FOREO LUNA 4 BALANCED SKIN REVIEW

Image
Hi, babes! Emma here, and get ready for your mind to be blown because today I’m going to introduce you to… drumroll, please… the Foreo LUNA 4 Balanced Skin cleansing device. Buckle up, my sweets, and prepare to be amazed.  First off, I’m really happy that they’ve called it for balanced skin instead of normal. What is normal in skincare, anyway? It doesn’t exist. And, oh my, look at that colour? The physical appearance is quite similar to the LUNA 3, but the LUNA 4 provides some functionalities that the previous version doesn’t. As a proud owner of both versions, I will be introducing you to the differences between these two cleansing devices.

It is a component that aids in attracting moisture to the skin's surface and holds onto water to prevent the skin from rapidly drying out.

SKIN-LOVING COMBOS: THE PAIRINGS THAT WILL ENSURE BETTER SKIN

Image
Hi, babes! Emma here, and let's keep it short and sweet today as we discuss the best skincare pairings!  When it comes to creating the ideal skincare routine, some science is involved... Did you know that there are many pairs of skincare compounds that may be combined, matched, and layered without triggering adverse reactions?  While there are some combos that should never be considered, some pairs just work better together, like fine wine and cheese.  Scroll on down to meet the skincare duos that work best together. HYALURONIC ACID + AHAS/BHAS Hyaluronic acid is one of the few substances that is extremely gentle and effective on all skin types, despite having a frightening-sounding name. Hyaluronic acid is an effective humectant that attracts moisture into the skin and locks it in. Because AHAs and BHAs (such as glycolic, lactic, and salicylic acids) exfoliate the skin and open up pores, they make space for moisture. SPF + VITAMIN C In order to strengthen the skin's defe...
