I seriously love my job.<\/strong> <\/span><\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

Sure, I get to work alongside some genuinely amazing people, but the perk people envy most when they hear about my job at FOREO is my role as unofficial product tester. And although I can\u2019t blame them, trust me: it\u2019s not always easy to keep new developments under wraps! Such was the case when I got to test-drive FOREO\u2019s newest beauty-tech gadget: the mysteriously named UFO<\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n

Some background: this one\u2019s been in development since before I even joined, around four years in total. From the very beginning, UFO was intended as a multifunctional skincare device for delivering spa-level therapies and facials at home. <\/span> <\/i><\/p>\n

Fast-forward to the present, and I\u2019m so proud to report that UFO is even better than I\u2019d imagined! <\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And judging by feedback from tech-heads, visionaries and thought leaders at this year\u2019s CES in Las Vegas where UFO was finally unleashed, I\u2019m not alone. Currently in production and slated for shipping in April, UFO is going to change everything. Before that, though, MYSA editors asked me to share my experience of test-driving UFO\u2026 <\/span><\/p>\n

My Experience with UFO<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Right now, UFO is compatible with lots of different treatments which correspond to FOREO’s UFO-activated circular microfibre face masks. But the best part is that you can use the UFO app<\/a> to completely customize your experience and facials! For now, I\u2019ll share my thoughts about the \u2018Make My Day\u2019 treatment.<\/span><\/p>\n

Its active ingredients look very promising indeed – in particular, hyaluronic acid for hydration, and antioxidant-rich red algae extract. <\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Rather than apply direct to the face as you would a conventional sheet mask, the discs fit neatly onto UFO\u2019s gold-plated application surface, before being clipped with a snug-fitting plastic ring.<\/span><\/p>\n

Make My Day<\/strong><\/h3>\n

For all of its space-age technology, UFO is remarkably easy to use: to activate the \u2018Make My Day\u2019 treatment, just press the on button once. This particular mask starts with a 30-second blast of Thermo-Therapy, with that gold-plated applicator quickly heating up to a comfortable 50\u00b0C. It feels pleasant on the skin, and the heat and concurrent red LED light<\/a> opens pores to maximize absorption of those active ingredients. <\/span><\/p>\n

Next comes 30 seconds of FOREO\u2019s trademark T-Sonic Pulsations<\/a>, pushing the mask\u2019s beneficial essences deep below the skin\u2019s surface. More relaxing still is the final half-minute therapy: low-frequency pulsations plus green LED light<\/a> (good for pigmentation and boosting radiance!)<\/span><\/p>\n

It feels great – not just on the skin, but also to hold (hello, silky-soft silicone!). I\u2019m also impressed that such a diminutive device can do so much in just 90 short seconds. <\/span><\/p>\n

But how does my skin look? Pretty fantastic, if I do say so myself!<\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Like many, my skin\u2019s generally not at its best first thing in the morning. It\u2019s blotchy, dull-looking and my under-eye bags puffy<\/a>. UFO fixed all of that – I\u2019m positively peachy! \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Call it a Night<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The second mask, \u2018Call it a Night,\u2019 contains ginseng and olive oil<\/a> for a nourishing evening-time treat. Activated slightly differently from its daytime counterpart, constant red LED light helps boost elasticity, with heat plus pulsations once again driving the mask\u2019s active ingredients into the skin (a process we\u2019re calling Hyper Infusion Therapy). Again, it feels lovely, and at just 90 seconds per treatment, is a realistic routine when all I want to do is hit the hay\u2026 <\/span><\/p>\n

After one week of twice-daily use, I\u2019m forced to reluctantly surrender my prototype UFO – unfortunately before getting to test-drive other features like cooling cryotherapy and blue LED light. I\u2019d never been a fan of face masks – I\u2019m far too fidgety for the sheet kind (staying still for 20 minutes isn\u2019t my idea of fun\u2026), and find clay types too messy. But UFO is a revelation, and I can honestly say my skin has never looked better.<\/span><\/p>\n

Like I said, I love my job. Thanks FOREO!<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
