INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR MICRODERMABRASION SPA

Before beginning, cleanse your face, following your daily care routine. Lightly pat your favorite moisturizer or eye cream around the eye area.

USING YOUR FACIAL STEAMING UNIT

• Your Facial Spa includes two detachable cones:

1. Facial Mask: Use for facial cleaning.

2. Sinus Cone: Use for concentrated steam to assist in respiratory therapy. Place your nose in the sinus cone with forehead touching curved rim. Relax as soothing mist promotes easier breathing, however, do not use as room humidifier.

• Turn facial mask or sinus cone counterclockwise and lift away from base.

• Fill the water cylinder with warm tap water. Pour water into the reservoir and plug it into a 120 volt AC household outlet. (See Figure 1)

Figure 1

• Place facial mask or sinus cone over unit. Lock by aligning bumps on facial mask with slots over water reservoir and turn clockwise. (See Figure 2)

• Press “ON/OFF” button to turn unit on.

• When the power is on, the ready indicator light will flash for 3 minutes as the water is preheating.

• When the indicator light has stopped flashing and is steady, you may use the Facial Spa. Unit will automatically shut off after 45 minutes.

• FOR A TIMED TREATMENT, the timer control can be set from 3 to 15 minutes by rotating the knob to desired time.

• Press the timer start button and the timer indicator light will go on.

• The unit will shut off and a buzzer will sound to indicate that preset time has expired.

NOTE: One fill provides between 10-30 minutes of soothing mist. If the facial spa should run out of water, shut off immediately, then begin your facial again.

• Clean your face and neck

• Allow approximately 3 to 4 minutes for steam mist to develop, then place your face gently against the rim of the facial mask or sinus cone. To avoid burning, do not pick up the unit while water is hot since water will spill out.

• If more steam is desired, place a towel over your head that so it covers the mask and sides of the steamer.

• Close your eyes and relax as the soothing

Figure 2

mist begins deep cleansing action.

• Remove your face occasionally and blot with a cool, damp towel. Steam for a minimum of 5 minutes, but no longer than 30 minutes.

• Immediately after steaming, rinse your face with cool water.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR MICRODERMABRASION TOOL

• Snap the exfoliating brush attachment onto the unit, making sure it is securely attached.

• Apply a generous amount of your favorite exfoliating cream to your face.

• At the speed of your choice, massage the cleanser on your face in a circular motion, making sure not to exceed two minutes.

• Use for 10 second intervals per area beginning with the forehead; avoiding the eye area, move downwards toward the cheek and nose area then to your chin area. This step exfoliates, thoroughly cleans and removes dulled skin cells. Rinse face and pat dry. Next apply cool water or your favorite astringent to close pores and seal in moisture.

• Now you are ready to apply your favorite moisturizing lotion by using the sponge applicator. Dot your forehead, cheeks, nose and chin with a generous amount of moisturizer and smooth the cream into your skin. Apply light to medium pressure and use upward, circular strokes. After just one personal facial with the Microdermabrasion Facial Spa you’ll find your skin looking fresher and healthier.

SPECIAL PAMPERING TIPS FOR DELICATE AREAS

THE EYE AREA

• Give special care to the eye area during your personal facial, by lightly massaging additional moisturizer or eye cream on eyelids and under your eyes before you begin.

THE NECK & THROAT

• Apply your favorite moisturizer to your entire face.

• Mist your face for only 5 minutes, following Instructions For “Your Personal Facial”.

• Tilt your head backward so your throat is approximately 2 inches from the facial mask.

• Mist your throat for 2 minutes. For best results, accelerate moisturizing process by gently turning neck from side to side.

SPECIAL USES

• Consult your physician or dermatologist for instructions on how to best use The Microdermabrasion Facial Spa for your specific condition.

USER MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS

Caring for The Microdermabrasion Facial Spa After Completing Your Facial:

• Always turn off and unplug The Microdermabrasion Facial Spa from the electrical outlet before cleaning.

yourself. Return to the place of purchase with sales receipt.

WARNING:

IF YOU THINK THE

POWER IS OFF

WHEN THE SWITCH

IS OFF,

YOU’RE WRONG.

KEEP AWAY FROM WATER

Everyone knows that electricity and water

are a dangerous combination. But did

you know that an electrical appliance is still electrically alive even if the switch is off? If the plug is in, the power is on. So when you are not using your appliances,

keep them unplugged.

ALWAYS UNPLUG SMALL
