Aesthetics Treatments, Waltham Abbey, Essex



Hey dolls!

As a busy mum and a lover of all things fabulous, I know how tough it can be to find time for ourselves. Between school runs, work, managing the household, the day just seem to fly by, don’t they? But that doesn’t mean we should our skin suffer. Enter the LED face mask - a little luxury that promises big results. Let’s dive into this glow trending and see if it’s worth adding to our self-care routine.


What are LED Masks?

You’ve probably seen this futuristic-looking masks all over Instagram. Celebs and influencers swear by them and they’ve become a must-have in the skincare world. But what exactly are they? LED face masks use different wavelengths of light to target various skin concerns. As the wavelength increases, so does its depth, meaning the skin absorbs more light further into its layers. From acne to wrinkles, these masks do it all. The most popular types are red light and blue light therapies. Today, we’ll focus on red light therapy and its magic!


The Science Behind The Glow

Red light therapy works by penetrating the skin at a deeper level, stimulating collagen production and increasing blood flow. This helps to do 3 key things:

  1. Reduce fine lines and wrinkles - by boosting collagen, your skin becomes plumper and smoother. So say goodbye to those pesky crow’s feet!

  2. Improve skin tone and texture - the increased blood flow helps to rejuvenate your skin, giving you a radiant, even complexion.

  3. Accelerate healing - if you’ve got blemishes or suffer from redness, red light can help to calm and heal your skin faster.


So, Is It Worth The Investment?

LED face masks can range from affordable to downright extravagant. Are they worth it? Here are a few points to consider:

  1. Consistency is key - like with any skincare treatment, consistency is crucial. Using the mask regularly will give you the best results. I recommend using it once or twice a week for 10-15 minutes but no more than four times a week.

  2. At home convenience - with a hectic schedule, I know it’s not always possible visiting a clinic. A LED mask will let you pamper yourself in the comfort of your home - perfect for a little me-time after the kids are in bed.

  3. Long term investment - while the upfront cost may seem high, consider it a long-term investment for your skin and potentially save you money in the long run!


How to Use It

Using a LED face mask is super easy! Here’s a quick guide:

  1. Cleanse - start with a clean, dry face by removing all makeup and impurities

  2. Put the mask on - place the mask on your face, making sure it fits snugly

  3. Relax - turn it on and relax for the recommended time (10-15 minutes).

  4. Follow up - after the session, apply your favourite serums and moisturisers. Your skin will absorb them better after the treatment.


The Verdict

If you’re looking for a convenient way to maintain and boost your skincare routine, then I think it’s worth it! it’s a fantastic tool to help keep your skin youthful and radiant. Plus, every busy person deserves that “me” time! Remember, taking care of yourself isn’t just about looking good, it’s about feeling good too! And you, honey, deserve to glow!
