How to Choose the Right LED Mask for You?
Want to boost your beauty routine with a high-tech touch? While light therapy has long been consigned to beauty salon treatment rooms, you can now benefit from the power of LEDs from the comfort of your own bathroom. Here’s how to choose the right at-home LED mask to suit you and your skin.
What are the benefits of an LED mask?
Each LED mask diffuses different LED colours and wavelengths. These penetrate more or less deeply into the skin and thus differently affect the epidermis, dermis or hypodermis.
-
Blue light primarily penetrates the epidermis, where it works on the skin’s surface layers and helps purify the skin (notably by targeting the bacteria responsible for blemishes).
-
Red light has anti-ageing properties and penetrates the dermis to help stimulate collagen and elastin production.
-
Infrared light penetrates deeper into the skin, reaching the circulatory level to help reduce inflammation and support skin regeneration.
Which are the best LED Masks?
Choosing an LED mask depends on several criteria:
-
The number of available light settings (red, blue, green, etc.)
-
LED power and treatment duration
-
Comfort and adjustability
-
Certifications and user reviews
To help you choose the mask best suited to your needs and skin type, here’s a closer look at the light therapy face masks available from Oh My Cream.
