This comprehensive guide will teach you step-by-step how to get the most out of your red light therapy sessions at home. From preparation to aftercare, everything you need for radiant, healthy skin, right in your living room.

🌿 What is red light therapy and why does it work?

Red light therapy (RLT) is a non-invasive treatment that uses red and near-infrared light. This light penetrates the deeper layers of the skin and stimulates the mitochondria – the powerhouses of your skin cells. This activates repair and renewal processes.

The result is firmer skin with increased elasticity, fewer fine lines, and a more even complexion. It also improves blood circulation, resulting in a healthy glow. Moreover, red light helps reduce inflammation, making it beneficial for acne, rosacea, or irritated skin.

The Lynnora Red Light Therapy Face Mask It's specially designed to bring these benefits to your home. The soft silicone conforms to your face, ensuring even light distribution. Pair it with the Lynnora Red Light Therapy Neck & Decolleté Mask. for a complete treatment from face to neck.

💆♀️ The preparation: give your skin the right start

The way you prepare your skin determines the effect of the red light, so a good start is crucial.

1. Cleanse your skin thoroughly

Make sure your skin is clean before starting your session. Use a gentle, sulfate-free cleanser to remove makeup, dirt, and excess oil. Clean skin allows the light to penetrate more deeply, enhancing its effectiveness.

2. Pat your skin dry

Use a soft towel and avoid rubbing vigorously. You want your skin to be relaxed, not irritated.

3. If necessary, use a hydrating serum

A thin layer of serum with hyaluronic acid or niacinamide helps improve skin's moisture levels and supports the healing process. Apply it before your session so the light can enhance the absorption of the active ingredients.

4. Create peace

Put your phone on silent and make this moment a little ritual. It'll help not only your skin, but also your mind.

✨ During the session: your moment of recovery

Red light therapy is a moment of silence and nurturing. While the mask is working, you don't have to do anything.

• Place the mask comfortably on your face. Make sure it fits snugly all over so the light is evenly distributed.
• Session duration: 10 to 15 minutes is ideal. Longer sessions offer no additional benefit.
• Frequency: Use the mask 3 to 5 times a week. Consistency is more important than intensity.
• Relax consciously: Breathe calmly and focus on the feeling of warmth on your skin. The light helps calm not only your skin but also your nervous system.

🌸 After the session: care and protection

After a session, your skin is extra receptive to care. This is the perfect time to use nourishing products that support the recovery process.

1. Apply a soothing serum.
   Choose ingredients like peptides, ceramides, or aloe vera. They help strengthen the skin barrier and retain moisture.

2. Use a moisturizing cream.
   A light night cream with antioxidants protects against free radicals and stimulates recovery.

3. Avoid aggressive products.
   Leave exfoliants, acids, and retinol alone after your session. Your skin is sensitive and needs rest to recover optimally.

4. Always use SPF during the day.
   Although red light doesn't contain UV, your skin will be more active after the treatment. An SPF protects against pigment spots and aging.

💡 Extra tips for maximum results

• Hydration is key: drink plenty of water every day. Well-hydrated skin regenerates faster.
• Be consistent: you will usually see results after 3 to 6 weeks, depending on your skin type.
• Combine with rest: reduce stress and get enough sleep. Hormonal balance and skin health are closely linked.
• Replace batteries or cables in time: optimal light intensity is essential for best operation.
• Make it a ritual: put on soft music, light a candle and create an atmosphere of calm.

🪞 Common mistakes to avoid

Self-care is only effective if you do it correctly. These mistakes are common:

• Irregular use: Do not skip sessions if you want to maintain results.
• Impure skin: dirt or makeup blocks the light.
• Overuse: More isn't always better; stick to the recommended time.
• Wrong distance: The mask should be close to the skin for even illumination.
• False expectations: red light works gradually. Your skin renews itself in cycles, so give it time.
