Skincare has never been this smart and easy!

Swedish brand Foreo, a leading beauty-tech company, is at it again. The creator of product staples like the Luna and innovative devices like the U.F.O. is taking your skincare routine a step further.

The Foreo Luna fofo has just been unveiled. This tiny, colorful device not only cleanses the skin, it has the ability to analyze your face and tailor a beauty routine exactly for you.

Yas, girl, you read right.

This thing has 24K gold-plated sensors that will be able to tell you your skin profile. It will then send over the info to your Foreo phone app which will create a routine specifically for what type of skin you have.

Aside from these smart functions, it’s also a great cleansing brush. T-sonic pulsations and those soft silicone brushes ensure a gentle clean and thorough exfoliation. After all, Foreo’s known for great skin care — the original Luna sells at a pace of one unit per three seconds worldwide. That’s how many women trust it. 👀

The Luna fofo is fully waterproof and according to Foreo, this material is “35x more hygienic than nylon bristles” which is what other cleansing devices use. It’s powered by two AAA batteries that should be enough for 400 washes so you won’t even have to bother charging for a while.

It comes in seven eye-catching colors that are available in stores now for US$ 89 in the US and EUR 89 in Europe.

These new Ikea curtains fight indoor pollution by filtering air

Talk about being functional!

Ikea has just announced groundbreaking technology that will not only add to your home decorating or homemaking ventures, as the brand has been apt to do; it will also help keep your living space cleaner by purifying indoor air.

This is Ikea’s Gunrid curtain and it works just like a plant: It breaks down harmful pollutants when it gets in contact with light. The fabric itself has undergone “mineral-based surface treatment” which enables it to destroy common indoor air pollutants like formaldehyde and odor. And since the tech is in the fabric, future products aren’t, in theory, limited to just curtains.

Unknown to most, indoor air pollution is a big deal with some living spaces found to have conditions five times worse than other parts of the world and a higher death toll than outdoor pollution. Mauricio Affonso, Product Developer at Ikea Range & Supply says, “We are creating an affordable and space-saving air purifying solution that also makes the home more beautiful.”

Ikea hopes to put these Gunrid curtains on shelves by 2020.
