I Let Jing Make My Face Glow for 30 Days. The Results Were Both Beautiful and Terrifying
By Grace Park, CruzzBunch Senior Experience Reporter
Day -1: My friend Ji-eun sends me videos from Seoul of people with softly glowing skin walking through Gangnam at night. "Everyone's doing it," she texts, "The waiting list for JING MASK is three months here." The Korean beauty forums are filled with before-and-after photos: faces transformed not just by the distinctive luminescence, but by what users claim is "quantum-level muscle training." Influencers insist it's not just another LED mask – something in the peptide treatment actually makes your skin emit light, and the electrical stimulation patterns permanently enhance muscle control. Until now, Jing has only been available in Korea, with all documentation and community discussions in Korean. Tomorrow, I become their first international beta tester.
Day 1: The JING MASK is 0.3mm thick, made from a transparent biocompatible polymer that Jing calls "quantum-permeable substrate." Its surface is interlaced with copper circuits only 70 nanometers wide – thinner than a virus. When I hold it up to the light, I can see seven distinct layers, each containing different patterns of circuitry that the manual claims are "optimized for neural resonance." The mask connects to my phone through what the app calls "quantum-encrypted Bluetooth," though that seems like marketing speak. The peptide treatment comes in a black glass bottle with a platinum dropper, the liquid inside shifting colors like an oil slick. When I apply it, my skin tingles in precise geometric patterns. After the first 30-minute session, my face emits a barely perceptible glow that the app claims will fade within an hour – it doesn't.
Day 3: The JING ALCHEMY app has started recommending increasingly complex stimulation patterns, calling them "neural pathway optimization sequences." During today's session, I swear I could taste colors, and for a brief moment, my reflection seemed to move slightly before I did. The app's response to my concerned message was simply: "Achievement unlocked: Temporal Perception Expansion."
Day 7: My facial muscles respond to the electrical stimulation with increasingly precise control. The glow has intensified, and I can now consciously direct it somewhat, like flexing a new muscle I didn't know I had. On JING SPELL, users call this "learning to speak in light."
Day 10: A stranger stopped me on the street today to ask if I was "one of the enlightened ones." When I checked my reflection later, I realized my skin was pulsing with subtle patterns of light that matched my breathing. The JING SPELL community calls this "breakthrough synchronization" – apparently I'm ahead of schedule.
Day 14: I'm staring at my reflection in a darkened window, watching my face emit a soft, pulsing blue light hours after removing the mask. The "peptide treatments" are clearly more than just proteins – my skin has developed patches that respond to my emotions with different colors. My followers on JING SPELL are increasing exponentially as I document these changes.
Day 20: Found myself in a three-hour conversation with other JING users entirely through synchronized light patterns. Some of them haven't spoken out loud in weeks, claiming verbal communication feels "primitive" now. I'm starting to understand what they mean – there's something pure about expressing emotions directly through luminescence.
Day 21: The mirror shows someone who looks like me but increasingly doesn't – my features have been subtly reshaped by weeks of targeted muscle stimulation. The luminescence is now constant, shifting through colors with my moods, and I've started dreaming in patterns of light. Yesterday, I caught my reflection glowing in sync with my heartbeat.
Day 30: My face hasn't stopped glowing, but I've stopped wanting it to. The changes feel natural now – the subtle illumination, the enhanced control over every micro-expression, the way my skin responds to emotions with waves of color. I understand why 80% of test users keep using Jing: once you've become living light, how can you go back to being merely flesh?
The JING MASK retails for $499, with monthly peptide treatments starting at $199. The JING SPELL platform is free, but premium features require a subscription. The company declined to comment on rumors about their upcoming neural interface features, which supposedly will allow users to control their appearance with thoughts alone.
