LED Mask is no longer a stranger to us. It is now easier to spot LED masks both online and offline and now more and more people are curious about the effect of the product. Now that we are more familiar with the idea of LED mask,  now we are starting to ask the question "what is the best serum to use with LED mask?", "how can we maximize the LED light skincare with skincare products that we own?".

Different colors of LED light is meant to target different skin concerns of the skin. To enjoy the LED light therapy to the most, it is said to be best to use LED mask on bare face before applying any thick skincare products onto the skin (or with just the lightest layer of hydration to keep skin hydrated). Without any serum or cream barrier blocking the skin, the light will be able to travel into the deeper layer of the skin. Yet, as different colors have different effects on the skin, if you pair those colors with the right skincare products after LED therapy, you’ll be able to maximize the skincare effect that you look forward to experience.

There is an ingredient that comes across our mind when we think of 'orange'; Vitamin C. We know that Vitamin C is an effective ingredient for brightening and just like the skincare ingredient, the color orange on the LED light is designed to target dull skin when used for a long period of time. Thus pairing the orange light with your favorite Vitamin C serum will be the best way to maximize the brightening effect that you look forward to enjoy.
