After I healed my face with oils, I thought the worst of my skin journey was behind me. But life has a way of bringing us deeper into healing. 

Years ago, my husband and I were in the process of adopting a beautiful baby girl from Samoa—sweet baby Tali. We loved her like our own, but she had a staph infection that I contracted from her. We later learned that: the adoption wasn’t legal. The agency was asking us to buy her. 

We were heartbroken. When they took her away from us, I fell into a deep depression. My body crashed. I ended up contracting dengue fever, and in my weakened state, staph infection spread rapidly through my entire body. 

I was on antibiotics for six months. Nothing could stop the infection. It was spreading faster than I could heal. I was desperate—until I came across light therapy. 

What Is Light Therapy? 

Light therapy uses specific wavelengths of light to stimulate healing deep within your skin. It’s completely non-invasive, doesn’t burn, and is backed by real science. 

• Red Light (630–660 nm): Boosts collagen, reduces wrinkles, and speeds healing. 
• Blue Light (405–470 nm): Kills acne-causing bacteria and calms breakouts. 
• Green Light (520–530 nm): Evens skin tone and reduces hyperpigmentation.
• Yellow Light (570–590 nm): Supports lymphatic flow and reduces redness. 
• Purple Light: Combines red and blue—ideal for hormonal acne and repair. 
• Cyan Light (490–500 nm): Soothes inflammation and fades scars. 
• White Light: A full-spectrum blend that boosts clarity and cell turnover.
• Clinical studies have shown that red and blue light can significantly reduce skin infections, scars, and even support mood and energy. (Source: NIH PubMed studies [PMC2698799], [PMID: 26741463], and others) 

How I Use It Today 

I started using lights daily - focusing the mask on the worst areas of infection. Within hours, I could feel a shift. The swelling went down. The burning eased. And slowly, my body began to respond. 

Since then, I’ve used light therapy not just for infection, but for: 

• Acne 
• Scarring 
• Wrinkles + collagen support 
• Mood + energy 
• Hormonal balance (with purple light) 
• Lymphatic movement and inflammation (with cyan and green) 

That’s why I created a 7-color LED mask—not just for beauty, but for deep, cellular healing. Go here to read more about how you can use light for healing. I am happy to offer a free full sized skin care kit with purchase - use the code FREESKINCARE to receive this special offer. 

Light Is Medicine 

We are made of frequency. Of vibration. Of energy. When we bring in light—the right kind of light—we bring in order, healing, and life. 

If you’ve ever struggled with chronic skin issues, low mood, or scars that just won’t fade…light therapy was made for you. 

Until then, may you feel the light again.
