Facial Brushes

Facial cleansing with a facial brush can be elementary, using just soap and water. Or it can be much more elaborate, using a sonic facial brush with special cleansers and moisturizers. What you use really boils down to what works for you and your budget.

Aside from the obvious things that are necessary for healthy skin, such as a good facial cleanser, a good facial scrub, and a moisturizer, you need to really have an overall facial care regime. The key is to cleanse away the dirt from makeup and oil buildup, exfoliate the dead skin cells that occur every day, and then apply a moisturizer to help you skin maintain its youthful glow.

In order to determine what to use, think about what moisturizers and skin care products you have used on your face in the past. Write down every procedure and product that you have used. Then go back over the list and write down how each procedure and product worked for you. Did you get any benefits at all from any of the procedures and products that you used?

What About Sonic Facial Brushes?

If none of the manual forms of facial cleansing systems worked for you, you may be ready to try a sonic facial cleansing system. There are a few brands on the market now, most notably Clarisonic and Pretika. These sonic facial brushes look as though they have rotating brushes that would severely damage your skin. But in reality, they have brushes that pulsate to ultrasonic vibrations. These vibrations are similar to how ultrasonic toothbrushes work. The vibrations are very gentle, acting as micro-massage fingers, massaging the dirt, grease, and grime out of the pores of your face. The vibrations also remove the outer epidermis of the skin, that dry and flaky layer that makes your face feel dirty.

These sonic facial cleansing systems are gentle enough for you to use them twice a day. However, it is extremely critical that you use the proper facial cleanser when using a sonic facial brush. Any cleanser with abrasives will damage your skin. There are many non-abrasive cleansers available to work with the sonic skin cleansing systems to insure you get a smooth, soft cleansing of your face.

Not sure whether you should move on to a sonic facial brush? Consider these benefits:

• Reduction of fine lines and wrinkles
• Up to 6 times more makeup removed vs. manual cleansing with finger pads
• Skin is left feeling smoother and younger
• Reduction in size of visible pores
• Cleansing is so complete that your other products absorb better
• Gentle enough for faces with acne and rosacea

Sonic facial cleansing systems also allow for the fact that not everyone’s skin is the same. The degree of cleansing can be adjusted through the use of different brushes (delicate, sensitive, or normal) and through the power level of the actual sonic facial brush (low and normal).

If you’ve been frustrated by the results of your current exfoliating facial brush, now is the time to try new technology: a sonic facial brush! And see the natural beauty of your face shine through!
