A method of using cosmetics is widely used as a method for maintaining youthful beauty by managing facial skin not to lose elasticity.

However, under the stratum corneum of the epidermis, a protective barrier is formed with a thick protein protective layer, and the epidermis and dermal layers of the skin are separated by this protein protective layer. There is a problem in that the effect of protecting the skin is lowered because the wastes accumulated in the skin cannot be removed, and the nutrition of cosmetics does not penetrate deep into the dermis layer.

In order to improve these problems, various skin care devices for beautifying the skin using far-infrared rays or vibrations are recently known.

However, the conventional skin care device is inconvenient in operation because it has to be operated while continuously holding the beauty device while in contact with the face. In order to improve this problem, a photomask device having a structure that can be worn on the face has been developed.

However, there is a problem that the skin beauty effect cannot be greatly improved by only irradiating the LED light on the skin, so a structure and performance that can compensate for this are required.

The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to additionally provide an electromagnetic field generator capable of inducing the polarization of skin cells in addition to the light source for irradiating light inside the LED photomask, so that light energy and electromagnetic field energy can be transmitted to the skin in a complex manner.

However, as a pulse characteristic suitable for inducing polarization in skin cells, if the maximum voltage applied to the electrode is 130V as an example, the time to reach 70% of the maximum voltage (V _peak ) value after the pulse is 10 It is preferable that the pulse voltage value is greater than (V _peak ??4)V at 45 μs after the pulse is generated.

The power supply unit may be configured as a remote control for supplying and controlling power to the mask layer.

In order to solve the above problems, the method of operating an LED mask having an electromagnetic field generating unit according to the present invention is a method of operating an LED mask having an electromagnetic field generating unit operating in a first mode and a second mode, wherein the first mode comprises: In the light source unit, red light is irradiated from the red LED, and in the electromagnetic field generating unit, an electromagnetic field generated by a supply power of 50V to 150V is irradiated in a single mode, and in the second mode, blue light is irradiated from the blue LED in the light source unit, The electromagnetic field generator is characterized in that it is a combination mode in which the electromagnetic field generated by the supply power supplied differently for each use cycle is irradiated.

In this case, the LED may be composed of two types: a blue LED irradiating light of a blue wavelength or a red LED irradiating a light of a red wavelength depending on the application purpose. In addition, it may further include an LED (LED) for irradiating light of various colors as needed.

As shown in FIG. 4 , the electromagnetic field generator 222 formed on the outside of the second mask layer 220 includes a first electrode 222a, a second electrode 222b, and a second electrode 222b and a circular shape made of copper (Cu). It may be composed of three electrodes of the three electrodes 222c, and when a voltage of 50V to 150V is supplied to the electrodes, a pulsed fine electromagnetic field of about 0.1mT to 3mT can be generated. In this case, the electrode uses a copper plate having a thickness of 0.3mm to 0.5mm, but the width is preferably 10mm to 30mm, and it is preferable to maintain the interval between the electrode and the electrode at 5mm to 15mm.

The third mask layer 230 is formed outside the second mask layer 220 and prevents the second mask layer 220 on which the light source unit 221 and the electromagnetic field generator 222 are formed from being exposed to the outside. That is, the third mask layer 230 serves as an outer case together with the first mask layer 210 . In this case, a design according to a user's needs may be added to the outside of the third mask layer 240 .
