UFO mask is an out of this world experience
BY CLAIRE SPREADBURY FOREO’S new UFO – which stands for Ur Future Obsession – is the world’s first smart mask.
Using specially formulated sheet masks and a good-looking gadget, the UFO delivers LED light therapy with cryotherapy, thermotherapy and T-Sonic pulsations. Your facial is complete in just 90 seconds.
The devices were used at Victoria Beckham’s autumn-winter show at New York Fashion Week. Models backstage were primed and prepped for the catwalk using the UFO. SO, HOW DOES IT WORK? There are two sheet masks available for the UFO – the Make My Day and Call It A Night. The daytime option contains a hydrating and anti-pollution formula, while the night-time mask replenishes and smooths skin while you sleep.
To use the device, you remove the attachment ring from the UFO, place the small, round sheet mask over the top, and then replace the ring to secure it. Then you press the on button and the UFO goes to work. WHAT DOES IT FEEL LIKE? Using the device is incredibly easy. You move it around your face (skin should be clean and dry) using circular motions until the UFO turns itself off.
You feel a series of different sensations, depending on which therapy is being used – from vibrations to heat – but it all feels lovely and comfortable.
Once the 90 seconds are up, you can dispose of your sheet mask, hold the UFO under running water then use your fingers to pat any remaining essence into your skin until it’s fully absorbed. Then use your normal moisturiser. DOES THE UFO DELIVER RESULTS? Yes. But you’d be pretty miffed if it didn’t, as a UFO will set you back £249.
The fact it can give your complexion a boost in just 90 seconds is very impressive. Finding the time to “pop on” a face mask is rare, but when it’s this quick and easy, anybody can do it. ● Foreo UFO is available in fuchsia, mint and pearl pink, foreo.com WHEN Rebecca Young discovered her boyfriend’s dead body, she didn’t want to go on living. She was just 19 when she came home from work to find the teenager had taken his own life. In the weeks that followed, she turned to alcohol to block out not only her pain at his death but also the guilt she felt at not being able to save him.

“But now I can see I just needed help to come to terms with what had happened – that it was just too much for me to get my head around on my own.
“Child Bereavement UK actually saved my life, and now I want to help them support others.”
