FOREO BEAR™ Before & After: Amanda Ramsay 3-Month Trial
Going to the gym and using it for its intended purposes (rather than chatting and slurping on your protein shake) will change your body. The muscles will tone, your posture improve, and you'll have more energy after the workout than before it, as the mitochondria revel in the extra oxygen you've pumped into your tissues. Your skin will follow suit of the muscle below and get firmer and more toned. Your face has quite a few muscles, too, and microcurrent facials basically serve as a facial gym, toning the 69+ muscles of the face and neck and improving the look of the skin sitting upon them, allowing them entrance into the pantheon of the anti-aging greats.
How do microcurrent facial devices work?
A microcurrent facial is a professional, non-invasive anti-aging treatment that moved into our homes (and hearts) through the development of smart skin tech devices, providing excellent results from the comfort of your home. Often called the "Non-Surgical Face Lift" or a "natural alternative to botox and fillers," microcurrent facial devices use a low-grade electrical current to "train" your facial muscles into their younger selves. Electrical stimulation challenges the muscle, working on an old use-it-or-lose-it principle nature adheres to so dearly. The contractions result in toning and tightening the "exercised" muscles, contouring your features, and visibly firming and lifting the muscles and the skin above the muscle for a fresher and younger-looking face.
What is FOREO BEAR™?
If you've been on this planet long enough, laughed, cried, frowned, and did everything people do, you're starting to see the traces of time on your face. BEAR™ and its microcurrent facial toning target fine lines, loss of elasticity, compromised musculature, and sagging contours we'll all have to deal with sooner or later.
It is a 3-minute non-invasive facelift (and a second step of The Swedish Beauty Routine) and the world's first FDA-approved microcurrent device featuring the patented Anti-Shock System™ for the ultimate comfort of use and no zaps. BEAR™ is also clinically proven to improve the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, skin firmness, and elasticity in just 7 days. And, since all microcurrent devices must be used with a conductive serum, FOREO developed the SERUM SERUM SERUM, an effective, natural, and very luxurious conductive gel for superior results and a timeless radiance.

Amanda's review and BEAR™ before and after photos
Hello, I’m Amanda Ramsay, your over 40’s makeup expert and professional makeup artist with over 19 years of experience working with literally thousands of women 40 plus. I’m also 49 and forever seeking the best beauty tools and products for mature skin that enable and empower women 40 plus to feel fabulous in their own skin. I spent three months trialing the FOREO BEAR™ microcurrent facial toning device and hydrating conductive SERUM SERUM SERUM and have been totally blown away. Below, you’ll find my thoughts, feelings, and, of course, results from the three-month trial.
Initial Results After First Use
To best describe how my skin looked and felt after one use, I’d say unexpectedly relaxed and pleasantly flushed. The most surprising result for me was just how much stress relief this super beauty tool gave me and my overworked jaw. Darn, those muscles are tight! I hold a LOT of tension in my jaw and am a world-class teeth-clencher like many women my age! FOREO BEAR™ gave instant relief to this tension. The two-minute program is also a wonderful exercise in mindfulness. Using BEAR™ for the first time made me acutely aware of just how badly my facial muscles needed some relaxing recuperation.
This is my first trial of BEAR™ microcurrent facial toning device with the hydrating and conductive SERUM SERUM SERUM. Another observation to be mindful of is that BEAR™ microcurrent device can be a little zappy if you don’t apply enough serum. But the beauty of loading up on the SERUM SERUM SERUM is all that delicious hyaluronic acid and squalane help to plump up your skin instantly. My skin looks quite flushed, thanks to the stimulation of blood flow, and instantly more radiant.
1-Month Check-In
I like to think of BEAR™ as my facial-workout-personal-trainer! She's all about facial exercising and improving the elasticity and firmness of your skin, all while de-stressing and de-puffing. All in under 2 minutes a day, I was enjoying a full facial workout. After one month of consistent use, I'd describe my skin as looking less puffy, particularly around the eye zone. I also found that I felt far less tense... The stress relief was magical. I know I mentioned this earlier, but I'm harping on about it as I'm obsessed.
And last but not least, my skin is looking more radiant. I'll admit, as a significantly time-poor individual, I wasn't sure how it would fit into my routine and commenced with some trepidation. And I'm pleased to say I found it really easy to incorporate FOREO BEAR™ into my skincare routine.
Note: I may have been seen making cups of tea while using FOREO BEAR™, answering one of 500 million questions from my children while using BEAR™, chatting on the phone while using BEAR™, taking Zoom meetings while using BEAR™ (aren’t Zooms great for that?!). You get the idea… she fits in seamlessly with your hectic, time-poor schedule!
3-Month Check-In and Verdict
After three months of using my BEAR™, my skin looks more radiant and fresh, plus it feels firmer around the jawline - I did give extra attention to my "jowl-zone"! The most surprising benefit of using the World's safest microcurrent device is, without a doubt, facial stress relief. Me and my jaw-clenching ways are forever thankful to FOREO BEAR™. They call it a personal trainer for your face, and they're not wrong. We carry so much tension in our hard-working facial muscles, and exercise is, of course, the best way to keep them "fit" and healthy... and fit muscles are toned muscles, right? Are you with me?! BEAR™ exercised and recharged my skin for a super-speedy, simple, energizing facial that fits neatly into this time-poor woman's beauty regime. Overall, the verdict after three months is I shall continue using FOREO BEAR™ in my daily routine, as the old jowls have enjoyed a bit of a workout, my hooded eyes enjoyed a lift, and the weary muscles of my face thoroughly enjoyed a daily workout! FOREO BEAR™ is a gem of a beauty tool.

Additional Tips to Tone Your Face From MYSA
The production of collagen, the most abundant protein in our body, keeps the skin plump. As we age, beginning in our late twenties and early thirties, we gradually lose collagen, and collagen loss causes wrinkles, fine lines, and sagging. Microcurrent devices such as BEAR™ have been shown to increase collagen and elastin production, but is there anything else you can do to prevent collagen loss and keep your face youthful and supple?
The choice of lifestyle can significantly affect how we age: smoking, alcohol consumption, and lack of sleep can all speed up the effects of aging on our skin. What we eat affects our skin, too - processed food, fried food, and sugar can not only cause breakouts but also make us age faster. There are foods rich in collagen that will not necessarily boost our collagen levels but improve our overall skin health as a part of a healthy diet.
Facial exercises are a fantastic way to keep your face in shape, and we're bringing two types of exercises: overall face yoga and facial exercises for eyes and lips. If you have more questions about BEAR™ and its successor, BEAR™ 2, we wrote down everything (and we mean everything) you wanted to know about the most powerful microcurrent device on the market.
Where to get your FOREO BEAR™?
You can find your BEAR™, its younger sister BEAR™ 2, and an entire specialized extended family from the second generation—BEAR™ go, BEAR™ eyes & lips, and BEAR™ 2 body—on FOREO.com. Stay consistent, dear friends. The "before and after" only works if you do the bit in between. We hope you found some helpful information. Be well, stay beautiful, and enjoy living in your skin.
