The 12-Minute Night Rescue Routine for Tired Skin

After long days, your skin needs recovery—fast. This 3-step LED routine combats fatigue-induced breakouts, dullness, and dehydration in just 12 minutes.
The Problem

Night shifts, stress, or late nights spike cortisol, which:
1) Reduces collagen production by 37%.
2) Triggers excess oil.

The Fix
Step 1: Blue Light (460nm) – 4 mins

→ Targets oil glands to prevent clogged pores
→ Use after cleansing (skip toners with acids to avoid irritation)

Step 2: Red Light (660nm) – 4 mins

→ Counters blue light’s dryness by boosting hydration
→ Enhances collagen repair for firmer skin

Step 3: Infrared (850nm) – 4 mins

→ Deepens serum absorption (apply hyaluronic acid beforehand)
→ Reduces next-day puffiness

Pro Hacks:

Gel Upgrade: Use aloe vera gel to prevent moisture loss.
Avoid: Vitamin C before blue light (it degrades under LEDs).
For Extra Tired Skin: Swap red light for yellow (590nm) to soothe redness.
