I've been testing my Omnilux Contour LED mask (purchased myself) for 30 days. We'll see before and after images, examine the claims, and see if red light therapy is a scam or actually great skincare.
My thoughts after 30 days: this photobiomodulation device does not work miracles or solve every skin issue I have. For instance: my rosacea did NOT improve. In fact, if anything, it may have gotten worse. I don't think that's due to the mask, but it's important to note the progression, since red light therapy is touted as a treatment for rosacea. But I do feel like I'm beginning to see improvements in skin elasticity under the eyes. We'll see if this development continues in my next update.
Range for red light therapy devices:
Red light: between 610 to 670nm
Near-infrared: between 820 and 850nm for females and between 1000 to 2200nm for males

How does one develop a sense of style? And how can we do it sustainably – both financially and environmentally? By enjoying and creatively using what we already have. By streamlining those things with thoughtful declutters. By developing awareness of how we use our stuff to encourage wiser decisions about the cosmetics, clothing and any other items we purchase. Sounds simple, but it's easier said than done. I've certainly been stumbling my way through it – let's stumble in style together!
