Are you having trouble finding solutions to your open pores and cleansing your face thoroughly? Some may say that using your fingertips to wash your face isn’t enough while cleansing brush can help tighten pores, gives you a fresher look and improve your skin complexion.

This blog contains information about the use of cleansing brush, some tips and as well as my personal choice.

WHAT IS CLEANSING BRUSH?

A cleansing brush is a part of skincare remedy, and it is a device used for the face which is convenient to use. A good quality cleansing brush can make cleansing more effective and gives out healthier and cleaner results if used correctly. These devices help clear open pores, remove dirt, dead skin cells and any makeup. Not only it is used for cleansing, but the brush can also be used on applying moisturizers, serums or other face creams. It evens out the whole area, including the surface of your face as it moves rotationally.

THE BENEFITS

• It is suitable for skin breakouts or blockages. 

• It helps clear up skin with open pores.

• It is more effective than washing your face with your fingertips. 

• It removes off the not so visible makeup, even the ones on the surface.

• It lets your face feels smoother and fresher.

• It makes your face glow, and people will notice that too. 

• It treats or prevents acne for some people.

• It is suitable for normal skin, oily skin and even sensitive skin. If you have sensitive skin, you could use the brush for a maximum of two times per week or consult your dermatologist if you've any concerns. 

• It improves the blood flow, which can give you a healthier look. 

WHAT ARE SOME OF THE FLAWS

• A good cleansing device can be expensive.

• Avoid placing it in a damp area like the shower or next to the tub, store it somewhere dry like on your bathroom countertop. 

• Must clean it regularly with mild liquid soap.

• Must be kept in a dry place before use.

• Not suitable to use it if you are suffering from eczema or psoriasis flare-up and sunburned skin. 

SOME USEFUL TIPS FOR FIRST TIMERS

• Before you start using the brush, choose a cleanser that contains glycolic acid or salicylic acid to help reduce the breakouts during the first few weeks after using the brush. 

• Do not immediately use the brush every day. If it’s your first time, try to use it twice a week and then you can slowly use it more often after some time. 

• Do not press the brush too hard to your skin or rub too roughly. Do it gently and in a circular movement. 

• Clean your brush regularly with a mild liquid soap. 

• Store the brush in a dry place. Avoid leaving it in a damp area.

• Change the brush head (if applicable) at least every three months or as recommended by the manufacturer. 

• Do not share your brush with others to avoid sharing bacteria. 

• Silicone brush may be best for sensitive skin as it is much more gentle on the skin than using bristles brush. 

• Bristles brush is much more effective in exfoliation than the silicone brush.

• Stop using the brush if your skin feels irritated or if you get a severe breakout. Consult a dermatologist right away. 

• Before buying one, you should research which cleansing brush brand is suitable for you.

THE CLEANSING BRUSH THAT I USE IS ….

Before getting myself a cleansing device, I read many reviews on different brands. I was eyeing on Clarisonic and Foreo. I end up getting Foreo Luna mini 3 and has been using this brush for three months now.

So, why did I chose Foreo Luna mini 3?

It is light, easy to use, and it’s just the size of my palm. It comes in five colours - Yellow, Pink, Black, Aquamarine and Fuschia. This waterproof brush has eight intensities to choose from. It also includes a cleansing mode and a glow boost mode.

How were the effect and my experience? Since I started using this brush, my skin has felt smoother, and it helps me sleep better. I’m not kidding. People have started to notice that my skin complex has improved and I looked fresher than before. As for the price, it’s a bit more expensive compare to other ordinary brands, but it’s super worth it. I read that this brush can be used up to more than three years if used and stored properly. The reviews that I have read were legit, and it was exactly what I expected the quality to be. I use this brush every evening for cleansing and moisturizing. Furthermore, the battery life is good. I haven’t charge my device since I bought it. I’m so glad that I found Foreo, and it helps my skin flourish.
