The compact size makes it easy to fit into a travel or busy schedule.
Why BEAR 2 go fits a quick routine
The BEAR 2 go is the travel-friendly version of FOREO's microcurrent device. It's compact and lightweight, so you can use it at home or on the go without skipping your skincare routine. Unlike larger devices, it's designed for portability, making it a practical choice if you want a consistent firming routine without being tied to a single location.
What you need before you start
You'll need the BEAR 2 go device, a conductive gel or serum (water-based, without silicone or oil), and clean skin. Avoid using the device on dry skin or with oil-based products, as they block microcurrent conduction. If you have sensitive skin or a medical condition, consult a professional before use.
Step-by-step BEAR 2 go routine
- Cleanse and dry your skin: Start with a clean, dry face. Remove makeup, oil, and dirt with a gentle cleanser. Pat dry with a towel. Do not apply moisturizer or oil-based products before microcurrent, as they create a barrier. Checkpoint: Skin should be completely dry and free of residue. If you feel any slip, you've used the wrong product.
- Apply a conductive gel or serum: Apply a thin, even layer of a water-based conductive gel or serum to your entire face. This helps the microcurrent travel evenly and prevents uncomfortable sensations. Reapply as needed during the session if the gel dries out. Common mistake: Using too little gel. If you feel tingling or pulling, add more gel.
- Turn on the device and select intensity: Press the power button to turn on the BEAR 2 go. Use the + and – buttons to choose your intensity level. Start at the lowest setting and increase gradually as you get comfortable. The device has a built-in timer that pauses every 30 seconds to prompt you to move to the next area. Checkpoint: You should feel a gentle tingling or pulsing, not pain. If it hurts, lower the intensity.
- Glide upward and outward along your jawline: Place the device on your jawline and glide it upward toward your ear using slow, gentle strokes. Repeat on the other side. Use light pressure—do not press hard or drag the skin. The device should glide smoothly over the gel. Common mistake: Pulling or tugging the skin. Let the device do the work; your hand should guide, not force.
- Move to your cheeks and forehead: Glide the device from the center of your cheeks outward and upward toward your temples. Then move to your forehead, gliding from the center outward toward your hairline. Spend about 30 seconds on each area, or follow the device's timer prompts. Checkpoint: Keep the device in constant motion. Do not hold it in one spot for more than a few seconds.
- Finish and clean the device: After completing your routine (about 5–10 minutes total), turn off the device. Wipe it clean with a damp cloth or rinse the metal spheres with water. Pat dry. Follow with your regular moisturizer or skincare products. Next step: Use 3–5 times per week for best results. Consistency matters more than session length.
