Recharging Our Skin (and Soul) in 10 Minutes a Day: The LED Mask Lissom Lives By

There’s something sacred about carving out space for yourself — especially when that space also happens to make your skin glow like you’ve just spent a week at a Malibu retreat. Lately, the Lissom team's favourite ritual happens in the quietest part of the day: post-yoga, post-matcha, pre-emails. It involves zero needles, zero downtime, and one very sleek piece of tech: the Trudermal LED Therapy Mask.

This isn’t your average sheet mask. It’s not even your average LED mask. This is full-spectrum light therapy for your face, décolletage, and back (if you buy both LED sets), designed to bring your skin back into balance with the same precision and care you might expect from a luxury facial — minus the drive, the waitlist, and the post-peel redness.

Why LED? Why Now?

LED (light-emitting diode) therapy is rooted in real science — originally developed by NASA to heal wounds in space. On Earth, we’ve co-opted it to help with more terrestrial concerns: acne, inflammation, fine lines, and that general lackluster complexion that hits after too many late nights or back-to-back Zooms.

What I love about the Trudermal mask is that it combines red, blue, and near-infrared light in targeted wavelengths. That means:

  • Blue light zaps acne-causing bacteria (bye, hormonal chin breakouts).

  • Red light stimulates collagen, softens lines, and restores elasticity.

  • Near-infrared goes deeper, soothing inflammation and supporting long-term skin rejuvenation.

Incorporating this into Your Nightly Ritual

"It’s become a non-negotiable part of my evening wind-down. I slip into something soft — a robe I can only describe as “cloudcore” — and place the mask over my face (or drape the other LED Mask across my chest or back, depending on what my skin is asking for that day). I press start, and for 10 minutes, I let the light do its thing while I listen to binaural beats or scroll through Far North NZ real estate I will never buy.

"There’s no heat, no discomfort, and no redness afterward. Just a kind of post-light clarity — both in my skin and my mood."

- Natasha, Lissom Team

Results You Can See — and Feel

After a few weeks, you would notice the shift. Skin should feel calmer. Clearer. More lifted. The little lines around your mouth aren't gone, but they look softer — as though you have slept well, drank water, and made peace with your twenties. Your chest, which tends to get blotchy after workouts, looks more even-toned. Your back — the final frontier of skincare — should start behaving like it belonged to someone who never skips body care.

A Worthy Investment in Your Rituals

The Trudermal LED Therapy Mask isn’t cheap, at $689. But like a perfectly cut blazer or a week at a silent retreat, it pays off in dividends. It’s high-performance self-care. The kind you actually look forward to. The kind that fits seamlessly into your daily rhythm without disrupting it.

Because in a world that asks you to go faster, harder, and brighter — this is your permission to pause. To sit still. To bathe in the kind of light that heals, lifts, and restores. One LED at a time.
