When it comes to beauty advice, Mel B has never been one to mince her words. The Spice Girl has built her public persona on transparency – a trait that earned her best-selling memoir the title Brutally Honest. How very apt.
And in my opinion, her refusal to sugarcoat things makes her skincare recommendations actually trustworthy in an industry flooded with noise, especially when most of us are pretty distrusting of celebrity recommendations.
Looking at her flawless skin and contoured features in pictures from her exclusive photoshoot at her Yorkshire farm with HELLO! in spring this year and from her London wedding to hairdresser Rory McPhee in summer last year, it’s hard to believe that Mel (full name Melanie Brown) is in her 50s.
Unsurprisingly, she openly admits to being a ‘beauty freak’, and has singled out skin-tech brand Project E Beauty as one of her go-tos for keeping her complexion smooth and sculpted at 51-years-old. In particular, the brand’s Derma Roller and Ice Roller.

Low-maintenance but high-impact, Mel B’s go-to ice roller relies on cold therapy to flush out fluid buildup, soften muscle tension and define the contours of the face.
Meanwhile, the handheld micro-needling pen that she loves creates painless micro-tears in the skin to kickstart collagen production, speed up cell turnover and fade hyperpigmentation. Her glow-from-within makes total sense now.
Why you should pair ice rolling and derma rolling with at-home LED therapy
While manual tools like the ice roller and derma roller cover immediate skincare benefits, they should be paired with targeted light therapy to ensure the deep cellular restoration needed for long-term bounce and clarity in your face.
Enter Project E Beauty’s LumaLux Face, an LED mask engineered to surpass all other at-home light therapy devices. Unlike the typically rigid options on the market, it’s a flexible silicone mask that houses 800 high-grade LED chips.
By optimising power density, wavelength accuracy and energy absorption, it delivers concentrated light deep into your dermal matrix. This calms inflammation, smooths fine lines and restores natural radiance in a recommended session length of three minutes per day.
I used it over the span of four weeks and became obsessed. My skin is generally more glowy throughout the day and it just feels amazing
It has hundreds of five star reviews, particularly from midlife women. One said: “I love this product so much! I used it over the span of four weeks and became obsessed. My skin is generally more glowy throughout the day and it just feels amazing!” Others are raving about how “lightweight and portable” it is, which is “perfect for keeping your skincare routine going on holiday.”
The experts agree with its glowing reviews. Dr Kara MBchB MRCGP shared her insights on how LED light therapy actually works on the skin, explaining: “There are numerous studies out there that show the effectiveness of LED to rejuvenate your skin.”
Dr Kara added: “Scientists have known for years that visible light can affect how the cells of your body work. Different wavelengths of light penetrate the skin at different depths. Red penetrates the deepest and work on things called fibroblasts which help us to make more collagen helpful to rejuvenate our appearance.”
