How to Clean Your LED Face Mask (and What Not to Use), According to Experts
Ready to ensure your light therapy tool is sanitary?
- Power down and unplug your face mask.
- Check the manufacturer’s instructions first, since some LED devices can be damaged by alcohol or by excess moisture. If the brand says it’s safe to proceed, then continue reading.
- If the brand approves alcohol, wipe down the device and wait for it to dry completely before using or storing. Alcohol concentrations between 60 and 95% are generally more effective against germs than lower percentages.
- Let the device dry off and use it or store it in the accompanying storage bag in a cool, dry place.
Following these simple tips will help maintain your device for years to come. And if you’re tempted to try other cleaning methods like baby wipes, they can be used, but they often contain skin-irritating preservatives, so avoids them. You should also avoid harsh cleaners, including bleach, that can degrade the material and cause skin irritation.
