If the party doesn't start until you walk in, it's okay. You'll walk in pretty soon as your pre-party skincare routine takes no more than 7 minutes. How is this possible? Because FOREO invested a decade of research into creating its Swedish Beauty Routine - blurring the lines between beauty, innovation & tech, and working hard so you don't have to. A deep fusion of the latest technologies, award-winning design, and knowledge of natural skin processes resulted in easy-to-use, ergonomic, beautifully designed devices with radical customizability complemented by clean, concentrated cosmetics lines for lasting pro-level results at home from the very first use. This is the skincare revolution we're celebrating on FOREO's 11th birthday with 30% off for millions of fans worldwide. 

The Swedish Beauty Routine is the culmination of all we've worked for. It acts as your very own daily mini skin care party and consists of 3 1/2 steps - ideal skin care before and after a night or day (or two) of partying. The sophisticated but simple, user-friendly Swedish Beauty Routine consists of a handful of carefully curated devices -  LUNA™ 4 facial cleansing device, BEAR™ 2 microcurrent toning device, UFO™ 3 deep facial hydration anti-aging device. The half-step - ISSA™ 3 silicone sonic smart toothbrush - is not technically a skincare step but an oral hygiene one, using the best electric toothbrush for a fresh and seductive party smile. 

Results come first because there is no point in doing something that makes no difference, but FOREO also wants to inspire you to take a moment for yourself. Slow down, relax, unwind, and try to find a sense of calm, mindfulness, beauty, and contentment in the simple things (before you bust a move on the dance floor). Life is sometimes complicated. Skincare doesn't have to be.

FOREO Swedish Beauty Routine philosophy

It is finding balance and harmony in all aspects of life (this includes the work-life-party balance), a mission derived from the Swedish concept of "Lagom". Straight from the Swedish hub of innovation, lagom teaches us to live sustainably, in tune with our body and the world around us, and to be mindful to keep only what we love, need, and use, and nothing more. It is high-impact simplicity at its best, offering an alternative and kinder view of life and self-care. The Swedish Beauty Routine doesn't believe in dangerous, painful, frustrating, time-consuming tasks or beauty-is-pain lectures. 

That is why FOREO invested a decade of research and clinical studies to find the right combination of advanced technologies and natural ingredients to activate, support, and amplify the body's natural healing processes. Your skin prep before an event will be a 7-minute relaxing spa experience rather than a hectic 32-step skincare routine that will leave you yearning for a staycation.

FOREO  has spent the past 11 years writing a story of real-life self-care - real people with actual needs and tight schedules. Convinced that skincare should be a joyous ritual rather than another point on your already avalanching to-do list, the Swedish Beauty Routine grew out of research as the distilled minimalistic approach, anchored in three key points:

• Effective Results: Advanced beauty-tech devices fuse with skincare products for clinically proven, visible results that are impossible to achieve with skincare products alone.
• Holistic Approach: Supporting the natural healing processes and promoting overall well-being through mind-body connection and non-invasive methods. 

• Foolproof Method: User-friendly, single-button devices with timers and guided routines are suitable for both skin experts and beginners. You can't go wrong.

   

FOREO Swedish Beauty Routine Steps

STEP 1 
DEEP CLEANSING with LUNA™ 4 
1-minute

LUNA™ (lat. moon) was the first FOREO product launched. It got its name not for its lunar shape but because it used the same material as Neil Armstrong's moon boots.

Now in its 4th generation, LUNA™ 4 cleansing and massaging face brush combines T-Sonic™ pulsations and plush, ultra-hygienic silicone touch points to remove impurities trapped deep within your pores while also gently exfoliating. So, how often should you wash your face? Your LUNA™ 4 is soft enough to be used even on sensitive skin and can be used morning and night without fear of over-scrubbing as with harsh rotating plastic brushes. 

Non-abrasive exfoliation means your party makeup will sit better, and post-cleansing skincare will readily absorb without a layer of dead skin cells blocking passage. LUNA™ 4  face cleaner is clinically proven to remove 99% of dirt, excess sebum, and makeup residue. It is 35 times more hygienic than face brushes with nylon bristles and largely surpasses the efficacy of washing your face by hand.

Whatever you're cleaning, it only makes sense to clean with a clean tool; otherwise, you are just smearing impurities around. We recommend using your LUNA™ 4 brush with a good facial cleanser such as LUNA™ Micro-Foam Cleanser 2.0, specially formulated to cleanse and hydrate skin for maximum nourishment and non-stripping protection against free radicals. Let's keep your precious barrier safe and intact (a frequent problem with harsh facial cleansers that can age your skin by robbing it of its protective layer).

POST-PARTY TIP

Chances are that your party makeup was heavier than your regular daily makeup. You might have also applied a more robust SPF because it was a daytime garden/beach party, or you went hard with waterproof cosmetics. For this, we would warmly recommend a double cleansing routine, introducing a new step, LUNA™ Ultra Nourishing Cleansing Balm,  before your  LUNA™ 4 and Micro-Foam Cleanser 2.0. A lightweight and waterless balm melts into a silky oil and is a perfect 1st step in double-cleansing routines starring Softening Sweet Almond Oil, moisturizing Jojoba Oil, nourishing Shea Butter, and antioxidant Vitamin E.

STEP 2
MICROCURRENT FACELIFT with BEAR™ 2 
2-minutes

BEAR™ 2 is the world's first FDA-approved microcurrent face toning device for a no-zap facelifting thanks to the Anti-Shock 2.0 System that measures your skin's resistance to electricity 200 times per second, adjusting the microcurrent intensity. If you have no time for daily face yoga grimaces, this is an elegant, high-tech, quick, and practical solution. You will still be hitting and toning the same muscles. BEAR™ 2 skin tightening machine non-invasively improves the signs of aging, face-sculpting, and contouring the whole face. No shocks, no pain, just revived collagen production, replenished elastane, stronger musculature supporting the skin, and rejuvenated stronger. The cutest, powerful face lifting device out there is also clinically proven to improve the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, skin firmness, and elasticity in a week.

All microcurrent devices MUST be used with a conductive serum. We'll say it again—at home or in a salon, a conductive medium is necessary. But why stop at a single-function conductive gel? FOREO SUPERCHARGED™ Serum 2.0 was developed specifically for use with FOREO's microcurrent face sculpting device and firming massages. It features a new electrolyte complex for extra conductivity and superior treatment safety and comfort. The serum is also clinically proven to significantly increase type 1 collagen, to firm, and reduce the appearance of wrinkles.

This party might go on for a while. Having some extra youthful freshness in your corner is not a bad idea when the wee AM hours creep in.

POST-PARTY TIP

If you saluted the sun in a YOLO way and messed with your circadian rhythm, it's a safe bet to say you're sleep-deprived. Consequentially, your skin will look the part: duller, tired, sort of saggy, and pale. The day after a party is an ideal time to double down on the serum to get more replenishing goodies into your exhausted complexion. No one will judge you if you need to freshen up with your face tightening machine more than once.

STEP 3
INTENSELY HYDRATING FACIAL with UFO™ 3
2-minutes

When is the best time to get a facial before an event? Well, if it takes 2 minutes and is clinically proven to increase skin hydration levels by 126% in a single use, maintaining the effect up to 6 hours - do it right before the event. UFO™ best hydration device is the skincare Swiss Army knife combining 4 key technologies - Thermo-therapy aka ultra-fast warming (5 x faster, thank you very much), Cryo-therapy aka cooling, T-Sonic™ pulsations, which deliver a soothing facial massage while simultaneously pushing the mask ingredients deep into your skin, and 8 LED lights, each with their own skin benefits.

The device boasts 8 slots to save routines for offline use in Easy Mode, or you can enjoy pre-programmed app treatment routines - unique to each FOREO mask - on your UFO™ 3 face hydration device. You can also create a personalized treatment routine that automatically syncs to your device. UFO™ has also been clinically proven to significantly reduce the appearance of wrinkles in just 7 days. Growing old is largely drying out and dehydrated skin can't protect itself against the elements. Once you restore the essential moisture, the lines and wrinkles become less visible. UFO™ 3 is the fastest way to hydrate the skin - deeply, thoroughly, and in minutes.

POST-PARTY TIP

Just like aging, a hangover has a lot to do with moisture loss. A body dehydrated by alcohol consumption reflects its state on the skin, forming dehydration lines on forehead and making existing lines more visible. Generally, dehydrated skin texture will be rough, lackluster, fragile, flaking, or feel uncomfortably tight. Alcohol also destroys collagen and diminishes elasticity, so we suggest you find a moisture-rich, rejuvenating UFO-activated mask that suits your skin as the best way to rehydrate.

STEP 3 1/2
A PERFECT SMILE with ISSA™ 3
2-minutes

FOREO ISSA™ 3, the 4-in-1 sonic toothbrush, is clinically proven to remove 30% more plaque than a manual toothbrush and improve total oral hygiene by 140%. Thanks to its ultra-hygienic and ultra-gentle medical silicone, combined with PBT bristles, FOREO ISSA™ 3 electric toothbrush is tough on plaque while gently massaging the gums (a strangely pleasant sensation). The best sonic toothbrush also features a two-minute timer because, let's be honest, how often do you check the time when you start brushing and truly keep it up for 2 minutes? We won't be throwing rocks in this glass house. 

 

The back of your sonic brush is also designed with concentric ridges to clean the tongue and cheeks for a thoroughly clean mouth and teeth. The wireless brush is fast-drying and non-porous to prevent the accumulation of bacteria, and a single USB charge will last for up to a year of brushing, also making it the best travel toothbrush (because who needs to lug around yet another charger).

POST-PARTY TIP

If your tongue feels a little carpety after some hedonistic delights, use the ISSA™ 3 tongue and cheek scraper ridges at the back of the toothbrush after completing your dentist-recommended 2-minute brushing routine. The fresher mouthfeel will instantly make you feel better, and you can use it as often as you like.
