I was lucky enough to get an invitation from BZZAGENT to purchase a
Foreo Luna Mini for just $39, which is literally $100 off the normal
pricing. The catch though is simple, something I enjoy doing anyway. The
catch was; for the discounted price, I had to provide my honest opinion
on the product.
I was not in the market to picking up a facial device, nor was it even
something on my mind, however, after discovering the retail price of
this tiny little facial wonder, I went ahead and made the purchase and
eagerly awaited my device.
I chose pink, and it finally arrived just about a week ago. Inside of
the box you have this very strange looking near egg/orb shaped disc. The
top of it has small silicone bristles ranging in size from the bottom
to the top.
A small USB cable was included to charge the device, and a warranty
card to register my unit in case it ever decides to flunk out on me. The
warranty is for 2 years, which says a lot about the company. They truly
stand by their product! For $139.00 though, they'd better stand by it!
Charging the unit took about 45 minutes total, and according to the
included pamphlet the one charge would literally allow me 300 uses
before I needed to re-charge it. Not too shabby if you ask me. I am
nowhere near 300 uses though so I cannot quite yet say for sure if that
rings true or not.
How To Use The Foreo Luna Mini:
Operation is very easy, and I absolutely loved how silky the device
felt when holding it. It does not feel like a clunky piece of garbage
for its tiny size. Instead it feels like a really nice and sturdy high
quality made device.
You simply wet your face, apply your usual cleaner, and then you turn
the Luna Mini on by pressing the button indentation located in the lower
middle of the device. You press it once for a slow vibration for softer
areas like around the eyes, and you press it again for a harder
vibration.
I found that the higher setting cleansed best for me all over, so this is the setting I use.
Once the device is powered on you then simply move the silicone little
tabs around on your face for one minute. You can also turn the device
over for thicker silicone tabs for your t-zone/oily spots for a deeper
cleanse.
You do this for about one minute, and simply rinse your face off.
The Verdict:
After just one use, I could immediately feel a difference. My skin had
felt cleaner than it ever had, and my skin was left baby bottom soft!
My face had a slight tingling sensation after using it, but that was
likely due to the vibrations of the device. The feeling was delightful
though, no complaints whatsoever!
The best part about it though was that the small silicone fingers
trapped dirt that normal cleaning would not have gotten. After using the
device on my face for one minute, I could literally see how much dirt
and makeup the silicone fingers had captured, and I thought that my face
was already clean!
It was a deep clean feeling, unlike you could ever experience using just standard hand washing of your face.
I was immediately impressed, and what I really liked was that the
super soft clean feeling did not just vanish after a few moments. My
skin was left feeling totally renewed after just one, one minute session
with the Luna Mini.
After One Week:
After one week of using the Luna Mini twice a day my skins texture
overall is softer, I have yet to experience a breakout, blemish or
malfunction with my skin since. I am prone to breakouts too, so waking
up and not finding a new pimple or zit on my face is a very nice
feeling.
The one con I noticed about it however is that my skin on my forehead
is normally shiny/oily. The Foreo Luna Mini did not really do all that
much to subside that shine. Although there is no more oil than usual, I
would have truly loved it to eliminate this issue all together.
Why It is Better Than The Clarisonic:
I find that the Foreo Luna Mini is better than the Clarisonic because
it is not as abrasive to the skin, and even those with the most
sensitive skin will not be bothered using it. It uses silicone fingers
that can be easily cleaned over and over again, and there is no need to
purchase replacement brushes. This alone saves a whole pile of money
over time.
Overall:
The Foreo Luna Mini may be a pricey little device, but it is truly
worth its weight in gold. This is my go to device every time I wash my
face now, and I cannot see myself without it. I am such a believer just
one week into use that I am ordering it's big sister shortly to see if
it works better than the Mini.
