My morning routine goes like this: I get out of bed, take a shot of the liquid probiotic Symprove, make a hot water with lemon, ginger, and a pinch of salt to aid hydration, then pop on my CurrentBody Series 2 LED Mask. That final bit makes me look marginally mad, but I persist irrespective of the way it looks for two reasons: it makes my skin clearer and calmer, and it really lifts my mood, hence putting it on in the morning when grey winter can make the lure of returning to the duvet is hard to resist.

Apparently, I’m not the only red light therapy fan. In a study conducted by Bon Charge, purveyors of many red light devices SUCH AS, over 7,000 adults were surveyed globally, with over a fifth of those from the UK saying they use red light therapy. This is defined as low-energy red light beams used to stimulate the mitochondria within cells, with quite a substantial 46 per cent of those under 35, like me, regularly enjoying a session.

One of the great things about red light therapy is that it isn’t only instantly gratifying in the short term, it has long-term benefits too – more on which to come – with a diverse offering of applications. If you don’t want a mask, get a panel instead, if you don’t want to use it on your face, try one made for specific parts of your body, or a more general all-over version.

However you apply it, here’s what you can expect to get out of a session (with results of course cumulating with regular use): an increase in blood flow, a reduction of inflammation, an improvement in skin conditions from acne to eczema to psoriasis, less joint pain, and absolutely zero damage because, unlike sunlight, this doesn’t contain any rays that will harm the skin.
