Did you know that UV rays account for over 80% of skin ageing?

The sun is undeniably therapeutic, and many modern-day ailments can be traced back to a lack of sunshine. However, that doesn’t mean we should bask in the sun unprotected and risk burning. Instead, allow the sun to touch your skin and eyes for a few minutes daily, but be mindful of overexposure. If avoiding prolonged sun exposure isn’t possible, wearing broad-spectrum mineral sunscreen, protective clothing, and sunglasses is essential. Opt for mineral sunscreens containing zinc oxide or titanium dioxide, as they are far safer than those containing oxybenzone. Additionally, using skincare products and treatments that support and strengthen the skin against UV damage is key.

Beyond UV exposure, heightened stress levels and excessive screen time can also lead to increased skin inflammation.

So, before you book your flights to Ibiza or start compiling your holiday reading list, here are some essential summer skincare adjustments to keep in mind.

WHAT DOES SUN DAMAGE MEAN FOR YOUR SKIN?

Sun damage manifests in many ways, including:

• Dark spots

• Melasma

• Pigmentation

• Keratosis

• Wrinkles

• A ‘leathery’ texture

• Cold sores

• Acne flare-ups

• Increased skin sensitivity

HOW TO PROTECT YOUR SKIN FROM THE SUN

The most damaging rays from the sun are UVA and UVB.

• UVA rays penetrate deep into the skin, causing pigmentation and wrinkles.

• UVB rays affect the epidermis (top layer), leading to tanning, sunburn, and redness.

Start your morning skincare routine with:

• Vitamin C serum on cleansed skin to stimulate collagen production and neutralise free radicals.

• Broad-spectrum SPF 50+ to shield against both UVA and UVB rays—an absolute must for prolonged sun exposure.

THE SOLUTION FOR SUN-DAMAGED SKIN, WRINKLES & FINE LINES

Wrinkles are inevitable, but they don’t have to be permanent. The key to minimising and softening fine lines? LED light therapy. The world of skincare can be overwhelming, but as LED experts, we simplify it for you.

Our LED GLOW Mask uses clinically proven wavelengths of:

• Red 633nm light and Near-Infrared 830nm light, both of which actively support the skin’s ageing process.

Unlike UV light, red and near-infrared light won’t tan or damage the skin. Instead, LED therapy penetrates different skin layers, stimulating cellular activity and increasing blood supply to the skin’s surface.

More blood flow means more oxygen and nutrients, encouraging fibroblast and collagen production—essential for repairing and preventing skin concerns.

Just 10 minutes, 3-5 times a week, can deliver visible results:

• Increased plumpness

• Enhanced radiance

• Reduced acne, pigmentation, and inflammation

INCREDIBLE SKIN IMPROVEMENTS WITH CONSISTENT USE

A clinical study involving over 100 participants using LED therapy for 10 minutes, 3 times a week for 4 weeks reported:

• 95% saw improvements in texture, firmness, and skin tone.

• 95% noticed brighter, plumper skin with reduced fine lines, wrinkles, redness, and irritation.

LOVED BY A-LISTERS

LED light therapy has earned its place in the skincare routines of celebrities like Chrissy Teigen, Victoria Beckham, and Kim Kardashian—for good reason. It helps:

• Repair sun damage

• Boost collagen production

• Even out skin tone and texture

• Reduce inflammation

Beyond the visible benefits, LED therapy is also known to calm the mind, body, and soul. It triggers cellular and circulatory responses that:

• Lower cortisol (the stress hormone)

• Boost serotonin and dopamine levels—your ‘happy hormones’

No wonder it’s affectionately called the ‘Happy Light’!

So, whether you’re looking to reverse sun damage or simply elevate your skincare game, LED therapy is the game-changer your routine needs.

CLINICAL STUDIES

The use for Red 633nm and Near Infrared 830nm at optimised modalities, as used in our LED Glow Mask, is backed by over 30 published, peer reviewed clinical studies that validate our technology and support our clinical claims and safety information.
