Is It Worth Buying A Facial Cleansing Brush?

By now, you should know 100% that going to bed with makeup on is the ultimate skin care sin. Washing your face in the shower (a big no-no because the water is usually too hot) and not washing your hands before washing your face because, well, the wrong kind of germs?
 

This is where facial cleansing brushes come in handy. Not only do they help remove makeup and exfoliate, but if cleaned and stored properly, make sure you read these instructions! - They can be more hygienic ...... thus eliminating future breakouts. Sensitive skin types (i.e. prone to eczema, rosacea or psoriasis) should look for options with softer bristles and consider incorporating brushes into their regular bi-weekly rather than daily starters. It may be tempting to cleanse with force, but excessive shedding can leave you with rough skin. Not sure if it's the right tool for you? Chat with your skin to get their expert opinion.
 

Cleansing brushes are perfect for those looking to step up their cleansing game, as the device provides a thorough, more hygienic cleanse that reaches deep into pores to remove excess dirt, oil and makeup.

What are the benefits of using a facial cleansing brush versus your hands?

Cleansing brushes may make it easier to exfoliate or cleanse our skin more deeply, or have preset timers that keep us clean for a certain amount of time so we're not in a hurry.
 

Silicone Brush vs Bristle Brush

Silicone brushes are great for sensitive skin types because they are gentler on the skin and provide a deep cleaning effect at the same time. You also never have to replace the brush since it’s easy to sanitize and doesn’t harbor any bacteria.

On the other hand, bristle brushes do provide a deeper exfoliation. Since bristle brushes have firm bristles, they reach deeper in to the skin but those same firm bristles can cause tears and irritation in the skin. You also have to replace the brush often since the bristles cannot be sanitized completely.
 

Overall, the silicone brush offers the most benefits because not only does it clean the skin well, it’s also gentle, more resistant to bacteria and can be cleaned properly.

It's important to understand that not everyone can afford a cleansing device or massager - and those who can't aren't doomed to have bad skin! The most important part of washing your face is making sure you're consistent and thorough, not necessarily which tool you use.
 

How do you use a facial cleansing brush?

You can apply the cleanser to the tool or directly to your skin. Then wet the brush and use it to wash your face with gentle circular motions, then rinse well. Most brushes are waterproof and can be used in the shower. Be sure to wash and dry the brush when you are finished to avoid product residue and bacteria buildup.

Since the various parts of the brush act as an exfoliator - with varying degrees of severity - it is best not to use it in combination with other chemical or physical exfoliants, such as scrubs or beads.

Is a facial cleansing brush good for acne?

The purpose of a facial cleansing brush is to remove daily environmental debris and makeup and to act as an exfoliator of the skin's surface. Clogged pores can lead to acne, so exfoliating can help you fight acne. Once dead skin cells have been removed from the surface, your skin may feel softer and it will be easier to apply moisturizer evenly.
 

Is a facial cleansing brush good for sensitive skin?

Everyone's skin is different. For sensitive types, it is recommended to test the cleansing brush once or twice a week and to check how your skin reacts before increasing the amount you use. If the skin feels red, dry, tingly or irritated, this may mean that the cleansing brush has traumatized the skin's natural barrier.
