Breaking Beauty Podcast

This week we’re welcoming back power cosmeceutical couple, board-certified dermatologist Dr. Dennis Gross and Carrie Gross, co-founder and chief creative officer of the beloved Dr. Dennis Gross skincare brand. In this sponsored episode, we find out whether LED skin devices (like the rose gold, hockey goalie-adjacent mask you’ve seen all over your feed) are as revolutionary as retinol in the history of beauty breakthroughs.

Listen in to learn:

• The fascinating origin story behind LED skin therapy technology –  straight outta NASA –  that led to today’s device boom.
• “LED is an ingredient.” The new way of thinking around the collagen-building tech that has Dr. Dennis Gross likening LED to retinol and vitamin C.
• Mask? Wand? Amazon? How to shop for the best LED skin device for your skin – and the red flags to avoid.
• How-to incorporate LED light masks into your everyday routine, from when and how long to use it – including a hack for targeting a sagging neck.
• Plus! Stay tuned until the end to hear the scoop on what sort of device the dynamic duo will be launching next.

Note from our Sponsor: Visit DrDennisGross.com to learn more about their LED devices and skincare products
