From masks worn before bedtime to infrared-surrounded workouts, red light therapy has been dominating the beauty space thanks to its anti-ageing benefits.
Red Light Showerhead Filter, Higherdose
What it is: A 10-stage showerhead filter that combines cleaner water with red and near-infrared light for healthier-looking hair and a happier scalp.
How it works: The filter helps reduce chlorine, heavy metals, microplastics and mineral residue from the water, limiting exposure to irritants that can contribute to dull, dry hair. The red and near-infrared light is the real point of difference: it helps energise underperforming follicles, encouraging those stuck in the resting phase back into active growth to support longer, stronger-looking hair over time.
How to use it: Install it in place of your existing showerhead, which takes no more than 10 minutes and requires no plumbing experience. Once fitted, shower as usual and use the remote to choose a 5, 10 or 15-minute red light session.
MOJEH verdict: We used it on hair-wash days and found it to be a surprisingly soothing way to switch off. After four weeks of use, our hair felt stronger and looked shinier. Shop now
Red Light Therapy Pro Panel, Kala
What it is: A high-output red and near-infrared light panel to help sore muscles recover faster.
How it works: Red and near-infrared light reaches the mitochondria, where ATP, the body’s cellular fuel, is made. When cells are fatigued, nitric oxide can interrupt that process. Red light therapy helps clear the blockage, allowing cells to produce ATP more efficiently to support swifter muscle recovery.
How to use it: Aim for 10-minute sessions, sitting or standing six to 12 inches from the panel. For sore or stiff spots, Kala recommends 15 to 20 minutes.
MOJEH verdict: We used it three to five times a week after workouts, focusing on legs and lower back. Although slightly uncomfortable to use, by week four, the usual post-Pilates ache had softened, and stiffness felt shorter-lived. Shop now
CryoGlow LED Mask, Shark Beauty
What it is: A full-face LED mask that combines red, blue and infrared light with under-eye cooling for clearer and calmer skin.
How it works: Blue light helps target blemish-causing bacteria in the pores, limiting one of the triggers behind breakouts. Red and deep-infrared light form the smoothing side of the story, working further into the skin to support collagen production and soften the look of redness and roughness.
How to use it: Use on dry skin and choose the mode that matches your concern. Skin Sustain takes four minutes, Better Ageing takes six minutes, Blemish Repair takes eight minutes, and Under-Eye Revive can be used for five to 10 minutes.
MOJEH verdict: We used it three to five times a week, switching between blemish and brightening modes as needed. By week four, breakouts looked calmer, skin looked smoother, and the cooling pads had become a fast fix when feeling (and looking) fatigued. Shop now
