| I'd never replace you Diego! |
I’m being completely honest when I say I always want a quick
fix. I eat the wrong food and diet for
two days and want results. I sometimes
fall asleep with my makeup on and then I’m horrified when my skin suffers. I don’t think I have changed much since my
teens and twenties, except that I have noticed that I’m not getting away with
it as much.
So last month I came across a gadget called a Magnitone. It claimed to empty out pores and tone your skin. I suppose it was like an electric toothbrush
but for the face. Now being the sort of person that wants quick
results, I thought I’d give it ago. After all it promised results in just seven
days. So I ordered the ‘Full Monty’
Magnitone (after of course convincing my husband that I really needed it in my
life and I would definitely use it!) even though it was more expensive than the
‘Barefaced’ Magnitone. I went for this
particular model because you could also use it on your body and feet.

When I got it through the post, I was impressed with the packaging
and I loved the fact the Magnitone was a bright colour. It really stood out on my dressing table
which meant that I would be less likely to misplace it (I have a very annoying
habit of losing things). I loved the
fact that it had a USB charger meaning that I could use my iphone plug to
charge it or just simply plug it into my computer to charge which is great for
traveling. Getting the Magnitone through the post made me remember the time
when I was 13 and I had four friends stay over. As they were all sitting round
the table having breakfast, my mum came along with a parcel she had received,
she told us she had ordered a face massager to tone her face. As she was opening
the box she informed us the importance of looking after our skin. As mum pulled
out her new face massager from the box and started to massage her face, I felt
my heart sink and my face turn a beetroot colour. My friends couldn’t stop laughing as my
mother rubbed this phallic looking object over her face, while she called us
dirty mined! Thankfully the Magnitone
looks nothing like that!
I don’t really read instruction booklets and found that the
Magnitone was idiot proof. You press a button
and off you go! Initially I charged it for 24 hours and decided that I would
use it once a day just before bedtime. So I did my usual and washed my face to
remove my eye makeup and added some cleanser and used the magnitone (toning
setting) and worked around my face and neck, it was so quick it only took a
minute and there was a beeper every 20 seconds to remind you to move to the
next area of your face and automatically stopped after a minute.

Results
After the first couple of uses my face definitely felt
smoother, after one week my pores on my nose and chin were definitely much
smaller. The real test came when I saw
my mum. My mum (also my backbone and my critical
friend) took one look at me and said “your skin looks good, what are you using? Whatever it is I want one!”. I was pleasantly
shocked as my mum normally tells me that I need to look after my skin and is
the first person to point out if she doesn’t like what I’m wearing, if I look
bloated, etc (she has a way with words).
It’s been two weeks since I have started
using the magnitone , its only added one minute to my bedtime routine and my
husband is impressed that I’m still using it.
I love it and just like I won’t be going back to using a normal tooth
brush, I won’t be giving up my Magnitone…It's a great investment for a busy mum.

Things to remember when using the Magnitone…
1. you only need to use it once a day. Night is
better as it’s when you have the most grime on your face!
2. Don’t press hard on your face just glide in
circular motions. Remember you are not scrubbing your face.
3. Wash the head after each use
4. Replace the head every three months
5. Don’t use it on your eye area.
6. It’s waterproof
What makes the Magnitone special?
Unlike many similar looking products on the
market the Magnitone doesn’t work like them (a scrubber). It uses a combination of pulsed vibrations and sonic
oscillations that wobbles the dirt out of the pores, tones and boosts
micro-circulation (Magnitone.co.uk).
Even though I love my Magnitone, if I could improve it I would...
1. have a light that
would come on to notify me if I’m pressing too hard on my skin/face, just like I
have on my electric toothbrush, when I add too much pressure on my teeth a red
light comes on.
2. have it come in
red, the barefaced Magnitones come in many different colours. The Full Monty only comes in grey or
teal. I love strong colours especially red…
If you have any
questions about the magnitone, just send me an e-mail and remember also eating
well is key to looking good!
I need to remember to get one for my mum before she comes over and nicks mine!
Speak soon,

P.s If Magnitone is
reading this please send me a red one!
