When I think of spatulas, I think of cooking,  The ones in your kitchen are flat, usually flexible blades. Spatulas are also used for spreading plasters and paints and in arts and crafts.  So it was with some curiosity, and perhaps a little bit of trepidation, that I tried the Labelle TrophySkin Ultrasonic Skin Spatula.

TrophySkin is Not A Phaser!

This sleek, ultrasonic Labelle Skin Spatula almost looks like a sci-fi phaser.  You can’t scrape a pan with it or find it helpful in crafts, but you will find that it does a lot to help “whip up” better skin.  What the Labelle Ultrasonic Skin Spatula really qualifies as a home version of a spa treatment known as “ultrasonic skin scrubbing.”  It removes impurities. After cleansing, it can also help to gently infuse nutrients back into your skin. 

TrophySkin is Ultrasonic:

Ultrasonic devices have been around for a while. The technology here is similar to other facial devices that oscillate at various frequencies. This allows for a deep cleanse and removal of dirt, debris, sweat, and oil from your skin.  This Labelle Ultrasonic Skin Spatula also oscillates at certain frequencies that allow for deeper cleansing and removal of debris and excess oil. You just adjust the frequencies to your needs. 

Once your skin has been cleansed with the skin scrubber mode you can add the infusion mode which allows you to use a  cream or serum (of course the company suggests their Argan Stem Cell Serum –we didn’t try it) plus the use of the flat side of the Labelle Ultrasonic Skin Spatula to help the serum penetrate more deeply into your skin.

 

The idea seemed sensible and easy enough to try. Particularly in Summer with sunscreens and a lot more humidity and perspiration makes the TrophySkin scraper a good thing. Who wouldn’t want to deep clean skin with ultrasonic waves at 24,000 Hz per second? We all want to unclog pores, remove dead skin cells and debris, get rid of ugly blackheads, and help restore a healthy glow to skin?!  Furthermore,  thoroughly exfoliating and cleansing your skin regularly really does help remove all those nasty dry flaky skin cells, and uneven texture.

 

I charged the unit with the included USB cord. You also get a hard-sided plastic travel case which is good if you are going to take the unit with you somewhere, Once charged, which takes a couple of hours, the unit is powered with a single button and you can easily switch between the two modes as the icons light up on the front of the unit.  TrophySkin is very quiet and the initial charge has lasted for days.

When I watched some reviewer’s YouTube videos, it seemed like tons of gunk was accumulating on the metal blade (it’s not attractive so I’m not posting any videos but you can search for them if you want). My experience seemed a bit different.  When I used the skin spatula I really didn’t see much “stuff” on the metal spatula. Maybe my skin is in better shape than I thought!  But over time I noticed that over time my pores seemed to be smaller and a lot of the big blackheads were gone.  You can also use the Labella Ultrasonic Skin Spatula on your face, neck, chest.

I have sensitive skin, and was careful how much I used this to begin with.  If you push on the unit on your face too aggressively, it can irritate it. Just make sure that your face is washed before you start, but keep it moist with water or a mist as well, otherwise you’re scraping off a lot of foundation, blush,etc. and you don’t want to deal with that when you want to get to the blackheads, etc. Also be careful not to use it over big acne or broken skin, or too close to your eyes. Be sure to wear a sun screen because your skin is going to be more sensitive to the sun’s damaging rays  (you should wear a good sun screen every day, anyway).

The press literature makes the point that spa or salon facials can cost upwards of $50-$75 per treatment and in some areas it’s a lot more than that.  This at home device is just a one-time investment of $149.00 and Trophy Skin will even pay the shipping. The company is a leading manufacturer of microdermabrasion, anti-aging, and acne light therapy devices made for use at home.

If you’re still wondering if it works, I can tell you that all I see is 4 and 5 star reviews, and I add mine at  5 stars as well. Trophy Skin conducted their own 2 week clinical study earlier this year.  According to the company representative, those using the Labella Skin Spatula had the following results” 86% experienced an overall improvement in their skin; 83% had fewer clogged pores; 83% said their skin looks and feels healthier,  and 77% said their pores appear smaller

 

The Labelle Ultrasonic Skin Spatula is a very pleasant, easy, and fun way to cleanse and infuse good products into your skin. A win/win for anyone who wants to have nutrient-enhanced skin, almost immediately! You know you want to get your hands (and your pores) on one of these.  It just debuted on HSN and it’s also available on the Trophy Skin Web Site.
