It glows!
Truthfully, I didn't think there was a beauty treatment that warranted an Instagram post or even a Snapchat pic more than a sheet mask until I saw Kourtney Kardashian's latest selfie. You may recall the below from your morning scroll through your feed. Yes, that's Kourtney wearing a glowing mask that probably freaked you out at first glance — or maybe, you just thought it looked insanely similar to the Friday the 13th Halloween costume your little brother wore back in the fourth grade.
From what we can tell, though we don't have 100 percent confirmation, Kourtney wearing a LED light therapy mask.
What exactly is that contraption, you ask? According to Adriana Martino, founder of NYC's SKINNEY Medspa which offers LED treatment, it's a machine that uses colored LED lights to penetrate under the surface of the skin and address different concerns.
Blue light is used for fighting acne and killing bacteria on the surface of the skin, Adriana tells me of the machine she offers in her salon. She also says that blue light will help reduce oil production over time.
Red light, however, is your anti-aging sweet spot, as it helps promote collagen and elastic production. Finally, our expert says that the yellow light used is to promote circulation and diffuse redness.
"You can have this treatment before a big night out to help your skin glow, or if you have an emergency breakout, this mask is perfect," she says.
While we're not sure what Kourtney is wearing her mask for or even how often she tests out this particular treatment, we do have to say, her skin always look stellar. We'll be keeping an eye on Kourtney's Instagram for even more skin care secrets. Maybe she'll give us the deets on what else she does to get that glow.
