Here’s something to glow about, a list of some of our favorite red light therapy perks. Red Light is a safe way to absorb the rejuvenating light of the sun, without the harmful UV rays.
Fine Lines and Wrinkles: Red Light Therapy may help to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines on the neck and chest.(2)
Skin Tone and Texture: Red Light Therapy may aid with skin tone and texture, potentially reducing the appearance of sunspots and other discolorations.(3)
Hydration: Red Light Therapy has been shown to increase skin hydration, which may help combat dryness and flakiness.(4)
Inflammation: Red Light Therapy may have some anti-inflammatory properties, which can help reduce redness, irritation, and swelling.(5)
Circulation: Red Light Therapy can aid in a temporary increase of blood flow to the skin, which may help deliver nutrients and oxygen to the cells.(6)
Sessions of 10-20 minutes, 3-4x weekly produce optimal results, with no negative side effects. Our modern lifestyle habits (hours indoors and layers of sunscreen) have made most of us Red Light deficient. This mask is an effortless way to get a healthy, daily dose of the sun’s healing rays.
