How to get glowing skin with an LED face mask

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 professional-level, glow-getting solution, boosting skin health one treatment at a time for skin that glows within, all from the comfort of your home.

What goes “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 and resulting in a dull, 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 healing and 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.

If spots are standing in the way of smoother skin, look no further than blue light therapy. Clinically proven to eliminate blemish-causing bacteria and calm inflammation, blue light helps to reduce breakouts for clearer, smoother, healthier skin. 

The CurrentBody Skin LED Blue Light Therapy Mask combines both blue and red wavelengths, for even more powerful skin-boosting treatments, while the LED Multi Light Therapy Mask also uses brightening yellow (590nm) and calming green (532nm) wavelengths to power 5 treatment modes for personalised sessions.

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 treatment. To accelerate results, prepare your skin with a few drops of the CurrentBody Skin Green Tea Serum, rich in antioxidants and shown to boost the effectiveness of LED therapy.

For a luxurious self-care moment, incorporate your treatment into your night skincare routine for glowing skin, taking advantage of the fact that your skin's natural regeneration and repair processes happen overnight, so a dose of LED therapy fuels cells just when they need the extra energy most. Pair your treatment with a Hydrogel Face Mask to take your treatment to the next level by deeply hydrating cells, revealing plump, pillowy, light-reflecting skin.

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 and lead to inflammation, 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 help to calm inflammation and support overall skin health.

Water intake

Hydration is important for keeping skin supple and plump. This helps to create a smooth, light-reflecting surface while supporting skin clarity and health, reducing breakouts and inflammation, and allowing 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.
