How to Clean Your LED Face Mask Safely and Effectively

LED light therapy masks are an incredible addition to any skincare routine, offering benefits like reduced acne, improved skin tone, and anti-aging effects. But to keep your mask working at its best—and your skin safe—it’s essential to clean it properly after every use.

Why Cleaning Your LED Face Mask Matters

Over time, oils, sweat, and skincare residue can build up on your mask, leading to potential breakouts or reduced light output. Regular cleaning not only protects your skin but also helps extend the life of your device.

What You'll Need

• Soft microfiber cloth
• Gentle, alcohol-free disinfectant or cleanser
• Cotton pads or swabs
• Distilled water (optional)

Step-by-Step Guide to Cleaning Your LED Mask

1. Unplug and power off: Make sure the mask is completely turned off and unplugged from any charging cable.
2. Wipe the surface: Use a soft microfiber cloth dampened with water or alcohol-free cleanser to wipe the entire surface—especially areas that come into contact with your face.
3. Target crevices: Use cotton swabs to clean small openings or tight spots gently.
4. Let it air dry: Place the mask on a clean, dry surface and let it fully air dry before storing or using it again.

What to Avoid

• Harsh chemicals or alcohol-based cleaners that can damage the LED bulbs or silicone
• Submerging the mask in water
• Using abrasive scrubbers or towels

How Often Should You Clean It?

We recommend wiping down your LED face mask after every use and doing a more thorough clean once a week.
