Manuals

With manual facial brushes, you yourself control the movements on your face, which may have bristles or be completely covered in silicone.

Electronics

Here, it is the brush itself that performs the pulsations and the movements are guided by you. It can also be made up of bristles or with silicone contact points.

How to use brushes to clean your skin

1. Wet your face with running water, preferably warm. Avoid very hot water, as this can further stimulate the production of oil in the skin;
2. If the soap is liquid, apply the product directly to the brush. If it’s a bar, make a foam with the product in your hands, apply it to your face and then use the brush;
3. Time to handle the brush on the skin, making circular movements so as not to harm the face, always from bottom to top. Pay attention to the most oily areas, such as the T-zone, and the eye and cheekbone area (if your skin is more sensitive), just slide the bristles or silicone dots over the area to avoid irritation. Cleaning can be done for one minute.
4. After using the brush, rinse your face with cold water to close the pores and keep them clean;
5. Be sure to clean the brush well with a neutral soap to prevent bacteria from accumulating.

Conclusion

It is important to emphasize that cleansing your skin is good, but there must be a limit. Just like any other area of ​​the body, there is a healthy amount of oil that helps control hydration. This naturally produced oil keeps the skin protected.

Therefore, cleaning too much and with too much force can cause an imbalance in this barrier. Therefore, I recommend to patients that the use of these brushes should be limited to two to three times a week, at most, to avoid major problems.
