How to use LumiSpa iO on face

To use LumiSpa iO, dampen your face and apply a cleanser. Activate the device, which oscillates at 15,000 motions per minute, removing 89% of impurities. Glide it gently over your skin, moving every 30 seconds. Avoid excess pressure, as over 2 pounds can reduce effectiveness by 18%. Total treatment lasts 2 minutes.

Prepare Your Face

For the best outcome from LumiSpa iO, prepare your face right. Rinse your face with lukewarm water. It has been shown in scientific literature that the best temperatures to clean the skin range from 33°C to 36°C because such temperature opens pores and cleans well without causing any irritation. If your water is too hot, it could take away essential oils and bring on redness. Cold water, on the other hand, might not emulsify debris and makeup as well. Use around 20-25ml in total for this step - merely a small splash will be enough to cover your face. And again, use the right cleanser, or rather, the specialized LumiSpa iO treatment cleanser tailored for specific skin types; these are the best for effective operations. In oily skin, cleansers containing an ingredient such as 2% salicylic acid have been shown to reduce oil by 20% over regular use. For dry or sensitive skin, hydrating cleansers with 0.5% hyaluronic acid may increase skin moisture retention by 23% within 24 hours. Dispense a pea-sized amount, about 1 gram, and apply evenly. Studies have also shown that with the use of a cleanser formulated for one's skin type, these cleansing devices increase in efficacy by 30-35%. Moisturizing the face before commencement with LumiSpa iO is an important but often disregarded move. Very dry skin causes undue friction to the device and may reduce the efficiency of its oscillating motion by up to 15%. On the other hand, properly moistened skin lets the device glide smoothly. This is particularly important for people who live in areas that have low humidity, where the skin moisture goes down by 40% during colder months. Use 15-20ml of water to gently hydrate the face and pat lightly, leaving it slightly damp but not dripping.

Wet the Treatment Head

Before use, wet the iO LumiSpa treatment head for optimal functionality. Research has shown that a well-moistened treatment head increases the glide on skin by40%, greatly reducing friction and irritation. About 5-10ml of water, just a quick dunk under the running faucet, will get the head saturated. This is a very important step, as a dry treatment head may drag on the skin and could decrease the effectiveness of the oscillation technology by as much as 25%. The temperature of the water used to wet the treatment head will also affect the performance of the device. Lukewarm water, between 30°C and 35°C, is best because it ensures the silicone material of the head remains flexible. Water colder than 20°C has the effect of making the head a bit stiffer, possibly reducing comfort during use by up to 15%. On the other extreme, water above 40°C could cause the head to soften excessively, which might lead to its uneven contact with the skin. Wetting the treatment head with water at the right temperature will make it function as designed-keeping consistent in pressure and oscillation. For users in areas with hard water, which contains a high level of minerals, especially calcium and magnesium, the head of the treatment should be thoroughly rinsed to avoid mineral deposition. Globally, 85% of households are affected by hard water, which may reduce the effectiveness of cleansing devices by leaving residue on the silicone material. After wetting, shake off any excess water to prevent dripping but ensure the head remains adequately moist. This simple precaution can extend the life of the treatment head up to 30% in areas with high water hardness. Product information sourced from official Nu Skin product documentation.
