LED Mask Colors Explained: What Each Light Is For
Most at-home LED masks offer more than one light color. Each color is used for a different goal in a skincare routine. Here is a simple guide to the 7 colors on the Dermalumae™ LED face and neck mask, and how people usually choose between them.
Red: the classic anti-aging light
Red is the color most people start with. It is the go-to light for skin that looks firmer and more youthful, with softer-looking fine lines and a revitalized glow. If you only use one color, this is usually it.
Blue: for blemish-prone and oily skin
Blue light is the favorite for blemish-prone and oily skin. People use it for a clearer-looking complexion, smaller-looking pores and calmer-looking skin.
Purple: red and blue together
Purple combines red and blue. It suits anyone who wants anti-aging and blemish care in the same session, for smoother, clearer-looking skin.
Green: for a more even-looking tone
Green is chosen for a more even-looking skin tone and less visible dark spots. Many people also like it as a calming moment at the end of the day.
Yellow: for a brighter glow
Yellow is used for a brighter, more radiant look, a more even-looking tone and less visible redness.
Cyan: for calmer-looking skin
Cyan is a cool, soothing light for skin that looks calmer, with less visible redness and a smoother-looking texture.
White: the all-round refresh
White is the all-round option, for firmer-looking skin, a more even-looking tone and a fresher look overall.
How to choose your color
- Visible signs of aging, fine lines, firmness: red, or purple if you also have blemishes.
- Blemish-prone or oily skin: blue or purple.
- Uneven tone, dull skin: green or yellow.
- Redness, a calmer look: cyan.
- Not sure: start with red, then try the others.
