A signal of vitality and youth, glowing, radiant skin is at the top of most people's list when it comes to beauty goals. But, as we age, our natural glow is often dulled, with stress, sun exposure and poor sleep all taking their toll.
LED light therapy offers a glow-getting, skin-boosting solution, for skin that glows within, all from the comfort of your home.
What does “glowing skin” really mean?
Smooth, even-toned and hydrated, glowing skin appears to be lit from within, reflecting light with a soft sheen. Think of healthy skin as a mirror—a buildup of non-reflective dead skin cells and an uneven texture and tone dull its shine, making it more difficult to reflect light, resulting in a lacklustre appearance.
Why invest in an LED face mask for glowing skin
Boosting skin health from the inside out, LED therapy is the secret to achieving a luminous, clear complexion, without any clinic appointments or downtime, just at-home self-care sessions.
Wearable devices such as the CurrentBody Skin LED Light Therapy Mask use red light wavelengths to increase the production of ATP (the energy currency of cells). This added energy supercharges cellular function, including natural repair processes, increasing collagen and elastin production, while improving blood flow, nourishing the skin with oxygen and essential nutrients.
The result? Firmer, bouncier skin with a smoother, more even surface and skin tone.
Daily skincare routine for glowing skin
For best light therapy results, begin by carefully cleansing and drying your face before powering on your device to start your relaxing 10-minute session.
For a luxurious self-care moment, incorporate sessions into your evening skincare routine, taking advantage of the fact that your skin's natural regeneration and repair processes happen overnight—a dose of LED therapy fuels cells just when they need the extra energy most.
The bottom line is there isn't a right or wrong time of day to use your device, as long as you’re using it 3 to 5 times a week—consistency is key, so build a routine that suits you.
Tips for glowing skin beyond skincare
Sleep
While you sleep, the body enters a repair state, crucial for skin health. A lack of sleep spikes levels of cortisol, the stress hormone, which can break down collagen, making skin look tired and dull. Aim to get 7 to 9 hours each night for that beauty sleep glow.
Diet
A healthy, nutrient-rich diet is important for maintaining a luminous complexion, providing the building blocks for cells to function and regenerate. While protein intake is needed for collagen and elastin production, healthy fats help strengthen the skin’s barrier, and vitamins and minerals support overall wellbeing.
Water intake
Hydration is important for keeping skin supple and plump, creating a smooth, light-reflecting surface while supporting skin clarity and health. This helps to reduce breakouts and allows your skin's natural radiance to shine.
Your path to naturally glowing skin
Build your own LED therapy routine today to dial up the glow and turn back the clock on ageing, for a natural luminosity that just keeps getting better—no clinic visits required.
