How to Use the Foreo Luna

No matter how many serums you use or how expensive your moisturizer is — if you don’t clean your face properly, you will never get perfect skin.

As cleaning is the most important step, investing in a sonic cleaning device like FOREO Luna is always a good idea. 

This waterproof device removes up to 99% of dirt and oil deep from your pores and gives you brighter, tighter, and glowing skin within a week.

Here’s A Simple 7-Steps to Use Your Foreo Luna

Charge the Luna:

Before you start cleaning your face, charge your Foreo Luna. if it’s the first time you are using one of the Luna devices, then charging for a few hours is necessary. 

Gently insert the USB cable into your Luna’s charging pot. It will take approximately 1 hour to finish. When it’s done charging, an LED light will emit a steady glow. 

Prep Your Skin:

You need to prepare your skin for cleaning. This means if you are wearing makeup, use mild micellar water to gently remove them all. 

Wet your skin with lukewarm water and apply your favorite face wash or cleanser. You don’t need a lot, just apply your regular amount. 

Turn the Luna On!:

Here comes the fun part. Turn our Foreo Luna on by clicking the main power button. This will activate the cleansing mode. 

You will see two buttons with + and - sign. These will help you to adjust the speed of the sonic pulsation.

The cleansing mode remembers your previous preference. This means you don’t have to readjust every time you use this device. 

Massage and Clean:

When the pulsation starts, gently hold it against your chin and work in an upward motion towards your ear. Then go back to your cheek to around the nose. This motion helps to tighten the skin.

Repeat this process on either side as well. For your forehead, use circular motions that go upwards. 

You can experiment with your Foreo Luna to find the perfect rhythm that works for you. Keep in mind all of these steps are customizable. 

Each section should take 15 seconds to clean. After 15 seconds, the timer will beep to let you know it's time to move on to a new area of your face.

You can use it to clean your neck as well. It gives you a nice massaging sensation.  

Wash Your Face:

Put the Foreo Luna on standby mode by pressing the main button again. Then rinse your face with cold water to close all the pores. 

You can use a microfiber towel to dry your face. They are more gentle than standard towels. 

Activate Anti-aging Mode:

Every Foreo Luna comes with an anti-aging mode. 

To use it first apply your favorite moisturizer. If you are using it at night, apply your night cream. 

Then activate the anti-aging mode and flip the device to its back. You will see some soft ridges and designs made out of silicone. 

Press it gently to your face and let it do its thing until the timer beeps again. 

The T-sonic Pulsation helps to create blood circulation which produces collagen and promotes cell regeneration. 

If you use this mode regularly around your under eye, forehead, and smile lines, you will see a visible change within a few weeks. 

All The Do’s and Don’ts

Don’t keep your Luna around any electric outlet.

Don’t share your Foreo Luna with anyone.  

Don’t use it to remove your makeup. 

Don’t use an oil-based cleanser with it. 

Don’t use it to remove any clay mask or with any clay-based cleanser. 

Use warm water and soap to gently clean your Luna after each use. 

Takeaway

Foreo Luna is a long term investment for your skin and beauty. You get baby soft skin and clear complexion simply by washing your face regularly. 

Getting healthy skin has never been this easy.

T3 Cura vs Cura Luxe Hair Dryers: Which One’s for Your Hair?

Here’s the thing: not all hair dryers are created in the same way! And believe it or not, some are better than others. 

And if we are talking about the best hairdryers in the market, we need to mention the T3 Cura and Cura Luxe Hair Dryers. These are two of the most popular hair dryers in the market, and they come with their differences. 

Ready to find out what these are? 

Let’s get started! 

The Story in Short

Here’s a brief overview of each of the two hair dryers. 

This gem of a hairdryer is one of the fastest hair dryers I have used! If you have long hair, it only takes the Cura T3 about 12 minutes to make it dry to the T.

The best part is that you can choose from three heat settings and adjust the speed accordingly. 

Featuring an ion generator, this white beauty ensures that your hair becomes frizz-free! I’m also unsure how, but it traps the moisture in your hair, leaving it silky. Damaged hair girls, this is your salvation!  

The only aspect that might take some adjusting to is that the buttons are placed in an awkward position. Ergo, when drying your hair, you might accidentally press on them. But, once you are used to it, I’m sure this will not be a problem! 

This one comes in a sleek dry look that leaves you in awe with its performance and looks! Like the regular Cura Hair Dryer, it dries your hair almost three times faster than the others. 

With five heat settings, you can easily adjust this charmer to suit your hair type and length. Besides, it gives your hair a nice feel to it and makes it shinier and healthier! 

Moreover, it comes with an auto-pause feature that pauses the dryer when you move your hand. No, you will not have to input the settings again because this is only a break and not a stoppage! 

The only downside of the Cura Luxe Hair Dryer is its price tag. There’s no arguing as to why the price is high because it is, after all, a premium performing hairdryer. 

Differences

There are no significant differences between the T3 Cura Hair Dryer and Cura Luxe Hair Dryer. The T3 is only a regular version of the Luxe model and comes with the same excellent results. 

The Cura Luxe has two additional heat settings from the three that T3 has. Furthermore, the Luxe has a volume booster, which the T3 lacks to some extent.

The main difference between the two is the auto-pause feature, which the T3 lacks. 

Which One Should You Get?

If you want a more budget-friendly hair dryer that performs exceptionally well even with fewer settings, the T3 is your best buddy. 

Albeit, if the auto-pause feature and two extra settings caught your attention, then there’s nothing better than the Luxe Hair Dryer. It might be high in price, but it’s worth it!

Ablative vs Non-Ablative Laser Resurfacing: What’s the Difference?

Skin rejuvenation tools are a great way to get a healthy glow back in your skin! 

Two of the most famous laser resurfacing treatments are: ablative and non-ablative. 

However, we often get confused about which one does what and today, this article talks about their differences and uses. 

Keep reading to find the best one for you! 

Ablative vs Non-Ablative Laser Resurfacing

Ablative Laser Treatment involves taking off the thin outer layer of your skin while Non-Ablative Laser Treatment heats up the underlying skin without damaging the surface to produce new collagen. 

Let’s look at these from a bit more detailed perspective. 

This type of laser treatment slowly vaporizes the skin surface and fastens collagen production. 

For anyone whose skin has just started showing wrinkles, ablative laser resurfacing can help to a great extent. And the best part is that these signs last for one to five years! 

Nevertheless, for anyone who does not want to go through such laser treatments, we recommend LightStim. It’s easy to use and doesn’t require a professional! 

Ablative lasers aren’t just for wrinkles. If you are someone who has scars from acne or hyperpigmentation, this can work wonders! But, keep in mind that it might take some time to show results, depending on your skin type and the depth of the problem.

That all being said, like all laser treatments, this one has side effects as well. You could notice some redness or swelling, infection, skin color changes, and even scarring. Albeit, these take about one or two weeks to heal and show the real results! 

This type of treatment is far less damaging than ablative skin rejuvenation. Seeping heat deep into the tissue, it doesn’t do anything to the surface of the skin. It works to produce collagen that fills in fine lines, wrinkles and can treat pigmentation as well. 

Since it doesn’t work on the surface, non-ablative skin rejuvenation takes time to show results. The only side effect you might see is some mild redness, but it still allows you to get back to your normal skincare routine in no time! 

Which One Should You Choose?

Of course, you’re still confused. We got you! 

Ablative laser treatments are for those who have signs of aging, deep acne scars or pigmentation, and need faster results. That being said, you should take this only if you can take time off from going out and let your skin recover from the treatment. 

And then there is non-ablative treatment that’s best for moderate wrinkles and pigmentation. Even though this one doesn’t require much time to heal, it takes a few sessions to show results so be prepared for that! 

Outcome

While laser treatments are a fast way to heal skin problems, we should also take time in treating our skin well. 

Use that serum you have always wanted to, slather on some eye cream (the one by Shisheido is a personal favorite), and yes never forget your moisturizer! Above all, make sure you have the right skincare regime for your skin type.
