CLAIRE SPREADBURY gets to grips with the Foreo UFO, which promises spa-level skincare in a minute-and-a-half
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.
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 to help achieve soft, glowing skin, while the night-time mask replenishes and smooths skin while you sleep.
To use the device, remove the attachment ring from the UFO, place the sheet mask over the top, and replace the ring to secure it. Press the on button (once for Make My Day, twice for Call It A Night) and the UFO goes to work.
WHAT DOES IT FEEL LIKE?
USING the device is incredibly easy – you just move it around your face (skin should be clean and dry) using circular motions until the UFO turns itself off. You feel different sensations, depending on which therapy is being used, from vibrations to heat, but it all feels lovely and comfortable.
DOES THE UFO DELIVER RESULTS?
THE answer is ‘yes’. To be fair, you’d be pretty miffed if it didn’t, as a UFO will set you back £249. But the fact it can give your complexion a boost in just 90 seconds is impressive – not to mention massively efficient.
