The Bella pauses every 15 seconds for your added benefit. This pause informs you to move to a different area so you get an even deep clean all over your face.
To clean the Bella just use soap and water. You can let it air dry, or you can towel dry it. Since the Bella is non-porous you do not have to worry about it growing bacteria. If you feel it needs a deeper clean you may use a soft toothbrush to gently scrub the Bella.
To charge the Bella, look at the bottom and notice there is a square tab. Gently pull the little square tab out, plug the connector in and connect to USB port or adapter.
Is it still waterproof? Your Bella is still waterproof. The little tab is an extra waterproof feature, however, we do not recommend keeping it submerged in water without the tab in place.
You can use either foam, gel or soap. Please do not use any cleanser that is clay based as you won’t get the deep exfoliation, or any cleanser with microbeads as the product is made of 100% Medical Grade Silicone and it could scratch the device.
The Bella is gentle enough to use it up to twice a day. Just two minutes in the morning and two minutes in the evening (this is including the moisturizing) and you will notice a difference to your complexion in 3-5 days.
To use your Bella, first dampen your face, you can apply a small amount of cleanser to the nodules on the bella or onto your face. Turn the Bella on and in a gentle circular motion do one area at a time using the exfoliating side. Wait 15 seconds to feel the pause, then move to the next area. Once your face has been exfoliated, rinse off the soap, and pat your skin dry. You then can redo the steps with a small amount of moisturizer using the anti-aging/massaging side.
The Bella shuts itself off around the 3 minute mark. It should only take 1 minute to exfoliate and 1 minute to moisturize. If your Bella is not turning itself on again that means you need to charge it.
If you are only using the Bella for your face you should get around 200 uses out of it before you need to recharge from a full charge. If you are using it on your arms, or legs like some of our Bella users, you will need to charge it more often as you are using it for a longer period of time.
The Bella has two sides, the first side is the exfoliating side. As it vibrates at 10,000 pulsations per minute it gives you a deep exfoliation by helping remove dead skin cells, oil and old makeup residue yet is gentle enough that you can use it up to twice a day. The second side is the massaging/anti-aging side. When used on a lower frequency this helps to stimulate more circulation and blood vessels which will help your skin become more oxygenated. Oxygen helps the production of collagen, and collagen is what helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. This gives you tighter firmer and more youthful skin.
