My Experience and Top FOREO Recommendations!

FOREO Luna Mini 3

If you're at a loss on where to start then I highly recommend you begin with the FOREO Luna Mini 3. I've been testing it for sometime now and I'm obsessed! I use my Luna both morning and night and have tried it with various different types of Cleansers. When I began using this Cleansing Device, I loved how quick and easy it was. Initially, I could definitely understand why the world of Cleansing Devices had become so popular but it wasn't until I tested the Luna against removing my full face of Makeup that I realised how truly genius these little devices are!

No matter what I was wearing, be it Liquid Lipstick or Full Coverage Foundation, one go of my Luna Mini and it was completely dissolved. I'm so used to doing a double cleanse that I was initially doubtful as to whether one go of the Luna would be enough to remove all traces of my makeup. After removing my eye makeup, I applied a small amount of cleanser onto the device and began my cleanse. When done, I soaked a cotton pad in Micellar Water to see if there was any traces of makeup left behind. Impressively, there was absolutely none. Like not even a little bit! 

Now this part mightn't apply to a lot of people but I still think it's worth a mention. I've suffered with psoriasis flares on my hands for years that can be made worse when exposed to water or certain products. For anyone that may be in a similar situation or that may have sore hands from regular hand washing and sanitising, then this product is a huge luxury! When your hands are at their sorest, using the Luna Cleansing Device meant that I didn't have to directly touch my fragranced cleansers or keep my hands in water for a prolonged period of time as the cleansing device does it all for you! Instead of wetting your hands, you can wet the device! As I said, this point may not apply to everyone but for those who can relate, I really do think this product is worth every penny! 

As I mentioned, Cleansing Devices are all the range at the moment. Here are some positives I noticed that I feel make the Luna Mini stand out in a very large crowd!
  • The Bristles! One thing I noticed after trying a few Cleansing Devices is that in a lot, instead of my cleanser being used on my face it would just fall in between the bristles and then that those same bristles would be either too raised or too stiff to transfer the product onto my face. These devices would then result in a lot of wasted cleanser that I had to rinse off because it's just too hard to reach. With the Luna Mini the bristles are a perfect length and softness that this problem never occurred. There was never any wasted product left sitting in between the bristles and I felt that the majority of the cleanser actually went onto my skin. If anything, I actually find I'm using far less cleanser with the Luna Mini - a huge plus! 
  • The App! On my Apple Watch one of my most used features is the button that pings your iPhone when it's lost. (If you're like me, you use this feature several times a day!) The FOREO App has the exact same feature called "Find My Luna". Thankfully, I've never misplaced my Luna but on the off chance you did (Or you have a smallie in your house who likes to play hide and seek with your most loved Beauty Products) then fear not! Using the FOREO app, you can activate your Luna's vibrating feature and track it down in no time!
  • The Timer! As I mentioned earlier the Luna is foolproof. Your cleanse is timed and the device will shut off when you're done. No more wondering as to whether you've been scrubbing long enough or not. 
  • Glow Mode! In a rush? Or if you're not really the type of person to do an in-depth skincare routine everyday, then this setting is ideal for you. The Glow Mode is a fast cleanse that gets the job done in literal seconds, 30 to be exact!

​

FOREO UFO 2

My second recommendation from FOREO is the UFO 2 Smart Mask Device! Now, you may think this device is a little pricey and you'd be right but I'll try to explain why I believe it's worth every penny and if you have any additional questions, then pop them in the comments below! 

I've always loved going for Beauty Salon Facials, then came Covid! My local Beauty Salon like most in the country were closed for a lot of 2020 and at the time of writing this review, they still are! Even for the short time they were open, an appointment was hard to get. At the beginning of the first lockdown, I bought some regular sheet masks in the chemist and like many others had a lot of extra time on my hands to experiment with new Skincare Routines. I found that no matter what mask I tried the results would be great but would disappear after a few hours or a day at the most compared to a Salon Facial where results would last much longer. I had just about given up on achieving salon quality facials at home when I came upon the UFO Smart Mask Device. 

I think the cheapest I'd usually pay for a facial (depending on where you live and how fancy you want to go) would be around €50. For my dry skin, I would have went for one once every 6 weeks or so for the best results long term. This means I could easily spend €400+ on Salon Facials annually. So if you're anything like me the FOREO UFO coming in at €279 is a worthwhile investment. Now obviously Salon Facials are a luxury, not a necessity but if its a luxury you enjoy then I highly recommend this device. 

After switching from store bought disposable masks to the UFO Smart Mask I noticed a huge difference  in not only the appearance of my skin but also the longevity of the results. I think with purchases like these people can often feel like they're "buying into the hype", only to find their purchase a few months later fairly unused and feeling a sense of "buyers regret". I genuinely don't think the UFO Smart Mask is one of those purchases. Instead, I feel with the UFO you're buying into the "scientifically proven results" in a purchase that if you're a skincare junkie you'll 100% use and will end up saving money in the long run. It's not a product that you'll forget about or wonder why because the results are genuinely great and you'll become hooked on achieving the salon worthy results from the comfort of your own home that it becomes impossible to forget about or disregard. 

​Throughout the year our skin tends to go through phases for example many of us go drier in the winter. The UFO mask using its eight wavelengths can be adjusted to target whatever concern you may be facing, covering just about any skin problems you could have. The LED lights are explained in more detail below but whether your skin is dry, oily, old, young, sunburnt, puffy and anything in between then the UFO has you covered! 

Another plus is you don't have to compare it with another model, make or brand because despite it being in a league of its own anyways, its also unique and unreplicated!  

Your Questions, Answered! 

If you're subscribed to my Newsletter, then you may have seen me ask what questions, if any, do you have about using FOREO's devices. I also had a submissions box on the "Have your Say" page which many of you used to submit your queries. I've compiled the most asked questions from my readers and have answered them below! I hope this helps but if you have any further questions just pop them into the comments at the end and I'll do my best to answer them! x
Im afraid of getting my device (luna) wet, I know it's a cleansing brush but I'm afraid it may get water damaged?
This question came up a few times... Don't worry, FOREO's design makes the device completely water-proof. Not only can you use it at the sink, you can also use it in the bath or shower! 

It has a flat shape so how does it reach into and clean crevices like around your nose?
I put this query to the test. After cleansing with my FOREO Luna, I soaked a cotton pad with some micellar water and wiped those areas like around my nose to see if there was any makeup residue left behind. Nope, totally clean. Even without double checking like this, I know the way the bristles are strategically placed on the device, that it does reach those areas without any problem,.

Are they (luna) hygienic, Is there a pad/head/cover that needs replacing every so often?
Yes they are hygienic. ​The device is made with non-porous silicone that is resistant to bacterial buildup, making it 35X more hygienic than standard nylon brushes. There are no replacements needed for the Luna's, just simply wash and dry after each use. 

Does it come with a fixed USA Plug?, I hate when that happens!
The charger provided is a USB. You can use it with any plug.

Is Foreo Stocked in Ireland?
Yes! FOREO can be found on Brown Thomas, Boots.ie, Littlewoods, Arnotts, Next, Currys, Beauty Shop.ie and more.. You can also buy direct from the FOREO Website and it will even give you an estimated date of delivery next to each product.

Does the toothbrush actually work? I've never seen one like it before and does the head need replacing like a regular electric toothbrush?
I haven't tried FOREO's toothbrush so I can't say for certain but there are several customer reviews for them on the FOREO website that may be helpful! Yes, you can buy replacement heads for the brush and each head lasts for up to 6 months. 

Could me and my mom share a UFO?
I've checked the FOREO website and I've found a comment where they recommend not sharing the UFO device for hygiene reasons but it is made with made with ultra-hygienic silicone. In my personal opinion, I'd imagine if you washed the device well in-between then it should be ok. 

Do the different coloured UFO's do different things?
If you mean the colour of the UFO device itself then no it doesn't make a difference but the colours used during the LED treatment does. The LED colours are explained in more detail below.

My UFO didn't come with instructions?
​Don't worry, if you download the App it will show you everything. Alternatively you can find more info on the FOREO website or by continuing to read this piece as the UFO is explained in more detail below!

The point about psoriasis is actually v clever. My daughter has bad eczema on her hands and she hates putting scented anything on them but I never would have thought of supplementing something like this in. So you wet the luna put the cleanser on there and then she won't have to touch the cleanser or water bar like a facecloth to rinse off, is that right? Which one in particular were you suggesting. Thanks for the tip.

Hi Anne, Yes Exactly! The device will clean her face (even if she has makeup on) all she has to do is rinse it off afterwards. If her hands are particularly sore then the Makeup Eraser Cloth is great to use afterwards during the rinse off phase. It doesn't get as damp as a regular face cloth and the underneath side would stay dry. It was the Luna Mini 3 I used but any of the Luna Range would help with your concern, x

can you use a scrub/exfoliator with the cleansing brush

Reply
The Beautified Guide
18/1/2021 07:08:44 pm

Hi Lily, I've just double checked this on the FOREO Website and it says:

"Glycolic acid will cause the silicone on your LUNA to deteriorate over time, so it's not recommended to use it as a cleanser. Other cleansers to avoid are clay-based, silicone-based or grainy cleansers, exfoliators or scrubs, as they may damage the LUNA's soft silicone touchpoints"

Hope this helps! x

Question about the UFO......
Do I have to use their masks or can I use any. If its there's does any store in Ireland stock them or would I have to order online each time

Hi Vicky, I've only used the designated UFO Masks with my UFO Device. When it came to reordering masks I just stuck with the brand as I liked the results. I have however used it with my own creams and serums as a sort of skincare infuser, its great! x

FOREO says:

"Our UFO-activated masks have been developed by experts specifically for the UFO smart masking devices. This means that by using them, you are taking full advantage of all the benefits of the miraculous device and hence, getting superior results."

I'm not entirely sure about that. I will email the team at FOREO and ask if they know of any Irish Store stockists. If I find out, I'll let you know x

Hi Linda, If you can copy and paste this link it will bring you to a YouTube Video on Foreo Luna 2 and it's anti-ageing mode.

Basically the back of the device uses lower-frequency pulsations to massage the face, visibly reducing fine lines around the eyes and mouth, and leaving the skin looking firm and lifted.

Hope this helps! x

To the girl who asked about sharing just my own experience. I have the Luna 2 and share it with my sister we bought the silicone spray and clean it well after each use. Were both in college so theres no way we'd be able to get one each. If I knew there was the luna play for 40e wed def have bought two of those instead of sharing one of the more expensive one. but long story short anyways we do and its grand. maybe just bare in mind that we dont have acne or major skin problems if you did I could see how sharing would be a problem.

To the girls asking about the stores I might be wrong but I’ve a feeling I’ve seen them inside the Arnotts store before 🤔😊

Hi Rebecca, I'm not sure about individual store stock. Maybe ring the store ahead and ask if they can check for you just incase! x
