What on earth is that? It was the thing that I caught my eye when I stepped into the Sephora store. Of course, I didn't buy it as it is this strange looking stuff that you are supposed to wash your face.
I researched it on the internet when I got home and wow! Every review (except one) I read loves it! Since it is in the face cleansing gadget area where Clarisonic reigns supreme, I also read all the relevant Foreo Luna Mini vs Clarisonic Mia reviews. I was fascinated that Luna Mini was preferred by many of Clarisonic Mia's die hard fans.
I have been toying with the idea of buying a Clarisonic Mia for a long time (like 1+ years!). Just in case you have not seen one before, here is what it looks like.
It was quite strange but it took me less than a day to be convinced that I should buy the Foreo Luna Mini.Click on this link for the 4 reasons why I bought the Foreo Luna Mini instead of Clarisonic Mia.
The Foreo Luna Mini is really fun to use and feels really good. The T-sonic pulsation helps massage and deep cleanse the face. I find myself cleaning my face more diligently. My experience is much better using the Luna Mini in the shower. Maybe it is the cleanser that I am using, the one in the bathroom has more foam and there is no concern if I splash all over. My face feels very clean after that.
How to use
It is really simple, just take it out of the box, charge it for 1 hour (and that is good for 300 uses) and wash with soap and water before using it on your face with facial cleansing soap. Press the button once, start from your chin and move it up your right cheek, avoiding the eye area. The pulsations will pause for a while, signaling that it is time to change to the other side, move from chin up to left cheek. Next move right from the centre of your forehead to the right, and then from the centre to the left. After which, you can hold the luna mini on the side and move up and down the nose area. Press the button again now to slow down the pulsation and use it around the eye area. For me, I skip that since my eye area is quite sensitive but I use the lower pulsation round for my neck area, moving the luna mini upwards from my neck to my chin.

Verdict
After using for it for a week, I still love washing my face with the Luna Mini. My face feels cleaner, softer, smoother and looks somewhat brighter. I definitely recommend it to my friends and family. Try it and let me know if it works for you.

It has been a month since I starting using Foreo Luna Mini and I absolutely loved it. I had some really late nights (staying up till 4-5 am) and usually, my face would look quite tired the next day. However, by using the Foreo Luna Mini twice a day, I could not even tell that I stayed up the night before. That was pretty amazing. My skin is definitely smoother and softer. I love it and look forward to using it every day!
