Salt & Light Wellness

Do you know what's not a health fad?

Light.

Light is the original nutrient.

Moderate sun exposure can be GREAT for you. But TOO MUCH sun (along with wearing sunglasses and consuming seed oils) is not!

Here are 5 ways that Red Light Therapy HEALS your skin:

1️⃣Boosts collagen production. Red light (especially around 630–670 nm) stimulates fibroblasts, the cells that make collagen. More collagen can soften fine lines, improve skin firmness, and reduce the leathery appearance associated with sun damage.

2️⃣Improves skin texture. As collagen and elastin production increase, rough, weathered skin often becomes smoother over time.

3️⃣Reduces inflammation. Damaged skin is in a low-grade inflammatory state. Red light has been shown to reduce inflammatory signaling, which may help calm redness and support healing.

4️⃣Speeds tissue repair. Red light increases cellular energy production (ATP) in the mitochondria, giving skin cells more energy to repair and regenerate.

5️⃣Improves circulation. Better blood flow brings oxygen and nutrients to the skin while helping remove metabolic waste, creating a better environment for repair.

BONUS: May help fade mild pigmentation. While it's not a primary treatment for sunspots, healthier skin turnover and reduced inflammation can gradually improve overall skin tone for some people.
