FOREO Launches New UFO Smart Mask at CES to Revolutionize 2017’s Biggest Beauty Trend
How A Crowdfunding Gamechanger Just Disrupted The Sheet Mask Industry
STOCKHOLM / LAS VEGAS, January 9, 2018: Today, Swedish brand FOREO launched its newest beauty-tech device, the UFO, at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES), Las Vegas, making it available to pre-order in partnership with crowdfunding platform Kickstarter. The FOREO UFO is described as the world’s first smart mask treatment to offer spa-level facial treatments in just 90 seconds, combining LED light therapy with cryo-therapy, thermo-therapy and T-Sonic pulsations activated via your smartphone.
Face masks were 2017’s biggest beauty trend in skincare, officially the category’s number one searched term in Google and accounting for more than 40% of online sales for beauty companies worldwide. With the launch of UFO (Ur Future Obsession), FOREO is aiming to kickstart a face mask revolution, tackling the core issues of limited penetration, poor facial coverage, and the time spent using them.
“Face masks are the guilty pleasure of millions, but is lying under cold, wet sheets of paper the best we can do for 2018?” Paul Peros, FOREO CEO asks. “After 4 years in development, FOREO’s designers and technicians have proven there is a better way. We’re taking the latest professional beauty technologies available - treatments that can cost thousands of dollars - and incorporating them into one UFO device to unleash the full potential of our face masks. The results are literally out of this world!”
The FOREO UFO, (Ur Future Obsession) has been in development and shrouded in secrecy for four years until today, where it was unveiled at CES in booth #43534. The UFO is set to retail at 279 USD while the UFO mini, and entry level design, will retail at 179 USD. For the pre-launch phase on Kickstarter, however, customers can enjoy savings of up to 50% off.
The UFO Features:
  • Utilizes hyper-infusion technology, combining heating to open pores, T-Sonic™ pulsations to instantly infuse active ingredients more deeply into the skin and cryotherapy to seal the active ingredients and firm the skin.
  • Includes a range of LED light therapy treatments to offer three photofacials, including anti-aging (red LED), brightening (green LED) and anti-acne (blue LED)
  • Each treatment incorporates a carefully chosen combination of temperature and pulsation intensity for maximum effect and soothing facial massage
The device works hand in hand with the specially invented UFO-activated sheet masks. These ultra-soft microfiber masks ensure flawless skin from dawn to dusk and each formula pairs with a unique UFO treatment routine designed to give a wake up call, or to help relax when people are ready to call it a night.
UFO-Activated Smart Mask Treatments:
UFO Smart Masks are made from soft micro-fiber infused with plant and fruit extracts, concentrated botanical oils and natural flower water. Each mask is paired with a pre-programmed UFO treatment routine to boost their effects. There are two masks currently available on launch including:
‘Make My Day’ Mask
Features Hyaluronic Acid and Red Algae for deep hydration combined with pollution protection for radiant skin. The UFO treatment begins with 30 seconds of Thermo-Therapy and Red LED light to prep the skin and open the pores. The next 30 seconds integrate T-Sonic Pulsations to heighten the absorption of the mask essence. The final 30 seconds switch to a Green LED treatment and lower frequency pulsations, to even skin tone and add that radiant boost.
‘Call It A Night’ Mask
Features ginseng and olive oil to nourish and revitalize - a formula that replenishes skin overnight. The treatment begins with 30 seconds of higher-frequency T-Sonic pulsations combined with Thermo-Therapy and Red LED light, to infuse the essence beneath the skin's surface. T-Sonic pulsations then switch to a lower frequency, with the Red LED light retained and Thermo-therapy disabled, to focus on enhanced blood circulation and restoring skin's elasticity.
App-operated Features:
The UFO can be paired with the FOREO app to get the most out of the device. While the ‘Make My Day’ and ‘Call It a Night’ masks are pre-programmed into the device, the FOREO app gives access to all future mask treatments. In addition, users can reorder masks with a simple click and unlock UFO's full potential by customizing the intensity of all UFO settings to perfectly suit individuals skincare needs.
The app will be available for iOS and Android and can:
  • Control the intensity of the T-Sonic pulsations
  • Control the light intensity
  • Control the heating/cooling
The UFO has all the mutual benefits expected with a FOREO invention including a medical grade silicone body, plus a 100% waterproof design and USB-charging.
"Kickstarter is the perfect place to reach a community open to a genuine beauty revolution,” says Dalia Fernander, FOREO’s Product Marketing Manager. “To succeed, we're wanting to get UFO into the hands of as many people as possible, which is why we're offering up to 50% off the retail price. This way we hope thousands can experience the results and show the world there is a smarter way to mask!"
The UFO is only available for early bird presale through Kickstarter where early adopters and beauty enthusiasts seeking change and innovation can secure theirs now. The UFO and UFO mini are planned to launch in top retail stores from April, 2018.

7 Little Self Care Tips for Lazy People to Start Today


Before outlining our seven tips to start today, it is important to mention some key points about human psychology and the difference between goals and processes. Many believe that people are creatures of habit and conditioning, and not just at the mercy of their genes. The significance of this is that routines and procedures can be put into place which become habit over time and then further evolve into an everyday part of your lifestyle. With this in mind there are a number of tips and strategies which can be used in order to get more efficient and steadily progress. By performing habits everyday you can build up momentum such that it is eventually just something you do everyday, as opposed to a "task" which has to be completed


The importance of goal setting is mentioned in practically every single self-improvement manual ever written. Put simply if there are no goals then there will be nothing to work towards. Having a goal gives motivation, the anti-thesis to boredom, which gets you out of bed in the morning. One of the main purposes of life is to achieve goals. Lazy people cannot be lazy if they have goals, as goals are what sets lazy people apart from active, motivated people. Write down your goals and all you want to achieve. Sign it with your name. And stick it onto the wall. This means that your goals are now tangible, and you have committed to achieving them.


A process is something that you will do everyday. A lesser known tip is that in order to reach goals you have to set processes. A goal might be to write a Novel. A process might be to write your novel everyday, or to write 1000 words every day. You cannot fail to achieve a goal if you commit to doing processes everyday, as ultimately your goals will be achieved.

7 Little Self Care Tips for Lazy People to Start Today

The following are Seven self care tips for Lazy people. Some might seem obvious at first, however it is important to bear in mind that not everybody has the same levels of motivation or enthusiasm, and everyone is different. Make use of goals, processes and signatures to put the following tips into action and to integrate them as part of a healthy lifestyle.


Tip One – Exercise

Obviously you need your body in top physical condition. Use the goal/process/signature protocol mentioned above to exercise 3-4 times a week minimum. If you are sitting in front of a desk for 8+ hours a day looking at a computer monitor, then stretching is of the utmost importance, as well as fresh air. Exercise outside is best  as nothing can trump fresh air, which will also help you sleep. There are several hit and tips on GGP about how to motivate yourself to work out for extended periods of time.


Tip Two – Unplug

In order to engage in maximum productivity it is best to know how the mind works. Study after study has proven that best results are achieved by 40-50 minutes of focused attention, followed by 10-15 minutes of focused relaxation. Thus even if you feel you could work for longer than 50 minutes it is best to stop for a few minutes, take a few deep breaths, relax completely and utterly and resume work after your relaxation period. Most people actually take their work with them on their break, as their work related thoughts keep replaying in their minds. This is counterproductive. Time off is essential for mental maintenance.


Tip Three – Establish a Healthy Morning Routine

A good breakfast will set you up for the day in terms of what you eat. But a good routine will set you up for the day in all ways. Establish a morning routine which incorporates a period of meditation, eating a healthy breakfast, looking at the goals you need to achieve and saying positive affirmations. This will put you into a positive mind frame for the day instead of just rushing out the door in the mornings in order to beat traffic and make it into work on time.


Tip Four – Skin Care

Skin Care is perhaps the most overlooked area of physical health. The skin is the largest organ in the body. However, little attention is paid to skin care. There are ample opportunities to absorb much needed nutrients through the skin. The shower is completely under utilized and is a prime opportunity to allow vital minerals to soak into your skin. The shower is the ultimate form of skin care. Get an organic, high quality body lotion and just allow it to soak in. Your skin is “eating” the lotion in the same way that the mouth “eats” food. It is also very important to be aware of what types of skin products your skin care regime includes – makeup, sunscreen and hand lotions often contain harmful chemicals. Organic is best.


Tip Five – Eat healthily

This means an increase of fruits and vegetables, and a decrease in animals and animal products. It does not have to be a big deal, you can just give up sugar, alcohol and processed foods at a moment's notice. Simply stop eating them now and put focus towards eating healthy. 21 days is the time it takes to establish a habit. Thus if you can manage to eat a certain food for this time period it will no longer be a strain, it will be incorporated as part of your lifestyle.


Tip Six – Drink Clean Water

Aside from skin care this is perhaps the most overlooked area of physical well being. The advice to drink lots of water is well known. What is perhaps lesser known is that the quality of water indicates if you should be drinking it in the first place. A water meter can be purchased on Amazon for $10. The difference between drinking water with 0 Parts Per Million(PPM) and 200 PPM is quite literally the difference between drinking water that is pure and water that is poisonous. Most bottled water has PPM in the range of 200+. Test your shower water as well as the skin is efficient at absorbing water.


Tip Seven - Destress

Stress is touted often as the main cause of disease and mental illness. There is never any reason to stress. Even if it's a self help tip such as to drink clean water, do not stress if you cannot put the tip in practice right now. Do what you can when you can and don't stress about the rest.


Above are 7 tips which can be put into practice today. Right now. Set out goals immediately and identify what you want and how to achieve it. It is ultimately the only way to conquer laziness and boredom and to achieve your desires.

THE COOLEST WAY TO SMOOTHER SKIN

FACE FREEZING VIA CRYOCURE FACIAL™

www.skintologyny.com

 

 

 

The thought of “freezing yourself” in the name of beauty might leave you cold, but new treatments that use extremely frigid temperatures are the hottest beauty trend.

From reducing wrinkles and boosting radiance to firming the skin, exposing the body to plummeting temperatures can have multiple benefits. “Therapies that use cold temperature can stimulate circulation,” says Yevgenya Freylikhman the director of Skintology Med-Spa in Manhattan.

Cryotherapy has been used as early as the seventeenth century.

 

Freeze Your Youth

 

The Cryocure Facial ™ is non-invasive and works by means of Cryotherapy or "freeze therapy". When the skin is rapidly cooled it causes a constriction of the microcirculation vessels that is quickly followed by a vasodilatation due to increased release of transmitter substances. This series of vasoconstrictions followed by vasodilatations is known as paradoxical vasomotricity. It works to stimulate the microcirculation, promoting better oxygenation of dermal cells. Paradoxical vasomotricity enhances the penetration and distribution of unique products containing more than 50 vitamins, minerals and amino acids to energize the skin and protect against free radicals. Collagen production is greatly enhanced.

By focusing exclusively on the face with local CryoWand, the surface of the face is enhanced immediately as the pores will appear much smaller and all inflammation and “puffiness” in the face is eliminated.

 

The CryoCure Facial™ is a Cryogenic treatment, in which a controlled beam of vaporized liquid nitrogen is used to freeze the skin of the face, scalp, and neck area. The CryoCure Facial™ is truly one of a kind. The cold nitrogen produces an instantaneous tightness in the skin, filling in fine lines and wrinkles. Collagen is activated to produce more cells, causing skin to become more elastic over repeated use. During the CryoCure Facial™, skin vessels and capillaries undergo severe vasoconstriction (to keep the core temperature from dropping), followed by vasodilation after the procedure. Toxins and other stored deposits are flushed out of the layers of the skin and blood perfusion is improved after several treatments.

 

Additionally, skin’s pore size is reduced, keeping toxins, dirt and grime out. The CryoCure Facial™ flushes away built up toxins in the skin and sooths inflammation, eliminating dreaded puffiness.

 

This technique can:

 

Reduce pore size

Decrease wrinkles and lines

Stimulate collagen production

Improve blood flow

Sooths eczema, psoriasis, and dermatitis

Brightens dark spots

 

 

CryoCure Facial™  entails:

 

-Cleansing of skin and pores

-Exfoliating dead skin cells

-Extractions

-Stimulate collagen production with Cryotherapy for the full face

-Application of a mask to moisturize and soothe the skin

 

As Yevgenya Freylikhman points out, “The effects can be seen immediately and last for up to four months. And as nitrogen occurs naturally in the body you aren’t putting a foreign substance in to your system.”

 

 

FAQS

Can I catch a cold because of this procedure?

 

No. The immediate cold impact of the cryosession will raise the internal body temperature for a short period of time. The stimulation of the immune system can help decrease the severity and frequency of future colds.

 

How will I feel after the treatment?

 

During each session the body releases endorphins, which are hormones that make you feel good and energetic. The mood-enhancing effects from each session can last for days.

 

Are we in the ice age of beauty?

Toronto ON  After years in development Consonant Skincare today announced the launch of its Dealkalizing Deodorant ($12), created with Bentonite clay and Silk Amino Acids to help absorb moisture and to condition skin. Free of sweat-clogging ingredients often found in off-the-shelf deodorants, Consonant Dealkalizing Deodorant is formulated to bring the pH level of skin to 4.5 - 5.0, inhibiting the growth of odour-causing bacteria.

We are very proud that Consonant is the first and only brand to have a deodorant that delivers on all three!" said Bill Baker, owner of Consonant Skincare.

Users don't have to sacrifice effectiveness to kick the chemicals. In panel testing, Consonant Dealkalizing Deodorant was found to be 100 per cent effective, 100 per cent of the time. Additionally, the traditional stick format means users don’t have to sacrifice convenience to stay odour free all day long.
