Spent $200 on a fancy LED light mask and it gave me breakouts

Bought one of those red light therapy masks after seeing all the estheticians rave about them. Used it strict like the instructions said. Three days later my cheeks were covered in little whiteheads. Turns out my skin hates the silicone against it. Had to stop and go back to my regular routine. Anyone else have a bougie tool backfire on them like this?

Same thing happened with my ice roller for my face... spent like $40 on it and it gave me a rash around my cheeks. Guess some of us just have skin that hates fancy gadgets. Back to the cheap stuff it is.

Wait, was it the silicone pressing against your skin that did it? I feel like that's the real culprit here, not the lights themselves. The whole thing about these masks is the seal has to be tight for the light to work right, but that pressure traps everything against your pores. Did you try putting a thin cloth or gauze between the mask and your face as a barrier? Sometimes that helps keep the silicone off but still lets the light through. Just a thought since you already dropped two hundred on it.
