Red Light Mask
1. Start with a clean face: Before using the mask, wash your face thoroughly and pat it dry so the light can work effectively on your skin.
2. Put on the mask: Adjust it so it fits comfortably on your face, and fasten the straps so it doesn't move during the session.
3. Start the session: Press and hold the power button, then choose the light type and duration that suit you. Before your first use, try it on your face for 1 minute and start at level 1–2. Recommended use is 3–4 times a week, 15–25 minutes per session.
4. Relax or get on with your day: You can relax during the session, or carry on with other activities if you like.
5. Retinol, retinoids, exfoliating acids: never on the same day On the day you use the mask, do not use retinol, other retinoids or exfoliating acids (AHA, BHA). These make your skin more sensitive to light, and the light can then cause skin irritation, lasting redness or hyperpigmentation (brownish, darker spots) that may last for weeks or even months. Never apply retinol under the mask.
6. If you use retinol, check with a dermatologist The effect of retinol does not wear off on the day you apply it: your skin stays more sensitive for the whole course. How long you need to wait depends on you: your skin type, the strength of the retinol and how often you use it. For some people one day's break is enough, others need several days. If the break is too short, hyperpigmentation may develop, so let your dermatologist tell you how long a safe break you need between using retinol and the red light face mask. If you use a prescription retinoid (e.g. isotretinoin, tretinoin), use the mask only with your doctor's approval.
7. Skin prone to pigmentation, or darker skin With this skin type there is a higher chance of discoloration. Start at a low level with shorter sessions, and ask your dermatologist first.
8. Sunscreen during the day During the period you use the mask, always wear broad-spectrum sunscreen during the day.
9. If you notice discoloration or lasting redness If you notice spots, discoloration, lasting redness, a burning sensation or itching, stop using it immediately and see a dermatologist.

SkinGlow
Three techniques
- Hydration: with circular movements.
- Better absorption: pressing the head against the skin and gliding it slowly.
- Targeted care: 1–2 seconds on one spot, then move on.
Frequency
1–2 times a week for 10–15 minutes, and you can increase this as your skin gets used to it. Use it on your face, neck and décolletage, with a serum, moisturizer or contact gel, on clean skin.
Cleaning
Wipe it with a dry cloth after every use. Do not soak it or immerse it in water.
When not to use it
During pregnancy and breastfeeding, if you have heart disease, a pacemaker or another implanted electronic device, epilepsy or light sensitivity, on inflamed or broken skin, on areas of a recent cosmetic procedure, and directly around the eyes. Don't look into the light. If your skin is sensitive, start with shorter sessions and test it on a small area first.
