Holiday season is nothing if not an excuse to stock up on your beauty favourites – ideally, with all the limited-edition trimmings of a one-of-a-kind coffret (or four).

Trending: Shark’s CryoGlow LED Light Therapy Mask
Looking for the best beauty tech gift idea for Christmas 2024? You’ll have a very grateful recipient (even if it’s yourself) if you share the Shark CryoGlow FW312UK Under-Eye Cooling & LED Anti-Ageing & Blemish Repair Mask. The name takes up a lot of space on your letter to Santa, but it’s worth it; it’s the UK’s first LED light-therapy mask to offer under-eye cooling, while also helping to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles over time. And that is a very big deal indeed. Developed with the help of dermatologists, and designed for all skin types, it leaves skin looking noticeably brighter, tighter and blemish free. The proof?
