The skincare or skin care It is something that worries men and women of all ages, especially when we are celebrating our birthdays. In my case, turning 35 made me seriously consider my skin care, since the years pass for everyone and until then I had no clear facial care routine except for cleansing and moisturizing.
For this, I informed myself through publications, videos, co-workers specialists in the world beauty and all that I had within my reach to form a routine that is right for me and that, I can proudly say, that I strictly follow every day. This, within my #40yEstupenda challenge, is helping me to have better skin than ever before.
But, of course, although I am clear about my routine and have been able to find what works for my skin, there is always room for improvement and for try new products and ingredients that can help me even more to continue taking care of my face properly.
On this occasion I have been able to test for more than a month two devices from the Swedish brand Foreo, an old acquaintance for me, since I use their Luna device daily (I must say that with very good results) with two very different functions: Foreo Iris 2for the care of the eye contour, and Foreo Swordfor the treatment of acne.
Testing Foreo Espada: a solution for punctual pimples
Since adolescence I have had somewhat conflictive skin in relation to acne that meant going to the dermatologist to solve the happy pimples and blackheads that have affected so many of us during that age. Currently, and thanks to finding a suitable facial routine for my skin and strictly following it daily, I have managed to minimize pimples remarkablylimiting its appearance to a few days depending on my menstrual cycle.
To treat these specific pimples, and also to reduce the appearance of some small white pimples that appear in the chin area, I have tried the device for a few weeks Foreo Espada, designed to combat and prevent the appearance of acne, and to treat pimples. It does this through T-Sonic pulsations, which help regulate sebum, and the use of blue LED light, which reduces inflammation.
I have used this device in two different ways: on the one hand, in a timely manner for pimples that appear due to the menstrual cycle, combined with tea tree oil, which helps them dry faster. In this case, I have noticed that when using the Foreo Espada on the granite in question (it has a light that acts as a guide so you know exactly where to place the device) the granite visibly reduces inflammation and, if I manage not to touch it, it heals soon.
On the other hand, I have used Foreo Espada in the chin area to try to eliminate the white pimples that appear in this area, together with my night routine, about three nights a week. In this case, yes I have seen improvement, but not the complete disappearance of the pimples; Likewise, the inflammation has reduced a lot and the area is visibly better, but the pimples have not completely disappeared.
In conclusion: it seems to me interesting device to include occasionally in our routine skincare, since it gives good results with pimples that appear sporadically. If there is a generalized acne problem, of course, it is best to consult with our dermatologist so that he can prescribe the appropriate treatment.
You can get the Foreo Espada device on the Foreo website for 159 euros. Also, if you buy on their website you can use the code FOREO10INF to get an additional 10% discount.
Testing Foreo Iris 2: complete care for the eye contour
We already know that the eye contour is one of the most delicate areas of the face, since the skin is thinner in this area and requires special care and hydration. Likewise, it is also a very grateful area, since we can achieve a great improvement in our expression if we take care of it properly.
Foreo Iris 2 is the Foreo device specially designed to take care of the eye contour area. With a curious design, similar to a kind of loop, and made of hygienic silicone, Foreo Iris 2 uses T-Sonic pulsations that improve blood circulation in this area and help relax the muscles. It is charged via USB and a single charge can last around four months (about 150 uses, assuming we use it once a day).
Personally, I have always used a light manual massage when applying the eye contour. Using this Foreo device is a very nice professional massage experience to which I think it is worth spending a couple of minutes every morning. In addition, we can regulate the intensity of the massage and choose whether or not to use the T-Sonic pulsations.
I have used Foreo Iris 2 both with high-end creams (Germaine de Capuccini eye contour) and with formulations low cost (5% caffeine solution + ECGC from The Ordinary) and yes I have noticed, in both cases, that the device ensures that the product is better absorbedthus increasing its effect.
Another advantage of using this device is that the light massage it exerts on the eye contour helps the area to reduce inflammation by promoting blood circulation: in this way, I have been able to see a great improvement of the “just woken up face” after using Foreo Iris 2.
As with everything related to skincare, The key to achieving good results will always be our perseverance when using different devices or formulations. In this case, integrating the Foreo Iris 2 into my morning routine has been very simple since it is a step that does not require more than a minute (we already know that in the mornings none of us have extra time) and it is also very pleasant. Receiving a small massage in the area first thing in the morning is a very pleasant sensation, and if it also helps us take care of our skin, it is a win-win.
In conclusion: Foreo Iris 2 is an ideal complement to our routine of skincare daily. Personally, I already have it fully integrated into my morning routine, and yes, I have seen satisfactory results in the care of the eye contour areaachieving a more awake look, thanks to having the area less swollen, and better hydration by better absorbing the product.
