Boncharge Red Light Mask

My 10‑Minute Red Light Reset (Before I Even Get Out of Bed)

There’s this tiny pocket of time in my morning that is sacred to me. Before I even get out of bed, before emails, before anyone needs anything from me, I give my skin and honestly my nervous system, 10 quiet minutes under my Red Light Face Mask.

Most mornings I wake up with some puffiness, a bit of redness, or that “I didn’t sleep like a wellness CEO” face. I used to get up put on my favorite serums and hope for the best. Now, I place my mask on my face while still laying in bed and let the red and near‑infrared light do the work. In those 10 minutes, I can literally feel my face calming down and by the time I get up, my skin looks less inflamed, more even and WAY more awake.

This is the exact mask I use. Enter CANDICE20 for a discount.

Why Red Light Is Part of My Skincare Routine

I think about skincare as supporting the terrain of the skin for energy, inflammation and circulation at a cellular level before layering on products. Red light therapy uses specific wavelengths (red and near‑infrared) that interact with cells in a meaningful way, especially the mitochondria.

The BON CHARGE mask uses 630 nm red light and 850 nm near‑infrared light, chosen because they’re gentle, non‑invasive, and effective for skin rejuvenation.

Mitochondria, Inflammaging and Glowy Skin

Skin aging is really a story of energy and inflammation. Mitochondria are the power plants inside your cells that produce ATP, your cellular energy. When mitochondrial function slows down (from age, stress, poor sleep and environmental exposure), you get less collagen, slower repair and more oxidative stress in the skin.

Red and near‑infrared light can support mitochondrial function and help them produce more ATP, which means better repair, healthier collagen and elastin and more resilient skin over time. At the same time, red light helps calm low‑grade inflammation better known as “inflammaging” the subtle, chronic irritation that makes skin look tired, red and older than it needs to.

For me, that looks like less morning puffiness and a more even, calm tone after just 10 minutes under the mask.

How I Use My Mask

Here’s my real‑life routine:

•I wake up and stay in bed for 10 extra minutes with my Red Light Face Mask on.

•I set the timer for 10 minutes, choose red + near‑infrared, and let it run while I breathe, visualize my day, or simply rest.

•When it shuts off, I take it off, wipe it down and then move into the rest of my skincare.

Using it about 3 times per week has made a noticeable difference in how my skin looks first thing in the morning, less inflamed.
