    wait… is the INIA GLOW WIRELESS going to replace my JOVS 4D Laser?

    wait... is the INIA GLOW WIRELESS going to replace my JOVS 4D Laser? Shop INIA Glow Wireless red light mask here: https://us.theinia.com/3W8WEgx Discount Code: MELISSAGLOW for $20 off Will my INIA Glow Wireless LED Mask replace my JOVS 4D Laser? 👀 I was not expecting to be this impressed, but since the INIA Glow arrived, I’ve been reaching for it every morning instead of my JOVS. In this video, I compare the Inia Glow Wireless LED Mask vs. JOVS 4D Laser Mask and share why the INIA might just earn a spot in your daily skincare routine. The wireless design is a game changer, and the purple setting (blue + red light + NIR) means it tackles wrinkles, fine lines, and aging concerns at the same time as acne and bacteria. It’s rare to find a mask that’s this well designed, effective, and user-friendly. If you’ve been searching for the best affordable red light therapy mask for 2025, or wondering which red light therapy mask to buy, this honest comparison will help you decide. I’ll walk you through the benefits, features, and real-world usability of both devices so you can see which one fits your needs best.

    How I *actually* HEALED MY NERVOUS SYSTEM (and changed my life)

    How I *actually* HEALED MY NERVOUS SYSTEM (and changed my life) Regulate Your Nervous System 👉https://melissawest.com/membership For over a decade I lived in dorsal shutdown, disconnected and frozen. My healing didn’t happen overnight, it unfolded slowly, through isolation, creating space, and practices like restorative yoga, yin yoga, and yoga nidra. As I thawed, I moved into sympathetic activation where I had to face and heal the anger and fight responses in my body. This video shares how I healed my nervous system step by step, and what nervous system regulation really looks like in the real world. I’ll also explain how the vagus nerve works, and why understanding how the nervous system works is essential for long-term healing. Now, after more than 15 years of this process, I live from a place that feels deeply regulated and resourced. If you’re curious about how to heal your nervous system, or you want to learn practical ways to regulate your nervous system, this video will give you a real-world perspective. And if you’re ready to start your own journey, you can join our Revive & Thrive Incubator where we practice nervous system healing together: https://melissawest.com/membership. #nervoussystemregulation #nervoussystemhealing #vagusnerve

    JOVS 4D Laser Red Light Therapy Mask 4 months later

    JOVS 4D Laser Red Light Therapy Mask 4 months later ❤️Jovs 4D Laser Red Light Therapy Mask Link for Purchase ❤️  After 4 months of using the JOVS 4D Laser Light Therapy Mask, I’m excited to share my in-depth review and the noticeable differences in my skin! Unlike traditional LED masks that target the epidermis, the JOVS mask uses low-level laser technology to penetrate the dermis layer—the source of collagen, elastin, and fibroblasts—for deep skin rejuvenation, improved elasticity, and long-term results. From smoother, firmer, and more radiant skin to reduced fine lines, wrinkles, and pigmentation, I’ve experienced gradual yet significant improvements over time. In this review, I’ll cover key insights, including how I use the mask daily during my mobility and meditation routines, the benefits I’ve seen with age spots, fine lines, and sagging skin, and how it compares to other devices I’ve tried. I’ll also address common questions, like the difference between laser and LED technology, why the JOVS mask is uniquely designed for targeted facial treatments, and how it fits into a holistic skincare routine with gua sha and serums. Whether you’re curious about its efficacy or considering investing, this review will help you decide if the JOVS mask is right for you!

    Warm Lemon Water in the Morning | Mindful Morning Ritual

    Start your day with the simple yet powerful practice of drinking warm lemon water in the morning. This refreshing ritual helps rehydrate your body after a night of sleep, replenishing your fluids and setting the tone for a healthy day. The sour taste of lemon stimulates digestion, encourages elimination, and supports liver function by acting as a natural detoxifier. Packed with vitamin C, lemon water also gives your immune system a boost, helping your body stay resilient. This small but significant act offers more than just physical benefits—it becomes a moment of self-care, supporting your body and overall well-being. In this video, I guide you through a mindful morning ritual with warm lemon water. From slicing the lemon to pouring the water slowly, each step is an opportunity to pause and appreciate the present moment. Reflect on the interconnectedness of the lemon’s journey—how the earth, sun, rain, and many hands brought it to your kitchen. As you hold the cup in both hands, take a deep breath, savor the uplifting aroma, and smile. This moment is sacred. You are nourishing not only your body but also your spirit, grounding yourself in the simple joy of self-care. #warmlemonwater #morningroutine #mindfulness

    I Used the JOVS 4D Laser Red Light Therapy Mask for 30 Days

    I Used the JOVS 4D Laser Red Light Therapy Mask for 30 Days  ❤️Jovs 4D Laser Red Light Therapy Mask Link for Purchase ❤️ https://jovs.com?sca_ref=6606651.BDN0EihsG77ZYQpa&utm_source=kol&utm_medium=melissa-west&utm_campaign=eaden-10 In this video, I’m going on a 30-day challenge of using the JOVS 4D Laser Red Light Therapy Mask to see if it can help me fall asleep and stay asleep. As a menopausal woman facing the added challenges of jet lag and time zone changes from two upcoming trips, I’m putting this mask to the test under some seriously difficult conditions. My goal is to find out if the red light and NIR therapy can really boost melatonin production and improve sleep, or if it’s just better to stick to the known skin benefits and look elsewhere for sleep support. Throughout the challenge, I document my experience using the mask while traveling, from packing it in my luggage to using it in different locations and dealing with unexpected obstacles that came my way. With sleep being such a common struggle among my viewers, especially during menopause and stressful situations, I know how important it is to find solutions that truly work. Watch to see if the JOVS 4D Laser Mask in action, or if I end up regretting this experiment with my sleep, my family visits, and emotional well-being on the line. ❤️Jovs 4D Laser Red Light Therapy Mask Link for Purchase ❤️ https://jovs.com?sca_ref=6606651.BDN0EihsG77ZYQpa&utm_source=kol&utm_medium=melissa-west&utm_campaign=eaden-10
