Hey Tina! You may not see a difference in the front shot, but I do! As soon as it came up I said out loud "oh yeah!". While the cost is high, it's still less than more invasive treatments. And no cutting! I'm interested in seeing how this works for you over time.
Hi Nancy Anne! That's great you could see it. This really is a device that I believe will take some time to show the true results. I am definitely going to keep track of my progress. Thank you so much for your support!! Have a wonderful day my sweet friend!
Heyyy.....this is such an amazing device!! Good to see what all this machine can do..good to see the results!! I can see that its working..I gotta get this for my mom!!
Hi Kritika! You are so sweet!! Thank you for all your support!! I have seen your Mom in your videos and she has beautiful skin! She doesn't need this!! Hope you have a good week!!
Hi Tina, you did a great review and I think you had great results. I have to be honest, I got my Lumo and started using it and then I moved, it got packed away and I could not find it. Well I have finally unpacked it and have started back with my review
You've had great results! I just wanted to let you know that the EMS is not the same as microcurrent. They are completely different modalities. I've used a dedicated microcurrent machine for almost 5 years now and you don't feel anything. I recently purchased a different all in one machine that has an EMS mode on it and holy wow-even on level 1 as you said it's pretty aggressive. I think it has a place but I won't use more than once a week.
Hi! Thank you for explaining the difference between EMS and microcurrent. I appreciate that! And you are right. That EMS mode is no joke!! I am being conservative with using the device, because I feel like you could actually do damage from using it too frequently. Slow and steady for this girl! Lol! Thanks so much for information. I appreciate the time you took to leave me this comment!! I hope you have a fabulous weekend! Thanks again!
Great review! I’m 43 and have revolutionized my skin through Korean skincare - we even use the same essence! I use to have a lot of acne, discoloration, etc until i turned 39 and started using K Skincare. I’ve been looking into getting this device to keep my skin looking young, even tho my skin is firm and not yet crepey or wrinkly. Is this similar to “RF MICRONEEDLING”?
Hi Calvin! I wish I had started doing all this at 43! I think you will be so happy you did when you get to be my age! You asked if the Lumo was like RF micro needling. With the Lumo you are not breaking the skin, so it differs from micro needling in that way. And obviously the strength of the Lumo is going to be a lot less then an in office RF treatment. Even though the Lumo is not as strong as in office procedures, after watching other RUclips videos, that talked about possible facial fat loss, I have become more conservative in using it. Now, I should say that I haven't experienced any facial fat loss (that I can see), but I have changed how I use it. I mainly treat my neck and I really avoid my cheek area all together. But, I also should say that recently I have been pretty sporadic in using my Lumo. I am getting so many devices that it is becoming harder to fit everything in! I am trying to get more regular schedule using it though, because I do feel it helps the firmness of the skin on my neck. I am sorry if this wasn't much help!
Wow Tina! I absolutely see a difference in your frontal shots (cheeks and 'jowel' areas... I hate that word jowels and you certainly don't have them, but hopefully you know what I mean!). Holy cow you have amazing results in your neck in the side shots. I am super impressed. Question: are you continuing to use your red light panel when you're not using this device? I love the combination of red light, microcurrent and radio frequency all in one and I just might have to get this (a Merry Christmas to me early present!) I do use my red light panel and a microcurreny device but to have ALL of this in one is very tempting! Have a good week friend!
Hi Sallie! I laughed with your "jowels" comment!! I know exactly what you meant but that word just makes me laugh!! Lol! I actually stopped using my red-light when I was testing out this product, just to see the results from this device alone . I'm back to my red-light again in addition to the Lumo now. I honestly still think a separate red light is a good thing, just because you really shouldn't use the Lumo more than 2 times a week. I think the red light with the Lumo is a good addition, but still happy to have my panel. So what micro current do you have? This was my first time using micro current and I'm not sure if it's the micro current or the sonic vibrations that feel so strange! Thank you so much for your continued support! Do you have any idea how much it means to me!! You are the best!! Thank you sweet friend!!
@@tinasbestmidlife I have been using the Clareblend Mini microcurrent device and really like it. I've seen some differences in my hooded eyes especially. I had read a lot about microcurrent devices and had seen where *another popular brand* had caused heart palpitations and headaches in some and I didn't want to risk that. The Clareblend Mini has been great so far, but being able to have the RF, the red light and the microcurrent in one would save some time! And btw, I love supporting your channel. I appreciate the research you do on beauty products and devices most especially. It's so thorough and it's obvious you spend time on that. I trust your opinion!
@@salliestephens1252 After using the Lumo, I am more interested in micro current. I have horrible hooded eyes and a lift would be great. I love that the Lumo has all these functions, but because I really believe you should only use it once a week, I feel like with micro current and red light, it's good to have separate devices so you can use those modalities more frequently. I think having those definitely adds benefits with the Lumo, but because of the radio-frequency, I am really using it conservatively. All the research I have done on radio frequency, makes me very leery to use it more frequently than once a week. I believe you truly need that "downtime" for your skin to "regenerate" and allow the collagen to rebuild. I've read about women having the exact opposite effects they were looking for by over using it! So I am staying on the conservative side with this. Slow and steady is what I am doing and if after 8 weeks, using it only once a week, I saw these results, I am excited for the future updates. That is just my two cents! Lol! I had never hard of the micro current you have and because I have yet to research it, hearing the research you did, is so helpful! Lastly, can I just tell you how much your support means to me???!!! Honestly, I struggle to put into words how much I appreciate you. I love your honesty with me that is always delivered with such kindness. You are an amazing person Sallie! I feel so blessed to have you for a friend. Thank you!!
Hi Tina I do see your results which are nice but i must ask what about your red light you have been using would you say this Lumo is better or the red light I was about to buy the green tea for my face now i don't know which way to go. Thank you
Hi! When I was testing out the Lumo I stopped using my red light, because I wanted to see the results from just this device. Now your question. I am now back to using both devices, but I really believe the full results from using the Lumo are going to take some time to see. For me personally, I am looking for things to firm and tighten my skin and I honestly don’t know if red light or radio frequency is the best for that?? I love that the Lumo has red light included, but you can’t and shouldn’t use it as frequently as you would a separate red light device. So basically, I don’t have a good answer for you. I’m sorry! I wish I could offer you a better answer!
Thank you! My jowl area is starting to bother me too and I am really concentrating on that area with my micro current devices in hope that it will help!
@@tinasbestmidlife Kindly update us on that. I purchased Tripollar to address that area. I do own NuFace but sometimes the gel irritates my skin. Please note, I used to own high frequency device called Dermawand. I got it in my teens, used it right up to my mid-thirties, having the thought of prevention and being a skin care fanatic. It turns out it is excellent for my deep rooted cystic acne to accelerate the cycle of the acne. The other bonus is the temporary snatched look and I loved that I could use a calming toner and no irritation. I think that worked a lot better than microcurrent. But, I was younger with good collagen. Maybe at some point I will buy high frequency device and see how it works for skin that is over 50.
I for sure see a difference. Can you list every tool you use together? Is it just this tool and the red light panel? . I got one because of your video showing the results on your neck previously.
Hi Betsy! The devices I am currently using are my Mito Red Light panel about 3 to 4 days a week and my Lumo, only once a week. How are you liking your red light?? I still think red light is absolutely amazing!
Have you used the EMS mode on your forehead at all, like in the double I zone? I've heard this technology can cause fat loss if misused and I've also heard not to use it above your cheekbones. I see you concentrated on your jowl, chin and neck area. That's also where I need to see improvement but also between my eyes where I have apparently been a little too "expressive". The improvements in your neck are just amazing, I have to say.
Hi! Yes, I have done the EMS mode on my forehead, but now I am a bit concerned...I honestly don't spend too much time on my forehead, but I thought if I could get any lift, that maybe it might help my hooded eyes! You have made me want to research more on this mode for my forehead. I really appreciate you sharing that with me. I am planning on taking more photos in a month or two and do a follow up video to see what my progress is looking like. One thing I have noticed looking at my neck. My problem area is right over my thyroid area. I know some women using this device pull the skin over their thyroid area to the side in order to treat it, but I have trouble doing that because my hands gets slippery with the conducting lotion! I really need to figure this out!! So I'm really looking forward tho the next photos! Thanks so much for watching and sharing what you know. I really do appreciate it!
@@tinasbestmidlife check out the honest channel and look for her video on this device. She shares some stuff that also made me look into this a bit more. This is a clinical-powered device. I love that you started at level 1. I read about people going straight to 5 and now that I’m aware of the possible impact…. I don’t want to do something crazy! Love your channel!
I will definitely check out that channel! Thank you! I honestly can’t imagine starting out at a 5?? That thing is seriously strong! I’m so happy to hear you enjoy my channel! You made my night!! 🥰Thank you!
HI Tina - Thanks for your review! I have been using my Lumo for about 3 weeks now. I am 52 and have been using the EMS mode M/W/F and the ENI, RF, and EMS modes on Wednesday per the recommendation of another lovely RUclipsr. However, seeing your results and listening to your explanation I am going down to once a week. Strangely, the last few uses I've noticed that the ENI mode is "shocking" me and is quite painful, even on low mode. A far different sensation than the EMS mode. Have you experienced anything like that? I'm wondering if my device is malfunctioning.
Hi Wendy! This Lumo is powerful isn’t it?! I was doing my treatments with a water based toner and I think that was working just fine, but I decided to get a conductive gel off of Amazon to try that and oh my gosh! I had to go down a level because it was so intense on both the ENI and EMS modes! I definitely feel the “zapping” in the ENI mode, but it’s not painful, just an intense feeling if that makes sense?? But the fact that you didn’t change conductor gels, and the sensation changed, I think I would contact Evenskyn and see what they say?? I’m sorry I’m not more help!
Hi. Thank you for the informative video. I have been using the Lumo for about 6 weeks. You are getting great results and I think it is helping me but not sure. How many minutes per week are you using it and do you use all the modes every week? Thanks!
Hi Nancy! I think you could see from my pictures, that the changes have been subtle so far, so I can understand if you aren't sure it is helping yet. I have been doing my treatments, one day a week and this is what I have been doing the last few weeks. I do one session in the ENI mode after applying a copper peptide serum. I have read copper peptides are helpful after radio frequency /micro-needling treatments. I know we aren't getting the micro needling part with the Lumo, but figured I would give it a try. That mode is 2 minutes long. Then I do one RF mode (5 minutes) and lastly an EMS mode (5 minutes) So, a total of 12 minutes for the week. The more I read about radio frequency, I think a lot of the magic happens in the "downtime". Giving your skin the time to work on building more collagen. I plan on doing an update video on my progress in a couple of months, so I can compare how my pictures look then against the before pictures. I hope this helps!! I am my no means an expert on this, but if you have any questions, just let me know and if I don't know I can contact Evenskyn to try and find out.
Hi there! I have been thinking about your comment and here are my thoughts. I definitely feel like the Lumo is working, but I also know that any changes I have seen are subtle, but I feel that's because I am choosing to use it very conservatively. I am only using it once a week. This is just for my own comfort level. I have read about fat loss with professional radio frequency treatments, and even thought the Lumo is obviously not as powerful as an in office RF device. I still don't want to risk it, which is why I only use it once a week. The red light that is part of the Lumo is a nice added benefit, but because you should't use it as frequently, I don't think this is a replacement for a red light device. My Mito panel, having owned it a lot longer and being able to really see the difference it has made, I guess at this point in time, I would say the Mito panel. I also love how in owning a panel, it has helped me so many times with a strained back or knee, etc. Now, as I continue to use the Lumo and keep documenting my progress, maybe that might change in the future, but right now, that's my opinion. I really hope that helps!!
Hi Jennifer! Thank you for the kind words! 🥰 Now onto your great question. From what I know about melasma, for some people it can be triggered by heat. Using the Lumo, there is definitely heat generated. In fact, that is why the instructions say to keep the device constantly moving over your skin, because if you stopped it in any one area, you could possibly burn yourself. But I should elaborate that when you are using it and moving it around, I have never been uncomfortable or felt like it was too hot. I did suffer from melasma, which I think was due to hormones during my pregnancies, but haven’t had any issues since. I am going to send of this question to Lumo and when I hear back from them, I will update this to let you know. I’m sorry I’m not more help!
Hi Jennifer! This is what I heard back from Evenskyn regarding your question. I just copied and pasted. I hope this helps! In most cases, radio frequency skin tightening generally is fine because the convergence of the RF waves happens in the dermal layer, which is below the topical epidermal layer, where most of the melanocytes (pigment-reducing cells) exist. Since the device targets the dermal layer and the pigment-reducing cells are in the epidermal layer, the Lumo will not help or reduce Hyperpigmentation. However, with all medical inquiries, we recommend following up with a medical physician or dermatologist to ensure radio frequency treatment is safe to undergo given your specific conditions.
Hi Deirdre! I have to be honest, that I have been very sporadic using this and I am not sure why? I am kind of struggling fitting in all the devices and that may be why. I did see some improvement when I used this regularly, but it seems like my go-to's are red light(that I am very consistent with) and micro current. I keep telling myself I am going to make up some sort of schedule to try and work everything in, but I haven't done it! I have never heard of Master Pro? I am going to have to look that up! Sorry that I couldn't be more helpful!
Hi Wendy! The only modes that have the blue light are the EMS mode and cooling mode. I get why you are asking because we can read about how we should limit blue light from electronic devices and yet there is blue light therapy that is helpful to people with acne, because it’s kills bacteria on skin. To be be perfectly honest, I haven’t read up on the differences, so I’m sorry I can’t answer your question. I am going to email my contact at Lumo and see if she can help answer the question and then I will get back to you!
Hi Wendy! I heard back from Evenskyn and I am going to copy and paste their response: Some research evidence does exist that suggests that blue light at certain wavelengths (wavelengths that are outside of what the Mirage, Venus and Lumo's set parameters), if directed at the eyes, can over time cause some damage, such as light in the range of 420 to 455 nanometers of wavelength. For damage to take place, research shows direct projection or light rays into the iris or cornea of eyes is required, and no EvenSkyn device’s usage has blue light entering a user’s eyes while open. Additionally, even on the off chance the light produced by an EvenSkyn device does enter one’s eyes, it’s outside of the wavelength identified in studies as harmful. Additionally, The range of wavelengths that our everyday electronic devices & gadgets with screens produce (such as our phones, computer monitors and TVs), can be, according to some studies, with prolonged exposure, be the cause of some damage to eyes. Again, what’s important to note is, the rays of light emitted are directly and in an unobstructed manner entering our eyes for hours. One way to understand what to avoid, in a somewhat reverse manner, is to see what wavelengths the blue light filters (that one can buy to install on top of their screen to protect oneself from exposure), block out and what wavelengths of blue light they allow. A person using a blue light filter will still be able to make out the blue colour when shown on screen, however, some wavelengths will be filtered out. Almost all blue light filters invariably filter out the high energy range of the blue light spectrum, being between 400 nm (nanometers) to 450 nm. And again, as a reminder, both Venus and Lumo’s blue light operates at 465nm, which is outside the high energy range, and further, in neither device’s case does the safe blue light enter the eyes anyway.
@@user-ey8sk7it7s Since having a RUclips channel, I have so many devices! It has been hard for me to be consistent using everything I have. Red light and micro current are the things I really enjoy doing, so they are the devices I am most consistent using on a regular basis . And I have recently also added the NIRA Precision Laser around my eyes that I am using regularly, because I am seeing such great results from it. But that one was an easy add because it is so quick! So as far as the Lumo is concerned, I keep saying to myself that I am going to start using it regularly again, as I think it can definitely help with firmness, but after doing my red light, micro current and now NIRA laser, I just don't feel like doing any more.
I promise you I did no editing to any of the photos in this video. I did try to crop the photos so they were very similar in size. I also tried very hard to get as close to the same angels and lighting as I could, but obviously it is not perfect. But I definitely did use and filters to edit photos
How nice of you to apologize! Seriously, thank you! I had to examine my video to see what you were talking about and I found the mole that you couldn’t see in the before, but could see in the after. The only way I can explain it is that, I might have enlarged the before photo slightly to have it be the same size as the after and maybe that blew the mole out??? That’s the only thing I can think of. It’s really hard trying to take these before and afters and have as many variables stay the same! I really try. But really, you apologizing means a lot! I am sincerely just trying to share information as accurately as I can. So thank you again!

I was doing my treatments with a water based toner and I think that was working just fine, but I decided to get a conductive gel off of Amazon to try that and oh my gosh! I had to go down a level because it was so intense on both the ENI and EMS modes! I definitely feel the “zapping” in the ENI mode, but it’s not painful, just an intense feeling if that makes sense?? But the fact that you didn’t change conductor gels, and the sensation changed, I think I would contact Evenskyn and see what they say?? I’m sorry I’m not more help!
Hi. Thank you for the informative video. I have been using the Lumo for about 6 weeks. You are getting great results and I think it is helping me but not sure. How many minutes per week are you using it and do you use all the modes every week? Thanks!
Hi Nancy! I think you could see from my pictures, that the changes have been subtle so far, so I can understand if you aren't sure it is helping yet. I have been doing my treatments, one day a week and this is what I have been doing the last few weeks. I do one session in the ENI mode after applying a copper peptide serum. I have read copper peptides are helpful after radio frequency /micro-needling treatments. I know we aren't getting the micro needling part with the Lumo, but figured I would give it a try. That mode is 2 minutes long. Then I do one RF mode (5 minutes) and lastly an EMS mode (5 minutes) So, a total of 12 minutes for the week. The more I read about radio frequency, I think a lot of the magic happens in the "downtime". Giving your skin the time to work on building more collagen. I plan on doing an update video on my progress in a couple of months, so I can compare how my pictures look then against the before pictures.
I hope this helps!! I am my no means an expert on this, but if you have any questions, just let me know and if I don't know I can contact Evenskyn to try and find out.
Hi Nancy I went online to see the red light you have been using, they have higher lights available can you give me advise?
Hello Tina! If you have to pick one, which one would you pick between the Lumo and Mito? Thanks!
Hi there! I have been thinking about your comment and here are my thoughts. I definitely feel like the Lumo is working, but I also know that any changes I have seen are subtle, but I feel that's because I am choosing to use it very conservatively. I am only using it once a week. This is just for my own comfort level. I have read about fat loss with professional radio frequency treatments, and even thought the Lumo is obviously not as powerful as an in office RF device. I still don't want to risk it, which is why I only use it once a week. The red light that is part of the Lumo is a nice added benefit, but because you should't use it as frequently, I don't think this is a replacement for a red light device. My Mito panel, having owned it a lot longer and being able to really see the difference it has made, I guess at this point in time, I would say the Mito panel. I also love how in owning a panel, it has helped me so many times with a strained back or knee, etc. Now, as I continue to use the Lumo and keep documenting my progress, maybe that might change in the future, but right now, that's my opinion.
I really hope that helps!!
I would use this product with sea moss oil
I have never heard of sea moss oil. They do state in the manual that you should only use the Lumo with water based products.
These results are amazing! Do you know if this is safe to use if you have melasma?
Hi Jennifer! Thank you for the kind words! 🥰
Now onto your great question. From what I know about melasma, for some people it can be triggered by heat. Using the Lumo, there is definitely heat generated. In fact, that is why the instructions say to keep the device constantly moving over your skin, because if you stopped it in any one area, you could possibly burn yourself. But I should elaborate that when you are using it and moving it around, I have never been uncomfortable or felt like it was too hot. I did suffer from melasma, which I think was due to hormones during my pregnancies, but haven’t had any issues since.
I am going to send of this question to Lumo and when I hear back from them, I will update this to let you know.
I’m sorry I’m not more help!
@@tinasbestmidlife that’s so kind of you! Thank you so much!
Hi Jennifer! This is what I heard back from Evenskyn regarding your question. I just copied and pasted. I hope this helps!
In most cases, radio frequency skin tightening generally is fine because the convergence of the RF waves happens in the dermal layer, which is below the topical epidermal layer, where most of the melanocytes (pigment-reducing cells) exist.
Since the device targets the dermal layer and the pigment-reducing cells are in the epidermal layer, the Lumo will not help or reduce Hyperpigmentation.
However, with all medical inquiries, we recommend following up with a medical physician or dermatologist to ensure radio frequency treatment is safe to undergo given your specific conditions.
Is this facial device still a favorite of yours and what is your opinion of the time master pro ?
Hi Deirdre! I have to be honest, that I have been very sporadic using this and I am not sure why? I am kind of struggling fitting in all the devices and that may be why. I did see some improvement when I used this regularly, but it seems like my go-to's are red light(that I am very consistent with) and micro current. I keep telling myself I am going to make up some sort of schedule to try and work everything in, but I haven't done it!
I have never heard of Master Pro? I am going to have to look that up!
Sorry that I couldn't be more helpful!
Hi Tina, have a wonderful Sunday.
Thanks Dave! You too!
I'm just a bit concerned about the blue light in this device. Is it strong enough to cause damage? Thanks!
Hi Wendy! The only modes that have the blue light are the EMS mode and cooling mode. I get why you are asking because we can read about how we should limit blue light from electronic devices and yet there is blue light therapy that is helpful to people with acne, because it’s kills bacteria on skin. To be be perfectly honest, I haven’t read up on the differences, so I’m sorry I can’t answer your question. I am going to email my contact at Lumo and see if she can help answer the question and then I will get back to you!
Hi Wendy! I am still wanting for a response to my email about the blue light. I am going to send another one and hopefully I will hear back soon!
Hi Wendy! I heard back from Evenskyn and I am going to copy and paste their response:
Some research evidence does exist that suggests that blue light at certain wavelengths (wavelengths that are outside of what the Mirage, Venus and Lumo's set parameters), if directed at the eyes, can over time cause some damage, such as light in the range of 420 to 455 nanometers of wavelength.
For damage to take place, research shows direct projection or light rays into the iris or cornea of eyes is required, and no EvenSkyn device’s usage has blue light entering a user’s eyes while open. Additionally, even on the off chance the light produced by an EvenSkyn device does enter one’s eyes, it’s outside of the wavelength identified in studies as harmful.
Additionally, The range of wavelengths that our everyday electronic devices & gadgets with screens produce (such as our phones, computer monitors and TVs), can be, according to some studies, with prolonged exposure, be the cause of some damage to eyes. Again, what’s important to note is, the rays of light emitted are directly and in an unobstructed manner entering our eyes for hours. One way to understand what to avoid, in a somewhat reverse manner, is to see what wavelengths the blue light filters (that one can buy to install on top of their screen to protect oneself from exposure), block out and what wavelengths of blue light they allow. A person using a blue light filter will still be able to make out the blue colour when shown on screen, however, some wavelengths will be filtered out. Almost all blue light filters invariably filter out the high energy range of the blue light spectrum, being between 400 nm (nanometers) to 450 nm. And again, as a reminder, both Venus and Lumo’s blue light operates at 465nm, which is outside the high energy range, and further, in neither device’s case does the safe blue light enter the eyes anyway.
Are you still using the Lumo?
I have to be honest, that this is one of the devices I own that I have been using most inconsistently.
@@tinasbestmidlife INCONSISTENTLY or consistently?
@@tinasbestmidlife if INconsistently, why?
@@user-ey8sk7it7s Since having a RUclips channel, I have so many devices! It has been hard for me to be consistent using everything I have. Red light and micro current are the things I really enjoy doing, so they are the devices I am most consistent using on a regular basis . And I have recently also added the NIRA Precision Laser around my eyes that I am using regularly, because I am seeing such great results from it. But that one was an easy add because it is so quick!
So as far as the Lumo is concerned, I keep saying to myself that I am going to start using it regularly again, as I think it can definitely help with firmness, but after doing my red light, micro current and now NIRA laser, I just don't feel like doing any more.
Does anyone know about the safety of using this over the thyroid area?
Hi Sherrie.
Evenskyn says that you should avoid going over your thyroid with the Lumo. So that is what I have been sticking to.
Do you know if you can use it on the upper chest?
Yes you can use the Lumo on your chest!
You are supposed to avoid the Thyroid area!
I do avoid the thyroid area. I do use the device on the sides of my neck. Maybe in the footage I got close, but rest assured I do avoid that area.
Sorry but your photo is edit you have a mole in the after but not in the before and i can see the blur on the before.
I promise you I did no editing to any of the photos in this video. I did try to crop the photos so they were very similar in size. I also tried very hard to get as close to the same angels and lighting as I could, but obviously it is not perfect. But I definitely did use and filters to edit photos
@@tinasbestmidlife well then you had amazing results 🙏🏼 and I apologize
How nice of you to apologize! Seriously, thank you!
I had to examine my video to see what you were talking about and I found the mole that you couldn’t see in the before, but could see in the after. The only way I can explain it is that, I might have enlarged the before photo slightly to have it be the same size as the after and maybe that blew the mole out??? That’s the only thing I can think of. It’s really hard trying to take these before and afters and have as many variables stay the same! I really try. But really, you apologizing means a lot! I am sincerely just trying to share information as accurately as I can. So thank you again!
@@tinasbestmidlife always with good intentions 🙏🏼 I also use the product.
