What is Acne?
Essentially, acne vulgaris (the medical term for common acne), is what happens when hair follicles get blocked. Beneath the skin's surface, around the root of each hair, are oil-producing sebaceous glands. These glands can overproduce oil, effectively 'sealing' the follicle at or beneath its pore, causing a buildup of bacteria and inflammation. The resulting breakouts can vary in severity from blackheads or whiteheads, through to hard, large, painful lumps, known as cystic acne. Whichever type you’re experiencing, talk to your doctor or dermatologist, who may prescribe a course of antibiotics to help clear things up. Regardless, a tailored masking routine can complement any medical interventions, optimize your skin - and leave you feeling fantastic! Here’s how UFO can help.Masking: The Final Frontier
UFO smart mask combines advanced dermal technologies with special Korean mask formulae for a spa-worthy facial in only 90 seconds. It uses something called Hyper-Infusion Technology to boost UFO-Activated Masks’ active ingredients for deeper penetration into the skin, making it much more effective than other masking products. For acne sufferers, UFO’s warming thermotherapy and cooling cryotherapy are especially interesting. Why? Because applying heat to the skin helps unclog pores, making that oily build-up of sebum all the easier to remove. A blast of cold, meanwhile, has a soothing effect on angry, inflamed skin. But that’s not all…See the (Blue) Light!
UFO changes the game when it comes to at-home skincare. With infrared lights, set at the optimal wavelength for particular skin conditions, its full-spectrum LED phototherapy puts pro-level treatments quite literally in the palm of users’ hands. In particular, blue LED kills acne-causing bacteria at its source, all the while stimulating blood circulation. Better yet, it’s completely non-invasive, and effective in just 90 seconds.![Matte Maniac UFO Activated Mask](https://assets.foreo.com/files/static/images/wp-text/ufo_matte_maniac_acne-850x477_1.png)
