By now, you’ve probably seen LED light therapy face masks doing the rounds online. But, if you’re yet to encounter these babies, they’re basically one of those horror movie-esque full face masks that look fresh off the set of Paranormal Activity — now re-homed and repackaged for the shelf of your local beauty retailer.
Like all good skincare trends, LED light therapy started as a popular in-salon treatment, something you could only get when you went in for a facial. But in recent years, at-home LED masks have become more affordable (some more so than others) and accessible to skincare-lovers.
LED light therapy involves treating a variety of skin concerns with different coloured light. For example, red and amber lights are said to reduce lines, wrinkles, and inflammation and stimulate collagen production. Blue light is typically used to treat acne and help clear skin. And white light is used to tighten the skin.
When used regularly, LED light therapy has loads of benefits when it comes to replenishing and rejuvenating the skin. It’s also super easy to do from the comfort of your own home. Simply cleanse the skin as usual and pop the mask on for the recommended amount of time. It’s worth noting at-home LED light therapy is a lot less intense than the in-salon stuff, so results will take longer to shine through.
