Catch me in the bathroom excavating my pores.
I definitely fall into the second group.
Ive definitely daydreamed aboutvacuuming out my blackheads seriously, how satisfying would that be?

Fast Facts
What Is The FOREO KIWI Derma?
The massage function temporarily dilates your pores so that the vacuum can extract excess oil and impurities.
According to the brand, you should start each session with a freshly cleansed, dry face.
(I may or may not have gotten a tiny bruise next to my nose from going too slow.
After the first session, my chin which is usually a little textured felt smooth and renewed.
Since my skin turns red easily, I usually opted for the large.
Since the vacuum sucks out impurities, it allows them to look a little smoother and smaller.
The microdermabrasion has also been a treat.
A few swipes seem to do more than any chemical exfoliator Ive used and Im loving the extra glow.
Catch me in the bathroom from here on out excavating my pores.
