While I’m OK with the increasing wrinkles and crow’s feet that come with age, the signs of years of sun damage sprinkled across my face really bother me.

Every time I look in the mirror, the blotches and brown spots remind me of how I failed to apply sunscreen for a decade—not to mention the skin cancer scare I dealt with a couple of years ago.

My wife (a beauty editor) has “prescribed” me a pared-down skincare routine, which has helped fade some of the spots.

I’m not bothered by the damage enough to pay hundreds of dollars for lasers or other in-office treatments, so when I heard about the Omnilux Men red light therapy mask , I figured it was the next best thing to seeing a dermatologist.

The Omnilux Men LED Light Therapy Mask is engineered specifically for men’s skin.

According to the brand, men’s skin is about 25 percent thicker than women’s.

So the Omnilux Men LED Light Therapy Mask uses the deepest-penetrating near-infrared wavelength.

Along with fading sunspots and pigmentation, Omnilux says the mask can also help soften wrinkles, de-puff eye bags, and even address sagging skin.

While erasing my sun damage was my primary concern, I was eager to see if the mask could combat the crow’s feet violently lashing out from the corners of my eyes and betraying my boyish charm.

The Omnilux Men Mask uses medical-grade light therapy (red and near-infrared), which helps improve the skin through a process called “Photobiomodulation.” It’s what happens when a non-thermal form of light is absorbed into the skin and triggers change at the cellular level.

This, in turn, helps boost collagen and elastin production, resulting in firmer, brighter, smoother skin.

LED light therapy has been studied for decades, peer-reviewed, and proven to actually work.
