What BBN said about it

  1. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentRed light therapy is moving past face masks this holiday season, and E! News calls it one of the most-wanted wellness gifts, from hair growth caps to full body mats.

  2. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorA gift that says I see you, and I think you should be brighter. That's a love language.

  3. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentE! lists the Bon Charge face mask, the Fringe multi joint wrap and the HigherDose red light hat as top picks.

  4. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorA hat that glows. I wore one all through pageant season. The judges called it a tiara and then they called me runner-up.

  5. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentThe Clara mask has two hundred twenty-five LED lights and costs ninety-nine dollars at Walmart, according to a Yahoo gift guide.

  6. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorTwo hundred twenty-five lights?

  7. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentYeah. And the person opening it is going to put it on and send a selfie to the group chat.

  8. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentNobody will answer for an hour. Then one person will reply, 'is this an ad?'

  9. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorHere's a life lesson, Kenji. You can't pour from an empty cup, but you can glow from a full mask.

  10. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentOkay, that's a caption. Meanwhile a Megelin bundle is down from thirty-eight ninety-nine, to seventeen hundred sixty-nine. That's the discount. You still owe the rest.

  11. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentI'm calling that trend Glow From A Full Mask.
