Other Australian celebrities including fitness entrepreneur Tammy Hembrow and Married At First Sight contestant Martha Kalifatidis have also used the popular beauty product.
Colour light therapy is a treatment offered at thousands of medispas and salons and works by using light in different colours and wavelengths to target specific skin concerns.
The blue light can help to eliminate p-acne causing bacteria from the root, improve the environment inside the pores and restrain bacteria found deep in the skin.
The red light is used to increase hydration, promote collagen and eliminate wrinkles while the yellow light promotes circulation, dilutes pigment and can help reduce the roughness of the skin.

One customer, Sophie O'Sulllivan had incredible results in four weeks after switching up the colours to get the full effects in addition to her skincare routine.
Another, 23-year-old Yasmina, said it's her new 'skincare secret'.
'I've always used LED after getting a professional facial but never have I seen an at home LED mask until I came across this,' she wrote.
'I purchased it after seeing it all over social media and I am so glad I gave it a chance! I love how this LED light has three settings - one for acne, one for anti ageing and one for cell renewal.
'My first time using it I left it on for 10 minutes as recommended and I saw an instant result. Skin felt rejuvenated and cleaner. I'm obsessed.'
The company, Peppy Co, was launched by husband and wife duo Ermin and Mia Plakalo who are passionate about Australian botanicals and natural skincare.
'We both had battled with skin imperfections, stress and non-stress related acne, blemishes and just about everything else,' they write on their website.
'After several trials and errors and having to bin products that just didn't do anything for us, we decided to give natural alternatives a trial. This was what led to the discovery of what we now call the Peppy Co product.'
The company is also well-known for its All-in-One Sleeping Mask, a $49 pink clay and zinc oxide formula designed to soften and smooth out the skin overnight.
