Types of facial cleansing brushes
Massage
A classic facial massage brush is made from different materials; its handle can be metal, plastic or wood. The decisive factors are the length and thickness of the pile. Regular massage brushes do not require charging, are not battery operated, and have no moving parts. The cosmetic accessory is extremely easy to use. You need to lubricate your face with cleanser and treat the skin with gentle circular movements.

How does the brush work?
Benefit
It is known that we spend only 10 seconds on the washing procedure. This is not enough to completely cleanse the skin. There are various auxiliary detergents, such as tonic and cream, but they do little to remove dirt. Thanks to the brush, you can thoroughly clean your skin at home. Electric models work especially carefully.
When using a brush correctly, we remove ten times more dirt than with regular washing with water. Manufacturers promise gradual smoothing of the skin, narrowing of pores, reduction of flaking, healthy color and smoothing of wrinkles.
To achieve maximum effect, use a brush and cosmetic cleanser. Thanks to this effect, the active substances penetrate deeper and we get a professional effect.
The brush works safely if you do not wash other parts of the body with it and limit the time of its single use to a couple of minutes. Of course, this accessory removes dirt, but keratinized particles can still remain in place; to remove them, you need to supplement the care with other stronger products. Simply put, many brushes only clean the pores on the face and do not provide a peeling effect.
It should also be noted that sponges by themselves do not treat acne and are often not suitable for sensitive skin. With a minimum exposure time of about half a minute, there will be no harm.
The brush pleasantly massages the skin and has a beneficial effect on blood vessels and muscles. In the best case, with regular cleansing, acne and blackheads will go away, pores will narrow, dryness and flaking will disappear.
One of the main effects is accelerated skin renewal and normalization of water balance. Excessive shine of the skin disappears, cosmetics are better absorbed.
Possible harm
Facial brushes, like any cosmetic accessory, can cause negative changes on the skin. If a person with dry skin over-cleanses, they risk getting microscopic damage.
In the case of herpes, warts and papillomas, the brush is contraindicated, since the bristles can disrupt the integrity of the tumor, and it will increase in size. Due to the strong effect of cleaning on blood vessels, this procedure should be avoided by people with closely located blood vessels. Otherwise, stretch marks and bruises may appear.
Washing with a brush is not advisable if you have allergies or severe acne. You may cause harm to your facial skin yourself if you apply excessive pressure to the device while cleaning. Always read the instructions carefully before using the electronic toothbrush for the first time. Use the brush individually and keep the bristles clean, otherwise inflammation will occur from bacteria accidentally entering the skin.
Facial brushes: how to choose and use correctly?
One of the most popular beauty gadgets is an electric cleansing brush. It solves several problems at once: it deeply cleanses the skin, acts as a massager and helps minimize the consumption of cleanser. This brush will enhance the effectiveness of daily care and help keep your skin smooth and radiant after a salon cleansing or a course of face masks.
Cleansing brush: why should you buy it? The result of its use is similar to what is usually achieved by exfoliating with a scrub. Mechanical cleansing removes dead skin cells, foundation and concealer residues in the pores, and also ensures blood flow to the upper layers of the skin through a massage effect. The result of using a washing brush will be as follows:
- the effectiveness of using your favorite face creams and serums will increase - after a massage with a brush, they are absorbed faster and penetrate deeper;
- there will be no need to use mechanical exfoliants and light enzyme peels;
- imperfections that usually affect those with oily problem skin are minimized - closed comedones, greasy shine, pimples and post-acne;
- The skin tone will be evened out and the facial contour will be tightened: the massage stimulates the production of collagen and elastin.
How to choose a brush for washing? A quality face brush should have a waterproof body - this rule is strictly followed by all manufacturers. They differ from each other only in design, number of attachments and the stiffness of the bristles on them. Make sure that the kit includes: a brush for daily use and a brush for deep cleaning of enlarged and clogged pores. By the way, the last function can be handled just as well by a vacuum nozzle for removing “blackheads.”
How often should I use a cleansing brush? It would seem that there should be no difficulties in choosing the intensity of its use - otherwise, why do you need a brush for daily cleansing of the face? But it all depends on the condition of your skin. Oily and dense texture can be cleaned with a brush twice a day, because it tolerates such procedures well. For a normal type of epidermis, 1 wash per day is enough, and those with dry skin can safely use the brush 2-3 times a week.

What is a face brush?
Facial brushes are far from new in the beauty industry. American cosmetologists adopted it back in 2001. Brushing allows you to perfectly exfoliate the skin, making it smooth and velvety, so it quickly won a whole army of fans. The brushes have become so popular that their creators have launched production on an industrial scale, and now the device is often used in routine home care.
A modern face brush is an item with a variety of attachments in the form of bristles or foam sponges. The brush head rotates and vibrates easily during use. If you use it without any special cosmetics, then the effect of the brush is reduced to a regular massage. For greater effect, apply a peeling or washing agent to the brush in order to conduct a session of cleansing the pores of any, even the smallest impurities, in parallel with the massage procedures.
Many representatives of the fair sex are so accustomed to using a brush that they cannot imagine facial care and cleansing procedures without it. But remember that any beauty devices must be used correctly and follow clear instructions! Any violation of the rules for using a face brush can cause irreparable harm to the skin.
