Hydration: The Secret Amplifier of Your LED Therapy Glow

Hydration: The Secret Amplifier of Your LED Therapy Glow

Your glow begins with light — but it thrives on hydration.

When your skin is well-hydrated, it becomes more receptive to the wavelengths of red-light therapy. The light penetrates more evenly, allowing your skin cells to absorb energy more efficiently — boosting collagen production, improving texture, and enhancing that luminous Glowskeēn finish you love.

Dehydrated skin, on the other hand, can act like a dull filter — diffusing the light instead of letting it reach the deeper layers where the magic happens. That’s why hydration is not just skincare; it’s light-care.

How to Prep Your Skin Before Each LED Session

1. Cleanse gently – remove oils, SPF, or makeup so light can reach your skin directly.

2. Apply a hydrating serum or mist – hyaluronic acid, peptides, or aloe-based toners help boost moisture.

3. Lock it in – finish with a light moisturizer to seal hydration before putting on your Glowskeēn LED mask.

4. Stay hydrated internally – aim for at least 2 liters of water per day, especially before your session.

After Your Session

LED therapy can slightly increase skin temperature, encouraging micro-circulation and product absorption — this is the perfect moment to nourish your skin with hydrating ingredients and a calm, mindful skincare ritual.

Pro tip: Pair your mask sessions with a hydrating mist or cooling jade roller right after. Your skin will thank you with a firmer, dewier, more radiant glow.
