FOREO LUNA Play

No this isn’t a naughty toy!!! Get your mind out of the gutter! This is the exact opposite – it’s actually for cleaning. Despite its diminutive appearance (or raunchy looks ) the FOREO LUNA Play packs a fair punch when it comes to cleansing.

 The FOREO LUNA Play is the smallest and first disposable facial brush from FOREO - don't worry the battery will last for at least 100 uses. The LUNA Play has been designed for those who have a hectic lifestyle and to give anyone who has  yet to commit to a facial cleansing tool, an affordable way to see if a sonic cleanser is for them.  This is actually my first foray into cleansing tools. Here’s the low down!

Yes the FOREO LUNA Play is absolutely tiny; it’s around the size of a cotton pad. But it features all the original features of the original FOREO sonic cleansing brush. This is the first disposable brush in the FOREO line up. But alas after around 100 full uses the FOREO LUNA Play battery will eventually run out. When it does you simply recycle the brush and either replace your LUNA Play or commit to a full size FOREO brush.

At just €38 for a FOREO LUNA Play it doesn't sell for much more than your average  facial brush head; the difference is that you don't need a charger, simply pack the FOREO LUNA Play, use and go. And if you break down its cost per use – it roughly €0.04 a use – not bad I hear you say. But I would actually love it if could be charged up or even if there was a battery indicator or something I would be 100% in love with it – say you’re on holidays and after a long day in the sun and copious layers of SPF you switch on your FOREO LUNA Play and guess what the battery is dead. 

FOREO LUNA Play Features
  • Powerful, portable, pocket sized tool
  • Up to 100 uses
  • T-Sonic pulsation technology will remove 99.5% of dirt and oil (based on clinical trials) plus makeup residue
  • Powerful motor delivers 8,000 T-Sonic pulsations per minute dislodging impurities
  • Clears away dead skin cells
  • Diminishes the appearance of pores to refine skin texture
  • Enhances the absorption of skincare products
  • Gentle on the skin
  • Ultra-hygienic silicone design is quick drying and nonporous to prevent bacteria buildup
  • 35X more hygienic than nylon-bristled brushes

 As with all FOREO devices the FOREO LUNA Play is constructed from super soft silicone; the gentle texture of the silicone ensures that the skin is never at any risk of damage as the bristles are so gentle. By utilising silicone, the FOREO tools are also up to 35 times more hygienic than a regular face brush, making them ideal for all skin types including acne prone skin - it doesn’t aggravate blemishes nor further spread bacteria.

The FOREO LUNA Play relies upon T-Sonic pulsation technology meaning the whole unit physically pulses at a rate of 8,000 pulsations per minute. The gentle movements help to deeply cleanse the skin (it removes up to 99.5% of daily dirt and oil) without stripping  my skin of its natural oils, but it also exfoliates.

From the first use I have experienced noticeably softer skin and with continued use, my complexion is more even-toned and has a natural glow. It absorbs skincare such as moisturiser with a little more efficiently. It is really lovely to use and is great with all cleansing products including balms, oils, creams and gel. It gives whatever you choose an extra deep cleansing boost. 

I absolutely love my FOREO LUNA Play in black (Midnight), however, there’s also huge selection of colours to choose from. I think these are the perfect introduction to sonic cleansing.


The FOREO LUNA Play is available online at Mankind and FOREO.
