LED Masks: Benefits Beyond Skin Care
LED Masks: Benefits Beyond Skin Care

We all have heard by now about the benefits that the use of LED masks can bring to skin health, including anti-aging, anti-acne and better product penetration. 

Beyond that, there are some specialized face masks that have different objectives. The dpl Eye Mask is known for having red LED and infrared energy. Red energy can be used for pain relief, headaches and migraines. It is also known for stimulating cellular repair and blood circulation.

There are also blue LED masks. They help organize the sleep cycle, as blue light suppresses melatonin production and by that, promoting high energy levels in the morning and to wake up feeling less tired. There are a few brands investing in this technology, like the Neuroon mask and others called Sleep Therapy Mask that promise an easier awakening in the morning.

Some masks come with EEG (electroencephalography, or basically a test on your brain activity) to monitor sleep, track and communicate the obtained information through Bluetooth to its app. In the app it is possible to program the desired awakening time. The light will come on prior so the body will start suppressing the melatonin levels before it is time to get out of bed. The device will also help in the study of the sleep state and pattern. 

The blue LED masks are recommended for people that need help adjusting for jet lag (and can even be used on the plane!), shift work or insomnia. 

These devices can be easily found in many different models and improve your life with ease and are drug-free.
