It’s a crucial skill that helps children think outside the box and approach problems with flexible thinking. Encourage creative play by providing open-ended materials like blocks, costumes, art supplies, or recycled household items.
Join in the fun—pretend to be superheroes, invent your own board game, or make a mini theatre for puppet shows. These experiences build confidence and foster innovation, skills that will serve children well into adulthood.
Conclusion
Play is more than just a way to entertain children—it’s a vital part of their growth and development. When families play together, they build stronger connections, support emotional and cognitive development, and create a foundation of trust and joy that benefits children for life.
Whether it’s through the bounce of a trampoline, the joy of spontaneous jeux d'intérieur, or the laughter shared during a board game, the time spent playing together is never wasted. So, clear some space, follow your child’s lead, and dive into the fun. After all, the family that plays together, grows together.
