FOREO UFO 2 Review: Is It Worth The Hype?

There's no better time than a national lockdown to test out the coolest new skincare/makeup/hair trends and snazzy innovations in beauty tech from the comfort of your own home. That said, there's nothing more frustrating than spending upwards of £100 on a snazzy new hair treatment or at-home facial system, only to find out it doesn't actually work.

Enter GLAMOUR Tries : the weekly Instagram series which sees GLAMOUR editors do all of the time-consuming (and expensive) work for you.

A juicy skin moisturiser and runway-worthy lip gloss – here's this week's Glam Drop

We've been busy trying out all of the (sometimes) wacky but always wonderful beauty crazes to take the internet by storm - from the hair pods seen backstage at Victoria Beckham during fashion week to Sarah Chapman's £138 Meso-Melt Infusion at-home facial and Ciate's nail stickers which promise an Instagram-ready manicure in minutes. These are the products that every veteran beauty sleuth is talking about - but that you want to do a bit of research into before buying.

Thanks to GLAMOUR Tries, you won't need to waste your hard-earned pennies on testing these innovations yourself. We're getting in their first, giving you the lowdown and making sure you invest in products that genuinely work. Like what you see? You can shop all of the products seen on GLAMOUR tries, with the click of a button, down below. Don't say we don't treat you.

This week, our Social Media Assistant Luca Wetherby-Matthews tried FOREO's UFO 2 LED Power Mask. Described as "the future of your weekly masking ritual", it's designed to supercharge your pampering sessions by offering you a range of treatments in one device to tackle your main skin concerns.

Condensing a 20-minute session into 90 seconds, it works in combination with the specially invented UFO-activated masks and each treatment incorporates a carefully chosen combination of temperature and pulsation intensity for maximum effect and soothing facial massage. It switches between thermotherapy (warm) to soften the skin to cryotherapy (cold) to lift and firm. That's the "Power Mask" part.
