Hi. I want to get recommendations directly from you. What skincare routine do you recommend in connection with using the mask – both before and after treatment? What types of products (for example, cleanser, serum, moisturizer) work best to use with the mask, and are there products I should avoid right before or after use?1 product in post routine87 views- The user's roll: Skin therapist at Lyko. The comment was made 1 dayHey hey 👋 Using an LED mask like the Silk’n LED Face Mask 100 requires a bit of planning around treatments and products to avoid irritation and to get the best possible effect. Here is our recommended skincare routine before and after use, which active ingredients are suitable, and what you should be cautious with. 💓Here are active ingredients / types of products that often work well with LED light, especially after treatment: -Moisturizers & soothing ingredients: Hyaluronic acid, glycerin, panthenol, aloe vera, centella asiatica, ceramides. -Niacinamide: helps with redness, strengthens the skin barrier, can work well together. -Peptides: for anti-aging, collagen support. -Mild exfoliation can be used, but preferably not right before light treatment. ❗Products / ingredients you should be cautious with / avoid right before and immediately after -Strong acids (AHA, BHA, PHA) right before LED use should be avoided — they can make the skin more sensitive, and combined with light can increase the risk of irritation. -Retinoids / retinol / tretinoin should not be applied before the LED mask. If you use such, do it after the light treatment, and introduce them gradually. There are different opinions, but generally safer to use after. (Some users report irritation if they use retinol and LED light too closely together). -Strong peels / mechanical exfoliation right before. Wait until the skin has calmed down. -Products with a lot of oil, heavy balms / creams right before can block the light. Some tips for integrating into a full skincare routine If you use retinol, plan LED treatment on "retinol-free" evenings, or let retinol be the last product step after LED and aftercare is completed. Keep the skin well hydrated and with a good barrier: LED can help, but if the skin is damaged or dry, irritation can occur more easily. Always finish with SPF if you are going out. Even though LED does not "damage" directly like UV, the sun helps worsen aging and pigmentation. Test new active products alone first, before combining with LED, especially with sensitive skin 🙌 You use the mask on clean and dry skin — moisturizing mild serum or cream before treatment. After treatment, you can use serum and/or moisturizer as usual. Frequency of use: At startup about 3-4 times a week for a few weeks, then maintenance (1-2 times a week when you start to see results) 🥰Product tips: lyko.com/no/torriden/torriden-low-molecular-hyaluronic-acid-cleansing-foam-150-ml lyko.com/no/anua/anua-8-hyaluronic-acid-hydrating-gentle-foaming-cleanser-150-ml lyko.com/no/beauty-of-joseon/beauty-of-joseon-calming-serum-green-tea---panthenol-30ml lyko.com/no/beauty-of-joseon/beauty-of-joseon-glow-serum-propolis-niacinamide-30-ml lyko.com/no/vichy/vichy-mineral-89-fortifying-and-plumping lyko.com/no/klairs/klairs-midnight-blue-calming-cream-60ml-60ml lyko.com/no/embryolisse/embryolisse-lait-creme-concentre--30-ml lyko.com/no/beplain/beplain-cicaful-calming-gel-80ml Wishing you a nice day ahead 👋2 likes
