**Esthetician Tip:** Consistency beats intensity. Ten minutes, four to five times a week, does more than an occasional long session.

Red light therapy masks have moved from clinic treatment rooms into bathrooms. This is a sample article showing the News template — replace it with your own content.

## How Red Light Works on Skin

Red (630–660nm) and near-infrared (810–850nm) light are absorbed by cells in the skin, where they support energy production and collagen activity.

- Red light: surface texture and tone
- Near-infrared: deeper support for firmness

## How to Use a Mask Safely

Start on clean, dry skin, follow the manufacturer's session time, and protect your eyes if the device recommends it.
