The ageing process may be inevitable but there are currently some fantastic alternatives to the needle – specialist anti-ageing options that are safer, less invasive and, more importantly, reversible.
Enter the Luna devices from the Swedish skincare company Foreo: innovative hand-held devices that combine a cleansing and anti-ageing mode and promise a youthful complexion without needles, pain or post-operative swelling.
Skin is made up of two main layers: the outer layer, the epidermis, and the inner layer, the dermis. With the use of high- and low-frequency T-Sonic waves (transdermal sonic pulsations) that reach the dermal layer of the skin, Luna helps to eradicate dirt, oil and make-up residue, while relaxing facial muscles and promoting cell renewal – all the while conditioning the skin and improving the absorption of your favourite skincare products.
Perfect for those on the move, the beautifully designed and easy-to-use device is made from 100 per cent waterproof and non-porous silicone, offering a more gentle and hygienic alternative to the standard, fibrous facial brushes. Also available from the brand is a model for men, designed specifically to provide a closer, smoother shave, while driving out the skin’s impurities and helping to prevent razor burn.
If you want to up the ante, there’s a Luna luxe model that includes a 20-carat gold base and four-zone brush surface for women’s skin, while men have the option of a platinum base.
Foreo products are now available exclusively at Beyond Beauty in the Beauty Department on Level 1 of Harvey Nichols in Mall of the Emirates, Dubai. Prices start from Dh900.
