I wrote about FOREO bringing their revolutionary facial cleansing devices to our shores last October (read about it HERE). From the first time I spotted this beauty tool on YouTube I was intrigued. It looks completely different to all the other facial cleansers I’ve seen.

Here is a little teaser that FOREO posted on Youtube which also gives you an idea on how it’s used:

Foreo Luna Review

The Foreo Luna makes use of T-Sonic™ Technology whereby up to 8000 pulsations per minute are channelled through the silicone touch-points. These pulsations are said to remove dead skin, unclog pores of 99.5% of dirt and oil and remove 98.5% of make-up residue. The Luna also sports an anti-ageing mode whereby lower-frequency pulsations are directed through the concentric silicone waves on the reverse side of the brush onto wrinkle-prone areas which assists in smoothing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

The verdict

At first I really thought that this device was going to be way too gentle and that it would not do much, but it really took my cleansing routine to a new level. My skin feels soft and smooth and looks clean and clear after every use. I use it every day and my skin appreciates the deep cleanse even on the most sensitive of days.

The Foreo Luna fits comfortably in my hand and is an absolute pleasure to use. It felt a bit strange when I used it around my nose for the first time as the pulsations were a bit strong (it tickled and made me want to sneeze), but with the Luna you can set the pulsations to different speeds so I just dialled it down a notch. I love that you aren’t just stuck with just an on-and-off option. The Foreo Luna also has a built-in timer to guide you during the cleansing and anti-ageing mode.

I was a bit stressed at first about using this expensive device in the shower but it has proven to be 100% waterproof.

One of my favourite features of this product is the fact that you can get up to 450 uses per full charge. I have only charged it once since receiving it 3 months ago and I have not noticed any change in the effectiveness of the device. That is one hell of a pro.

Another huge selling point is the fact that you don’t need to replace any parts… no replacement heads! If you look after your device it will literally last you a lifetime.

FOREO’s LUNA™ skincare range (which includes the LUNA™, the LUNA™ Mini and LUNA™ for Men) is available online from Zando. The LUNA™ retails for R2 790.

Yes, the FOREO LUNA is expensive, but if you take all of the above into account, I can’t see any reason not to invest. And this is an investment… an investment in yourself and your skin. If you do one thing for yourself this year, I highly recommend that you get yourself a FOREO LUNA™. Valentine’s Day is around the corner ;)
