I love my skincare gadgets and every few months there is always something new and fancy looking that makes my inner magpie just want to give it a try. I am all for anything that will make my skincare routine easier but in saying that, it has to be just as effective. I was to know that the products I am trying will benefit me and my skin, rather than be the latest fad.
Then the BeGlow TIA system arrived and to give it its full title of the TIA Sonic Skin Care System from BeGlow it is described as being a 3-in-one beauty device that not only cleanses but also lifts and tones the appearance of skin too. I made the decision some time ago to no longer use facial brushes with bristles, instead opting to use those which have silicone brushes instead, this device is one of those. Being fully waterproof, the silicone brush is replaceable and much more hygienic. Once used, I also ensure I rinse off any debris and allow to air dry.
So what does this TIA system do and how?
Firstly, we have cleansing. Using the silicone brush head for cleansing the TIA works to remove impurities more effectively than manual cleansing to leave skin feeling fresh and decongested. The use of silicone bristles with the pulse technology help to remove more excess sebum and detritus from the skin. When you switch it on, The pulsations start when the cleansing brush touches your face, offering a variety of pulsations to fit individual skin types.
The pulsation can smartly adjust from 4500 time per minute to 8500 times per minute, according to your skin care needs. As soon as it is switched on, you can feel the vibrations on your hand as you hold the device and it makes use of dual-pulse technology and in doing so it delivers low and high-frequency pulsations which effectively removes anything in its way. Living in London the very thought that my skin is clogged with dirt, pollution and grime makes me feel ill, so anything I can do to prevent as much of it getting under the skin's surface, I am doing!
When I use the TIA, I use it as part of my second cleanse. I always use a balm for my first cleanse to ensure everything on the surface of the skin has been removed and then I use the TIA for my second cleanse.
The next function is the Anti-Ageing factor. Most of the time I do roll my eyes at the terminology 'anti-ageing' because we all know nature does what it does and we cannot turn back the time.
However, the TIA system has a titanium applicator at the opposite end to the silicone bristles and you use it to not only soothe and de-puff but also to ensure all those lovely skincare products that you use, including face masks actually work themselves into the skin. For me, this function is quite relaxing, the coolness of the plate working across the skin, especially on a hot day is really welcome.
Finally, there is what is referred to as DualPulse Contouring. On the reverse of the Tia device is an ergonomically shaped section which is designed to shape and help contour the face giving the areas which need a little workout, a good bit of exercise - think double chin and saggy jowls!
Due to its unique shape, it fits into the contours of the face perfect and using dual pulse technology, works to shape and firm those areas. Described as being an effective 'lifting' mode that targets problem areas such as double chins and sagging jawlines to help stimulate, strengthen and 're-contour' the look of skin.
Putting all of that together, you can see that this device does a whole lot of things
- It is an all-in-one sonic beauty device
- It works to cleanse, lift and tone
- It uses gentle SkinSense technology
- It features an anti-ageing titanium applicator
- it uses Dual-pulse technology
- It is 100% waterproof
- It has a replaceable silicone brush head
The BeGlow TIA comes with a magnetic USB charging cable which simply snaps on to the back of the device and once it is fully charged it lasts for around six months. It also comes with a nude drawstring pouch which has a separate pocket to store the charger and it is perfect for travelling with because it takes up so little space in your case, bag or even your handbag. I have really loved getting to know the TIA and all of its functions, it is so .different to other devices that I have used and my favourite part? It has to be the chin work out, again it is also quite relaxing to just lay down and let something work away.
