Luxene Beauty Firmaglow Body Microdermabrasion Device Review

Gift (Affiliate Links) 

Out-of-the-blue my beloved sister bought me the Luxene Beauty Firmaglow Body– in fact she bought three of them: one for me, one for our mom and one for herself. She said, "you have to have this thing, it really works so well." I confess that I had never heard of it, and didn't know if it would be electronic or manual, but I knew that if she loved it that I would too.

The Luxene Beauty Firmaglow Body is a manual microdermabrasion device that couldn't be easier to use. You simply use it on dry skin that is free of any moisturizers, oils or skincare products and ever-so-gently glide it with a circular or up and down motion. I do not apply any pressure at all, but instead allow it to gently glide across my skin. It removes dead skin cells effortlessly, and painlessly– provided that you do not apply a lot of pressure. Doing so could cause tears to the skin, and really should be avoided. I would also recommend seeing your doctor to look at any strange growths, moles or odd textured skin since that can be an indication of pre-cancerous or cancerous lesions, and they certainly should not be exfoliated.

With no pressure applied, I saw a radical difference in my skin after a single use. It was soft, smooth and free of dry patches. My skin feels like silk after use, and once I apply my body cream I can't believe how velvety my skin feels, and how radiant it looks.
According to Luxene Beauty,

Our pro-Level, home microdermabrasion device designed specifically for the skin on the body can help with the stimulation of collagen, reductions of fine lines and crepiness, improved skin tone and texture, reduction in the appearance of dark spots, increase hydration, and improve the overall health and beauty of the skin.

Smooth glowing skin is just waiting to be exposed. Our diamond-coated abrasive surface gently resurfaces the out-most layer of dry dull skin, exposing a healthier glow. Enjoy immediate and cumulative results!
Benefits:

FOR THE BODY: FIRMAGLOW is an innovative approach to microdermabrasion. Unlike traditional devices designed mainly for the face, FIRMAGLOW offers a unique solution perfectly designed to give the skin on the body the attention it deserves.

NO SUCTION NEEDED: FIRMAGLOW omits suction, letting the palm-sized diamond surface effectively exfoliate the skin. Staying true to the definition of microdermabrasion – minimally invasive epidermal skin resurfacing – there's no suction required.

BETTER RESULTS: Beyond scrubs, gloves, and brushes, FIRMAGLOW is a game-changer. Elevate your skincare game with this minimally invasive, professional-grade microdermabrasion treatment. It's more than exfoliation.

SEE & FEEL THE DIFFERENCE: Notice dry skin removal and immediate smoothness during your first FIRMAGLOW treatment. Over time, benefit from enhanced skin health, boosted collagen, reduced crepiness, improved texture, and smoother, glowing skin.

CONVENIENT & SIMPLE: FIRMAGLOW offers hassle-free microdermabrasion. One purchase, no appointments, and only 5 minutes per week. A durable, affordable, and easy-to-use manual tool – No power, apps, or replacement parts. Simplify your routine.

Directions: Begin with clean dry skin, free of lotions, creams, or oils. Guide your FIRMAGLOW BODY in circular or up/down motion over your skin’s surface.
Apply less pressure and fewer passes on sensitive areas. Apply more pressure and more passes on thicker and less sensitive areas. If you have loose skin, hold it taut while buffing. (Remember: it should never hurt). Wipe off or rinse the skin and apply a good quality moisturizing product.

Overall Assessment: I love that this is manual, rather than electronic, and it is my absolute favorite gadget. It is so handy that it comes with its own stand– making it very easy to store on a counter.

African Botanics Marula Detoxifying Salt & Sugar Body Scrub ($ 55.00 for 6.76 oz. / 200 ml. from African BotanicsRevolveNet-A-Porter  and bluemercury): is an antioxidant-rich body scrub that gently and effectively eliminates dead skin cells while it increases blood flow– which accelerates the removal of toxins.

The exfoliating particles, which are comprised of raw cane sugar and mineral-rich pink Himalayan crystal salt,  densely populate the oil-infused formula, and they do an exemplary job removing dead skin cells. These particles are not jagged, and therefore do not damage or traumatize the skin, and they naturally dissolve against the skin– unlike scrubs with synthetic particles that pollute the waterways. The warm, Neroli and Grapefruit aroma is delectable and calming– while the formula is itself ultra-nourishing. Once the sugar and salt dissolve, a thin veil of nourishing oils coat the skin and offer it deep moisture, and stunning luminosity. Unlike many oil-based body scrubs, African Botanics Marula Detoxifying Salt & Sugar Body Scrub thankfully does not leave an oil-slick on the shower floor. Without fail, once I emerge from the shower, my skin is left ultra soft, silky-smooth, supple, hydrated and luminous. I immediately follow by applying one of my favorite body oils and body creams for unbelievably dewy, luminous skin. The formula is so gently and soothing that it is suitable for all types of skin.
Directions: "Apply to damp skin to exfoliate by massaging with upward circular motions 1-3 per week concentrating on areas including hands, feet, knees and elbows. May also be used before getting into a warm bath or as a foot soak for the ultimate experience in well-being. Follow up with your favorite body oil or cream."

According to African Botanics,

This dual phase gentle formula contains brightening and exfoliating raw cane sugar and mineral-rich pink Himalayan crystal salt, which facilitates the body’s natural detoxification process by increasing blood and lymphatic flow. These ingredients gently scrub and eliminate dead skin cells and rough patches. A powerful combination of antioxidant-rich African Marula, Pinotage Grape seed, Baobab and Kalahari melon seed oils, replenish, renew and hydrate the skin.
