We’re officially in the New Year, and though certain resolutions (read: finally signing up for that high-intensity workout class you’ve been eyeing) have gone by the wayside, others — like the goal of attaining healthier skin — are still very much top of mind. 2025, after all, is your year of firmness, hydration, and other coveted indicators of thriving skin, but sometimes it’s quite a challenge to know just where to begin.

Enter: Omnilux, an industry leader in medical-grade LED light therapy and some of the best skin care tools in the game, which you don’t have to go to the dermatologist’s office to take advantage of. The brand’s at-home treatments are nonetheless beloved by skin professionals. “Their devices are not only research-backed, but are also rigorously tested to ensure safety, which for me is huge when recommending devices,” Houston-based board-certified dermatologist Dr. Andrea Suarez told WWD for a previous story.

Our beauty editors are also fans of Omnilux’s offerings, after giving its roster of products — including the Contour Face Red Light Therapy Mask that’s been used by celebs like Mindy Kaling and Kim Kardashian — a thorough test and a subsequent seal of approval. The Contour mask might be a highlight for Omnilux, but the brand also offers heaps of other devices and topicals to get your skin to envy-inspiring levels. This includes a Contour device specific to the neck and décolleté regions, for instance; the Contour Glove for hand care and the alleviation of joint pain; the LED Essentials Bundle, packed with Omnilux’s Enzyme Powder Cleanser, Hyaluronic Acid Serum, and Peptide Concentrate for optimized anti-aging results; the CoQ10 Face Cream; and more. Whatever your skin’s need is at the moment, there’s a great chance Omnilux has something for it.

1. Prep Your Skin

Those who aren’t familiar with LED face masks quite yet need to know one important thing: It’s absolutely essential to cleanse your face before putting on the device.

Luckily, Omnilux has just the product for this kind of prep: its Enzyme Powder Cleanser, which is meant to provide a kind of carte blanche for the brand’s red light treatment by gently exfoliating away dead skin cells. This cleanser — packed as it is with ingredients like betaine and papain enzymes, antioxidant-rich green tea leaf, and rice powder — also comes with the added bonuses of brightening the complexion and homogenizing skin texture whilst improving it. On days when you’re not planning on turning on your LED face mask, the Enzyme Powder Cleanser is also safe to use on its own, as a means of revitalizing dull-looking skin.

2. Power Up Your LED Treatment, With the Help of a Face Serum

Another pre-face mask step to implement in your LED-fueled skin care routine is the application of certain face serums that target skin concerns specific to you. Omnilux’s lineup of topicals is extensive, but many products are geared towards post-LED nourishment. These should thus be saved for later in the process; however, Omnilux’s Hyaluronic Acid Serum is friendly to apply after cleansing and before you mask.

This serum is the definition of a well-rounded topical: boasting a colloquial resume that includes locking in moisture, plumping skin, and calming redness as well as other markers of irritation. It does its job via deeply penetrating hyaluronic acid, of course, but also niacinamide, green tea leaf, and licorice root — ultimately serving as a lifesaver for anyone with skin on the dryer side. To achieve maximum hydration (with a dewy look to match!) and ensure your impending light treatment can do its job most effectively, use it as a layer under the LED mask.

When your skin is, at last, cleansed and hydrated and shining, the time comes to bring out the big guns. In this case, it’s Omnilux’s core set of face masks, each of which specializes in a specific area of the body or else addresses a particular skin issue. The brand’s Contour line, for example, intervenes with telltale signifiers of aging, like wrinkles and fine lines, while fighting inflammation and supplying all-around rejuvenation. The Omnilux Clear is an option geared towards acne: helping clear breakouts and reduce blemishes while simultaneously kicking scarring to the curb. There’s also a distinct Omnilux Men face mask, which tackles issues specific to that demographic (like irritation and redness due to shaving).

To create the perfect atmosphere for your impending red light therapy, consider making it an act of guilt-free self care — brewing a pot of your favorite tea, grabbing a book, or queuing up those TV show episodes you haven’t had time to catch up on. Wearing the mask while doing household chores (which is totally realistic thanks to the Omnilux mask’s hands-free nature, malleable silicone material, and face-hugging fit) will turn those obligations into indulgent “me time.” Case in point: Twice a week, our Senior Beauty and Lifestyle Commerce Editor, Claire Sullivan, puts on her Omnilux Contour Face Red Light Therapy Mask and proceeds to fold laundry.

Note that most Omnilux masks require the following formula in order to witness lasting results: three to five 10-minute treatments per week, for a duration of four to six weeks. If you want to get more nitty-gritty with your red light therapy by venturing beyond the face, add on Omnilux’s aforementioned devices for hands and the neck-slash-décolleté — areas which commonly exhibit indicators of aging.

3. Nourish & Protect Your Skin Post-treatment

While you might think your at-home red light routine is over as soon as that mask has been taken off, this is far from the truth. In fact, a key post-treatment step need to happen to ensure the benefits you’ve just received stay for the long run. The Peptide Concentrate, gentle on all skin types, should surely be included in this last stage, as it is a superstar in the firming department and works to seal in your complexion’s newfound moisture after it’s reaped all available LED-related benefits. This topical also increases collagen production to promote anti-aging, swapping fine lines and wrinkles for buoyant elasticity — the very mission of the LED face mask that came before it!

Don’t want your Omnilux routine to end just yet? We’re right there with you, so here are some additional steps you can take to make your skin the definition of flawless.

Extra Treatments to Add to Your Omnilux Lineup

Want your red light rituals’ level of personalization to go even further than add-on masks from Omnilux? Become an overachiever by buying the brand’s mini devices — also operating by virtue of wavelength emissions but meant to be used on a smaller section of your face. For those who constantly battle eye bags (not designer, unfortunately) and dark circles due to fatigue, Omnilux’s Mini Eye Brightener is a fool-proof solution. This tiny-but-mighty device comes with 14 single-use hydrocolloid patches, infused with targeted skin care ingredients, on which to stick it securely in place before letting the tool do its thing.

Alternatively, those of us who are prone to waking up with breakouts — be they period-related, travel-induced, or caused by some secret third thing — are sure to reap rewards from the Mini Blemish Eraser. It uses red and blue LED light therapy to reduce the appearance of such inconveniences while calming overall facial redness. Included in the purchase are also 14 single-use hydrocolloid patches, which are turbocharged by salicylic acid that works in conjunction with the light therapy to clear blocked pores and wave acne goodbye. Given these devices’ petite nature, they’re ideal for taking on trips to ensure your skin is ready for all the photos.

As for add-on topicals, let us introduce you to the CoQ10 Face Cream: a lightweight formula meant to be massaged onto your neck, face, and chest for wrinkle reduction and the restoration of the skin barrier (essential for healthy, balanced skin). Those looking for something even more specialized can follow up this face cream with the Antioxidant Eye Cream, which works wonders by locking in moisture around the eye area (via avocado oil and apricot kernel oil) while doing the double duty of depuffing and smoothing over wrinkles.

If you’re a morning person and love to get your 10-minute treatments in before running off to work or a pilates class, sunscreen becomes an unmissable essential. And not just any SPF product, but Omnilux’s own Mineral Facial Sunscreen. With an SPF of 50+, it also moisturizes and is kind to sensitive skin types. Just like the brand’s other topicals, it advances the LED treatments’ anti-aging magic, which is not something a lot of sun protectants can say for themselves.

Once all this is applied to your face, you’ll be glowing and ready to seize the day in no time. Thank us later.
