Nuface Mini - anyone have one?

[snowdropsndaffs]

If you have one of these, does it really make a difference and, is so, how has it changed your face? Is it worth the money?

Also, how often do you usevit and for how long?

Finally, a reviewer on Space NK, I think, mentioned that it was like eating tinfoil if you have deep amalgram fillings! Anyone else?

Thanks.

You’re right, Princess, it might not be suitable for everyone. In my experience, I wanted something easy to try as I’ve read about the powerful effect of facial massage/exercises and acupuncture. This little unit stimulates the underlying musculature with electric impulses and increases blood flow via gentle massage. I don’t have the patience to sit in front of a mirror, effectively gurning for half an hour.

And besides, I don’t want to be forking out on any more serums and posh creams.

It triggered migraines for me so I had to send it back.

Kitty i agree about the serums and creams,all pretty much the same in my experience,i have spent a fortune in the past, and not going to do anymore, i got some retin A, but its very drying and makes wrinkles look worse, it might work, but i m sure its going to take a long time,
Serums etc, might make skin look good but does nothing for sagging jowls, which is more of a problem

Meant to say sagging jowls are more ageing than wrinkles

@MissKittyBeaudelais wow you look amazing. It’s interesting to see that it has worked for you after 4-6 months, perhaps I’m just impatient to see results. My neck hasn’t improved at all (yet) so you’ve motivated me to keep on with it!

I have the full size one and I love it. I used to have a Rio facial toner and that was such a faff but love this one. I use collagen gel.

Face definitely looks more toned and lifted,especially the cheek area. Doesn’t do anything for forehead lines but I agree with the above statement that jowls are more ageing than wrinkles.

But, it is temporary so you do need to commit to this and keep it up. I do 5 times a week.

MissKitty you look great!

Good to hear (and see) some positive reviews, I’m working away this week but this is encouraging me to make a start at the weekend. My money is spent so I’ve nothing to lose.

Sally, if you do it nightly or say 6 nights per week for a few months, you can then “maintain”. Tbh, I just do it with very little thought because at night I’d “do” my face anyway. Mornings are right out as I’m just too busy.

MissKitty and Princess and everyone else who’s using this, what skincare products do you use and when do you use them alongside the nuface?

I use BHA, Vit c and retinol in my routine (not all at the same time!) but I’m not sure what I should be doing before (BHA is a toner so I’m guessing before?) or after. I’m also not sure about cleansers, is there such a thing as a non oil cleanser that removes makeup including eye makeup? I can’t use micellar water as it makes my face and eyes sting.

I was about to start today but mine needs a long charge as it’s been unused for so long, starting tomorrow now but I’m still a bit unsure as to how to work it into my current routine with the products that I currently use and like.

SallieSallow i use a Judith Williams facial wash mouse with Retinol at night, got it from Ideal world on offer ,for day cream, night included, and i love it, this is the second set i have had,, then use the Nuface, with aloe vera gel, after i wash that off i uses an Elizabeth Arden [got from QVC on offer] but first i uses collagen serum, or Hylouronic acid, then the EA serum, plus night moisturiser,then neck cream, which actually doesnt take long although its a faff, in the morning i just rinse face,then Judith Williams retinol moisturiser,
About once a week i use a tiny bit of Retin A pure, not too keen on the EA stuff to be honest, then repeat at night, every night
I have some Aldi caviar cream, which i think is just as good,

Thanks Princess so sounds like I need to stop using an oil cleanser, rinse my face after nufacing and then proceed with skincare as usual.

I couldn’t find much info on this, possibly because nuface encourage you to use their own products, they do cleansers and serums as well as the conductive gel. I can’t remember what I did when I was using it before as it was ages ago & I wasn’t using actives or retinol at the time, but I do remember not getting on with their gel.

I think I’ll probably use it in the morning eventually as that will take away the makeup removal issue, but would rather do at night when I have more time till I get used to it again.

I use it in the morning with collagen gel then just wash off the gel and apply vitamin c serum and spf. Definitely no oil cleanser.

Thanks Delatron once I’ve got used to it again and can do it on autopilot I’ll start using it in the morning.

I found some info from Hot&Flashy (50 something beauty blogger) where she goes through her full routine (she uses retinol and Vit c) including the nuface that’s been helpful too, though I don’t use anywhere near as many products as she does!

Mine's great when I use it. Ds calls it my face dildo.

at face dildo - I might have to adopt that!

Used yesterday and so far so good - was a lot quicker than I remembered but think I did the extended routine last time so no wonder I got fed up and gave up! I'm sticking to 5 minutes in the morning this time, will let you know all know as soon as I'm young and non-saggy again

Yes I just do the 5 minute routine most mornings. I don’t have time for the extended one.

I like Hot and Flashy on You Tube! I’ve learnt lots from her.

😂 Face Dildo!!
