Hi beauties hope you all had a great weekend. Another week has begun, and I have some really exciting blogposts coming up this week so keep checking on my blog or do the easiest way: subscribe by leaving your email address on the right hand side of my blog so alert emails will be sent to you when new blogpost is up. Now... Let's crack on with the review.
Foreo is a Scandinavian brand and Luna is its latest innovation in sonic skin cleansing. I got the pink one which is designed for normal/sensitive skin (£145). You can purchase yours from the Foreo website or cultbeauty where I got mine from. Price ranging from £99 to £5000. That's right. £5000! Because it's made of 24k gold. Wow talk about luxury beauty tools.
Foreo luna is a skin cleansing device like the Clarisonic but without the harsh brush head. This hand-held device might look like something you might plug your iPod into, yea I know but no. This ingenious gizmo not only maximizes the efficacy of your cleanser by helping it penetrate pores to purge every last trace of residual make up and grime, but also promotes micro-circulation and relaxes facial muscles to delay the development of deep set expression lines and wrinkles. What’s more, there are no bristles to ruffle skin’s delicate feathers unlike the Clarisonic, harbour blemish causing bacteria (or require replacing), so your complexion stays beautifully clean, clear and luminous. (From cultbeauty)
I choose this particular one because I have pretty normal skin, slightly sensitive. Foreo also sells the mini version of this which is great for travel, but it's more targeted for teenagers as it has no anti aging function to Luna Mini. It also has the white ones which are for ultra sensitive skin type, and the blue ones which are designed for combo skin type. Then there are the purple ones, ahh the purple ones, they are made of 24k gold and cost a fortune. Literally!
It comes in a kit which contains the Luna of course, a travel pouch, a charger, a Foreo Authenticity Card which certifies a 2-year warranty and 10-year quality guarantee, a instruction pamphlet and a quick start guide.
Now I have been using this every single day for the past week and I have to say I really really do like it. I mean it's so easy to use and you only need a minute to cleanse your whole face. Pretty cool right. Good for lazy ones like me.
Basically what you do is unlock the device by pressing and holding the "-" and "+" buttons. Then turn it on by pressing the centre button once and the device starts to vibrate and that's when you start cleansing your face with it. You do however need to put on your cleanser first then wet the silicone cleansing points in order to cleanse the face properly. (remember guys charge your Luna before the first use and it'll last you up to 450 uses. Wow!) It will remind you when the minute is up, that's cleansing done. Then you just do your normal skincare routine, click the centre button once again to set the Anti aging mode where you use the back of the Luna to massage your expression lines, crow's feet and whatever wrinkles you might have for another minute.

Foreo doesn't recommend using Luna for more than 3 minutes each use. You can however use it twice a day, morning and evening, but I prefer just using it in the evening because I feel like I exfoliate enough with my Pixi Glow Tonic, Alpha H Liquid Gold and Muslin cloth so I really don't wanna over exfoliate my skin by using this device twice a day.
I really like the silicone points of this device, they just feel so soft and gentle on my skin. It doesn't break me out and my skin feels pretty smooth after. I feel like it's doing something on the white heads that I have on my chin as well. They are definitely not there anymore which makes me so freaking happy.
I made a little fast motion video clip to show you how to use the Foreo Luna and hopefully this makes it easier than having to read the instruction but I'll link the full manual instruction here in case you wanna check it out.
I hope you can see that how easy it is to use this device and all you need is a minute. I don't know if you noticed that before I move on to another part of my face there's a little "sound" well vibrate really which alerts you to move on. Pretty smart right?! Remember to turn it down by pressing the "-" button for the delicate eye area. My face did turn a tad red after but that's just the way my skin is, always like this even with a washing cloth. Don't mind it. The silicone cleansing points are actually very gentle. I don't feel any irritation whatsoever. A little tip: don't press the Luna against your skin too hard just let it do its job, all you have to do is moving around on your face. Easy breezy!
Now let's take a look at the "Anti Aging" part. Here is the video clip.
I think buying a good cleansing device is beneficial as cleansing is the most important step in our skincare routines. Just think of this as an investment, you know invest your money on the Foreo Luna to delay aging right?! We women really need to look after our skin, nobody's getting any younger?! I highly recommend getting a Foreo Luna.
That's it, I know it's a long one but it is a quite expensive product so I wanna give you every single detail I could then you can decide if it's for you. I hope this is helpful and hopefully the video clips "explained" well enough. Excuse my big bare face there! Hah!
Please let me know your experiences with the Foreo Luna and you can tweet me @eflicciardello or Instagram me @eflicciardello as well. Thank you and see you all next time! Bye! Muahh!
