Preparation
- Before using the SkinVivid, clean your face and the parts of your skin you intend to treat with your usual cleaning products.
- If necessary, groom your face and the parts of your skin you intend to treat with the usual care lotions and moisture creams.
- If you would like these skin care products to absorb faster, use the hot mode with sonic vibration after applying the cream (see chapter “Using the hot massage” and “Operation”).
Massage mode (hot, cold, sonic vibration)
Every mode you select runs automatically for 2 ½ minutes. The SkinVivid switches off afterwards.
Using the hot massage
The SkinVivid’s hot massage at 42 °C promotes circulation in the skin and allows skin care products absorb faster for a smoother complexion and improved moisture balance. Also switching sonic vibration on will enhance the effect of the hot massage. Ideally, you should use this mode after your daily facial cleanse.
Using the cold massage
The cold massage firms up your skin and reduces pore size at 6 °C. In this mode, the SkinVivid also relieves tense muscles, reduces puffy eyes and wrinkles. Also switching on sonic vibration will enhance the effect of the cold massage. Ideally, you should use this mode after your daily facial cleanse and complete absorption of your skin care products and before you apply your make-up. For smoother, more radiant and more supple skin, we recommend alternating between the hot and cold massage.

Tips for daily use
Regardless whether you have dry, oily or sensitive skin, Silk’n SkinVivid is
suitable for any type of skin.
Morning ritual
You can use the hot massage e.g. in the morning after cleaning your face. Then
apply your daily care products. Once they have absorbed well, use the cold
massage, which e.g. is perfect for relieving puffy eyes and is suitable for
creating a smooth base to apply make-up to.
Evening ritual
Or opt for a complete evening beauty ritual after a stressful day. After
cleaning your skin, first use the hot massage to open your pores. Then apply
eye gel, a nurturing mask or moisturiser cream. Once your care products have
been absorbed, use the cold massage to close your pores and rejuvenate your
skin.
