DIY: this is the treatment for your skin after a day in the sun
Suddenly there was a small dark spot on my cheek under my left eye, it was sun damage that I probably got years ago when I didn't protect my skin very well. What am I saying? Actually, I didn't protect it at all. Oops. It's another sign for me that my skin is not harmless and that I need to take good care of it. This naturally includes the right protection, every single day, because did you know that research has shown that more than 40 percent do not apply sunscreen when going outside? Towards the terrace, for example. And then more than 50 percent forget to take any sun protection with them at all.
In addition to protecting your skin, it is also important to cleanse it well after a day in the sun, as there is still much to gain there. I have been using the FOREO LUNA 3 in light pink. The device cleanses my skin in one minute using specially developed pulsations. Now, one minute may sound long, but I do it in the shower and I usually stand there for longer than a minute. I simply apply my cleanser to the silicone device and start the program that I previously personalized via the FOREO app. Every now and then, I press the button on the back to turn the program on again because it feels so nice. After such a cleansing, I am sure that my sunscreen has been completely removed from my skin. I always have the feeling that something remains after showering because an SPF is often ‘water-resistant’. Very handy, of course, when you go swimming, but less handy when you want to have clean skin again. Now I am sure that no residues are left behind, LUNA 3 promises to remove 99.51% of all dirt from the skin.
Those nice little ears
I always find drying my skin after showering such a hassle, so I wrap my towel around my body and start taking care of my skin: just as easy. First things first, I apply a serum that perfectly matches the BEAR (I probably don't need to explain to you why this cute little device is called BEAR ). It's really about the ‘ears’. You go over your face and neck where you applied the serum, because that combination ensures that microcurrents train the muscles in my face and neck by stimulating them. This prevents and reduces fine lines, wrinkles, and your skin feels a lot firmer right away. This takes about three minutes in total, which is also exactly the time my body is almost dry, so that's a win-win situation. By the way, the serum also provides a hydration boost thanks to the hyaluronic acid it contains, and we all need that in the summer.
Moving on to the UFO
If I have really spent the whole day in the sun, I always feel a bit guilty towards my skin. Then I take an extra two minutes for an intensive facial treatment. I don't even have to leave the house for this, because I just grab the UFO 2 from FOREO . This little device is really amazing and works super easily. The UFO 2 (it really looks like a UFO) has LED light therapy in many colors, including yellow and green, or the colors that a dermatologist uses to reduce spots and impurities. In addition to light therapy, the device also includes cryotherapy. Sounds very complicated, but this cools your skin, which also helps reduce visible pores and calms the skin. It works very simply: choose a FOREO sheet mask that suits your skin and select it in the app. The UFO 2 then automatically starts the treatment that brings out the best from the ingredients of the chosen mask, so that it gives the best results for your skin. My favorite is the Manuka Honey Mask, but you can also (especially after a day in the sun) go for the Cannabis Seed Oil or the Green Tea mask, which restore your skin and give a hydration boost.
All three FOREO devices can be connected to your app and can be fully personalized to the program that suits you. I really think it's an invention, and that summer glow has never looked so beautiful.
