I personally never jump to try ANY trends because: 1. Either I don't know much about subject & need time to research first 2. Or I do know a lot & trend makes zero sense 3. Or not much information or long-term data available to form a comprehensive assessment. That makes me want to give trend at least couple of years & watch data come out. ▪︎Rubber bands on ears to depuff faces is just silly & not fully executed. 5 min neck/ear massage is way more effective & correct to open up chest/neck lymph flow passages first to allow fluids to actually drain from face. ▪︎ cold plunging for women & for each individual has sooo many unanswered questions for me - cortisol level spikes when majority of us already are in constant fight or flight mode, effects on hormones, hormonal changes, such coldness effect for dry or sensitive skins, where are studies on reproductive system & such cold & frequent exposure, etc ▪︎ red light face MASKS A. I'm extremely cautious about beauty products especially when it comes to trendy beauty products as i am very aware & very familiar with HUGE percentage of fake beauty products with no science, no technology behind etc. Once a trend pops out, brands jump on it to make a quick $$ selling absolute garbage. B. Red light has amazing extensive benefits for our tissues functions however, specifically masks might not be the right product because of very important nuances. • I don't understand treating just face w/red light & not neck, chest, scalp (crucial areas for full facial beautification to me) • from what I see, majority masks have SAME wavelengths across meaning areas with thin, delicate skin get same intensity as thicker skin areas. Would be either too low for thicker skin areas or too high for thinner, fragile areas. Not desirable either way & light can't diffuse because masks are just too close to skin • real collagen/elastin production boost comes from deeper penetration that most masks don't provide because of low intensity, same w/inflammation. So no serious, real rejuvenation/welness/beautification is possible with most masks, mostly surface level perks. I am personally more interested in deeper work & benefits.
