Anyone else dealing with terrible skin after having a baby? I feel like with all of the hormones of pregnancy and childbirth, my skin has been through the ringer. I’ve tried a lot of things over the past few months (facials, special treatments, masks, etc.) but have not found anything that really works.
I was thrilled when Nu Skin, a Utah based skincare company, asked if I wanted to test out their new ageLOC LumiSpa. It’s a device that reminds me a lot of a Clarisonic- but better. I had high hopes it would help my skin.
Instead of having a brush on the end, it has textured silicone that moves in different directions to massage the skin. It is super convenient because you can use it in the shower. I was nervous it might hurt, but the device actually turns off automatically if you push too hard against your skin.
My favorite part? The smell of the cleanser & how my face felt afterward
My least favorite part? Having to charge the device. It’s a necessary evil, just a bummer when it runs out of juice.
Does it work? Yes. My skin has been a disaster since I got pregnant and now breastfeeding it is really dry, but also sensitive. This did not agitate my skin, it actually exfoliated and made it feel much more even and soft. And the smell of the cleanser, oh my gosh, I want them to make it in a perfume. It’s so good! It’s definitely a splurge at $199, but that’s also the same price as Clarisonic, and I feel like this works better and will last longer.
The cleansers use Nu Skin’s propriety blend of ageLOC ingredients, the brand’s hero line to target signs of aging, with natural ingredients like Japanese knotweed, pomegranate extract and milk thistle. Another key differentiator, the treatment heads are embedded with antimicrobial silver, for a much more hygienic clean than other brushes on the market. So… I have been using it for a few weeks and am definitely going to keep it in my skincare rotation.
