NASA technology launches face mask concept

Published: 30-Nov-2010

Turn Back Time harnesses light wavelengths

UK company Turn Back Time has introduced face masks inspired by NASA technology, which use different light wavelengths to produce anti-ageing and anti-acne effects.

The first mask is claimed to act as a non-surgical facelift; the wavelength of light used reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by stimulating collagen production. It also clears blemishes, minimises pores and improves skin tone and texture. The second mask, meanwhile, accelerates skin cells’ energy potential by acting on mitochondria, according to Turn Back Time. Here, light is converted to energy to promote healing and anti-ageing effects at a deep level, as well as preventing bacteria in the skin.

The treatments, which also help generate vitamin D and stimulate the production of serotonin in the brain, will initially be available in select stores such as London’s Harrods. But Turn Back Time says it is actively looking for distributors and outlets for the products.
