Chances are you’ve heard of a celebrity or facialist rave about the amazing affects of light therapy. So what is it?

Red light is good for fine lines and wrinkles by increasing the production of collagen and elastin. (Scroll down to read about all the different light colours, including blue for acne!)

Within a few weeks, I noticed my skin was brighter and more even coloured. It no longer looked dull and had a nice glow to it.
