What is LED?

LED stands for light-emitting diode, and while it might sound high-tech, it’s been around for decades. Originally used by NASA to help plants grow, it’s now a go-to skincare tool in salons and at home. LED light therapy works by using different coloured lights, like red or blue, to help improve the appearance of your complexion and give skin that healthy, lit-from-within glow.

What’s the difference between red light and blue light?

Most LED face masks come with different coloured lights, each targeting the skin in a specific way. Red light is known for promoting a youthful, radiant complexion, while blue light is ideal for younger skin or anyone looking to help control blemishes.

How often can people use LED?

Most LED devices come with pre-set timers and will automatically switch off when the session is complete. For the best results, use the mask alongside your usual skincare routine to maintain healthy-looking, radiant skin.
