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.

How to properly cleanse your face with a brush?

To achieve a good effect from using a brush, consider the following rules:

• Brush attachments must be selected strictly according to your skin type. Test the softest attachment options on your face first. If the skin reacts normally, the stiffness can be gradually increased;
• When carrying out procedures, the brush should be moved over the face without pressure. Pressing too hard will not make the procedure more effective - it will only cause irritation;
• After each use of the brush, the head should be washed with antibacterial gel or soap to prevent the proliferation of bacterial colonies. If you neglect the cleansing procedure, bacteria will multiply in the bristles of the brush, leading to the appearance of acne;
• attachments need to be replaced regularly, as over time they wear out and injure the skin. The lifespan of one nozzle is about 3 months;
• girls with oily skin can use brushes during nightly procedures, and those with dry and sensitive skin should limit themselves to 1-2 procedures per week;
• when carrying out deep cleansing with a product based on fruit acids, it is better to choose the softest nozzle;
• Remember that brushing is a different procedure from makeup removal, so one of them will not replace the other. The brush can only be used when you have already previously cleansed the skin of cosmetics.
• The brush should be moved over the face, strictly adhering to the main massage lines. Otherwise, you will not only not get rid of wrinkles, but also provoke the appearance of new ones.

How to use a cleansing brush?

Before you start brushing, learn how to use a facial brush, its limitations and precautions. Here are some useful tips:

• Depending on the sensitivity of the face, the nozzle is selected;
• change the working part every 60-90 days;
• When washing your face, do not put pressure on your face, as pressure does not increase the effectiveness of the brush and implies a risk of damage;
• rinse the chips after the cleaning procedure to protect them from dirt and bacterial environments;
• Only treat a damp face, preferably with a cosmetic product such as a scrub.

2. Electrical. The bristles of such products are made of soft materials that do not injure the skin. They are given a rounded shape to ensure smooth gliding.

Today it is fashionable to use electric, ultrasonic and regular brushes to remove dirt and deep cleanse the face. These facial brushes are easy to use, and most importantly, they do their job efficiently and quickly. Any girl can use such a brush and not look at the manual, but they have their own nuances, which will be discussed in this article.

Facial brushes are typically used for deep cleansing of the face in the evening. In this case, you should definitely apply cleansing gel and milk to the brush in accordance with your skin type (). In addition, the brush can be used for the neck and décolleté area. To do this, apply a little gel to the skin and then apply a brush.

How to choose a face brush?

For better and faster cleaning, it is better to choose an electric brush. Today in the market you can choose a face brush according to your skin type, for example, sensitive, dry, with blackheads. In addition to the electric one, you should consider an ultrasonic model, or a regular one with soft bristles. There are so many facial brushes to choose from, so sometimes it can be difficult to choose the right product. To avoid difficulties when choosing a brush, you need to consult a cosmetologist who will tell you which brush is suitable for your skin type. For example, combination skin does not like excessive cleaning, so a brush with a softer brush is suitable for this type (brush manufacturers Clarisonic, Brown, Ckeyin, Diadermine, Olay, Philips, Pixnor and Silk'n, etc.).

As already mentioned, today there are three options for brushes: electric, ultrasonic, and simple. They are created specifically for deep cleansing of the face from dirt, dead skin cells, and excess sebum.

An electric brush does its job more thoroughly than a regular one, which is why it is in demand.

Ultrasonic works by vibration - thousands of vibrations per minute. Due to this, skin regeneration is stimulated and metabolism is accelerated (). The ultrasonic brush is suitable for sensitive skin, because... less irritating and more intensive cleansing.

In principle, almost every device has a wide range of intensities - slower, gentler, more intense. Experts recommend always starting with the lowest intensity, then assessing the results after cleansing. If there is irritation on the skin or acne, it is not recommended to use brushes to cleanse the face.

However, many experts recommend using brushes to cleanse your face, but carefully monitor your skin's reaction. It is possible that if slight redness appears, the operating mode was selected incorrectly. In addition, an individual sensitivity test must be performed before use.

Using an electric facial brush

The brush is easy to use. The first step is to remove makeup, then wet your face and brush with water and a gentle gel. After this, select the appropriate speed (mode) of operation, then perform circular massage movements on the face (first cheeks, nose, chin, forehead) to effectively cleanse and remove dead cells. The whole process takes 1 minute. After this, rinse off the remaining gel from your face with warm water and apply moisturizer.

Who are these brushes not suitable for?

These brushes are suitable for all skin types, with the exception of very sensitive skin, or in the presence of damage (wounds), eczema, acne, rosacea. In addition, brushes are not recommended for use after peeling, laser and other procedures. In case of oily skin, excessive use may lead to hyperseborrhea.

What products to use during cleansing?

During cleansing, you can use any skin cleansing product: gel, cleansing milk, oil, depending on your skin type. The cleansing product can be applied to the skin or on a brush (optional). However, experts do not recommend using foam for washing, because... it contains too much air (the contact of the brush with the skin is less pleasant).

To cleanse your face, it is best to use products with soft foaming without the presence of exfoliating particles, because... a brush will do the job. Also, do not use products with substances that, like exfoliating particles, can cause irritation: fruit acids, salicylic acid, glycolic acid. If your skin is sensitive, use a soft brush 3 to 5 times a week. If irritation, dryness, or acne occurs, stop using the brush.

After using the facial brush, it should be thoroughly cleaned with soapy foam and water, dried and stored in a dry, clean place. The tip should be changed every 3 to 5 months.

Advantages

When used correctly, a facial brush leaves your skin clean, soft and smooth. The massage movements of the brush stimulate the skin and remove dead cells at the first use. An electric brush is not able to clean pores or remove blackheads, however, it makes them less noticeable by removing impurities. Thanks to this cleansing, the skin breathes and is cleansed more deeply than with regular washing. In addition, creams are absorbed into the skin faster after using an electric or other type of facial brush.

New facial cleansing brushes are a kind of electric toothbrush (), which remove dirt, invigorate the masses, stimulate blood circulation. Thus, the skin becomes smoother, more radiant and clearer.
