The Skin Secrets of the 1%: A Deep Dive into Red Light, Blue Light & Cellular Beauty

Video Description

Red light masks, infrared saunas, PEMF mats… they’re everywhere right now — but what actually works, and what’s just expensive decor? In this episode, I sit down with BON CHARGE founders Katie and Andy Mant to break down the science behind light, frequencies, and at-home devices so you can stop guessing and start using them properly for your skin, sleep, and nervous system. We get into: ✨ Red vs near infrared vs far infrared: what each one does, and which you actually need ✨ Why most “infrared saunas” aren’t red light therapy (and what they’re still good for) ✨ The #1 mistake with at-home LED masks: irradiance, distance & treatment time ✨ How to tell if your mask is strong enough to do anything ✨ Blue light: how overhead LEDs, screens & phones are aging your skin, drying it out, and wrecking your sleep ✨ Exactly when to use red vs near infrared light during the day (and why timing matters for your circadian rhythm) ✨ Skincare order: do you apply products before or after red light? ✨ Why BON CHARGE removed blue light from their mask - and how red light alone can still help with acne ✨ PEMF 101: what pulsed electromagnetic fields are, how they relate to grounding, and why certain frequencies calm you while others focus you ✨ How habit-stacking (like using your mask during meditation) makes consistency effortless ✨ Cellular health, biohacking wearables, and the future of at-home beauty & longevity tech You’ll learn: how to choose devices that actually work, use them without disrupting your body clock, and build simple daily rituals that support clearer skin, deeper sleep, and a calmer nervous system.
