Using a cleanser did more for me then tret so far. If you got oily skin or sweat in the day use it.

Also changing pillow cases like every 2-3 days noticed the right side of my face has more acne cause thats the side I sleep on. Only use cold or luke warm water.

Best light therapy for acne is the big beautiful sun
Or keep listening to dermatologists and cover yourself in chemicals and lock yourself in your room staring at a screen all day and then pay thousands to go to a dermatologist who will zap your skin with lasers that are cheap imitations of the sun

Both camps are right on this issue in the health/beauty scene. The sun causes wrinkles skin damage and ages you faster but at the same time it also gives vitamin D improves mood and has regeneration properties.

It largely depends on a few things.
1. Race/phenotype Northern Europeans were never meant for a lot of sun so if you live in a place like Florida your getting way too much the paler your natural skin tone the less sun you naturally need.
2. If you use tret you should wear it.

UV radiation is bad for everyone but some races or phenotypes are better protected some areas in the world like Africa have more UV radiation as well. Best to protect your face the more fair skin you are and you should still get sun but just not on your face use redlight therapy and take vitamin D to supplement. The red light spectrum is good for us but UV radiation is bad

What about my skintone? I always see these paranoid skincare people say wear sunscreen even inside and other crazy shit, and they say all races need to wear it. I’ve never sunburned in my life and have never wore sunscreen in my life, including when on vacation in very hot climates. Though I live in Canada so I especially don’t think I need sunscreen here.

Its kinda half true UV radiation is bad for everyone but like I said earlier Africans have dark skin to cope with high UV radiation.

I think in Canada you should be fine but like for me I lived in Florida and the sun effected me a lot I could get burned in an hour with no shirt on thats not good for you. As long as you don't get sun burnt its probably fine unless you work outside all day

Red Light Therapy​

Red light therapy is a highly beneficial form of light therapy that utilizes specific wavelengths of light in the mid 600nm range. These wavelengths have shown a multitude of advantages for the skin, making red light therapy a popular and effective treatment option.
One of the primary benefits of red light therapy is its ability to promote skin tightening. By using wavelengths around 660nm, which researchers often consider the most effective wavelength, red light therapy stimulates collagen production. Collagen is a vital protein that provides structure and elasticity to the skin. As we age, collagen levels naturally decline, leading to the appearance of wrinkles, sagging, and loss of firmness. Red light therapy combats these signs of aging by boosting collagen synthesis. The increased collagen production helps to improve skin elasticity, reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and promote a more youthful and lifted complexion.
Moreover, red light therapy has been extensively studied and has a robust body of clinical evidence supporting its benefits. Researchers have found that red light, in the mid 600nm range, has the ability to induce collagen production, accelerate wound healing, and facilitate the repair of acne scars. This therapy provides a non-invasive and safe solution for individuals seeking to improve the texture and appearance of their skin.
The red light used in therapy penetrates deep into the skin, reaching the mitochondria of cells. This stimulation of ATP production (adenosine triphosphate), the energy source for cellular functions, enhances cellular metabolism and promotes the overall revitalization and rejuvenation of the skin. The increased ATP production supports the regeneration of new cells, leading to improved skin texture, reduced redness, and a more radiant complexion.
In conclusion, red light therapy, utilizing wavelengths in the mid 600nm range, offers a multitude of benefits for the skin. These include skin tightening, collagen induction, wound healing, and acne scar repair. By harnessing the power of red light, this therapy stimulates cellular activity, improves skin elasticity, and promotes a rejuvenated and youthful appearance. Incorporating red light therapy into your skincare routine can help you achieve remarkable results in enhancing your skin's overall health and vitality.

Blue Light Therapy​

Blue light therapy is a powerful and effective treatment with a wide range of benefits for the skin. It has been extensively utilized to address various skin concerns, especially acne, through its ability to target specific bacteria and promote overall skin health.
One of the primary benefits of blue light therapy is its remarkable effectiveness in treating acne. Acne is often caused by the overgrowth of bacteria on the skin, leading to inflammation and breakouts. Blue light therapy works by penetrating the skin to a specific wavelength, typically around 420nm, where it has been found to be particularly beneficial for targeting acne-causing bacteria. The blue light specifically kills the bacteria responsible for acne, helping to reduce inflammation and promote clearer skin.
Moreover, blue light therapy has been widely used to treat sun damage and premalignant or malignant skin cancer growths. The therapy harnesses the power of blue light to target and eradicate damaged cells, promoting the healing and regeneration of healthier skin.
Studies have also shown that blue light induces an anti-inflammatory and antiproliferative effect on the skin. This means that it can be beneficial in managing hyperproliferative and chronic inflammatory skin conditions such as atopic dermatitis, eczema, and psoriasis. The anti-inflammatory properties of blue light help calm the skin and reduce redness and irritation associated with these conditions.
In addition to its anti-acne and healing properties, blue light therapy can improve overall skin texture and address concerns such as sebaceous hyperplasia, which involves enlarged oil glands. The therapy helps to regulate oil production, reduce the size of oil glands, and improve the overall appearance of the skin.
By harnessing the power of blue light therapy, the Rejuvenator™ provides a non-invasive and effective solution for a range of skin concerns. From acne treatment and bacterial eradication to addressing skin conditions and improving skin texture, blue light therapy offers a versatile approach to promoting healthier, clearer, and more radiant skin.

Skin cancer and loss of collagen due to the sun is likely the least of your worries, be more conscious of your vitamin D levels.
