There’s a reason LED masks feature in so many celebrity selfies.
Over the past few years, LED face masks have become a permanent fixture in the nation’s beauty regimes. Once reserved for celebrity treatments and salon-visits, with the rise of the DIY-wellness movement, professional equipment has found its way into our bathroom cabinets, and rightfully so. With a number of positive benefits for the skin, light therapy is a non-invasive treatment to improve the overall look of your skin.
So what exactly is it? LED light therapy is where the skin is exposed to different wavelengths of light that penetrate deep beneath its surface. Unlike UV light, these rays are actually good for the skin, but their benefits depend on the shade of light emitted by the device, which should be chosen based on skin concern.
It was in the ’90s that it was first discovered for use on the skin, after NASA studied the use of LED light on plant growth in space, and quickly found that it also showed great promise for healing and treating wounds. Soon, it began being more widely used, and the rest – they say – is history.
LED face masks are very easy to use and the more consistent you can be about using them, the better their effect will be upon the skin. Using them every day – for about 10 minutes – is ideal. Since they don’t emit UV light and are non-invasive, they are also very safe to use, so overdoing it isn’t easy. For best results always follow the instructions, and if you do notice irregular signs of damage, stop the use of the mask immediately and consult your doctor or dermatologist.
