FOREO LUNA mini 2 Save the Sea

I love my Foreo skincare devices, not too sure whether there is a name for a group of them, but I have three. I have a big one, a little one and now this super cute Luna Mini Save The Sea. 

FOREO has partnered with GreenWave and SEA LIFE Trust for a second year to launch the LUNA mini 2 Save the Sea Special Edition facial cleansing brush. All of the net proceeds from the sale of this device will go to benefit ocean conservation efforts. This campaign will allow FOREO to continue support for initiatives such as the rehabilitation of endangered sea life and the building of restorative ocean farms to foster wildlife habitats, which I think it just fantastic.

For those who have never seen a Foreo before, they are pretty amazing and the best facial cleansing device I have ever used. The LUNA mini 2 is pretty stylish looking with the little turtles clearly visible in white. Like other Foreo cleansers, this one features 1300 non-abrasive, hygienic, silicone-coated touch-points that are configured into three zones to suit all skin types.  Then there is reverse side for channeling pulsations more directly to cleanse and refresh oilier skin. 

The Foreo cleans impurities from your pores to reduce blemishes and it removes 99.5% of dirt and oil plus makeup residue to leave your skin looking much clearer, brighter and healthier. As you move the device around your face, dead skin cells are cleared away too and this helps with the absorption of your serums, moisturising creams and other skincare products by allowing them to penetrate deep into your skin without having to fight their way through.

What I love about the Foreo is not only how easy it is to use but also how quickly you find it becoming part of your skincare routine without having to think about it and it takes no more than a few minutes of your time.  So to use, you should ideally remove all of your make-up as you would with any other cleansing regime and then, ensuring your face is damp, apply your regular cleansing product (I use the Foreo one) directly to your skin and thennhj turn on your Foreo by pressing the button once and then you will feel the slight vibrations in your hand. Then, if you imagine your face is 4 sections - chin, cheeks, forehead and nose, using gentle upward and outward strokes for at least 15 seconds per area, move the Foreo around your face to cleanse and it is also like a mini facial work-out too. You will know when those 15 seconds come to an end as the vibrations momentarily pause and then after one minute the vibrations will pause 3 times in quick succession to signal the end of your cleanse. Then you simply rinse your face, pat dry and apply your regular skincare products.

If you have never owned or used a Foreo device before, but you like your face cleaning brushes, then the Foreo is a worthy investment as far as I am concerned, I absolutely could not be without mine.

Launching 1st July, £99, available from www.foreo.com, Harvey Nichols and Look Fantastic

Foreo Iris Illuminating Eye Massager

The older I get, the more I look at products which claim to starve off the wrinkles, eliminate the grey, fill in frown lines and eradicate fine lines. Now I know that there isn't a product that can or will reverse the signs of ageing, but there are products out there which can help.

I am a huge lover of my Foreo Luna, I find my skin loves and responds to it so well as a cleansing device that then I was lucky enough to get my hands on the Foreo Iris Illuminating Eye Massager*I couldn't wait to give it a try. One thing I love about Foreo products is that they charge by USB and once charged, it is unusual that you would need to do this again for at least 4-5 months, even if you use it everyday. 

In typical Foreo style, the design of this device is quirky and it stands out, ordinarily, you might not even know what it is from a first glance and this is what I love about the brand. The Iris is an eye massager which is ultimately designed to make your eye cream work better by improving its absorption whilst at the same time reducing the appearance of puffiness and dark circles, whilst smoothening crow's feet, fine lines and wrinkles for revitalised eyes. It does all of this by using innovative Alternating T-Sonic™ technology which gives this device two different working motions. The first is a gentle 'Pure Mode' which is designed to replicate the feeling of a manual massage and the second is a 'Spa Mode', which combines tapping and delicate pulsations for a professional beauty treatment experience. 

I prefer the second working motion and when I apply cream with my fingers to my eye area, I have used the tapping motion ever since I had my first facial over 2 years ago. The difference with using the device is that it makes a simple job even simpler to do and I also find it incredibly relaxing. The usage time is around 1-2 minutes per eye and it works really well with either a serum or a cream.  Aside from using the Iris with my eye creams, if I have eye strain or a headache, just using the tapping mode of this device is actually quite soothing, so for me, this is an added bonus.

The iris has been crafted from premium, ultra-hygienic silicone that is gentle to the delicate eye contour area, it is fully waterproof and easy to clean. Add to that, it can be used on the go making it an essential travel item so you can refresh your eyes on the move.

Naturally I love the Iris and find it really useful and enjoy using it.  To purchase it is priced at £119 the Iris comes with a 10-year guarantee and is available from their Foreo here or Look Fantastic and it is available in three different colours.
