FOREO BEAR MINI REVIEW + TUTORIAL 🐻 how to use it with and without the app and other tips

[@selectiveoutrage6617]

Glad I found this video. I panicked when my five year old phone couldn't scan QR codes. Other influencers emphasized using the app so I wonder if the company is gathering information that way.

[@dawrightleo13]

this was the best one I've watched on the bear mini....thank you girl!!

[@VIVENCS]

wow thank you❤ :)

[@Mixkayla24]

I just got the update bc I didn't know I had to and realized that the pro is making a difference even more!

[@VIVENCS]

Do you mean the full size Bear?😍

[@Mixkayla24]

@@VIVENCS both of them come with pro mode which I didn't know and it can vibrate without stopping! It's kinda neato lol

[@VIVENCS]

Hmmm i havent heArd of this yet🧐 i got another mini which does the vibration without stopping and i thought it was a defect 😅😂

[@Diana-tc8rg]

Thanks, I liked your review. I just want to point out that the instructions clearly say that you can't use the device on the eye contour area

[@VIVENCS]

Thank you☺️ I have just checked the manual and I can see it mentions the “circular muscle within the orbital rim” as a no-go area. I honestly have no idea which particular area is that (neither could i find it online) but as many micro current device companies- including FOREO - make tutorials focusing on the eye area, I believe the area they mention has to be something more specific and closer to the eye lid itself (which I also exclude☺️). Ofc if you don’t feel safe using it there, it is up to you but I believe the areas I have shown are safe as I also learned these routines from different professional tutorial videos☺️

[@leiac98]

thank you - the instructions are so small had a hard time reading it

[@VIVENCS]

Happy it helped ☺️

[@Incidit]

Hi, my bear mini is giving me small shocks sometimes even with the lowest setting - is that normal or is it because I have really sensitive skin? Not really liking it

[@kathrinfurter7781]

I buy the bear mini two days ago and this video helps me so much! Thank you girl☺️

[@VIVENCS]

I’m really happy to hear that!❣️ I’m sure you will love it 😍 btw I will have some tutorials for the bear, so let me know if you have a routine you would like to see☺️

[@kathrinfurter7781]

@@VIVENCS thanks for your friendly reply!😍 i would like to see you full face routine because your skin looks so stunning!✨ But i have a (maye a little bit strange) question: can / should i use the bear on the neck too or only in face? I find no answer of that in the original foreo instruction🙈

[@VIVENCS]

Thank you💗 I will try to film a full face routine then☺️ Although for full face I use my Nuface mainly. And YES you can definitely use it on your neck - but not on the middle part (i think it is called thyroid😄)

[@oneturkoneindo]

I tried this product but when I used it on my face it was like a tingling electric shock, it made me shocked

[@peaceforever1502]

This was so helpful, thankyou so much.

[@VIVENCS]

Im always happy to hear that🥰 i hope you enjoy your BEAR 🐻

[@Lonelovers]

Great review, very useful, thanks

[@VIVENCS]

Happy you found it useful 💖

[@CarmelaSa]

The serum is not necessary as slip agent.. you need a conductor for the current

[@VIVENCS]

Agreed, and i might have not gone into much detail about that BUT you also need it as a slip agent since you dont want to drag your skin :)

[@sarah4035]

This was helpful, just bought my Foreo bear device and was wondering why it didn’t buzz when I turned it on without the app. By the way the video quality is amazing, can I ask with camera and lenses do you use? 👌😌

[@VIVENCS]

So happy to hear!😊 i am actually using a very entry level camera and light boxes (in my other videos i rely on natural lighting) it is sony a5100 😊

[@DominikaWojtasiewicz]

this vid was super useful, I only have a qustion as cant fnd it nowhere: can the bear a bit give you senseston on electrc spark on your face? its not painful but i feel it every so often, also on setting 1 only. i use a lot of gel and do all as recommended, maybe ou can help?

[@VIVENCS]

Glad to hear! 🥰 and yes it can but I personally only feel that when i have breakouts and it touches them, other time i didnt feel the spark (i did with my nuface devise sometimes). I would suggest maybe trying a different gel and nake sure it isnt oil based 😊

[@pina2458]

Hi, that was an amazing video. Could you please mention about how I can use bear mini to make my lips bigger 😸

[@VIVENCS]

Thanks 💗 hehe i can try to make another video with tricks like that☺️

[@concken1]

Can you recommend a good serum to use?

[@VIVENCS]

I would say you can use any serum that is not oil based. I never use a specific one I always just use whatever I have in my daily routine ☺️ One tip though is to have an additional cheaper one just in case because sometimes I’m using for example a more expensive vitamin C serum and it might not give enough slip for a whole routine so instead of “wasting“ my vitamin C serum as a slipping agent I just use another hyaluronic acid (or any more affordable serum) on top of it to make sure that it slides well☺️

[@peacequeen2579]

it comes with a serum

[@kristiina56]

Hi. Did you find out about using it around the eyes?

[@Lulu-xl5cm]

waitttttt, I have the bear too and it clearly says in the description not to use it around the eyes o.o what's up with that?

[@VIVENCS]

yes, someone else also mentioned it in the comments. although other micro current devices specifically advised for the around eye area (NuFace ELE), I like to use it there and had no issues with it either. I will contact FOREO and hear more about it becuase I would find it weird if you werent allowed to use it in the area where most people would want to have lifting 😊

[@Svz22]

@@VIVENCS hello! :) Thank you for the video. Has Foreo answered to you regarding the eye area?

[@megmegmegmeg4128]

In the manual there is note, that it's not to be used in an under eye area. I see that you are using it over there. I would like to use it over there, too) but I bit concerned... What would you recommend?

[@VIVENCS]

Hey😊 I have received a comment previously from someone else, after that I looked it up and i can see that it mentions a certain area of the under eye.. honestly I will for sure keep using it under my eye, it is one of the reasons why i have the mini and why I have purchased the NuFace ELE attachment (long time ago which i have since returned). In many tutorials - especially for NuFace- u can see that they are using it under eye as well. I will get in contact with FOREO about this because I don’t want to push anybody to do it unless it is safe, although from what i have seen so far it is perfectly ok to use there ☺️ but just for disclaimer 🚨 it is my own option and not a medical one or one by FOREO

[@megmegmegmeg4128]

@@VIVENCS thanks for the answer! I am myself interested in using it in that area, as I have recently bought my own Bear Mini )

[@VIVENCS]

I ll leave a comment when I figure sth more about it☺️

[@badoodles08]

I tried the mini on my orbital (below eyebrow on the bone) and my eyelid twitches on the lowest setting and enough serum. Have you had this experience?

[@VIVENCS]

Yeah I actually had it a few times (mainly with my NuFace device). I believe it is totally normal as that area is very sensitive. My best advice is to use more serum / gel to create a layer between your skin and the device- this worked best for me 😊

[@themagicalfox6]

What Serums would you recommend as an affordable alternative?

[@VIVENCS]

Literally any water based serum that is a bit thicker so you dont have to continuously reapply it😊 any affordable one works😊

[@Lulu-xl5cm]

go with aloe vera gel :D

[@marieking7082]

Hi if it’s first time use is it better to start at intensity 4 then when do I build up intensity ?

[@VIVENCS]

Hi. It is totally up to you and how it feels on your skin. I always do 5 and started out on max as well, you just need to make sure to use enough serum/gel. Then it is less likely that you will feel a sting😊

[@cindyym]

Can i use another product on my face other than purchasing the serum?

[@VIVENCS]

yes! :) you dont have to use FOREO's serum, but you must used a WATER BASED serum or gel with this and any other microcurrent devices. The cheapest alternative is either ultrasound gel - but that you must wash off so it makes it kinda unconvenient - or some sort of aloe vera gel :)

[@concken1]

Does the app actually help or do anything different?

[@VIVENCS]

It could help if you don’t know what routine to do, but I always use mine without it ☺️

[@herviewofthepew]

Can you use this on your neck and jaw line? I don’t see any tutorials on that. Only w the bigger one.

[@selectiveoutrage6617]

Beauty Beyond 40 is the device queen of youtube. She tests everything. I find her channel very helpful.

[@cherh22]

Which are your absolute favorite facial devices?

[@VIVENCS]

oh this is such a difficult question 🙈after trying the things I have, it would be difficult getting rid of any of them BUT if I had to start purchasing them from the start I would buy the LUNA 3 mini (I cannot go a day without using it) and maybe the UFO 2, because it really gives such a spa-like experience and my skin fells so extremely hydrated after using it 😊🧖🏼‍♀️ If I was older, I would probably say a micro current device (like the BEAR mini) over the UFO 2, because it is really is the best for anti ageing

[@karishmatymothy]

When I tried it by my eyes it was shocking that area.. maybe I used too less serum

[@VIVENCS]

Hmm probably that’s the reason, just try it w more serum😊but also a bit buzzing/tingling is normal ☺️

[@jesss9927]

This shocks my face even with a generous amount of serum.

[@VIVENCS]

really?? That sounds weird, because I havent experienced that even my Nuface and that is more likely to "shock". If you keep getting that shocking feeling, you definetely should contact FOREO (unless it is just a little buzzing, because that is normal :) )

[@LongEarnz]

this is what I worried the most...not sure should I get one for myself. Have you contacted Foreo for the device exchange?

[@VIVENCS]

In my opinion you really don’t need to worry about it! As long as you use enough serum there shouldn’t be any problem 😊 likely much “safer” than the Nuface (although i love my NuFace too - you just need to get used to the buzzing in some areas - e.g. hair line, but it isn’t like a real “shock” feeling- if it makes sense😄)

[@jesss9927]

Ok so I’ve been using it for a while now and it seems my face must have gotten used to it. Still get a shock here and there but it’s fine. I love it.

[@VIVENCS]

Sounds good 😍 happy you got around it🥰

[@loriannschultz2360]

I just got the full size Bear but I’m wondering if I need the mini as well for getting around my eyes and mouth or will the full size do everything?

[@VIVENCS]

I don't have the full size bear, I only have the NuFace Trinity which has almost the same size as the Bear and I would say I can do both my eyes and lips with it. Of course it wont be the exact same and it isn't as precise, but I wouldn't buy both of them right in the start. Just try to get used to the Bear, test how you can use it the best for your face and then if you feel like you need more precision, then invest in the mini :) I will soon upload a video where I compare the NuFace (which will be very similar or almost identical to the full size Bear) to the Bear mini. I hope that video will help you see the difference :) - and ofc I am planning to get the full size Bear too, so when that happens I can show you all 3 in comparison :D

[@albenastaneva9868]

Foreo bear mini doesn't have any effect on my face, I don't recommend.

[@Poppyy2021]

I'm confused? Isn't the reason for using these foreo gadgets instead of getting botox or fillers ? You clearly have had both done to your face

[@VIVENCS]

Haha i take this as a compliment!😃 im 27 so im still semi wrinkle free without botox - although just for transparency i do plan to try it, already for preventative measures - that being said, you can use microcurrent devices when you have botox. Not sure about the “rules” as it hasn’t concerned me yet, but when it does i will include that in my videos ☺️ And as for fillers - i only have them in my lips, which again has nothing to do with microcurrent but I would think the same applies as for botox and you can use them together
