Are FOREO Cleansing Brushes really worth the money?

I am one of those people who like to go gentle with their skincare because of this bloody sensitive skin for which everything (from products to technique) have to be PERFECT. If not, our skin breaks out leaving us with no choice but to go back to basics.

My skin is prone to congestion around t-zone which makes me want to try cleansing brushes on these areas to remove any impurities out of my pores. I have tried some cleansing brushes in the past – few were successful but others felt like they were too harsh on my skin and almost peeled top layer of my skin (I know it sounds horrible!).

I tried 2 cleansing devices from FOREO (one of them was gifted to me by LookFantastic (here) early this year and the other was gifted by FOREO team. I have tried both of these enough to share my opinions with you.

FOREO LUNA mini 2 | £119 : A facial-cleansing device designed to provide a professional standard of skincare with its invigorating one-minute ritual. The perfect cleansing device to prep your skin before applying makeup, removing up to 95% of Oil, dirt and impurities from the skin. And when the day is done, LUNA mini 2 deeply cleanses to ensure that no trace of makeup is left behind!

FOREO LUNA mini 2 Features:

• Enhanced 3-zone facial cleansing brush with gentle silicone touch points for all skin types:
• Thinner touch-points gently cleanse sensitive and normal skin, thicker touch-points for precision cleansing; and broader touch-points on the reverse side cater to oilier skin.
• T-Sonic™ technology channels 8000 pulsations a minute to deeply cleanse the skin, lifting away dead skin cells and removing 99.5% of dirt, oil plus makeup residue
• Gently yet effectively cleanses and exfoliates, helping to unclog pores and lift away dirt, oil and blemish-inducing impurities
• Hypoallergenic, body-safe and non-porous silicone is easy to clean and prevents bacteria build-up
• 35X more hygienic than nylon cleansing brushes
• No replacement brush heads required
• 8 adjustable speed intensities for a customised cleansing experience
• Lightweight, easy to travel with lockable controls
• 100% waterproof for use in the bath or shower
• 1 hour USB charge lasts up to 300 uses
• 2-Year Limited Warranty and a 10-Year Quality Guarantee

I absolutely love the fact that this brush is rechargeable with the help of cable provided. Different speed intensities and no requirement of replacement brush heads makes it a winner. I can imagine nylon brushes getting really dirty and could do more harm than good! The slicone brush makes it easy to clean and prevents any bacteria build-up too. It is not bulky or heavy either. The device is available from FOREO UK, Selfridges, Harrods & John Lewis.

FOREO LUNA Play | £29 : If anyone loves Foreo devices, they would love to invest in this mini but mighty cleansing brush which is great for travelling. This is an ultra-portable facial-cleansing device designed to provide a professional standard of skincare with its invigorating one-minute ritual.

• Suitable for all skin types
• Travel-friendly size – same size as a cotton pad
• Hypoallergenic, body-safe and non-porous silicone is easy to clean and prevents bacteria build-up
• 2-Year Limited Warranty and a 10-Year Quality Guarantee

This is the perfect introductory product for FOREO beginners, the travel-sized device is the smallest in the range and offers up to 100 uses. I took mine to India recently and this device literally saved my skin from breakouts. It cleans pollution, impurities, makeup and exfoliates any dead skin to reveal clean and healthy skin.

If you’re investing in just one thing this month, I would say get FOREO cleansing device (LUNA mini 2 or LUNA play) depending upon your preference and budget. These devices are definitely worth every single penny!

Until next time, Ashh xo
