HOW FOREO BEAR HELPED MY SKIN RECOVER FROM JETLAG
I recently made a
life changing decision. Move to another
country.
Migrating to a
first world country is not always all peaches and cream. From the nitty-gritty process of it all down
to fitting 33 years of my life in 2 suitcases.
The stress of leaving my home for a new country permanently wreaked
havoc for me emotionally, psychologically and physically.
Stress affects
our skin greatly. When our body
experiences stress, it releases cortisol and adrenaline causing our skin to
produce oil in the skin glands which then causes clogged pores and
breakouts. Our skin shows the first
signs of change in our health status. It
manifests through breakouts, undereye circles, flaky skin, sagging, redness, or
worse, all of the aforementioned.
My flight took 21
hours, not counting the lay overs, mad rush from gate to gate and waiting in
airports for our next flight. I believe
it took me a total of 24 hours to finally reach my final destination. For those who travel for long periods of
time, you are familiar with how sitting in cramped spaces is so uncomfortable
along with moving around in small restrooms wherein freshening up is not always
a delight. What made my skin suffer the
most was the dry air in the plane. I
barely had the time to get comfortable in my seat, much more care for my face. I found myself constantly rubbing and
scratching my skin and I know that I have to deal with the repercussions sooner
than later.
I arrived in my
new home with pale, dry, flaky and a bit of a saggy skin. I tried applying my serums and moisturizers for
a quick hydrating fix but every time I wash my face, it clearly shows that it
was not enough. The time difference
between the United States and the Philippines is totally polarized, literally
like night and day. Not only was my skin
affected due to the long travel, I also suffered from jetlag so my sleep
pattern was also disrupted. I would wake
up in the wee hours of the night and sleep during the day. Jetlag along with dry
conditions was a sure recipe for a skin disaster. I can clearly see that I aged
a lot specially with my sagging cheeks.
Feeling
frustrated, I immediately dug through my luggage for what was my last hope in
rescuing my current woeful skin condition.
Yes, I traveled a transatlantic flight and all my FOREO products came
with me. FOREO makes their products very
portable that I did not have a problem taking them with me in my hand carry.
I ran back with
my gadgets in my arms and put my faith on my arsenal of FOREO devices
specifically, my FOREO UFO, Luna Play Plus, and FOREO BEAR.
I decided to do a
DIY Facial on my skin.
I took a deep breath and put my FOREO to its most challenging test yet for me.
BEAR by FOREO vs Problematic Skin
1. Do It Yourself
Facial
Since I just
arrived in the United States and I know that facials here are expensive
compared to the Philippines, I am so relieved that I can have my own best
version of facial at home. The microcurrent that I experience while using BEAR
by FOREO is exactly like the expensive facial treatments that uses microcurrent
back in the Philippines.
Did you know that
other people do a pre-flight facial in order to help skin recover from jetlag
better? Having this BEAR with me makes it very convenient for me to have a
facial treatment anytime in the comforts of my new home.
The microcurrents and pulsation from the BEAR by FOREO will surely make you feel energized and recharged even after a long flight.
2. Working Out of
Facial Muscles
I continuously
used my BEAR to combat my sagging and sore facial muscles in hopes that I will
have a longer effect of a toned, firm, and tighter skin.
This time, I was
able to increase the intensity of the currents after I got used to using FOREO
BEAR. That is what I love with FOREO devices, it can easily be controlled with
just an App. The versatility and
customizable features of their devices make their products a staple in skin
care for me.
It has been almost
a year since I first tried out FOREO BEAR in 2020, and it generally helped in
maintaining the elasticity of my skin and its contour. Just to share, it is
known to provide “facial fitness” - a portable device that delivers
microcurrent and T-Sonic pulsations targeting more than 65 muscles of our face
and neck!
Though my skin
looked bad compared to last year because of the stress and jetlag, check out
the contours of my face that the FOREO BEAR was able to maintain and actually improve.
(See photo comparison of the aftermath of first FOREO BEAR use compared to almost a year later of use even during my jetlag.)
3. Skin Hydrated with FOREO Serum Serum Serum
Travelling by plane makes our skin dry because of the low humidity. Enduring that for 21 hours will surely make any skin suffer - that is why moisturizing the skin during jetlag is important.
BEAR by FOREO Sweden has a serum that works in conjunction with it called Serum Serum Serum. The serum uses the antioxidant power of squalene and hydrating hyaluronic acid to firm, renew, and replenish the skin. The combination of the pulsations and serum will definitely jumpstart a tired and weary skin.
Remember that a serum is always the better choice for parched skin compared to ordinary cream moisturizers.
Oh! Lest I forget, FOREO released a new color for their BEAR. It is now available in BEAR MINT color. If this is your favorite color, then take it as a sign to get your own FOREO BEAR!
The FOREO Sweden App is also updated featuring more features and details added like the Device information, How To Use, Device Care, Finding Device, Treatments, and Settings.
Included in the update, there are three new treatments in using the FOREO BEAR. The three new treatments include:
1. TOTAL FACIAL KNOCKOUT
This treatment's duration is 2.5 minutes challenging you with a high intensity facial muscles workout for an overall toned and sculpted complexion. Total Facial Knockout starts with application of serum. Workout of facial muscles starts from the cheeks to cheekbone area then the forehead. Afterwards, the workout will continue on the neck area and the V-shape of the face.
This treatment covers all of the areas of the face.
2. CONTOUR CARDIO
The duration for this treatment is 2.1 minutes with a high intensity workout for an overall toned and sculpted complexion. The treatment starts with the application of FOREO Serum Serum Serum followed by application of BEAR exercise on around the mouth area. Last workout is the muscles from cheeks to cheekbone area.
3. GENTLE V-SHAPE YOGA
With a duration of 2.5 minutes, challenge yourself with high intensity workout for an overall toned and sculpted complexion. This treatment starts by spending almost a minute of microcurrent and T-sonic pulsations on neck area followed by the contour from chin to the end of jaw.
You just need to download initially these three treatments then you are good to go! Each treatment starts with application of FOREO Serum Serum Serum. Depending on the treatment that you choose, it targets different parts of your face. For me though, my favorite is the Total Facial Knockout because it covers the overall toning and sculpting of my face.
Cheers to a new life and healthier, better, glowing skin!
