I have been using a LED Mask for almost four years. I mean, tell me you have been following GoalstoGetGlowing for fours without telling me. She is the LED Queen and did a PhD level dissertation on why LED masks are beneficial & which ones she liked before they were popularized.
LED light can help stimulate cell renewal and improve blood circulation, helping to increase skin brightness, reduce dark circles, and minimize the look of pores and blemishes. I don’t understand the science behind it, but I also know it can help reduce inflammation.
I bought my first LED mask (Light Salon) the February after my dad died because I had my face eczema was flaring so much from crying for basically 5 months straight. It was SO inflamed. LED helps with inflammation so I noticed that with both my eyelid eczema and cystic acne, it would help with inflammation, itchiness and pain.
Then Currentbody gifted me their Series 1 (their only mask at the time), and I LOVED it. It is the same as the Light Salon, but the straps fit my head better. I started using it regularly at night. I would wash my face, apply a hydrating serum, and then do two rounds of ten minutes. Sometimes, I would multitask; other times, I would just lay there and enjoy the peace.
I do so much to my skin that I look the youngest I have looked in probably ten years – so I cannot claim it is all LED. However, it makes a big difference in my glow and firmness.
Currentbody recently came out with their newest LED mask – the Series 2. It is made from more flexible silicone, so it fits even better than its original, comes with more lights, and has two comfortable straps that attach to the back of your head for the best fit. It also has a clip-on adapter that you can clip on and wear around the house – although I do not recommend getting dressed with it on. I did that one day, and my socks were mismatched. There has not been a discount deeper than 10%, but from now until the beginning of December, you can get 20% off the Series 2 or 20% off the Series 1.
Some people have even had luck submitting for reimbursement through HSA or FSA since LED is covered. You can click here for how to submit through HSA or FSA, but if you end up buying you will need to use our promo code SISTER to get the 20% off (through December 2) or 10% off at any other time. I would advise to only use your FSA (use it or lose it every year) to buy this mask. If you have a HSA, you can carry that with you for the rest of your life! We always max it out every year and invest it, so we can use it when we are retired. Although, we do have to dip in every once in a while if we have a big health expense. But try to keep it maxed out while we are younger.
I like to use a hydrating serum under my LED mask to really amp up the instant results — whenever I use a hydrating serum my skin feels more plumped right afterwards. Even if it is not the LED, it makes me FEEL like it is the LED, so its enough dopamine to keep me using it regularly. Plus, it really helps with hydration.
If you have any other type of inflammation, like eczema or perioal dermatitis, it can also help reduce redness, inflammation and itchiness! I always use it on my eyelid eczema every year and any time Rebecca has a bad flare up.
